Topic: [ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development - page 135. (Read 379983 times)

Umm, I think there are somewhat more changes in my fork than just adding checkpoints..  See if you can get the original official release to compile on Windows, and if you succeed (without replacing all the scrypt-jane library source with a newer version altogether), also keep score on how many times you see unchanged "Novacoin" and "NVC" text plastered all over the original client.  Or try to get an estimate of the network hash rate out of the original client, or find out the current N or Nfactor without looking up the time-vs-N table I generated (and everyone else reposted in various places).

Hey sairon or Joe_Bauers (with Joe being the only one who has ever contributed code to my version of the client), want to take over my Github repository (github.com/yacoin)?  My enthusiasm for continuing development is decreasing, given the number of people that constantly send me private messages that the sky is falling if we don't immediately hard fork to change {insert random non-critical thing here that is different in YACoin than any other coin and/or doesn't work exactly how someone wants it to, or that we need to protect against hypothetical attacks that only exist in the sender's imagination due to misunderstandings of how the code works}.  My favorite is all the PM's I get demanding we hard fork to change the difficulty calculation so after Nfactor++ events, average block time won't temporarily rise from 1 minute to 2 minutes for a few days while difficulty adjusts (oh no!).

I no longer hold any appreciable amount of YAC (well, other than a few thousand laying around somewhere) and haven't for quite a while.

I personally don't feel the need to "fix" this, IMHO it's a non issue as you'll only be generating satoshis anyway (and YAC isn't worth THAT much for this to be any significant amount). Also, AFAIK if you are p2pool minig and have a LOT of sub-YAC unspent inputs in your wallet (presumably at one address), they'll be grouped into one PoS transaction when you have enough of them older than 30 days AND they cummulatively exceed the 10 YAC minimum (please correct me if I'm wrong, haven't looked at the actual code for this yet).

As for the PoS blocks not meeting the 10 YAC minimum input: I think those were actually older than 30 days and thus eligible for a higher percentual PoS reward (5% per year, remember?), and those few extra days made a difference. There's a hardcoded maximum of 90 days, however, so be sure not to wait more before staking or you'll be losing out on that (that means if you have a stake-eligible pile of coins that's, say, half a year old; you'll still be getting a reward corresponding to only 90 days old coins).

of course! Just messin with ya...appreciate the work man.
I'll fire it up now.

Actually I like the minimum PoS reward. 0.05YAC are currently less than a tenth of a cent so it wouldn't change anything.

Could someone troll the network by making a lot of small adresses and a good network connection?

I have PoS-mined NVC with a total balance of 0.99 NVC.
 

Great news for people with p2pool inputs then.

Also, is this also an issue for every other PoS coin (including the original PPC) ?


AFAIK, No one but @sairon is working on the YAC wallet (awesome work with the coin control feature btw).
Behind adding checkpoints (on the @Windmaster fork), nothing else has been done on the client since the official release.

No. It should be fixed.

Well, you know, you can run 32-bit version on a 64-bit Windows just fine.

Nice find! This should definitely be added to the wiki.

Great work!

Waiting for x64 windows version...

A thread dedicated to yacoin client with coin control: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annyac-coin-control-for-yacoin-is-here-first-altcoin-with-coin-control-276948

When you switch to list view, you'll see the exact date/time of all all your outputs. From there you can derive input age.

Great, I will look into later.  Maybe someone else can as well?  From what I understand Coin Control has nothing to do with 'coin age' as coin control is for managing multiple addresses and was originally built for Bitcoin--obviously coin age does not apply, no Proof of Stake.

OK, I've built it for you (although compiling under windoze is a royal PITA -.-").
Just unzip and it should work.

(link removed as it cointained a critical bug)

I don't have LINUX... I have Windows 64

Yeah, I saw it, too. That's what made me thinking about implementing it in YAC. And those new bounties just made me do it faster.

I can't find it, but I am very sure I read such a post. ~1 Month ago...

I guess so. Give it a try and lemme know if something's not right.

I JUST posted a new topic... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276606.new#new

Does it satisfy all requirements?

I think it is important for YaCoin's future that the ones with the biggest shares of the YaCoin economy are willing to invest a portion of their holdings in  new developments and such.  Not that hoarding is bad, but it isn't the best way for this currency to compete.


If someone wants BTC, they can sell their YaCoin for cheap back to me  I am not trying to stimulate some other coin's economy with this offer.

Guess I'll have to release it in order to get some testing going.   So here comes...

YaCoin Wallet with Coin Control!

Git repo: https://github.com/saironiq/yacoin-cc

Compile as usual, eg. for linux:

Then in Settings -> Options -> Display, check "Display coin control features (experts only!)".
Aaaand it's done. Enjoy.
