YACoin is on the list, but I need info.

What is the total supply? That is blank in first post.

What exactly is the PoW algo? One part says Scrypt-N SHA-3, another says just Scrypt-N and in the next sentence talks about SHA-3 Keccak. Finally the miner uses Scrypt-chacha. I know the SHA-3 winner is Keccak but how does it fit into YACoin?

I would have to go look at some other posts on the total supply question.

YACoin uses Scrypt-Chacha (aka scrypt-jane) with increasing NFactor as the mixing algorithm and SHA-3 (Keccak 512) as the hashing algorithm.

to contrast with Litecoin, Litecoin uses Scrypt (salsa 20/8) as the mixing algorithm and SHA-2 (SHA256) as the hashing algorithm.


edit: duh, mix, hash backwards...
