On a side note, to all of the exciting software updates, it looks like someone put together a nice YACoin wikipedia page.  As of last week we still didn't have one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacoin

It a good overview;  I'll try to add more detail to it this afternoon.  I thought I would share with it with the rest of you in case if anyone else wanted to add anything.  Smiley

Awesome!  That's one if the things I was going to get done with the promotion fund, so if anyone can take credit for this, I will send you some YAC's.  
As I said on yacointalk, without media coverage and some "references"* this is wasted effords.
Untill we haven't a few articles on mainstream media we have better things to focus on. If someone really wants to write a wikipedia article go to yacoinwiki.tk

*by their standard hard to reach

Agreed, we definitely need to get a mainstream media presence, but social media is just as (more?) important. As far as I know, YAC still doesn't have a Facebook page  Undecided     If we get the word out about YAC to enough of the masses, mainstream media will at best not matter; at worst, approach us.  Word of mouth will always trump spoon fed.   To that end, the best grassroots approach I've seen so far is from indiamikezulu over at yacointalk, and if he has his way, YAC might eventually replace the AUD  Grin

One does not simply mine Bitcoins

I think it's a good time to start being more consistent with each other. I noticed a lot more new people are coming to this forum to look at different cryptocurrencies recently. I wouldn't want to confuse them.

Yup, that's my motivation, too.

I'm sure someone has an SVG version of it. I just uploaded the biggest PNG I found.

Thankfully, you're going to use the official logo. Smiley  Files for the logo are here:

Cool, it would be good to get hold of that and make it widely available.

Updated the logo on my block explorer and also on yacoin wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacoin
Also, windows binaries available with the new logo https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwa2lymjl6igh6q/yacoin-cc-latest.zip

Sites that need to change the logo:
yacoinwiki.tk
yacoin.org

At least let's be consistent.

*grumble* I still like the old logo more.

Nice.. Logo looks a bit low res. Is that the best quality version we have of it?

I saw yacoin got a healthy upturn but because I can't mine yet are there any nice sites or faucets I can earn my first yacoin? I am going to buy some also on crypsy tomorrow too but wanted to earn my first yacoin. Smiley
Yes, there are many ways to get your first YAC:

Buying at excanges: (I think this is the best way)
bter.com
cryptsy.com

Mining:
Simple: A new (not official I think?) version of yacoin-qt that supports single CPU-mining)
Standard mining

If you want to work for it:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gimme-some-yac-300152 (Super Easy,you have to sign a message with your yac-wallet)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-yacoin-promotion-idea-293684 (Rewards for YAC Promotion)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-100-yac-corrupted-yac-wallet-357144 (Hard,helping someone with a corrupted wallet 100YAC)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=311379.20 (Impossible, but as example what can be earned, already done by sairon)
Sairon made some serious YAC by bounties and I'd like to see some competition here.

or one of the many giveaway threads:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336574.0;topicseen
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211053.0;topicseen(not mine, not sure if still working)
there is also one at yacointalk.tk

There are currently no faucets working, but I have planes to lauch on in a few weeks or so.

Cracked it!!! 

I was able to use the stratum version of CPU miner from pooler, and found the optimizations in the scrypt-jane library that mikaelh made, and I fixed the bug that prevented shares from being found and was able to compile them all into a series of x64 binaries for Windows.

These binaries should be as fast as the ones that you've been using, and also support stratum.  I kept the "scrypt-jane" command line option - apparently changing it to "yacoin" just confused people (even though it's, well, wrong).

Please, post any feedback or any problems.  PM me as an option - I've got some free time tonight and tomorrow morning (EST) to work on this.

Hi

It works perfect! So here is the message:

Please use Thirtybird's cpuminer to mine on http://yac.coinmine.pl pool to get 5% less stales

Code:
minerd-avx -a scrypt-jane -q -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -O worker:worker_pass

PS. I will send some donation later

CPU Miner supporting scrypt-chacha on stratum

I was able to use the stratum version of CPU miner from pooler, and found the optimizations in the scrypt-jane library that mikaelh made, and I fixed the bug that prevented shares from being found and was able to compile them all into a series of x64 binaries for Windows.

These binaries should be as fast as the ones that you've been using, and also support stratum.  I kept the "scrypt-jane" command line option - apparently changing it to "yacoin" just confused people (even though it's, well, wrong).

Please, post any feedback or any problems.  PM me as an option.

Latest release will always be here - https://mega.co.nz/#!mwZTnTJD!M6V3Vnmj2Kxz1fhDP8K2LUFXjrtjM-OIcAoJS0S5afw

This was posted in the other thread, but figured it might have been missed. Certainly sounds like something we should be in the running for!

Hello there,

Reddit ALTcointip bot has just announced its 2nd round of signups for a list of supported cryptocurrencies.

Please see the announcement for details. Thanks!

after the client came up I closed it and opened it again.  This time it opened quickly and some coins went to stake properly.  Previously I'd had an orphan stake.  This looks good.
Nice, thanks for the feedback!

I downloaded the new client and ran it using the switch but yacoin still hasn't opened after 15 minutes. Huh
Well, it should take a long time at first, read the note carefully. Wink

Thanks Sairon! I'll try it out now...  Cool

EDIT: wow! 30 sec indeed...downloading blocks now. Thanks man!
Glad it also works for you. Smiley


Tips for me and my friend who helped me write this appreciated! Cheesy
