I haven't looked at it yet, but a couple small things I noticed during the build:  in the yacoin-qt.pro file towards the bottom of the file, "novacoin-qt" should be changed to "yacoin-qt".  Also I'd recommend matching the logo and the icon (I know this is just a project-in-work test beta, but I still think Novacoin's icon should be scrapped ASAP in all future yacoin versions).
You can try building my version (however, all the icons are yak Cheesy). https://github.com/saironiq/yacoin-cc

Keep selling, more cheap YAC for me to pick up

No doubt  Cool

I've uploaded an alpha snapshot of what will hopefully be part of the 0.4.1 version of YACoin to:  https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/tag/testing_4.1.0-a
I used the logo that I like in this version, but don't flip out as it is not yet official  Wink

Hello Joe.  I downloaded and complied your 0.4.1.a test version.  Is there an area you are most interested in hearing some test feedback?

I haven't looked at it yet, but a couple small things I noticed during the build:  in the yacoin-qt.pro file towards the bottom of the file, "novacoin-qt" should be changed to "yacoin-qt".  Also I'd recommend matching the logo and the icon (I know this is just a project-in-work test beta, but I still think Novacoin's icon should be scrapped ASAP in all future yacoin versions).

Thanks!

The problem with YAC right now is that you have people 'hoarding' the coin without investing the 'work' required for it to compete with the other alts.  St.Bitt said that YAC will be 'dead' once it reaches below 0.00005 BTC, yet it still has a higher marketcap than any of the clones and is profitable for GPU mining.  It is statements like these from major stakeholders of a coin that should make this drop in price no surprise at all.  YacHoarder on yacointalk claims to have 10% of the yacoin economy, yet he clearly knows nothing of investing or finances.  What we are experiencing is a very healthy correction, and I predict it will go even lower in price before it gets better.  I know I am being an a-hole, but there needs to be a cleansing of the malinvestment before this coin can recover.

I never seen transactions become combined in a POS.   Is this due to the new wallet / upgrades to the yac source code?  Will it continue to happen?  Or will transactions continue to split into, two, smaller transactions?

This was the 'upgrade'  I was asking about.... but it looks like it is already happening!  Smiley
No, this is not due to the new wallet. Small inputs from the same address are supposed to be combined until they reach certain threshold. In fact, I already posted about this a few days ago, see this post for more info: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2978359

I'm using the 'test' wallet with cc.   And I had my first POS that split into thirds!   Any idea why this might have happened?

http://yacexplorer.tk/tx/5c464c19df4f3607f178177bcec83e6e3d8095dde621661c7e360812aa920cc0#o1

Any news on upgrading the wallet to allow for multiple (small) transactions to be included in a single transaction?  My wallet is full of 5-100 yac transactions.  Most of them take longer then 30 days until they have enough 'coin-days' to mint.
Umm, no. That PoS block did not *split* it into thirds, on the contrary, it took three ~5 YAC inputs and *combined* them into ~15 YAC output with the PoS reward included.

As for the feature you're asking about... If I understand you correctly, you can do this by clicking "Add recipient" in the "Send coins" dialog.

EDIT: WTF, someone just dumped 80k @0.00004900 on BTER and 100k on Cryptsy... -.-"

You are correct - I misread the transaction in haste.  (Sorry!!!)

Sairon, any way you could send just the coin control features to testing? If so, I will merge it there, and maybe some other folks can give it a look. 
Done.

Thanks! For everyone that can, please test the coin control features in the testing branch of YAC.

https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/tag/YAC-cc-testing

I may get some binaries up there, but in the meantime, you'll need to compile Wink

By the way, what about my bounty? Only Beave162 sent me his so far. Tongue
Don't worry, I didn't forget about my 5kYAC plege ...

As long as it isn't pulled by Joe_Bauers or someone else with programming background has checked the source for possible bugs it isn't completly finished. Critical Bugs like the one that destroyed the change if you didn't use a custom change adress shouldn't have been in the published exe the first place. If such review isn't possible untill an acceptable period of time I'll use it for a review. Having said that I really doubt you won't get it soon.

