I'm curious how the coming N change will affect my GPU hashrate. The last change brought my rate from about 30kh/s to 7.5kh/s. I'm guessing around 20% left after this one. That'd still be much higher than my CPU, which I think is around 0.3kh/s now.

Despite the low market price, YACoin still has some of the best developer support around here.

I am talking about the original developer, he just released the code and disappeared, kinda shady (and please don't tell me Satoshi did the same, you just can't compare).

Then the initial distribution of the coins and the addresses with 400000 YAC from the beginning. I have also mined YAC during the LONG period it was more profitable than LTC in order to convert it to BTC.

The permanent misconceptions about mining YAC : CPU only , mining YAC with GPU would become impossible in the near future just FUD around YAC.

This could all have been avoided with some "official" face behind YAC.

Having said that, I appreciate the work and efforts by the current developers to further develop YAC (including COIN CONTROL which was a great feature).

For that huge prices YAC would have to be among the biggest 3 cryptos ...
Remember how many coins will be generated each year and how many are already existing and will POS.

This isn't like PPC where most coins are already owned by someone. PPCoins price depends on what people are willing to sell while YACurrency's depends on what people are willing to buy. That's a huge benefit for something used as currency, but that won't make you soo extreme rich if it get's established like bitcoin has/would.

The dev thread seems to be a bad place to discuss this so maby we should start an "Economics on YAC" thread.
I could write some thoughts on this, but not sure if people interrested. Interrested?

Well said 

Second!

Satoshi did the same.

I think the YACoin devs are awesome btw.

I am a proud CPU miner.  Is it possible/worthwhile to mine with a cudaminer?  (Nvidia card)

This is the first time I've seen actual data on YACoin CPU mining. Very informative, thank you. 

Not everyone sees mining as a fulltime profession that has to be profitable.

I don't think a CPU on idle is smarter than a CPU mining YAC. Calling someone stupid without considering his circumstances and motivations is just beeing stupid aswell. Mining on CPU can be smart for some and stupid for the others...

A n-change is an occasion to stop mining ...
Prices in May were by far higher than they are now so your chart has no real significance without taking prices(USD) somehow into consideration. That effect is probably magnitudes stronger than any n-change could possibily have done.


I really hope so.
CPU POW is a great way to distribute new coins to a lot of different people.

Agreed, there was a lot of large dumps after the last few N-factor increases.  People seem to forget that this coin was intended to be 'fairly' mined.  Wasn't the motto on the yacoin.org page 'wither you have a processor or a 5770 graphics card, you can still mine this coin.'  Well I'm proud to say my i7 and my 5770 are getting the same mining speed today.  And everyone with computer, has a processor, and will continue to be able to mine. 

btw - nice graph data above.    I too have noticed a huge increase to the number of coins I've been making per day from my processor (also set on low settings).  I think after this next N-increase (in ~4 days), even fewer GPU mining farms will participate.  And I believe soon after (it might take another N-increase or three), we will begin to see the switch from 'mine-and-dump' sellers to 'investors' buyers.

Question to the developers or anyone more tech savvy then me....

I keep reading a lot of cloud mining XPM through cloud servers.  I'm not sure I really understand how it works - but would it be possible to 'cloud mine' YACoin?
