Well I say we go back to the Yak imagery once 10-year-olds have all the money and power in the world 
Until then, let's rally behind a more professional theme.
Until then, let's rally behind a more professional theme.It seems like you're forgetting this is the "Yet Another Coin".
So I think it deserves a funny logo (in a good sense, ofc).Good point... which is why the 'official' name will change to Your Alternative Coin/Currency. This is the beauty of decentralization. Besides, the original developer is MIA.
Vote!

No good lord no. How is that stupid 'Yak' imagery not killed off yet?
I don't like it either, but aren't there more important things to do ATM?Nevertheless we lack of a good way to decide about things such as this. AFIK there hasn't been any real changes to Yacoin yet, but even such trivial things like a logo can't be decidet yet. We have to stick to the old one.As long as nobody changes anything viral this is ok, but if we ever want to be able to decide about controversial things we need to find a good way to do it. Polls in a forum are rigged, letting the dictator Joe rule the world or a scream battle in a threat aren't good ways to do it.

The value of fiat is based off of perception, and a funny-looking animal as the symbol is great to sway the perception of an outsider? The issue has already been addressed earlier in this thread... here are the logos to use, but I obviously like the one in my profile... http://imgur.com/NyRv4oc,NrPE30u,tHZ59ga,7BGBnGI,WzSU1Mc,ny0zcw3,tH5L9QA,tf0HQqq,BeYDNvK,MLL536l,1wlxCzx#8
LOL why, I like the Yak logo.

Looks great. WM and I are working on the details of the transition, but I (or WM) will merge as soon as possible.
Thanks for the logos!
Git pull request to WM's repo created. https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/pull/6
EDIT: sent you a little tip.

a few minutes in your favorite image editor with a resizeable YAC logo
Took me longer to find that damm logo than resizing only to find that alenevaa had it already done.Good work alenevaa!
Done!

I don't like this logo personally too much, but it's more or less official
BTW, we can change the Novacoin icons in Qt client to proper YAC icons. All that needs to be done is generate a few sizes of png and ico images with YAC logo. If someone has the skills to do it (a few minutes in your favorite image editor with a resizeable YAC logo), I've attached a zip with all the required dimensions/formats:

Not a big deal, but it's been bugging me forever...I like where yac is heading, just needs a little push. After some point the xpm miners might flock this way.

Since I started with POS (walletpassphrase xxxxxxxx 999999999 true) over one month ago, I have some difficulties with the client:
1. No POS blocks found, no rewards or anything recieved
2. Starting the client takes 5-10 minutes, sometimes crashes
3. Most important: I hardly can send yacs to another wallet or trading platform or anything. Error: Transaction creation failed. I already tried dividing into 500Yac pieces and even smaller. Once in a while (like 1 of 10) a transaction gets through with a high fee (12YAC at the last try of 350Y). After a failed transaction the client crashes most of the time.
4. Some of the transaction that work, keep getting unconfirmed until I start the client with --rescan.
I can't find any other help in the net. Somebody here got an idea?

Are you p2pool mining? If so, you probably have thousands of small inputs and when you try to combine them into a single, say, 500 YAC output, you exceed a transaction size limit (thus the huge fee).

Joe, would it make sense to clone the various miner clients into the yacoin repository so that there is one central place where good, working copies of the CPU and GPU miners can be found? Even if they're not the latest version, it's still something...
Unless he wants to check the source of all miners this is a bad idea. It doesn't bother me when someone puts a walletstealer in some miner, but if such thing ends on the official repository it's a PR nightmare.Alright, check out my github repository for the CPU miner and clone that if you feel comfortable with the changes. I took ali1234's code, merged it with floodyberry's updated scrypt-jane library, speperated out the yacoin unique stuff into its own file and added instructions on how to compile under windows. Check the code, and if you don't find any wallet/key/password stealers, add it to the repo... I tried to get ali1234 to accept a pull request on his, but it's still sitting there after several months.

IMO that's nonsense. Keeping working binaries on one site (eg. yacoin.org) would be nice, though.

I do hope to have verified YACoin client binaries available at some point for Win and Linux in one repository.
