Can anyone confirm whether fixing #1 issue also fixed #3 (slow with lots of transactions)?

I've got some ideas for issue #2, but this would need community consensus.

tonight I'll try loading this version.  I have ~1050 transactions in my wallet.

I was thinking the same thing. That would be a nice benefit of the fix for #1  Cool

Were you working from an older scrypt-jane library?  FloodyBerry fixed some problems with it that caused some compile errors a few months ago.
That's quite possible, haven't checked.

No, all of the floodberry changes should be current in YAC. This was due to an extern C added to fix some linkage issues with the mingw compile. Unfortunately, that caused some problems with other builds so logic was added  to only apply if windoze and not Qt.

Most of the time at startup is now spend verifying the last couple of blocks (which needs to to recompute their hashes to ensure integrity). I've lowered this number from the default 2500 to 666 (rather arbitrarily chosen, but should absolutely be set higher than 520).

Can it be set in yacoin.conf ?
for example, check_hashes_of_last_blocks=777
with default value 2500

Not sure about the config file, but it can be set on command line, like this
Code:
./yacoind -checkblocks=1337

Also, I managed to fix the annoying #ifdef error in scrypt-jane library. Now it builds on Linux and Windoze without the need to manually edit the file.

Bump.

A little reminder for the rich list people: your fantastic holding won't be worth much if the coin is seriously hampered by a dysfunctional wallet.   Smiley

Seriously! I will match the first 2000 YAC's of the next large donation.  

Again, thanks to everyone who has already donated!

We have a working prototype of a new wallet ready. Not sure if it's bug-free, though. However, works for me so far.
You can get the latest windows binaries here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwa2lymjl6igh6q/yacoin-cc-latest.zip

Still waiting for the major stakeholders to toss us some coins, though. Wink

NOTE: you NEED to move/rename (backup) everything except wallet.dat and peers.dat in the yacoin data directory and then run yacoin with -loadblock=C:\blk0001.dat (assuming you put the blk0001.dat file in C:\). This is needed because we had to change the way blocks are indexed and now the wallet starts in LESS THAN 30 SECONDS (down from more than 30 minutes). However, this initial load will take somewhere around 2 hours (still faster than downloading it through the p2p network).

If you don't mind redownloading all the blocks, you can just remove the unneeded files and start yacoin normally (less hassle, but takes more time).

I think my small donation went through earlier. (Just waited a bit to bump this thread. Smiley )

Since I don't have much and am quite stingy on top of that, I'm only sending 30. Sorry.  Embarrassed

Any bit helps - thanks!

The wallet does need to speed up. These days on my PC, it takes about 30 minutes for the GUI to turn up and the POS minting uses up a whole CPU core on its own (my CPU only has 3 cores). I'm quite reluctant to run it these days. (Just started the qt client. Looks like I need hours to sync as well.)
