One does not simply mine Bitcoins
Some addresses with too many transactions failed to display. Like this one maybe:
http://yacexplorer.tk/address/YJH8f3XKtTXWHpCAgYpQCi5HAQ7SCPGSXA

It exceeded the limit of 1000 transactions (this address has 1960), I bumped it a little (but the result is higher server load, and it's on a crappy hardware).

Good deal. I'm assuming the size is how it is because the dll's are included? It works without them, so I suppose. Good work, regardless. :p

Oh, yes, I like the client statically compiled ...

The cryptocoin watcher
- The original developer no longer supports it.

YaCoin has now more developers looking at it than it had at the start. And in so far the code seems to have performed as intended, nothing fundamental needed to be changed in the wooping 11 days since pocopoco's last commit.

- Even though Windmaster is maintaining it. Its really not in his best interest. He would most likely do far better of with his FPGA code on a YAC clone or releasing his own coin.

Or he could end mutually anihilating both the clone and the original. Only a gambler risks a good position for a possibly better position.

- There are no Windows binaries out there of the current fork.

You only needed to ask nicely (or maybe pay a bounty, mmh?).

- The original version has the checkpoint message which scares a lot of people away.

Or not. I don't think granma is using YaCoins yet.

- If the coin wasn't on BTER I don't think there would be any real trades for it. I don't see a way to spend it otherwise.

The coin is 22 days old. It's a bit early for it to replace the dollar, end hunger, bring world peace, walk the dog and do my laundry.

- The general trend these last couple weeks are people are just cloning coins and releasing them with minimal changes. The odds are high that a YAC clone will be released with more features than this one.

"Minimal changes" and "more features" is a contradiction. There's still no "minimal changes" clone, even less a clone with "more features".

- The total hash rate is on a constant decline.

Or not. The stable rate can be expected to be lower than the post launch spike.

- Keep in mind most people are looking for the next big jump like another Litecoin if they don't see support on a coin they just move on.

YaCoin still isn't competing for resources with new GPU coins.

I think a coin like this has some high hopes I just don't think this coin is going to be it.

I guess it would suck if it was "it" after dumping 80k of them. Grin

I compiled a version of win64 from windmaster's git branch, if you have 64-bit windows installed, you can try it.

Nice work. I did try last week but hit a few stumbling blocks, intended to come back to it, so would really appreciate seeing your code to find out what I hadn't managed to figure out.

We should ask anderl from 2nd post in original Yacoin thread to post a update of this client.

I hope WM will compile windows one soon for people to feel more safe but I don't have problems with downloading blockchain. I have the message about checkpoint but blockchain is downloaded regularly, last block right now was generated 11 seconds ago.

any windows client? or a guide for compile it? i'm having issues with the original client, can't download the blockchain.

You never did anything for YAC except mining it with shitload of AWS-es (I guess it was them with a level of hashrate you had on dontmineme at times), when it was most profitable to do it and kept quiet collecting thousands of them when some of us were fighting against malicious fud here in it's worst hours, so good to see you departing from it but not really complaining as you did what you always planned to, you're just a bit disappointed someone didn't do more job for you to dump them at higher price, probably recently at 00064 as I see that big sell wall lost lot of his powe now Smiley. I hope it was you as it would mean you stopped the rise 2 days ago on your own just to sell it 20% cheaper, would be epic.

At just below 0005 they are in better hands now. I'm glad to see some at times big miners like you and fenican or few more that didn't felt it's necessary (and rightly so) to inform us about their trading activities and post-dump thoughts are out and the price is still in it's usual margins. That was always going to happen and market so far dealt with it pretty well.

I just unloaded my last approximately 80k on BTER at around .00050 which are the two big volume spikes you see http://bter.com/trade/yac_btc to explain my reasoning for this:

- The original developer no longer supports it.
- Even though Windmaster is maintaining it. Its really not in his best interest. He would most likely do far better of with his FPGA code on a YAC clone or releasing his own coin.
- There are no Windows binaries out there of the current fork.
- The original version has the checkpoint message which scares a lot of people away.
- If the coin wasn't on BTER I don't think there would be any real trades for it. I don't see a way to spend it otherwise.
- The general trend these last couple weeks are people are just cloning coins and releasing them with minimal changes. The odds are high that a YAC clone will be released with more features than this one.
- The total hash rate is on a constant decline.
- Keep in mind most people are looking for the next big jump like another Litecoin if they don't see support on a coin they just move on.

I think a coin like this has some high hopes I just don't think this coin is going to be it. If you guys want it to be it then you will want to address some of the issues posted above. One of the first things you should do is get some compiled binaires up there. Particularly Windows ones since one of the allures of YAC is to be able to just run this on any machine that currently isn't doing anything.

I do appreciate all the work a lot of you guys put into it. Especially Windmaster. Thank you for giving it your best shot.

Awesome thanks .

 Now how do I go about compiling it in win?

Oi, one quick question. To translate the client is it enough to create i.e. bitcoin_es.ts with the language attribute set to "es" and then the contents of the translation tags translated? I've done gettext translations before, but not this system. Recompiling my fork with a half translated locale in src/qt/locale didn't make the language option to appear in the client Settings.

Very happy to see this work on YAC .

Silly question:
 If I switch to unofficial client does this mean new fork and my coins on it will eventually not be "legit" on original fork?

Looks like a couple other people already answered the general question.  I think the term fork confuses people, and a lot of people immediately think hard fork of the blockchain.  Nope, in this case, fork is just GitHub's term for taking a copy of someone else's project (in this case, pocopoco's original YACoin client) and continuing to work on and develop it independently of the original author.  We're not changing anything with the blockchain.

no forking. the client is unoffical because it isn't the original, but it still works the same way, on the same chain.
