YAC could be made ultrafast if we go even further and include electrum into yacoin-qt. As long as the bockchain is updated it will be used to send funds and check balances. Without having to wait for the blockchain there is no reason to use something else on computers.

w8, wat? electrum has to use some electrum server which has a full yacoind node with an up-to-date blockchain up and running. only electrum client is fast, the server counterpart needs yacoind AND it has to do some more processing (keeping balance of every yacoin address ever used in a separate database, keeping you recent transaction history, etc...)

Faster means you don't have to wait for blockchain to update when sending funds. This isn't about transaction speed it's about the time it takes you to actually send funds. 1min to get the txt into the chain plus a day to load the blockchain is damm slow. It's just in addition to the current mechanism when that doesn't work yet due to updating.

If I understand you correctly, then this is already possible. You don't have to wait for the client to sync as long as you're spending inputs from the blocks you have in your local blockchain (there's one obvious exception - blockchain forks, but they don't happen that often these days).

EDIT: WTF, someone just crashed the market by dumping over 60k YACs... Huh

now we're at 0.00005 -.-"

No. You would have to wait for the blockchain to update bevor funds are sent. It also sucks if you don't have those funds already and want to check total balance. It also gives a bad impression for first time users of after a long time away. Maybe some one was so pissed about this so he dumpt them all on an exchange ... xD.

Let's just say "coin" is a synonym for "currency" in the crytocurrency world and the name "your alternative currency" is unpacking that part for laymen. Yacoin_XYZ can stay as they are. Wink

I didn't want to spam on the voting thread so I' post this here:

Using word "currency" would mean all occurrences of YACoin would need to be changed to YACurrency, not easy and actualy looks shit.

It is a very poor desicition that hasn't been thought thru.

We would also have to change the domains of the following sites:

yacoin.de
yacoin.org
yacointalk.com EDIT:Wouldn't actually matter, but the abveration still sucks.
github.com/yacoin
...

Since searching for YAC isn't acciociated with Yacoin we wouldn't have a useful abveration. (YACurrency Huh

)
When I'm googling altcoins I have to write them usually XXCoin so I can actually find crypto. I wouldn't know the full name of many other altcoins that are so uncommon like YAC. Standard google response for YAC is Yeast Artificial Chromosome btw.

Awesome thanks! I will be sending some YAC's your way.

Thank you very much.

So do we think an android client is feasible?

Hell yea!

Quote from: aso118 on August 26, 2013, 06:44:43 PM

Do we think we can have it up and running some-what-soon?

I don't know, but I'm supporting it with a 5kYAC bounty.

One of the strengths of YAC is its super fast confirmation time. We might as well use it to our advantage.

This doesn't matter much if it takes 5min to start the client and wait 30min to update the blockchain. There is no benefit in getting to work by racecar if it takes 30min to start. I don't like lite clients or onlinewallets and belive they should be avoided when possible.

YAC could be made ultrafast if we go even further and include electrum into yacoin-qt. As long as the bockchain is updated it will be used to send funds and check balances. Without having to wait for the blockchain there is no reason to use something else on computers.

Why adding another program that does the same as the original but a little faster and can't replace it.

Yeah, show me the YAC client running on your android phone. Tongue

*catching up on the last few days of post*

I hope you don't want to PoS on your phone so you'd have to run yacoin-qt anyways. Tongue

Why would I want to PoS mine on a phone? LOL Also, I don't have enough coins for PoS to really matter.

I've even edited that post for you so stop loling at me! :I just sent you 12YAC so even you could enjoy some PoS(

EDIT: There seems to be a bug in the client:

I wanted to sent some spare (as mentioned above) and did that bevor the blockchain got updated completely. Since it said "Transaction sent" I forgot about it and it got closed while reboot. I don't autostart yacoin so I just noticed it because I thought I might have used the wrong adress and checked it on yacexplorer.

There should be at least a warning when closing the client with pending txts and an option to chancle such.

Also, it's not like it couldn't be implemented in electrum. Tongue
