and it's down atm. looks like YAC is in demand
Congratulations to all the community for bringing this nice project all the way to this point.
But remember, the objective is to allow people to use YAC as a fast and secure cryptocurrency for trading goods and services. Let's keep working on that.

where?
It is now. No buyers yet though, only sellers/
How long before this appears on an exchange??
-10 minutes.

Ah, like trying to manipulate stocks on a trading forum... gotcha...
thanks
anyone knows the block value now?
Here's what it was 48 blocks ago (about 13 minutes ago):
{
"account" : "",
"category" : "immature",
"amount" : 19.40000000,
"confirmations" : 48,
"generated" : true,
...
}
Keep waiting for this to appear on an exchange!
Ok, so it looks like the original two clients are fine. It is potentially only the special versions of cgminer and minerd.
By the way, what the heck does FUD stand for?? lol

To my knowledge, no one has actually released a special version of cgminer for Yacoin.
Anyone have total bytes or checksums for good versus bad versions of client or minerd? Seems to be the best way to spread the word on what may be unsafe. I have the 08 & 09 versions in my public dropbox if anyone needs them.

Bear in mind that YAC isn't competing for resources with any other coins right now.
anyone believe that the current network speed is 2.8GH/s and a block is found every ~16s ? or is my script way off? the 16s per block is definite. I'm more skeptical over the network speed...
Well... at difficulty ~1.3 or so, I was getting about 3% of all block rewards with 30 MH/s. So that'd be about 1 GH/s at diff 1.3, and based on the current difficulty 2.8 GH/s sounds very ballpark.
However, it gets even better because... even if someone has ported a GPU miner, the N-factor (separate from difficulty) is about to increase on May 14th, (as I understand) creating a sudden condition where CPU miners have the advantage over GPU miners.
The May 14 change from scrypt+chacha(32,1,1) to scrypt+chacha(64,1,1) doesn't cause any sort of situation where CPU's will be faster than GPU's.
As explained by the YaCoin author, each time N increases GPU miners should take a hit, slowing them down while CPU miners are unaffected. CPU miners are further benefited by a slight drop in difficulty, while N hits the GPU dudes hard.
It'll slow them down only long enough to open a text editor and tweak cgminer's OpenCL source file for a different value of N and restart cgminer. Anyone that modified the OpenCL source to switch to scrypt+chacha/keccak very likely already parameterized N at the top of the source so it's a 1-line tweak. At some point (around N=256 or N=512) the modified cgminer users will be slightly inconvenienced when they need to take a few extra minutes to further tune the lookup gap and thread concurrency.
