Looks great!
Can you send me a little bit more high-res version? I will add it somewhere to http://yenten.isg.is

I've updated yenten.isg.is with the link to https://yenten.luckypool.org/Yenten-Qt.dmg. Copied the textual parts about GPU and ASIC resistance of the YescryptR16 spec to the whitepaper and added the link to https://github.com/bsdphk/PHC/blob/master/Yescrypt/yescrypt-phc.pdf to the whitepaper

You are right, Yenten needs a more sexy slogan, 'honest coin' is true but boring. Suggestions are welcome of course!
Or maybe just plain: 'A cryptocurrency for everybody, minable by the CPU'

I read a few comments regarding the joking nature of the original Yenten site. I took some time to create a more normal looking Yenten info page, even including a 'whitepaper'! You can find it here: http://yenten.isg.is

 

There is a very short instruction for OS X of how to install on your mac in the Yenten OS X zip file.

Then when yentend is running you can use yenten-cli by executing yenten-cli from the OS X terminal.

For example if you want to generate an address: This generates a Yenten address for you linked to an account named 'yentenaccount'
Copy/paste the account name and address somewhere for reference purposes.

To check if all works well you can try one of the faucets and let a faucet send some Yenten to your newly created Yenten address.

Then check your balance with:


If your balance stays at zero for a long time, this is possible because it can take hours for the blockchain on your mac to be fully synchronized if you run yentend for the first time.

Before shutting down your mac, don't forget to do this shuts down the yentend nicely instead of just killing it.

Then when you want to use the yenten command line wallet again, don't forget to start yentend first with for example this command
If you want to know what all those yenten-cli command options are, take a look at this wiki: it's for bitcoin, but it's mostly the same for Yenten: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list

This is quite an old article, but still gives an impression of the fact that yescript and yescript variants won't perform well on a GPU.

If anybody wants to mine Yenten on MacOS / OS X, and you're having difficulties running or compiling minderd or cpuminer-opt, its possible to use Docker (its an application container platform) to run a miner on MacOS without having to compile anything at all:

Just download Docker CE from https://www.docker.com/community-edition and get it running on your mac.
Then run in the terminal


In this example I use bluepool, but of course you can replace it with any pool you like.
