I think the name YAC just grows on you after a while.
 Price has been very stable unlike all the other clone alto's.
I am mining it with all my cpus Smiley

I started forking bitcoin-abe last night, did a few things, hit a couple of brick walls, read some posts, etc.

I'm happy to collaborate with you to get it rolling, or leave it to you. Entirely up to you, I just want it up and running asap. Shall we continue via PM?

i think YACOIN despite its name is a huge contender what do the two major cryptocurrencies have in common
BTC was the first sha-256 crypto (and yes the first crypto)
LTC was the first scrypt crypto
Correct me if i am wrong, but yacoin employs a new hashing algorithm so it will be the first of that type of hashing algorithm
So i think yacoin will stand out amongst the crowd of new coins

the most interesting thing about alt coins is how desperate people are to convince themselves the coin they've chosen is superior even if they don't actually understand how and it's destined to succeed!

I personally don't think ditching "yet another" is necessary. I quite like it, gives it some old school geek charm. Wink

Most people are just calling it YAC anyway.

YACoin like YES!Coin ...as opposed to NOCoin. Better than OKPay because you don't sound so unsure about it. When teaching your kids about crypto-currencies you can call it YabadabadoCoins and the cool kids on the streets call em YAKS. "I got these Rollies, you got any YAKS?"
YACoin branding is much better than most other alts especially peepee, feather and china.
Ditching of 'yet another alt' is a must for obvious reasons. And if pocopoco isn't interested in moving forward with this we need to take it over.

I would have preferred YIYAAC: Yac is yet another alt coin

If it wasn't bad enough that the coin has a yak in it's logo, imagine what people will think when they learn that the name stands for 'yet another alt-coin'.
what about well-known "YACC - yet another compiler compiler" ?   Tongue

Where's the originality in that? People want a catchy name that they haven't heard before, not regurgitated ones. I think having a good name can be instrumental to the success of a crypto-coin, and a bad name can be detrimental to a crypto even if it has a good innovative concept.

You have a point there definitely. Both YAC and JNK creators made coins that vere pretty innovative compared to crap that was and still announced here but both were half-arsed in naming their coins. Stupid and childish thing to do.

Though I think YAC managed to run away from the full name pretty much...  YAC is already used by almost anyone, that full name is rarely mentioned..

I don't think a coin that has a yak in it's logo can ever reach mainstream acceptance. Maybe as a joke coin, but certainly not as a serious contender in the crypto universe. I would put it on the same level as BBQ Coin, except that BQC was the original joke coin, so YAC is actually inferior to BQC.

In other news... the avatars you used so far impose such a reliability  Grin
