Next steps for Yacoin? As a community we should probably come up with a plan for the next steps that we should take with YAC.
One thing that I believe is very important is to get some language support into the client, website, etc. YAC is way too "English" at the moment. We have users all over the world and it would be great to represent that.
As mentioned in my post on the previous page, I could also use some help from some other devs. I put MANY hours in to get the code where it is but I don't really want to do it all alone.
Even if I had all the time in the world though, it goes against the principles that we have seemed to gravitate towards with YAC of having it be a 1 or 2 person show.
The current "price" has certainly discouraged some, but its not about price or exchange rate, its about furthering value of a community orientated coin that everyone can be proud of.
So... Let's come up with a plan!

I think additional language support would be a great development for YAC. As I mentioned before, I'm not a programmer by any means, and every time I look at the sourcecode I remember how little I know. I'm hoping some other 'programmers' are wiling to step up. In the mean time I'm willing to help in anyway I can.
The trading value of YAC is differently a sore thumb. But looking at all alternative coins, they are all suffering. In the grand scheme of things, YAC has some-what been holding some what steady, but the price is still very low. I truly believe we would attached more (new) miners and investors if we would have a miner directly in the wallet. I've introduced this 'cpu coin' to several of my 'non-techy' friends who just have regular desktops (without graphics cards) and they were excited they could mine something without buying special software. But everyone of them were 'overwhelmed' by needing to write a batch file, and downloading a miner from a forum, ignoring their anti-virus saying 'this could be a virus', and making an account on a third party website (mining pool). Eventually they all lost interest and declared it was 'too much work' to launch everything. Again, I believe if the miner is apart of the wallet, and they set it to launch at computer start up, it will run in the background. And more hashrate = more security = less coins = less dumping = more interest = possible higher trading value = stronger yac economy.
I think Beave started a bounty for this (and I believe I through in some coins), but I don't think anyone has expressed interest on working on it.
A mobile wallet would be really nice too. I know several uses that would be interested in this as well.
Should be make a list of development actions that needs to be done? And place a bounty address on each? And compile them into a list so everyone can see. Maybe it will attract some new 'programmers'? For example...
Wallet in miner: Bounty 12,345 yac, address y9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mobile wallet: Bounty 987 yac, donation address y8xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dice Website: Bounty 123 yac, donation address y7xxxxxxxxxxxxx
What are your thoughts on this Joe and the community?
.... terrible hash rate.
