New win binaries available (this time with UPNP support) at https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwa2lymjl6igh6q/yacoin-cc-latest.zip
It's a a snapshot of Joe's git master branch, along with my coin control changes and whatnot. It merged without issues, so hopefully it'll work.
Took me more than 5 hours, got a terrible headache from that windoze crap Undecided
Also, I've made a compiling write-up for wannabe builders, available here: https://github.com/saironiq/yacoin-cc/blob/master/WIN_BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.txt
Here's hoping I won't accidentaly delete the build VM again...

New Windows binaries are also available for testing https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/tag/testing_0.4.1-b . This is the version with coin-control, the new logos and numerous other enhancements. Please try it out, and if no issues (note, this will still take a VERY LONG TIME to open - maybe click yacoin-qt.exe and watch LOTRTROTK  Wink )  I will merge to master in the next few weeks.

P.S. I was hoping to fix the absolutely unacceptable start up time before moving to 0.4.1, but even with LevelDB (next) it still seems to take too long to open, so please bear with the
startup time until we can fix it for 0.4.2.

I finally managed to write some economical thoughts on YAC.

Been away for a while and still holding YAC! Can anyone give me an honest opinion on the future of this coin and how widespread its use currently is?

Thanks

Use is currently not existant, but my full response is at:

Is there a new wallet out that calculates POS in a different manner than the original wallet. I have noticed that in the past, PPCoin and YACoin would generate a POS by splitting the original coinage into two and adding the new coin amount minted in the POS to the two halves. Lately I have noticed that there is a new type of POS minting that does not split the coinage in half, or into two. Where can I get a wallet like that? It would be great cause it would not split up my coins anymore when POS is generated. Thank you all, Love you YAC!!!!
The wallet also joins coins, not only splits them. Wink
Also, splitting is good when you actually want to USE your coins (so you don't waste much coin-age when you have 100k YAC and want to send just 1 YAC somewhere).

My hashrate for YAC has gone from about 7.5kh/s to 1.9kh/s. So, about 25% of the previous rate.

Anyone have an update on what this NFactor change has had on GPU miners?

GPUs are still working but I see like 1/3 of hashing performance. The miners at yacp.coinmine.pl have taken quite a hit, nobody is doing over 1 Kh/s, but I suspect most of them have suboptimal configurations.

If you want to spend some YACs, you should take a look at:

http://yacexplorer.tk/raffle.html

This is a proveably fair lottery with no house edge run by Sairon. At the moment there are just 100tickets (1YAC each) sold, but more than 1000YAC in the pool for the winner. Don't miss this chance to play lotto with an edge for yourself!

Adresses to play (send 1YAC for a ticket)

The pot consists of ticket sales plus donations to
YD8Noesszn4RJdepB6xzVyxMe2htsdTE7J


Drawing will be held every day at midnight UTC.
Don't miss your chance to gamble with an edge and make some YAC!

This is amazing!  I love it!  Smiley

Well, in all fairness, I stepped in to take up development after the "quick buck" phase of YAC was pretty much done.

It seems YACoin has been in good hands with Joe_Bauers and my choice to turn development over to him was probably the best choice for the coin.

-WM

It takes courage to step forward and take over development over an abandoned coin. It's an ungrateful job since somehow people always expect open source deveopers to devote their whole life to software they wouldn't even pay for. No matter how much you could have done alone there would be still people not satisfied and complaining.

I think it takes even more courage to step away once you realized that you couldn't spend the time it would need. A lot of people would rather destroy a project than to admit that they should hand it over to someone else.

My 2 YACs.
