Title: [ANN][YACC] YACCoin 0.9.1.3 maintenace release

March 23rd, 2014 Maintenance Release

Highlights include:

* (2) addition checkpoint hashes for added blockchain protection
* Client version numbering change in order to allow us to track which client people are connecting with.  This will be incremented new versions become available.
* Protocol version increment.  This will occur anytime new checkpoint hashes are added.  This will allow us to force the wallet version should the blockchain ever fork.  Not a perfect solution to that problem, but we are confident it will help.
* Connection settings tightened up.  Connections will be banned after 16 abuses instead of the default 100, but only for 4 hours, vs, the default of 24 hours.
*  Connection age will be limited to 3 days in your peers.dat hopefully eliminating all the wasted time associated with trying to connect to someone who hasn't been on the net is a weeks.
*  10 connection failures over 2 days will be allowed vs. the default of over 7 days.

We believe the above changes should help speed up resyncs and reduce overhead of trying old, stale, connections as well as provide us some important debugging and control points should we need them in the future.

YACCoin History:

Since its original launch on February 12th, 2014, YACCoin has evolved.  We are now using the Kimoto Gravity Well for better control over difficulty, and have disabled UPNP for the protection of our user base.  Of course, as the block chain has grown, we have been adding additional checkpoint hash keys to protect it.  YACCoin has always been, and will always be, 100% IRC free.  Like disabling UPNP, our development team believes the use of the IRC network unnecessarily exposes our user base to potential security threats.

We are pleased to announce that YACCoin was chosen as the first of eight cyber coins to be used in the new upcoming 1BillionHex game.  Mine now and spend later in the game!  It will also be the first alt coin to be accepted for digital download payments on 1BillionHex.com.  https://www.1BillionHex.com/ (https://www.1BillionHex.com/)

YACCoin is simplicity itself for Windows users - just grab the executable and go.  No zip files or special directories needed.

CPU miners will find that the current YACCoin difficulty allows for successful CPU mining on a weekly timescale.   All mined blocks are rewarded with 1024 coins!  The development team continues to seek ways to reward CPU miners since they greatly enhance our network.  Please post your suggestions on our forum!

You won't ever have to worry about adding "Addnode=" statements into your configuration file either - The YACCoin network has multiple seed nodes and a fully functional DNSseed system enabling rapid, automatic, connections and syncing.

As all real developer based coins should have, YACCoin has a fully function -testnet network available if you wish to utilize it.

Of course, full source is maintained at https://github.com/yaccoin/yaccoin (https://github.com/yaccoin/yaccoin).

Windows, Mac OS, and Linux wallets are available at our official website in the download section, although we highly encourage Linux/Unix users to compile their own from the git source.

The YACCoin team believes that security, sustainability, and growth are the most important factors for the coin and are continuing to search and implement methods of improving all three.

Please come join us!

Cassey, lead YACCoin developer, on behalf of the entire YACCoin team.

Awesome coin. love what it represents

This will go far and wide.
Very stable network, in exchange voting.

Thanks for mentioning my pool in the main post.

This isnt another copycat forget-me coin. This coin has a long-term strategy with a dedicated team behind it both in terms of coding and community

Thank you Thank You.  Please talk your friends into downloading a wallet.  Network hashrate and difficulty is still low enough to CPU mine blocks/week - which is nice for people just wanting to get started.  Don't know how long that will last.

Seems we bottomed out  network hash rate rise over the weekend and are climbing back up again.

Where did the community go?  I feel so alone.

They are all over on the three exchanges having fun with the coin!

We were added to Poloniex last night.  Along with that was a new maintenance release, we are at 0.9.1.4 now so upgrade when you can!

how many premine?


Title: Re: [ANN][YACC] YACCoin 0.9.1.3 maintenace release
Post by: Cassey on May 05, 2014, 06:12:05 PM
We "premined" about 1000 blocks (1,024,000 coins) while establishing the block chain prior to going live.  Currently at 82518 blocks, so a drop in the bucket.  No special blocks either - its a clean coin (which you can confirm with the block chain viewer of your choice).

It was a choice... we wanted to establish a number of checkpoint records to help avoid any early forks which happen so often when fast zero-premine coins hit the market.  We believe it was the right choice, although our recent 1CRedit coin was 100% premine free.  Alas, it has much longer block times, and higher confirm counts, and was also not pre-announced, so has not had any problems.

Also clearly there is activity with this coin, wallet was just updated but why no coinmarketcap pages for YACC and 1CRedit?
