YAC 's price deceasing.

GPU miners have left yac.

what's have done in the two months about YAC's bugs?

for example,

can't submit work when encrypt wallet.

"proof of stake" always destroy some "proof of work".

firstly i will apologize for my frustration and im not really pointing my finger at any one person but im about to lose my shit with this coin and its devs or lack of rather.

we have our talent spread all over the internet and no one has a clue what the current plan or update is of this damn coin.

we have all these fantastic ideas that we post here and there and none of them get done,and they keep piling up all while
we cant even get proper clients built for every damn os, the coin is two months old and this thread is 37 pages long!!!

this coin sells itself and the development and attention will come in time but at least WM can you be a little more transparent about your thoughts
and plans and can you say something about making a client that works, because like it or not people look to you and will follow your lead!
 i mean that is the simplest of things that we need to happen we cant deploy the thing.
because it dosnt work on certain os and offers no features at all i mean we dont even have a damn testnet how are pools meant to test

i really think this is a piss poor effort from alot of you and i think it really, like always boils down to leadership and people trying to keep it quiet so they can mine more
but thats just backwars you make mining proifitable and eco freindly by increasing its value and accesability! (im not attacking anyone in pert so please dont focus on the wrong part of my point here)

now in saying all of this i could be a bit naive to the logistics of such things but we need to build a damn foundation and that means we need a working client deploy sytem
because im sick of seeing people having to answer so many questions about where to get one that is current or that even works...keep in mind that people dont want to have to surf so many
damn pages just to find a working client or even how to install the thing having to change folder options to show appdata to make a config file or make a damn bat file just to run your miner

i know all this is open source but you all have stake here and thats the incentive enough its not about short term investment its about calculating your time vs the end result of the investment and im telling you something most of you know already not a damn chance your gonna get more money for the same time you spend on this working a job or small business then you will when you sell up  


now i see people working on GPU miners and trying to make it profitable or working on this and that but i dont see anyone trying to work on a client with features to be flexible enough to build stuff around instead of
building it to fit everything

id really like to see something along the lines of the gui recognising the .exe's and what not in a folder for the client and giving them as a option to use or import a new miner from where ever you chose to download it to within 3 or less clicks done then add the url to your pool and enter your userpass and away you go, that way no need to build it around miner programs but miners have to be built around that one premise..anyhow i think ive got my point across sorry for the tldr post but i cant be the only one frustrated at this

just keep in mind i understand people are busy and have different projects but no one is even talking about this shit or standing up to get it cracking so i wonder what the hell is going on and i watch this thread and the forums everyday so imagine what anyone else thinks that dosnt. we dont need to go overboard with promo but we do need to start at the basics

After looking at the bitcoin pull request, it looks like the main concern is, has enough testing been completed to implement such a potentially (though not likely) dangerous feature.

Updated windows build of Windmasters recent update to YACoin client can be found here >>http://yacointalk.com/index.php/topic,294.msg1114.html#msg1114

It crashes on every start right after attempting to make outgoing connections. WinXP SP3 32-bit.

the cpu ratio is closer to 2:1 in terms of kh/s for ltc vs yac. for cpu its more profitable to mine yac and for gpu its even at current prices.

In the long run and if everybody did the same GPU mining LTC and trading for YACs would end being more profitable, as price would rise instead of increasing the supply.

Don't forget that YAC block reward decreases with difficulty going up. More hashrate means YAC price must go up else mining becomes unprofitable.

[BOUNTY]

Anyway, is there someone skilled enough to add coin control to YACoin client? More info here > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yet-another-coin-control-release-closed-144331
I'll pay 1 BTC for the job which must include source code and working Win32 and 64 bit binaries. Others are welcomed to add some coins to bounty.

Bounty is still valid.

I'd try a brand new thread for the bounty, it will get a lot more exposure.  There are a lot of programmers that aren't following individual threads, like this one, etc.  Smiley

Auto updater included please.

That would be a cool feature for all coins to implement. The problem would be determining what everyone should update to - the only way (since centralization is not an option) to do something like that that I can think of is a P2P consensus on what is the newest client.

