Hey Thirtybird I tried to mine with your cpuminer,I have intel i7 and I use minerd corei7! When I use -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -O WorkerName:WorkerPassword  I get actual processor power which is 25kh/s but accepted shares are invalid but when I use -a scrypt-jane -q -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -O worker:worker_pass   shares are valid but my power is 0.07kh/s ! please help!

If you use the '-a scrypt' flag, you're computer is mining using the scrypt algorithm instead of the scrypt-jane algorithm.  YAC uses scrypt-jane, so you will have to use the '-a scrypt-jane' flag to have valid shares.  The decrease in mining speed is normal.  YAC uses the 'N-factor' which increases the hash length, and helps keep the coin resistant to ASICs and other specialized mining software.

If you use '-a scrypt-jane' and you're still not getting accepted shares, try using the '-a yacoin' flag.  I know some of the miners use this instead.
