Only upper 8000er GForce (I think the lowest was 8800) and upwards support CUDA and OpenCL. So you need a newer Card if you realy want to mine on GPU (only makes sense for Scrypt/Scrypt-Jane Altcoins now).

New logo is way too generic and trendy, and now practically replicated and to be used with another altcoin. No problem? If so, you are idiot.
+1

it just looks like yet another bullshit coin logo. I like the Yak because it is different and etablished since a while. I can understand people liking the hexagonal logos, because they are also different than standard junk logos and you can recognise it quickly. But think about he new logo: When someone uses this logo in a shop that accepts lots of different coins, lots of s people will miss the YACoin Logo because it looks like every other coin. People will end up paying with bitcon, litecoin or whatever just because they didnt see that also YACoin is accepted. IMHO it is just dumb and doing no good to YACoin when this logo is used (especially if main pages like Yacoin.org and Yacointalk.com stick to the old logo).

I run BFL Singles and BEs from CraPE off a USB drive with no issues. But I"M using CGMiner, not BFGRipoff.
well, than you lose about 5 MHash/s accepted shares per stick. CGminer also has a hardware error rate of about 1% like BEs that that are detected as ICA. BFGminer detecting them as BES drops your HW down to around 0.6%.
Î dont care about the fight between Luke-Jr and the CGminer team, because it is childish. For most things it is just a matter of taste if you use cgminer or bfgminer, as both are very good mining tools. But if you want to use USB BEs then it is a nobrainer that your only choice is bfgminer, because otherwise your mining income would be about 2% lower.

Gestern abend ist noch der Logilink UA0126 eingetroffen. Eindeutiges Urteil: Bloß nicht kaufen!
- liegt nur ein 3.5 A Netzteil bei (wollte ich ja durch ein stärkeres ersetzen)
- Die beiden Port Reihen liegen so dicht beisammen das man keine zwei Eruptoren (geschweige denn Red Fury) nebeneinander betreiben kann. Ohne USB Verlängerungskabel kann man also nur 7 von den 13 Ports nutzen.
- Als ich den dritten Erupter einsetzte ging nichts mehr.

Der Schrott geht zurück.

I would dump the privkey of your YAC adress
Code:
dumpprivkey
and then import it on the new machine
Code:
importprivkey [label]
after that yacoin usually crashes (at least it always did when I imported vanitygen adresses), but when you restart yacoin the new adress should be added to it

BFGminer also doesnt support USB hot plugging.

Wrong. It does support hot plugging as of the latest revision.
As far as I know CGminer supports USB hot plugging. With BFGminer 3.2.1 I had to restart it to get another USB Block Erupter recognised.
Oh well, I have to correct myself, you can add a new Block Erupter to a running BFGminer:
- Plug in the Erupter and wait until windows has configured the driver
- Press "M" to manage devices
- Press "+" to add a new device
- Type "all" to scan for new devices
Downside: it is detected as ICA instead of BES, so it has a higher HW and gives you less accepted shares. Restarting is the better solution

Re: Which Alt. Coin you think will reach BTC price in one-two years?

None... except maybe Onecoin, but it is impossible to get 1 Onecoin   Wink
In longer term maybe some POS coins like PPCoin, Novacoin or YACoin might reach bitcoin level, but that is very unlikely. Other coins are even more unlikely. Bitcoin is widely accepted for bussiness, all other coins lack this acceptance and are therefore valued lower.

It will perform ~15% better on mining overall. ASICS perform ~500% better than GPUs overall. GPUs have long since become irrelevant in the bitcoin mining world. Even if major manufacturers were to add a specific SHA256 function to GPUs, the fact that the only thing ASICS do is SHA256 means that GPUs will never be relevant in the bitcoin mining world again. GPUs are, afterall, basically designed for graphics...

For bitcoin mining. In litecoin mining they are still great and make much more profit.
and the Hawaii will be even more usefull for scrypt jane (YACoin, YBCoin, ZCCoin, J-Coin, Copperbars, etc.) hashing because it has 4 GB RAM, which means its a smaller hashrate drop with every N factor change than the cards with less memory and CPUs. I will definitely get one.

Kann ich nicht bestätigen. Hab mir auch einen gekauft und bei 7 Stück ist Schluss, ganz egal welches Netzteil. Hatte es zuletzt sogar mit einem PC PSU versucht. Bei der Verarbeitungsqualität kann man schon von gemeingefährlich sprechen.
Ich probiers einfach aus, wenn nicht geht das Ding wieder zurück  Grin Schade daß die Orico P10 a.k.a. Tecknet Hubs nicht mehr zu bekommen sind, die laufen auf jeden Fall problemlos und reißen kein Loch in den Geldbeutel  Undecided

With a decent hashrate it makes sense to use load balancing to avoid bad luck of a single pool. With only one erupter it makes more sense to join only one of he big pools or to connect to a p2ppool.

Pushing CPU to 100% is not the right solution. Idea behind PoS is to use very little power to run the network, a so called eco-friendly cryptocoin.
Never said it's a solution. I proposed it as a troubleshooting procedure.
maybe you can add a new command like "pospriority" to yacoind / debug window to change the POS miner priority for testing purposes?

The November 18th to May 31st N change is going to be very good for the Yacoin price and network.

 Wink
Im not sure it will change much. With the last N change my 7790 lost 80% hashrate and my 7950 lost 40% hashrate, the funny thing is Im getting more coins than before. The CPU miners where also affected by the change (I guess 50% drop). IMHO the GPUs with lots of memory like the 7950 (3GB) are the winners, while normal GPU cards with 1GB RAM like the 7790 and CPUs are the losers. I guess it ill take another 1 or two N changes to hit those High End cards harder as well, but the small GPUs and CPUs are hit even worse with every N change. So I will probably get an AMD Hawaii (4 GB RAM, 512 bit memory Interface) for YACoin mining  Tongue

Im just wondering, is this miner usable for PPcoin?

A link or direction would be very much appreciated..

Yes no problem.
If you want to mine on D7 pool try this:
Code:
bfgminer -o http://stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u .1 -p -S all

If you want to mine on TheSeven pool try this:
Code:
bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://theseven.bounceme.net:3333 -O :esmpps -S all

For fixx pool use this:
Code:
bfgminer -o ppc.fixx.ru:8437 -u .1 -p -S all

Maybe a faulty hub? You read a lot about faulty Anker hubs on this board that show this behaviour.
