Your config looks perfect. I don't know what 123 miner is, so perhaps that is the issue. Downloading executables from forum posts is a no no. Learn to build from source. Have you tried Thirtybird's version of minerd? It's the most up to date for YACoin. It's at https://github.com/Thirtybird/cpuminer.

You can read my explanation how POS works at http://yacointalk.grokonet.com/t/calculate-your-staked-coins-with-coin-control/41

Thanks Groko for your replay, I`ll give it a try..
I have had downloaded win wallet from the link on the first page of this thread, and it looks different then the one you use for POS mining explanation.
do you have the link for that one ?

You'll want to download the wallet here  https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/download/stable_0.4.2/YACoin-0.4.2.zip
Make sure you back up the folder that contains your wallet first

Once that is done, delete everything in that folder except for your wallet and install 0.4.2.  You'll then need to wait for the blockchain to download. If you are upgrading from 0.4.1 you will not need to do this, but it sounds like you have a very old version.

As for minting Proof of Stake blocks, the only thing you have to do is:
First wait for the blockchain to sync fully  - Then,

Go to Help -> Debug Window -> Console.

At the blinking cursor type:   walletpassphrase YOURPASSWORD 99999 true
Replace YOURPASSWORD with whatever your password is  Wink 

You do no need to run a miner or anything else to mine Stake blocks.

I will be releasing an update soon that will allow you to do all of the following above by just checking a box. It will also not have a timer "99999" so
if you want to leave it open for 100 years, it will continue to mine stake blocks  Cheesy
