Unfortunately I'm going to have surgery on the 15th so I won't be physically available to mine it! 
Coincidentally I'll also be going to the hospital on the 15th at 4pm... I doubt I'll be out in time for this either. Poo.

Actually making an honest announcement about a delay: got my respect.

OP is one of the few persons who actually learned from the bullshit of the past few weeks and put it into practice. Good Job!

If anyone is taking pre-orders, PM me. That way we can guarantee you a rate. If you are a trusted member, I can pay before the coin is even released.

I feel like I might buy a mining rig just for May 15th..
Can you buy a PC with GPU's strong enough to mine from the get go? And in such a case.. could you buy a computer from Best Buy and "rent" it for the week? lol

Will the release be in an hour? I'm not sure if I understood GMT correctly 
It was going to be in 2 hours, but I have postponed release for 1 week. I will update the description to reflect this change and the reasoning why.
oh

Gutted but I'm glad you are taking the time to get it right, so bravo
I appreciate your support! Thank you!
Excellent, is this going to be the first coin having and exchange at the first day? How about pools then?
As mentioned earlier there will be a pool on the site at http://crypto-etc.com
But I also suspect that there will be one or two p2pool gurus who will have pools set-up within the first or two after launch (that's the way it usually goes)...
when you release.. will you please release the windows binaries at the same time, so we can all get a "fair" chance <3
I will indeed. At the time of release there will be linux and windows binaries as well as the source code so people can compile their own as well.
Wise move, well done!

This is the first time I have really an impression that the OP is doing a proper work...

Instead of time based retarget, why not make it dynamic diff retarget like BitBar - that seems to work a lot better at stopping pump and dump miners.
I prefer the time-based re-targeting as it makes the coin more reliable as a currency. If I run with a dynamic re-targeting system confirmation times for transactions wouldn't be as reliable making it not a viable currency to use for goods/services which are extremely time-dependent.
Great news actually!
I was really early in mining YaCoin today. Had 3 machines with 550 KH\s each running, but none of them got more than 1-2 accepted blocks because of some higher hashrate miners joining the network and blocking all low-medium hash miners.. So I hope you can find a solution which works for us low hashers aswell!
Good luck!

also yac was launched today...
LOL
I guess you have a special miner for gpus...

Actually, I don't think there are any gpu miners for YAC yet (unless YAC's creator wrote one that he has not released to the public yet).
The large hashrate miners on YAC right now are probably botnet owners...

I want to apologize to everyone, but I am going to postpone launch for exactly 1 week (May 15 @ 6pm GMT).
The reason for doing this is I am currently working on my previously mentioned idea of attempting to limit blocks which can be submitted during a specified timeframe at a specified difficulty in relation to total network hashrate (this should not only prevent large hashrate miners from raping the coin, but will also help to protect the network from 51% attack by preventing the user from being able to gain 51% control).
Lower hashrate miners should not be affected (other than the ability to be able to actually obtain coins) while higher hashrate miners will only be affected while the difficulty is lower and the network hashrate is smaller. I expect as the difficulty/network hashrate increases that cpu-based miners will probably stray away anyway to whatever is the newest low-difficulty coin at that time.
I am also taking this extra week to finish developing http://crypto-etc.com which is where I will host the exchange, pool and forum. This is also where the client downloads will be hosted (except for the source code which will remain on my github).
And the final reason for postponing this one more week is to add/test more features which I am adding, including:
I am also open to suggestions on other features.
I thank you for your patience and once again I apologize for the inconvenience to those of you who have been watching/waiting for 6pm to roll around, but I promise it will be the worth the wait.

•difficulty re-target: once every ~30 minutes
