Topic: [ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development - page 130. (Read 380091 times)
Every Linux guy knows YaST – Yet another Setup Tool and no one would ever dare to touch it's name.
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.
I didn't want to spam on the voting thread so I' post this here:
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
github.com/yacoin
...
Since searching for YAC isn't acciociated with Yacoin we wouldn't have a useful abveration. (YACurrency
)
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.

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

I'm making the thread. Wait a moment. 
It would have been a good idea to post the address as well:
DON'T VOTE HERE, GO TO:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3011758
TO VOTE FOR NAME AND LOGO.
Ah, I see. You're right.
I'm making the thread. Wait a moment.

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!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.
*catching up on the last few days of post*

We might as well use it to our advantage. I know several of my friends/family/colleges would be interested in a way to send YAC through a mobile app.

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

Yeah, show me the YAC client running on your android phone. Also, it's not like it couldn't be implemented in electrum.

Slow startup has been fixed in 0.8 versions of different Wallets with optimizations or by moving to LevelDB wallet instead of libdb4.8. I would wait until PPC or NVC moves forward but depending on our skillful coders we could imitate LTC too.
YAC is currently by far the slowest client I have running. I hope you can fix that, but you don't have to reinvent the weel when you could copy it easier from someone else.On the same issue, Sairon said he is currently working on an electrum implementation for YAC. I know you guys hate centralisation, but as long as the blockchain is updating I've no problems with using electrum for transactions with yacoin-qt. Since electrum shouldn't be used for PoS you should have to run yacoin-qt anyways. Why adding another program to the computer that does the same as the original but a little faster and can't replace it.
"Download a full client, fund it via exchange and you are ready to go." without all the security risks of most people running just electrum.
Thanks WindMaster for your summer's contributions and letting us continue with the project.
I almost forgot to thank WM for his work. Thanks a lot and I hope you might return again and regret that you sold yours xD!EDIT: added the underlined
Sorry I've been little inactive aswell. I'm on the Ɏ logo and Your Alternative... side. yacoin.org displaying stuff like yak is easily changed if we reach consensus. Just keep in mind that I don't directly control the site nor does other yacointalk admins.
1 bug thats been consistent with Yacoin in Ubuntu has been missing menubars and taskbar menus. This affects CoinControl version too. I see it as QT problem with my system or the code. BTC and LTC 0.8 stable are both working fine on my machine.

You really want to spam the dev thread with votes?!
I'm for Beave162 logo and Yet Another Currency.

I believe ilostcoins is going to open it. The voting threads should not be opened or maintained by me. To your point, please let's not use this thread for voting.
My votes are for the logo as used by Beave162, and for changing the name to Your Alternative Currency. If the final
vote does not result in a majority, then those are the changes that I will make.

LOL, can't believe I've started a flamewar just by changing a *NovaCoin* logo to something resembling YAC.
Nice job!
What are the rules? Every account can vote?
That sounds good to me. The vote should be for the logo and for the name. Both of which are going to be "officially" changing within the next few weeks. I'm absolutely committed to doing what the overall community wants for YACoin, but ultimately, to some of Beave162's concerns and so things will not stagnate, it will be my decision.

St.Bit, you seem to think there should be a 'system' in place to decide things for the YaCoin 'community'. This thought process goes against the principles behind cryptocurrencies.
Well not for, but a system by which we decide stuff. (If that was clear ignore)The rest would be just anarchy and as Sairon said even changing a logo or name would otherwise result in a flamewar. A voting result by an commonly accepted method is the only way to shut up people that can't accept that their suggestion won't be used without shutting them up forever. It might not be so essential on the current size, but if YAC grows we will need it to be able move.
