YACoin Resurrection – Heliopolis

YACoin now has a 'YASwaps'... and a marketplace!

Check out http://explore.yacoin.org/wallet_download. Download the wallet and follow the instructions. Once your wallet is setup, you will be able to swap YACoin for Bitcoin or vice versa.

There are currently two liquidity providers. If you are interested in becoming a liquidity provider yourself, please reach out to me in a private message.

YACoin Resurrection – Heliopolis

YACoin is moving up! It now has NFTs!

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTng9sJqspRNoG5hVyd9RhKvsAsNf8scopK1CGpA2eAqh

The first 10 people to reply or PM me with their YACoin address will get 21 of the genesis YACoin NFT. Only 2100 exist, and they are NOT reissuable. These are main assets or newly dubbed 'YA-tokens'



You can view the details in the yacoind terminal:
./yacoind listtokens "*" true
        "BRINGBACKTHEYAK" : {
        "name" : "BRINGBACKTHEYAK",
        "token_type" : "YA-token",
        "amount" : "2100.00",
        "units" : 2,
        "reissuable" : 0,
        "has_ipfs" : 1,
        "block_height" : 1911481,
        "blockhash" : "00000bfd8796fd3cfbdd19bd5901ebeb0666548c95e70d180ac69e1b78af3e82",
        "ipfs_hash" : "QmTng9sJqspRNoG5hVyd9RhKvsAsNf8scopK1CGpA2eAqh"

You can also view the timelocked coins required to create the token: http://explore.yacoin.org/timelock

YACoin is/will come back!

YACoin is undergoing Yet Another Fork. It's a soft fork, so old nodes are still compatible, but it is highly recommended to upgrade ASAP.

The main upgrade is the addition of YA-tokens. YACoin will now support the creation of tokens built on top of the network with integration into IPFS as well for NFTs.

Also, the first epoch change is fast approaching! 100 blocks to go! It will be the first epoch change since the hard fork a long time ago.

I'll try to keep updates here and in other outlets more frequent. Meanwhile, the best way communicate with questions or general discussion is the discord channel: Discord Channel Link:

YACoin Resurrection Hard Fork – Heliopolis

Here is a new YASwap Wallet. Improvements in both backend function and UI:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkJy6OysTRxnngvJgnkKy5TtAdl6?e=tSovSD

Great things are happening with YACoin

YACoin Resurrection Hard Fork – Heliopolis

With the Ethereum 'Merge' approaching, it's a good time to announce yet another milestone in the YACoin Heliopolis release. YACoin finally has an exchange!

As of now, a true atomic swap can occur between YACoin--Bitcoin, YACoin--Ethereum, YACoin--USDT(any Ethereum token)

It will be available on the chrome store very soon. Until then, here is the link with instructions

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkJy6OysTRxnnVuVzoTlxY0ugSmB?e=rV9JmM

Instructions:
1) Unzip Yaswap_wallet_6Sept
2) In the Chrome Browser, go to Settings>>Extensions
3) Enable Developer Mode (toggle in upper right corner)
4) Click load unpacked (upper left corner). Select folder "Yaswap wallet" that you unzipped (the whole folder)
5) Select the 'puzzle' icon in the upper right of the chrome browser to access the extension "YASwap." Follow instructions to obtain your seeds words and create a password.

YASwap is a fork of liqualilty with some improvements and rebranding. What is great is that it is open source. Anyone can run their own YASwap platform:
https://github.com/yaswap

Even more to come...

Thank you for pointing it out aso118b.

In order to fully support atomic swaps, a non-hard fork upgrade is required. You may call it a soft-soft fork. The purpose is to allow what is considered a non-standard transaction from the PoV of the old nodes: Hash Time Lock Contract (HTLC).

No OP_Codes were added. I think there can be a lot of discussion on the different 'flavors' of forks--both hard fork and soft fork.

So ABSOLUTELY update your node to the latest release (1.1.0). That way all the nodes can support the newest feature. Also, make sure to include the updated node list in your yacoin.conf file.

With the said, the vast majority of nodes, and mining nodes have already been updated.

Also, I believe that YACoin is now the only other PoW coin besides Ethereum to have the ability to do a direct atomic swap with Bitcoin.

It appears there was a new wallet (v1.1) released today.

https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/tag/v1.1.0

Updated Node List:

addnode=98.251.95.243
addnode=99.108.237.173
addnode=69.126.228.26
addnode=45.30.45.121

Where to download bootstrap up to 2018 year?

YACoin Resurrection Hard Fork – Heliopolis

It has now been 400 blocks since the successful hard fork. Safe to say Heliopolis executed beautifully!

Here is a link to an updated bootset to avoid downloading the entire chain from scratch:

More upgrades to come in terms of the core wallet, but the hard fork is complete. Join the discord for ideas and discussion on how to move YACoin forward: https://discord.gg/t3NUFerXvq

Sorry, my fault. The explorer has not been updated yet. I just randomly learned about the hard fork.

Looks like hardfork failed, no blocks 2 days. No one can find block with N=21 or error in wallet code.

UPD. A few blocks found after hardfork.
Explorer1, old version  http://explore.grokonet.com/
Explorer2, new version  http://explorer.yacoin.org/

YACoin Resurrection Hard Fork – Heliopolis

Slowly, but surely, the Heliopolis Hard Fork approaches. Nearly 1300 blocks to go now at this point!

It is best to ignore those who clearly have an agenda. The agenda is nebulous, but it is certainly NOT to help the value of the coin grow and to help current/future stakeholders.