Yeah, I'm sorry for that bug. Luckily I discovered it fairly quickly after release, so no one else's YACs were lost.
There aren't too many changes compared to Bitcoin's version of Coin Control, so it shouldn't be THAT hard to conduct a code review (that is, if you trust Cozz and the Bitcoin devs Cheesy). Also, I believe there aren't any other money-destroying bugs in the code (as the only significant money-manipulating code that I changed was that with change addresses).
That being said, there's no rush. Just wanted to make sure you've not forgotten. Smiley

The code looks good and I haven't been able to break anything else in testing (which I'm very good at doing). Still, as we saw with the previous bug, it's better to be sure than not  Wink

To that end, I've cleaned things up in the repository. YACoin now has two branches: stable and testing. I might add version  tags at some point as well, but currently it isn't needed.

Have you found something about the other big bounty on CC4YAC yet? As far as I can recall it was in the sizearea of Beave162s...

I've already recieved the 25k YAC he pledged, see my previous post:

Someone who can get us on this list? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/alt-coin-stores-and-services-list-273148
Maybe Bitcoin Megastore can start accepting YAC? Wink
Ill accept YAC on Coincable.com if some one helps me out with coding it
Looks like you're using wordpress, so maybe try https://coinpayments.net/ (but first they have to add support for YAC).
Try posting in this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coinpaymentsnet-unbiased-unified-money-solution-multi-payment-procesing-276455 or sending them a PM/e-mail.

Come on sairon, cycloid.  I posted in that thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coinpaymentsnet-unbiased-unified-money-solution-multi-payment-procesing-276455 ... I think just the 3 of us posting would do the trick.  If you have stake in YACoin, we are in competition with the other currencies! Smiley


Thats beautiful, thank you!

YAC mining even selling at .0001 BTC/YAC is at least 350% more profitable than mining BTC by my approximation.  Did a day mining feathercoin and compared how many FC I got to how many YAC I get in a day.. plus, looked at last BTC mining numbers from a month ago... 3x what it was a month ago.  YAC isn't dead or dying, the price is just adjusting to be in line with everything else.

True that. YACoin was by far the most profitable coin to mine for almost 4 months. Even now mining profitability vs BTC is quite high.
That depends on your set up. For a 7950, you can currently get 36 kh/s, that's less profitable than LTC. Probably beats BTC though.

I would be curious to know how you came up with that?  My 7850 can only muster 13KH/sec YAC, but does 380 KH/sec on scrypt, yet between my three varied cards, I was earning 260 YAC/day, but only 12-14 FTC day with the same setup (which shows slightly higher value on coinchoose.com).  Obviously, luck factors in a lot more in a single 24 hour period with FTC than YAC, but based solely on hash rate, I calculated out about 21 FTC/day with 1 MH at the current network hash rate.
Haven't done the calculation in a while, would be nice to see how they compare currently. I'll compare profitability of mining YAC vs LTC on a 7950 with current prices/difficulty.

The magic value is 65546. It takes 65546 hashes to find a share of difficulty 1 (and therefore 65546*32 hashes to find a share of diff 32). Also cgminer reports the network difficulty as difficulty*65546.

LTC mining on a 7950 - Difficulty: 969 - Block Reward: 50 - Value: 0.02088 BTC/LTC

650 KH/s/(65.546 kH/share) = 9.92 shares/s (of difficulty 1)
blocks/s = (shares/s)/(difficulty*65546)
blocks/s = 9.92 shares/s/(969*65546)
= 1.56*10^-7 blocks/s = 0.01349 blocks/day
(0.01349 blocks/day)*(50 LTC/block) = 0.6747 LTC/day
= 0.0141 BTC/day

YAC mining on a 7950 - Difficulty: 0.109 - Block Reward: 36.12 - Value: 0.00008011 BTC/YAC

36 kH/s = 0.549 shares/s = 6.642 blocks/day = 239.9 YAC/day
= 0.01921 BTC/day

Well isn't that interesting, YAC wins. Redirecting the horses...



That would be 65536.
