Is it just me, or are the SHA-256 coins calculating off the Scrypt hashrate?
Ha! I saw that issue too... should be working properly now

Perfect! Thanks for the great tool!

Hanzac already released a 64-bit Windows build based on my GitHub repository about 2 weeks ago after I fixed the checkpoint warning.  Multiple people have checked it out and haven't observed it to do anything suspicious or unusual:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=206577.msg2207446#msg2207446

Yea, I even sent him a question or two. I was already working on it when I saw that. I was also trying to enable all the options on Windows, qrencode was the only one I couldn't get going. *shrug*

Thank you for posting that it is possible - I've been pondering away most of the night without a terrible amount of success.  Any chance you could link me your Makefile.mingw?  I know there are some problems in there (as the included one wasn't even including scrypt-jane.o in the objects and didn't have the algorithms chosen in the compiler flags like the unix makefile has).

The only dependancy differences I'm noting is that you used boost 1.50 and I've used boost 1.53 - I'm still getting the error I mentioned above, but now that it's actually trying to include scrypt-jane, I've got a whole host of other errors for that which don't make a lot of sense...

Sure. This only gets you so far, have to do the qt pro build afterwards. I think I wasted a lot of time trying to build from within MSYS but ultimately ran this from CMD.

Code:
mingw32-make -f makefile.mingw

If it helps anybody, last weekend I was finally able to build the client on x64 windows (using windmaster and floodyberry's github projects). I'm not sure why people say scrypt won't compile on windows, I don't recall having issues with that part. Dependencies were a b*tch though. I think I got upnp linked in but couldn't get qrencode working due to pthread linking errors that I can't figure out (yet). If nothing else it gets rid of the checkpoint message. It also uses a different icon for the exe (public domain by bitdwarf), but it only really shows in explorer and I didn't bother replacing any other graphics. It is using these dependencies:

BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mgw46-mt-s-1_50
BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH=d:\\boost-1.50.0-mgw
BOOST_LIB_PATH=d:\\boost-1.50.0-mgw\\stage\\lib
BDB_INCLUDE_PATH=d:\\db-4.8.30.NC-mgw\\build_unix
BDB_LIB_PATH=d:\\db-4.8.30.NC-mgw\\build_unix
OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH=d:\\openssl-1.0.1e-mgw\\include
OPENSSL_LIB_PATH=d:\\openssl-1.0.1e-mgw
MINIUPNPC_INCLUDE_PATH=d:\\miniupnpc-1.8-mgw
MINIUPNPC_LIB_PATH=d:\\miniupnpc-1.8-mgw\\miniupnpc

I didn't post it right away because nobody knows me and I didn't want to be accused of adding malware. Maybe someone trusted in the community could check it out. If you have any doubts, don't download it please. Also, you really should encrypt your main wallets to protect yourself this sort of thing. If you are doing solo mining and have to leave it unencrypted, I suggest making two wallets and transfer coins to the encrypted wallet from time to time. As always, backup your data before running any random downloads from teh interwebs.

http://tig.org/crypto/yacoin-qt.zip

I also recompiled the minerd_scrypt_jane_avx that god3 posted for x64, with the single change to not print the LONGPOLL messages when running in quite (-q) mode. Again, I don't know how to prove it isn't malware.

Re: [ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development - Unofficial client fork

What's the point of that checkpoint age test? Wouldn't the blocks eventually get old requiring an update to the hard coded checkpoint list?

Yeah, there's probably little point to the checkpoint age test remaining, unless we really want everyone needing to download a new version of the client periodically.  I'll defeat the checkpoint age test and also add a more recent checkpoint to my version of the client today.

Cool. I could see its value in testing or experimental forks, to keep people from using it beyond its intended use, but we're taking YAC to the moon! Wink

Its worth noting the official windows client says "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download or notify developers"

As far as I understand the issue there, it could be fixed by adding hash of some recent block to checkpoints.cpp file at github and compiling new client.

Code:
    // Is the sync-checkpoint too old?
    bool IsSyncCheckpointTooOld(unsigned int nSeconds)
    {
        LOCK(cs_hashSyncCheckpoint);
        // sync-checkpoint should always be accepted block
        assert(mapBlockIndex.count(hashSyncCheckpoint));
        const CBlockIndex* pindexSync = mapBlockIndex[hashSyncCheckpoint];
        return (pindexSync->GetBlockTime() + nSeconds < GetAdjustedTime());
    }

What's the point of that checkpoint age test? Wouldn't the blocks eventually get old requiring an update to the hard coded checkpoint list?

I read in the yacoin thread that you can't mine with encrypted wallets. Not sure if this is true using minerd.

OK, thanks. Searched for that but didn't find it. The diff was getting too high anyways.

Any idea why the Yacoin client would stop mining. Only thing that changed would be I encrypted the wallet, does that impact the client's ability to mine?


Code:
12:16:37 getgenerate
12:16:37 true
12:16:41 getmininginfo
12:16:41

Just to be clear - I was not thinking of a paper wallet as in made out of paper. I was thinking that he should engrave the code to metal or glass instead of having it on paper. Wink

Unless you have a machine to do that yourself, you have to give the keys to someone to engrave. If they know what the codes mean, you just gave them your wallet.

Be careful about scam pools charging high fees. For example, the CNC P2Pool that CareBear is pushing is charging a 100% fee. You can see that by adding /fee to the URL:
http://192.162.112.138:8109/fee
100.0

By comparison, and not to endorse, p2pool.org's CNC pool is 2%:
http://p2pool.org:9388/fee
2.0

The trouble with digital media is it goes bad. Encrypt the wallet and makes lots of copies.

A paper wallet (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Paper_wallet) is risky unless you have something secure like a safe deposit box pre-paid for 10 years at a secure bank (uh...).
