If it's unchanged from Novacoin, there is a 2 billion cap written into the code, but this was never supposed to be a hard and fast limit or rule, and we'd probably never get there even if it was.

seems yac has some other bugs!

You better not do it because you will consume all router connections on outgoing connections and other nodes won't be able to connect to your node and thus sync with blockchain.
8 outgoing connections are there to make sure your node can sync. After it synced, it should allow nodes coming online later to connect to it and sync themselves. Once established,
connection is just connection, there are no differences whatsoever between outgoing and incoming connections beside the name.
Until there is valid UPnP YAC client you can use software like Port Mapper to allow incoming connections. I suggesting learning the tools like it because you never know when some
other software you would like to use might have troubles with incoming connections but there are no developers around, software is closed source or something.
More testing probably is needed to verify the effects, but it works fine for me. My understanding is that the original 8 connection limit is legacy code, and the more connections the better.
How to scrape bter price, I'd make a basic android price check app but don't have idea how to pull the price from there.

static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 8; is old code and should really be changed for all forks.
yeah, I'm behind an overly-restrictive firewall, so I do this to all coins I use.
Another quick text edit that can be made is:
Change all instances of "Enter a YaCoin address (e.g. 4Zo1ga6xuKuQ7JV7M9rGDoxdbYwV5zgQJ5)" to a YAC address [starts with Y]
Also in net.cpp
need to do something about strDNSSeed
I also recompiled my version to change
static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 8;
to
static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 200;
which seems to mitigate any UPNP issues.

Tonight I hope to get the blockchain explorer up and running, as this feels like something we really need working now for the long-term credibility of YAC.
Awesome! This is very much needed. I started looking into Abe, but didn't get too far on required modifications for YAC yet. I'll gladly send some YAC your way for your efforts.

^ this.
Delighted you have taken the bull by the horns, WindMaster. Don't have mad amounts of time today, but I'm definitely along for the ride and will offer all the hours I can.

Maybe pocopoco is Satoshi 
First, kudos for your initiave.
You can sign the binaries with a GPG key dedicated to this project and let some other trusted community members sign this keypair with their own GPG keys, thus making a web of trust around this project. Anonymity preserved, possible signature revocation should the private key ever get compromised, etc.
* Code sign Windows binaries to prevent modification? This kinda screws anonymity though. If I use my own Verisign code-signing keys, just about everyone knows who I am IRL.

WindMaster this is a great idea!
I've not noticed any difference on may 14th when the N++ event happened.
1) difficulty was supposed to drop - I left nothing
2) GPUs were supposed to take a hit - AFAIK they still own the network.

My VPS only makes 230 khashes now instead of 315 before. Not sure if related, maybe the hoster got new customers. 1) difficulty was supposed to drop - I left nothing

Let me volunteer for fixing the UPnP issue and recompiling QT client and normal .exe. I've succcesfully build a number of qt clients now for some altcoins the last few days. All with upnp support. I'll have to read up on how to push changes to git cuz i never done that before, I'll PM u windmaster if I get stuck there.
I expect it to be done tonight (i'm at gmt-1 i think)
Great initiative!

This one I'm unsure about. I thought for sure that if there were a significant number of GPU implementations floating around, someone was going to post one by now (as a claim to fame) as soon as GPU mining would have become unprofitable (which by my calculations is probably getting close to becoming unprofitable as YAC prices drop).
have to agree, I speculate that those that say gpu is possible are actually referring to the aws cloud net's
There was some adverts around for on some dodgy sales sites for a gpu yac miner, but they never actually came to be anything...and so likely scam...
that's so good news, don't give up on YAC, it's the only coin that everybody can mine something! this alone is a huge motivation to not give up on it.
