In other news, old c coder has been able to compile a native MSVC++ version of yacoind (https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/pull/17) and I will merge that to testing (or maybe YAC-MSVC++) once the outstanding issues are resolved. Anyone that is able to test it out, please do so. This (I believe) makes YAC the first coin that can be compiled in MSVC++ since the early days of Bitcoin. I'm not a fan of windows and neither is sairon, but there are a lot of extremely talented people out there (like Ron and Satoshi Wink

) who are masters on that platform, and I believe it will bring YAC to a whole new group of people.

So far, this is the only pull request I've received to fix this issue.

https://github.com/grokouser/yacoin/commit/34f795b1362b068e313d2f47ff3428aaf1a217df

Which is basically the same thing that sairon proposes.

That's the original proposal. I think sairon has a newer one (in a pastebin he deleted) which mainly uses POW difficulty as trust and let POS block inherit the trust score from previous POW block.

I have a habit of setting quite short expiration periods for my pastebins. Wink

Send a pull request for all of your recent changes when you have a moment. Block 400000 (!!!) is coming up soon so if anyone else wants to provide feedback or alternate solutions do it soon. If not, I'm going to merge sairon's changes - probably by the end of the weekend.

So if a fork is made all the current coins would dissapear? Huh

No a fork only affects the logic for determining the valid chain going forward from a specific block (in this case)

Question, what happens if not everyone changes their wallet and some people continue using the older wallet, for whatever reason? Are there then two YACoins out there?

The cryptocoin watcher

I would go for a couple incremental upgrades. First ameliorate the issue adjusting the PoW/PoS balance. Run that for a while, then implement anything more advanced. We may come up with some other features to add in the second upgrade.

Can/should we put this up for a vote? Can a decision ultimately be up to sairon? I'm wondering/anxious on what the next step will be...

I wouldn't want to put the pressure on sairon, but I would be willing to let him and Joe_Bauers have the final say. After the lengthy discussion that was had here, I believe the ramifications of doing nothing outweigh the risk of hard forking to fix chain trust issues.

Yea, voting probably would be a waste of time considering all factors. Thanks so much sairon and Joe. I am pretty ignorant on how this hard fork would go down.

So, it's unofficialy dead?

Not sure where you got that idea - just decision making to determine the update being made or setting a time to fork with the changes sairon already proposed.

So I couldn't just send a YAC to the address and include a message with that transaction? Sorry to be such a newbie.

Nope you can't. That's one of the misconceptions that blockchain.info is spreading (un-)intentionally.

No joy. I tried all of your suggestions. Would there be some way to use the "sign message" functionality to see if any (perhaps honest) person has received the coins?

First you need to find that person, though.
