I don't have any programming skills but I'd definitely contribute to any bounties collected for whatever might be needed. I'm not rich by any means but I'd contribute. I'll post it over in the bounty thread.
edit: thanks WindMaster.

Good to hear, Wind. You seem like a sharp guy, so I'm looking forward to the development. Thanks, mate.
glad to see you step it up.
I'd like to help develop Yacoin further. I have C++ experience from 2005, I've made some GPU miners (notably the first open source LTC GPU miner), but not much anything specifically coin-development-related. Do you use IRC?
Will watch it too. I wish I could contribute actual code. I can get some translations done tho.
so do we update or not?
You can if you wish. There are no functional changes implemented yet, I've just forked the repository a bit ago and started cleaning up the errant NovaCoin / NVC references. Particularly on Windows, the UPnP and mining performance issues remain at this point, but those are high-priority targets to fix soon. If you just want your client to say YAC instead of NVC for now, you can update if you wish. Otherwise if you're running fine on the official YACoin client, wait for now.
Fantastic! I'm willing to contribute. However I must go to sleep now 
so do we update or not?
Thanks for doing this Wind. This is the only other than BTC/ LTC that I find interesting.
thx
i am glad to see it

How it works
YACoin is the original creator of Scrypt-N Proof of Work. YACoin chose a PoW algoritm SHA-3 KECCAK to further distance itself from other coin creation schemes. YACoin uses Proof of Stake to secure itself from pure PoW attacks.
Proof of Stake is an improved version from Peercoin's implementation. YACoin counts PoS blocks with equal weight as PoW blocks.
