Re: [ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. START is now.
I also believe the OP may be a bit BIP incompliant.
I do not see an RPC command or a Field in getwork - getworkex or getblocktemplate that gives the current Nfactor.
I may be wrong and missed it, but withholding vital mining information from RPC is ,shall we say "dirty pool"

Here is where it's calculated in the source
Code:
// yacoin: increasing Nfactor gradually
const unsigned char minNfactor = 4;
const unsigned char maxNfactor = 30;
unsigned char GetNfactor(int64 nTimestamp) {
int l = 0;
if (nTimestamp <= nChainStartTime)
return 4;
int64 s = nTimestamp - nChainStartTime;
while ((s >> 1) > 3) {
l += 1;
s >>= 1;
}
s &= 3;
int n = (l * 170 + s * 25 - 2320) / 100;
if (n < 0) n = 0;
if (n > 255)
printf("GetNfactor(%d) - something wrong(n == %d)\n", nTimestamp, n);
unsigned char N = (unsigned char)n;
//printf("GetNfactor: %d -> %d %d : %d / %d\n", nTimestamp - nChainStartTime, l, s, n, min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor));
return min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor);
}
const unsigned char minNfactor = 4;
const unsigned char maxNfactor = 30;
unsigned char GetNfactor(int64 nTimestamp) {
int l = 0;
if (nTimestamp <= nChainStartTime)
return 4;
int64 s = nTimestamp - nChainStartTime;
while ((s >> 1) > 3) {
l += 1;
s >>= 1;
}
s &= 3;
int n = (l * 170 + s * 25 - 2320) / 100;
if (n < 0) n = 0;
if (n > 255)
printf("GetNfactor(%d) - something wrong(n == %d)\n", nTimestamp, n);
unsigned char N = (unsigned char)n;
//printf("GetNfactor: %d -> %d %d : %d / %d\n", nTimestamp - nChainStartTime, l, s, n, min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor));
return min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor);
}
Yep, I saw that, I have it pasted to a note sheet along with other snipets.
I guess I am going to make a patch and add an rpc command to get the Nfactor.
