Topic: Yacoin Price about to Jump - page 4. (Read 10338 times)

Anybody known the total amount of YAC? or it will be infinity?

I think this coin is going to stick around. So I am just gonna hold my 50k until xmas and see what happens.

GeistGeld is fast too, 15 second blocks, and it is secured by merged mining so is much more affordable to mine. Heck the difficulty is so low still right now that you could probably mine it with a CPU despite it being merged mined, because so few merged mining operators are including it in their merge right now.

It is those coins, the ones with ridiculously low difficulty, that give the massive payoffs for quietly mining them with your CPU during the months or years they manage to stay under the radar.

YAC is hard to mine right now, BBQcoin was really really easy which is why CPU miners made so much profit on BBQcoin. They still get to mine Fairbrix and Tenebrix really really easy too still so for small miners it is the potential for massive payoff like happened with BBQcoin and maybe will yet happen with Fairbrix and Tenebrix that still look best for small miners.

Sure if you are paying for lots of Amazon instances you want your pay soon, but small miners can easily afford to run their desktop CPUs on a few obscure coins like BBQcoin, Tenebrix, and Fairbrix, maybe one core on each or something, for a year or more. BBQcoin probably bought a whole lot of people whole new desktop servers and maybe GPUs to put in them, maybe a new car and a kitchen renovation or something too once it did come out into the limelight.

If the hype of YAC's launch thread is the new bar for alts, it's going to be hard for new ones to look exciting.

That may well have raised the diff for the whole alt coin mining. "You need a hype this big to last past first week."

seems to be the only one left standing tbh.

YACoin is the strongest from last weeks coins.

I've never heard of this one...there must be two new alt.coins coming out every day lately.

Yeah, people are starting to care that BTC is slow... YAC be fast.

They're not expensive at all!  In fact, you can make your own.  All you need to do is add "testnet=1" to your yacoin.conf file.  This will immediately jack up your hash rates and block acquisition rate immensely!

Edit - That was just for limitless, our favorite scammer.  No one really add "testnet=1" to your yacoin.conf file.

GL brah, I just jumped off the ship, got 4 CPUs for a total of 600kHash and my estimate reward per day is 14 coins or 0.012 BTC lol

if you feel generous pm when you are about to pump or dump to make my move

So what is fpga and how do you mine with it?
Are they expensive?

Indeed.  That's what I'll be up to shortly, as I just got pushpool going for YAC.

You should really solo mine..

what is FPGA?

It's so refreshing seeing those with an understanding of what the (N,1,1) could do.  Hehe.  And as N increases, the renewed hype surrounding this coin will allow you to make an awesome amount in the short term.  

There's only so much time between now and when N changes to 64 though.  That will spoil the fun, at least for a while.

Someone hurry up and launch a new alt-coin (with advance notice this time), forked from Yacoin, and just use N=32 permanently. 

COME ON

Damn son... you're making pretty good bank there.

Actually, I think Yacoin is the FPGA-friendly choice, at least while it continues using scrypt+chacha/keccak(32,1,1) for a couple more days.








I can't be the only one who looked at this variant of scrypt and decided that fast external RAM was not necessarily needed at N=32..
