Yacoin! WE NOW GOT A HELPDESK CLICK HERE CONECTION DETAILS --------------------------------------------------------------------- Public Pool, here can everyone register and mine. there are two connection addresses to this pool Main connection is http://smallcoin.org:8341 if you got any connection errors or problem use http://pool.smallcoin.org:8341 =) ----------------------------------- Address: http://smallcoin.org Port: 8341 Workername: username.1 Password: youworkerpassword ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The private pool. invites only. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Adress Address: http://pool.yacointalk.com Port: 8341 Workername: username.1 Password: youworkerpassword ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OKI, People listen up. i have added two new connection to pool.yacointalk.com and hopefully this will take of the load. the new connection addresses is http://pool.yacointalk.com:8341 INTERNATIONAL http://pool2.yacointalk.com:8341 INTERNATIONAL http://pool3.yacointalk.com:8341 INTERNATIONAL http://pool4.yacointalk.com:8341 USA LOCATED SERVER Simply, if you get any sort of connection problems, just try one of these connections =) You will not need to sign up for a new account, just change it in the miner config, if you already got an account at Pool.yacointalk.com @FortalWeb it would be best if you could split the miners betwen pool3 and pool4 =) it's the same pool, just more connections to it =) First the difference between the pools, the public pool is open for everyone, i want all the new ones there. this is so you can learn to mine, and learn the concept behind mining. The private pool is where i place everyone that have allot of hashing power, and people that can handle things them self, and don't need support other than if there is error with the pool. so also, i will give close support to everyone using smallcoin.org, the people at pool.yacointalk.com is mostly helped by them self =) So now that is out there, behold i present to you! a Yacoin mining calkulator! http://yacexplorer.tk/static/calc.htm Yes it is accurate, No kidding! FAQ *1 How do i register, and do everything at the pool page, before mining? Just go to the pool, Smallcoin.org, and sign up for an account, and go to "My account" and push the "my workers" page, and make yourself a worker. My username is Obermensch, so my worker name is obermensch.1 with the simple password 123. this is to make things simple. for this is not needed to kept secret, the worst case that could happend is someone godt your workername and the password for the worker, is that they submit hashes in your name, and you get bigger reward =) *2 My account is closed, Why? There is something wierd going on with my script at the pool, so sometimes it automatic close new accounts for no good reason. i goes over a few times a day, and open new account, so they are not locked. i trying to find a solutions for this. any how. if your account is still locked after 6 hour, then you can send me a reply on support, or here on TBN or in This thread so i can handle it. *3 How to use the miner? Go to this link =) In that link it goes pretty spesified in and show how to use the CPUminer. but please download the cpuminer from this thread since the cpuminer in that thread is old. Win32 win64 If you got problems, contact me and i can help you over teamviewer =) *4 How can i use my VPS or linux machine to mine with? ----------- cd ~ git clone https://github.com/ali1234/cpuminer.git cd cpuminer ./autogen.sh ./configure CFLAGS="-O3" make ./minerd -a scrypt-jane -o http://smallcoin.org:8341 -u username -p password -q Or if you are at pool.yacointalk.com ./minerd -a scrypt-jane -o http://pool.yacointalk.com:8341 -u username -p password -q -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty stright forward, contact me if you encounter problems *5 Can i use more than one computer on the same account and worker? Yes you can, but please, if you plan on putting a botnet, or 50-100 VPS on, please contact me in advance so i know, and i am prepered for what comming =) *6 Why do i only get Booos and non accepted share? Simple, you did not use Scrypt-jane, you used scrypt. don't do that =) *7 How can i join the private pool? We will ask you, =) *8 My wallet is out of synq? You need to wait for the blockchain to download, that can take 10-20 hours. *9 my wallet is not opening It can take time, when i restart the server, the wallet can take up to 30-40 minutes before it open. our developers are working on this issue now. *10 My ballance is unconfirmed why? everytime we find a block, it's devided in shares each roun. let's say a block is worth 50 Yacoins. and that roun there where given out 50 shares before the block was found, then each share will be worth 1 Yacoin, the Yacoin network require that each block mined need to be verified by the network 520 times before you can spend the coins mined from the block. that can take 16-17 hours. so i can not pay you before i have been paid from the network, that is why you have confirmed and unconfirmed Ballance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oki guy's this sould cover some of the questions i have gotten allot of. will make the FAQ more detailed in the future. right now i just needet to make something fast. hope this will get some of the support load off =) ORIGNAL POST UNDER HERE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, earn potensialy 0.01btc or more, if you got enough CPU power =) Before asking question, check the links at the end of the post =) First of all, Yacoin what is it? it's crypto currency like Bitcoin, but with another mining algorithm, so you can't mine it with GPU, ASIC of FPGA or any other specialized mining hardware, you can only use your CPU Oki, I get that, but how can I benefit from that? At this moment the network is slow, since only round 800 people mining the coin, that makes it much easier to get blocks, and easier to get coins to sell, or keep. right now with my simple I5 Intel 1.8GHz I make around 500Yac a day, and that is around 0.01btc on trading from crypsy.com well ofcourse it's mining so all depends on luck, some day's i get less. Just get me started oki?! Heey hold your horses we getting there! First of all, find you'r self a Pool! in the long run you always earn more from a pool, rather than just solo mine Just sign up at http://pool.yacointalk.com (this is my pool, and yes this is my way on promoting it =) ) Under this line there is some usefull links ----------------------------------------------------------- Crypsy.com the best trader!
