I can understand your frustration with the new logo, but there will be always someone frustrated with a decision made. Arguing about the method the vote was conducted is fine, but results must be out of debate or we won't be able to make decisions at all.
You wouldn't accept a new vote when your logo would have won, but the majority that botherd to vote sould have to accept it? What if you won't win the next vote, how often should we have to vote on this? Untill you win?

For the code stuff the public opinion is that Joe should handle it, on the logo it clearly isn't than you should! It was him btw who decided that we vote on the logo. You don't accept Joe`s decision to vote and the decision of everyone voted for, it seems the only thing you accept is what you want yourself. Grow up.

I hope a lot of people see now why my previous points on finding a good way to vote are important. Only transparent votingresults can end a discusion like this and let us move on. Voting on bitcointalk is a very bad way to vote, so please support my efforts to get to a better voting mechanism:

All you have to do is sign a message and you even get some free coins for your efforts. The transactions will be conservated into the blockchain and once we have a list of adresses/names we can find a good way to make votes count. I'd go for send a coin to a votingadress and a script that filters out double votes, but that hasen't be decidet yet. It could be 1vote/acc or valuing people different,etc ... It doesn't matter unless it's previously agreed on and results are final.

Maby we even revote on the damm logo with this, but only if we get enough people to register their adress.

You can mint as much PoS blocks as you have PoS-eligible inputs - and that takes time. A lot of time. (Also, I've got a feeling that PoS diff is static.)

it just looks like yet another bullshit coin logo. I like the Yak because it is different and etablished since a while. I can understand people liking the hexagonal logos, because they are also different than standard junk logos and you can recognise it quickly. But think about he new logo: When someone uses this logo in a shop that accepts lots of different coins, lots of s people will miss the YACoin Logo because it looks like every other coin. People will end up paying with bitcon, litecoin or whatever just because they didnt see that also YACoin is accepted. IMHO it is just dumb and doing no good to YACoin when this logo is used (especially if main pages like Yacoin.org and Yacointalk.com stick to the old logo).

At first it was entertaining, but now it's just anoying.

Everyone was heard and could post ideas, we decided that we will vote here on the logo and we voted. No further reasoning needed.

I've compiled it, and optimized with native/O3 flags lol (doubt it'll help with PoS)
I'll try copying my .dat, seems simple enough.

Thanks guys!

If you've already compiled YACoin in Ubuntu, then replace the wallet.dat in .yacoin That's a hidden folder, so you will need to show hidden folder in whatever file manager you have.

If you haven't compiled yet, just create a .yacoin folder in home and copy your wallet.dat there. Then compile.  

I would dump the privkey of your YAC adress
and then import it on the new machine
after that yacoin usually crashes (at least it always did when I imported vanitygen adresses), but when you restart yacoin the new adress should be added to it

I thought the small transactions would be worse, since I mined most of the coins, then bought some more.

How can I import my wallet dat? Just copy and place it inside the yacoin folder in my home directory?

You need at least 10 YAC per address, so this may be required if you have lots of small change on different addresses.

If you send them to a new address, the POS mining date starts over - I would just use the old wallet.

Is it a good idea to send all my coins to a new address to start POS minting?
I switched to Ubuntu now, and I have my old .dat file and also can dual boot win, so I was thinking of doing that.

Think globally. A single client using lots of hashpower to generate PoS blocks with only a few coins in the wallet won't change the difficulty much.
But if you change the official client to speed up PoS minting, then everybody will use the higher hashrate, and then difficulty will rise.


True.

It wouldn't affect PoS diff at all when averaged over a few blocks. It's just a waste of electricity if you have your client running 24/7 anyways (but can actually save electricity when you launch your pc for just a few minutes to get your PoS rewards).

That's right.

Unfortunately not, but absolutely for 0.4.2 

Great. Any chance the DB update will make it aswell?

I think "coinage" is capped at 3 months. So, 10-month-old coins are just like 3-months-old. Waiting a year or two before starting up the client again will be missing the chance for some of the interest that could be generated.

Beyond that, much of POS are still quite mysterious to me.

I see your edit so it looks like you've found them, but for everyone that isn't aware, all of the new images and logos are here:
https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/tag/testing_0.4.1-b   Also, the 256x256 is yacoin.png 

This is a testing release that contains coin control, the icons and images, and many other updates and will likely be the next stable release soon. So, test it out if able. 

No! That's totally against the whole point of PoS minting.

Besides, it wouldn't change anything in the long run, because an increase in PoS computing power would eventually lead to a higher PoS difficulty.

Once coins make it to 30 days a PoS block being made within 24 hours would be ideal IMO. My client took like 4-5 days to get one. =/

So speeding up the PoS minting and SHOWING via the CPU usage it's actually doing something would be good IMO..
