Hello!
Is there any detailed guide for installing Yacoin wallet on Ubuntu 16.04. I have tried "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yacoin/yacoin" and then "sudo apt-get update" but what then? How can I run it?
Sorry for noob question but Yacoin files differ from usual core  wallet files as dogecoin-qt for example just to run in terminal ./dogecoin-qt

In two days, YACoin will be the only Scrypt-ChaCha Coin at Nfactor 19. ZCCoin has a scheduled fork, which will revert and keep the NFactor at 17. ZCCoin has nearly 10 times the hashrate of YACoin currently.

Only youbit a trading platform can buy it? I do not have a registration there, 2018 will be the new trading platform? , Landing the new platform allows more people to know YACoin

I've been waiting for my old 0.4.4 (linux) wallet to sync for the last 48 hours. Is there some reason it won't eventually get there?
Also I wouldn't mind trying to compile the 0.4.5 version if there is a linux version. I couldn't make sense of old c coder's posts, but I'd put in a few hours, maybe provide feedback.


Compile from 0.4.5 from https://github.com/senadj/yacoin. The 'official' YACoin repo will be updated soon.
Bombs out with:
Code:
usr/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hp:50: Parse error at "BOOST_JOIN"
Makefile:671: recipe for target 'build/rpcconsole.moc' failed
make: *** [build/rpcconsole.moc] Error 1

This with qmake (qt4), gcc 4.8.53, boost 1.61.

There is unprecedented growth of interest in crypto. As more people enter the space, more and more people are looking for a coin they can actually mine without spending $ thousands on a loud ASIC or thousands on a GPU rig that gives off a ton of heat.

Despite worries of botnets, Intel i7s and AMD Ryzens are very profitable to mine on multiple coins. I guess the botnets can't keep up! This means a coin like YACoin is very appealing as it is one of the most profitable coins to mine with a CPU.

It's important to keep things in perspective. YACoin has survived a lot in terms of all kinds of attacks. It is looking very good relative to the 'nearby' competition. Great things are in store for YACoin. Almost every person who asks me about Bitcoin also asks about alternatives to Bitcoin. Many of those also ask me about coins to mine.

I think it's time for the dev and community behind Yacoin to launch yet another coin...

this time based on the cuckoo cycle:

So how do I go about selling my 50k yac? I can't find it trading anywhere, no idea the price etc. Its been a few years Smiley. Is it worth digging out the old hard drive?

I know it's silly, but YACoin has the highest market cap since march 2014.

Maybe we should grab the old 0.4.4 wallet and rebrand it as Bitcoin Something, it's the fad these days.

A couple serious thoughts:

1) Even "dead" coins aren't bad investments compared to government fiat! The entire ecosystem is on a big uptrend now.

2) Even now, YAC is benefiting from a reasonable issuance model from an economic perspective. Many coins heavily favor early stakeholders to an unnecessarily large degree. YAC is still profitable to mine with many CPUs, and at <10% annualized inflation rate currently, there is never really a bad time for an investor to take a long position.

YAC is heavily influenced by the market activity. ZCCoin, which is the other scrypt-chacha coin at NFactor 19. I'm optimistic YAC will surpass it in the near future.

Hello all,

Circumstances conspire sometimes in fortuitous ways.  See
http://cbt.lostabout.com which I just built.  It is an attempt to fill the void left by the closing of
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.22340996 which was the old
Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows forum here on bitcointalk.org

It was closed I think in error, but that is for another place and time.  I will be 'holding forth' every 3rd Tuesday of the month with a meeting.  And I hope to make it virtual, live, and open.  The meeting spot came upon me coincidentally with the closing of the above forum, and so 'CBT' was born.  Let me know what you think?  I hope my first 'meeting' will go well?

BTW, there is good YAC code coming for all to use, it is just that when you think you've got all the bugs, you test it and a few more pop up.  Nothing major now, but as they say, 'we're close' Smiley

If you've been been running your YAC nodes, and you look at 'getpeerinfo' from time to time,  you should be seeing nodes with:
Code:
"subver" : "/Yacoin-WM:0.7.5/",
not 0.7.3,  that/those are nodes running the new s/w.  So there is hope...

Any GPU miner crash after start with nFactor 19. Last fully stable is 15.

You seem to be right- at least for current nFactor:
I mostly get Hardware Errors on my GPUs. Rarely there is a accepted share, but with hashrates of 3Hash/s (on R7 240 4GB GPU), which equates performance of one modern CPU core.

Would it be possible to modify OpenCL code so that it would verify block hashes in parallel?
I presume if a GPU has 6 compute units and 2GB of memory it should be possible to do at least 6 parallel scrypt-jane block hashes (while one hash consumes 128MB of memory). The goal would be to offload CPU with chain validation.
I tried to dig into it, but it's a big bite for me.