Bitcointalk is not what it used to be. We will eventually move to a self-moderated thread after the hard fork. We can continue to use this thread for announcements only. IF you are interested in starting a respectful conversation, please join the discord server: https://discord.gg/vvPz9ks

Again, YACoin is an open, opensource cryptocurrency and has been since 2013. The Heliopolis hard fork in an upgrade to the current YACoin network. It is not, for example, a new coin that is cloned from Bitcoin or Litecoin and then airdropped on a UTXO set. I feel obligated to say DO NOT LISTEN to anyone trying to push some idea, especially without recognizing the great improvements and incredible hard work, sacrifice. It's all noise and very, very little signal.

There will be MANY people rooting for the failure of YACoin. At the moment though, it is really a DEAD coin. Hence, the RESURRECTION! YoBit has it listed but withdrawals and deposits are PERMANENTLY disabled. It is a complete scam exchange. Do NOT EVER use it.

One way to help is to run a node. It may not make sense to set "gen=1" if you have a CPU lower-end than an i3. But if you have an i7 or a newer Ryzen, the hashrate numbers look good. At NFactor 21, we see an even smaller advantage for GPUs over CPUs. ccminer works at the moment at least for older NVidia cards. If you want help, the discord channel will be the best place to go.

Faster sync times is in the works. Downloading from the mega link is a quick workaround at the moment. Anyone should be able to compile on their own machine (Windows, Linux, MacOS) as clean as possible. That's another area A LOT of improvements have been (and will continue to be) made.

The goal is to have a very open and inclusive community--for lack of a better term. There will be countless features and supporting features that others can implement for the betterment of the entire ecosystem. I'd say the success of YACoin 1.0 relies on that type of culture.

Uncannily accurate!

I've accepted a position at Greenpeace and may not have internet access to check this silly forum for some time, but I would like to contribute the following ideas to your coin if I may.

1) I propose that it is called 0day. Not because of any intentional unknown exploits that you should, of course add to it, but because that's exactly how long anyone will be able to run the client.  <---[cheeze]

2) It should use scrypt-jane like Yacoin, but start at Nf30.

3) Obviously use GetPowHash for generalized hashing, except for validating PoW, which should use MD5. 

For the record, I did pump Yacoin for April Fools’ Day as I said I would:


Now, today in the Yacoin Horror Show:


Forking hell.  RealBeave162🧟 does not know what “consensus” means, in the context of Byzantine fault-tolerant distributed systems architecture.  I recently wrote a post about exactly this issue, and have been planning a whole thread about it.


Someone who is ignorant of the precise meaning of the word “consensus” in the context of distributed consensus protocols should not be involved in the development of cryptocurrencies.


That’s the spirit, Joe_Bauers_👻!  No pain!  NO PAIN!  (Well—maybe a little a lot of pain.)  I infer that this must be your experience as a Yacoiner:


Perhaps this may comfort you:  Yacoin has inspired me!  As an expert in pessimization, I want to create a coin that is even worse:  Slower, more wasteful of resources, and not merely impractical, but humanly impossible to use.  I have some great ideas for this.  If you want to be a bagholder for a coin even worse than Yacoin, then I will be happy to prey on your financial masochism!  Seriously, I am assembling a team of world-class pessimization experts for this.

"Yacoin Unbroken" sounds like a script that someone should pitch to Stallone for his next movie TBH.

This thread has become useful finally    Tarz, I nominate ~YOU~ to take over the role of YacoinOverlord. Is that OK?

After taking a nice little respite from this silly place, I returned to these PM's

Sure.


Forget Windmaster, I am wondering if Mark Hamill would please join this site and read your PM's for all of us in the voice of Joker.

u hear that, Joe_Bauers?  Tarz 🕵 is watching u!


Joe_Bauers_👻, ur in trubble!  RIP 🪦

---

I dunno.  Maybe he meant that it is a catastrophically bad shitcoin, so bad that its value is NaN.  If you could sell it for zero, then that would be an improvement!  But there must be two sides to every trade; and someone who wants to buy for zero needs to be able to run a node, or use an exchange that runs a node... whoopsie.

Eh, I can’t put words in his mouth.  That is what I mean:  Yacoin is so bad that it has the value of being literally ridiculous:  Oh so fun to ridicule.  Poor Bauers_👻 is probably more frustrated.  My sympathies.  😏

By the way, I have a technical question about Yacoin:  What is the address format?

I have a reason for asking:  I want to generate an address for Yacoin, for I intend to pump it.  🚀  Why?  For the lulz—because April Fools’ Day starts in two hours (UTC/anonymous timezone), and Yacoin is literally ridiculous.  And above, I sort of lied:  To receive Yacoin, of course, I don’t need to connect to the Yacoin network in any way!  To dump it, that would be necessary...

So, what is the technical specification for a Yacoin address?  I am a crypto expert; I know what I am doing.  If a Yacoin address is like a Bitcoin P2PKH address, then I simply need to know the version byte, and whether I can use compressed public keys.  (Did Bitcoin v0.8.6 do compressed public keys yet?  )  Also, I ask the version byte for a WIF, and whether there is a customary BIP 32 derivation path for Yacoin.

Let’s get old Nully here set up with a Yacoin address, ’coz I wanna go TO THE MOON.

thx 😼

Bauers is onto something here. What do u think he meant by insinuating "stop pretending u care and turn over the coin to someone else who does", and he made a laborious effort to repeat this, he literally said, hey, give up the project. Bauers is a two faced salamander, he is a glib mouth of this fancy contemporary tradition to use guile and whatnot to ascend to power. He wants the coin. He got an agenda. I am watching u, Joe_Bauers.
