I stopped paying attention to the forums because I was busy at work. The masses are making coins like crazy. Five new coins I've noticed, all of them seem pretty much the same as all other coins. A couple have already been crushed by 51% attack. I was all about competition to Bitcoin, but this has gotten out of hand. There are new coins every day now. I'm starting to lose interest because it's too hard to keep up. If anyone is interested here are all the new coin posts with their wallet files and pool information

Bitcoin Mining Log # 28 - Warning! YaCoin (YAC) and VirCurEx woes.
Everyone reading this please be warned. YaCoin is blowing up on the forums as a backdoor trojan. I scanned the client when I first downloaded it, and it was fine. I haven't opened the file since. People are reporting that new wallet files for YAC are infected. DO NO RUN THE YACOIN WALLET FILE. More than 250 BTC have been stolen. I deleted the crap out of the client and you should too if you have it. All of my wallets are encrypted and I hope everyone has done the same. None of my coins are missing. Although...
Vircurex.com is down this weekend because of possible hack/server problems. I don't have anything too valuable on there, but don't be surprised if all coins are gone. In previous posts I've warned about saving coins on public servers... The only safe place for coins are on an encrypted wallet on one's own computer. Vircurex has gone down many times in the past because of hacking and server problems, please don't panic. I've never lost any coins from them. The only thing that I had on there was some Devcoin, IXcoin, and Freidcoin. Post a comment if you have you have been scammed by YaCoin or have missing coins from your addresses on Vircurex, I'm interested to know.
Please take this time to encrypt all your wallets and back them up off of your main computer (Google Drive/USB Drive).
I hope no one was scammed bad by YaCoin or effected by the Vircurex down time.

3D Printed Guns - Ultimate use of the 1st & 2nd Amendment
With the continued interest politicians have in taking away guns from lawful owners, I feel like I need to contribute to protect American citizens. I see it as my right and duty as an American citizen to defend the second amendment by providing this information. I also believe that freedom of information is a right and duty of all American citizens to protect the first amendment. Don't let anyone tell you that information is illegal. The information that anyone tells you is illegal is most likely just the information that the people in power don't want common citizens to have. Read all information. It is your right as a human being, beyond just an American citizen.
3D printed guns are not new, people have been creating them for years. But a group called http://defcad.org/ created one and publicized it.
Vice, a great alternative news group, did a documentary on this group and 3D weapons.
They had a great show on infowars.com, another great alternative news group.
Unfortunately the government was quick to shut down Defcad...
I would like all to know, I am not distributing anything besides information. These files are available out there on the internet. Download and share these files with knowledge of risk. The internet is still fairly free. Who knows though, the government may shut down the internet and re-starts it with mandatory ID. Every page may soon need government approval in the near future.
Popular media is on the warpath to demonize 3D guns... at the same time demonizing guns in general.
Educate yourselves, don't be Educated by corporate media.

Bitcoin Mining Log # 27 - How to mine RoyalCoin (RYC)
It seems like coins are coming out everyday now. I'm just going to post every time there is a new coin! This is getting crazy to keep track of! I'm having difficulty solo mining...
Info on this coin:
3 min between blocks
Subsidy half every 600,000 blocks
140,000,000 total coins
Retargets once per day (every 480 blocks)
100 coins per block
No premine
Default port is 9556
Default RPC port is 9557
Blocks 0-10 are for testing purposes and worth 0 RYC
Blocks 10-510 blocks worth 500 RYC
Blocks 510-1010 worth 250 RYC
Blocks 1010-2010 worth 125 RYC
Windows binaries: https://sourceforge.net/projects/royalcoin/files/royalcoin-qt.zip/download
Daemon (windows): https://sourceforge.net/projects/royalcoin/files/royalcoind.zip/download
Source: https://sourceforge.net/projects/royalcoin/files/royalcoin-source.zip/download
Website: http://royalcoin.org
How to solo mine:
It's a little tricky, you may need to add this to the .conf file, you may not.
addnode=123.21.255.137
addnode=110.7.27.244
addnode=94.112.205.167
addnode=174.50.248.26
addnode=72.222.208.81
Follow my guide on how to solo mine anything to set up the conf file.
I have been getting weird wallet crashes and error 401 when I try to mine. sometimes the miner will work without the addnodes, sometimes it won't. My wallet is constantly re-downloading the blocks too... without touching the block.dat files. Reaper works, then dies. CGMiner works, then dies. Pump and dump? Broken coin? Worthless coin? You make the decision.

Bitcoin Mining Log # 26 - How to mine YaCoin (YAC)
A new altcoin was released yesterday. I have not been impressed with the last 2 coins that were released (CHNCoin and JunkCoin).
Here are the stats:
Block each: 60 seconds.
Block reward: 100 coins and depends on difficulty.
Hash: scrypt(N, 1, 1) + chacha instaed of salsa and keccak512 instead of sha256 (scrypt-jane implementation).
N depends on: block.nTime and increases. Starting value is 32 (4 Kbs).
Port: 7688
This coin is really interesting. You don't have to do anything to mine it at all. It is fully automated through the client. As long as you start the client correctly and you leave the client open, it will use your CPU to mine for YaCoin! Although it is tricky to start this client correctly. Follow these steps.

1. Get the wallet file and download it.
Source : https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin
Windows QT (GUI Wallet) :
https://mega.co.nz/#!UowEmZYS!AAK7DVwYoTqy96oTRzUaLCS0UMsAfosJiRQmBn1jzcA
2. Create a text file with notepad.
https://mega.co.nz/#!UowEmZYS!AAK7DVwYoTqy96oTRzUaLCS0UMsAfosJiRQmBn1jzcA
2. Create a text file with notepad.
Create it in the same folder as your wallet files. Name it start.txt or something. Open the text file and copy this into it. Replace "Your local IP" with... your local IP addess.
yacoin-qt.exe -server -gen -addnode=82.211.30.212 -addnode=76.115.8.101 -addnode="Your Local IP" -addnode=54.217.249.235 -addnode=54.217.249.230 -addnode=54.217.249.229 -addnode=54.217.249.139
Save the file, then close it. Click on the file and change it to start.bat and hit enter.
3. Run the start.bat
This will open the wallet file and configure it to mine correctly. You can close the Command box that opens.
4. Find out if the wallet file is mining
- Go to Help
- Click Debug Window
- Click the Console Tab
- Type gethashespersec
This will tell you how many hashes per second your CPU is mining!
---------------------------------------
(Optional/Problems) Control CPU usage: ( Add this to the command line above )
-genproclimit=1
How to compile on linux with git source: (Command line only)
cd ~/ ; git clone https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin.git ; cd ~/yacoin/src ; make -j4 -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- ; mv yacoind ~/ ; rm -Rf ~/yacoin ; mkdir ~/.yacoin ; cd ~/
