- I would hope Windmaster would call his source official.

Probably an interesting point to open for discussion.  Does anyone object to calling my version of the client official?  Certainly it's not the original client, and I'm also not the original developer.  Thoughts everyone?


2. Run a poll on the official name for YAC
  • Yet Another Coin
  • Your Alternative Coin
  • Your Alternative Currency
  • ...

BTW - I lean toward "Your Alternative Currency" or "Your Alternative Coin" a bit.  The "Your Alternative Coin" option does jive with "YACoin" better than "Your Alternative Currency" though.


As one of the big holders of YAC (100K+) I cast my vote towards your client fork being the official

For me you are the official developer, but just calling your source official without some legitimation is a bad idea.

Personally I belive a vote mechanism via signed messages of wallets would be a good thing for the future anyways, but that might be overkill for this issue. Start a poll on yacointalk or here and that might give enough legitimation. We will need to change the code sometime in the future anyways (PoS double spends), so it's urgent that someone active gets accepted as official dev.

Will the windows wallet remember it's previous window position and size? I've always wondered why all the coins' don't do that (at least for the windows versions).  Undecided

While it is not the original client is has become the official client after the original dev went MiA.

So it should be called "official client".  Wink

I think most users already consider your client as the official version and you as the main developer. I don't have any say in the matter of course, but that's what I think. Good job by the way. Smiley

I vote for "Your Alternative Coin", it just sounds more "natural".

Some tweaks I pushed to github a bit ago:

 - Checkpoint added at block 120,000.
 - More changing of "YaCoin" to "YACoin" in the source.
 - Changed network client version string from "Satoshi" to "YACoin-WM".

Yes, I also have to do it everytime I transfer funds there.
At least they could put up a notification or something like in btc-e.
Actually:

Crypto-currencies are credited within 1 minute after accessing this page or "My funds" page and only after 8 confirmations of the transaction in the network. Click here to get an unused address.

I got it. The support guy said to look at the funds page and it will get credited 1 minute after that.
How strange. O.o

Did that and it was credited.

Could someone look at a transaction for me? I sent Bter 500 YAC yesterday and it still hasn't show up.

me: YE7A1h2VQAU6LCvGCdNgFFfgq78RuuYDkX
bter: Y28AcfZhtCk8V95WDbfC6jMSyV5eAto3Xe

Looks like it got added to block 121778 but outputs show "not yet redeemed"?

[ANN][YAC] Ubuntu PPA Stable releases

ppa:yacoin/yacoin

Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yacoin/yacoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yacoin-qt
sudo apt-get install yacoind

** Warning to all current Ubuntu Yacoin users
This repository uses LibDB 4.8 from the Bitcoin PPA to compile the binaries and uses it to open the wallet database.

Your own github source compiled yacoin-qt might have created a wallet with libDB 5.1. In that case the wallet will not open with this version.

If you migrate to using this PPA Yacoin client, you need to create a new wallet and use the old client to send your YACs to the new wallet.
(or you can dumpprivkey and importprivkey if you know how)

Backup your wallet.dat before trying any new software
Code:
cp ~/.yacoin/wallet.dat ~/.yacoin/wallet.dat.bak

Nice work! Smiley

Current things under development:

1. Update yacoin.org with latest builds for all platforms
  • Windows
    • 32bit
    • 64bit
  • Mac
  • Linux
    • Binary.tar.gz
    • Ubuntu PPA
  • Source

- I would hope Windmaster would call his source official.
- I'd like to see updated Windows builds from mikaelh or hanzac and call them official.
- crendore built the latest known Mac build. I'd like to see a new one.
- I'm trying to provide a Ubuntu PPA. If it fails someone with more skills can join in.
- I guess someone should research gitian.org for the bitcoin way to build stuff.

2. Run a poll on the official name for YAC
  • Yet Another Coin
  • Your Alternative Coin
  • Your Alternative Currency
  • ...

3. Run a design contest for Logo, Coin, Icon, Favicon
  • Y theme
  • YAK theme
  • Coin theme

Oh Cool. Thanks for update   Cheesy

Is there a YAC miner for nVidia GPUs (or cudaminer for YAC)?

Not at the moment.

Hm.. is it just me or is the difficulty not adjusting high enough for the current hash rate?

If you go back to N value of 1 it's something like 83 Ghash on the network right now and we're only at a diff of 0.933. That's an insane amount of hash rate for a scrypt based coin.


But YAC's N  has never been 1.