Do you guys have any plan to promote YAC? Right now it is only limited to geeks. We'll need more CPUs to sustain the network before the next N++. Smiley

YAC has seen a bit of activity recently. The casino I have linked in my signature and also I just saw earlier that coingas.com and cryptosextoys.com is also now accepting YAC thanks to user fendlestick. I think when more stores and sites start adopting YAC the word will spread even more.

Other than that, the only way I see to spread awareness is to get some things that have been discussed in this thread done: mainly a user-friendly installer that is kept up-to-date with the latest builds for Windows bundled with a miner that has an easy-to-use interface. This would bring a lot of "non-geek" users to the table I think, if there was the prospect of mining coins in an easy-to-setup package. If I had the skills to do it, I'd help but unfortunately I don't so I will have to leave it up to someone else, but I think that is what YAC needs the most at this point.

YAC needs a market place. That's all.

i have a problem sending funds

when i do
Code:
yacoind sendtoaddress xxxxxxx xx
i get
Code:
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Error: Transaction creation failed  "}

thanks in advanced

Ill try and help although ive never used yacoind to send funds

Firstly make sure your yacoind is synced first before you try sending funds type yacoind getinfo to check your balence to make sure you have funds

then yacoind getmininginfo to see what block your daemon is synced to as of right now mine says  88886

if its not synced then it wont let you send funds if it is synced let me know if that helps

i understand your running your own p2pool node i have one also but havent sent funds from it yet

and im not sure if you are able to send while its running with python as ive never tried
yes it is synced up, and yes i am runing my own p2pool node.

i turned it off and tried to send payment. no good.

try restarting it with the -rescan command it could be a number of things any chance you have looked at the debug log
maybe there are too many inputs also are you accounting for the transaction fee its hard to help if we i cant see any logs
because that error would come up for a number of reasons you can try running it with the command  yacoind -rescan -keypool 1000

Break the amount you want to send into few smaller ones. It is very likely that you are attempting to send so much inputs that YACoin client
refuses to create such transaction due to transaction size and / or fee limits.

As far as I know, -keypool value works only when making new wallet. It specifies the number of keys wallet is to keep as reserve at all times
and it is useful only if person is not making wallet backups frequently but regulary and frequently creates many new addresses for receiving coins.
If both criteria are fulfilled but person uses default keypool of 100, it can happen that when rolling back to old backup some coins will be missing
due to keypool of old wallet being exhausted, e.g. newer wallet "knows" more used keys than older one.

Thats correct its for creating reserve addresses I was trying to get him to throw random ideas at the problem notice how i didnt format -keypool 1000 properly
that was also a work of deductive arts Smiley Sherlock would be so proud, but thanks mate

so this is what i have tried so far.

breaking it into smaller portions., i have a total of 100 yac stuck in there. went from trying to pull 90 to 45 to 1 and still get the error.

removed everything and allow to redownload block chain. still error

moved wallet to windows 7 with yac client. shows the amount. but still same error.

i'm out of idea  Huh

Can i have you address ill send you a chunk of YAC and see if you can send it back
didn't give that a try yet.

i'll send my self yac. don't want you getting yours stuck in my blackhole wallet. thanks for this advice

hi

we are improving efficiency on old yac.coinmine.pl but in the meantime we opened new proportional pool: http://yacp.coinmine.pl

feeleep

I notice with this pool every time it finds a block the displayed hashrates dip down really low for a few minutes, every time.

This could have something to do with the GPU miners stalling out, i was watching mine do it yesterday.



No - actually is was a way the pool calculates the hashrate - all shares were coming in normal speed just statistics were wrong. Now should be OK

Ok, good job, carry on  Wink

Seems every proof of stake will make proof of work invalid.

Normal behavior in Bitcoin and Litecoin derived coins is that the chain with the most cumulative work (difficulty) will win a reorg and block height has nothing to do with it

Block height matters. Nodes will always switch to longest blockchain.
That's incorrect. Only chain trust score or chain work matters. Clients will always switch to chain with highest trust score (ppc, nvc, ...) or highest work (pow-based systems).
