I've got some to sell, but price has to be right.

I agree. YAC will probably just come out stronger after this. The source is clean, I didn't check the prebuilt binaries but I would be surprised if they were infected. As always people should be running these new clients in a VM though.
i run it on windows, and have no issue, all my wallets ar encripted, but the YAC one isn't, if there will be something, atleast my yak wallet should be clean... So, i think that the other altcoiners, just seen who many attention this coin is making, and taking it form other alts, so they just want to kill this coin, but they're not going to succed xD It's pretty obvious that this was a direct attack on YaCoin due to it's success. They probably wanted to lower the price by scaring people off. Agreed, YaCoin just comes out looking stronger. Some folks with some security skills should liase with zhaojundong about securing the website (and protecting from DDOS). Also he needs to get the YaCoin binaries onto Github or source forge, with some sha1 checksums next to the downloads (so people can verify the files have not been modified by any baddies). Just my 2 cents. |

Some folks should organise together and see about getting some online shops to accept YaCoin for payment.
Perhaps a bounty is required?

The proposed proof-of-work algorithm doesn't sound at all like a good idea to me - I suspect it would prove to be even worse than Litecoin's scrypt.
Are there details on your proof-of-stake implementation?
Time will tell. So far so good. |

I have removed the windows client download link from yacoin.org before allthing is clean
When you put the binary back, make sure you host it on your own webserver instead. Also put the binary's sha1 digest at the bottom of the about page. |

Anyone know of any shops accepting YAC for payment?
|
|

How about a bounty for shops accepting YAC?
|
|
|
|
|
LOL. This already doesn't sound very good.
Why doesn't anyone focus on actually getting one of these new _faster_ and more fair altcoins accepted at some shops?

FACT: YAC fear mongering is a testament to YAC's success. They want it.

No bitcoins stollen from me either.
All this YAC fear mongering is actually a testament to its success.

FUD until proper proof. Stop making 1000 topics.
its not FUD, its TRUTH ! Yet none of the people making the claims are posting any evidence. Just claims and links to bitcoin addresses with a lot of BTC that is supposed to be stolen. Firewall / Wireshark screenshots would be helpful. Indeed. Even bitcoin foundation member thinks it's likely FUD. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202047.msg2109719#msg2109719We shall see. |

Your YAC p2p software will be making tons of connections to tons of random peers in the network. What's so special about netne.net?
I suspect either FUD OR someone broke into server hosting the binaries and put a backdoor binary in.
YAC Devs--- You need to investigate and make official response and get clean binaries uploaded.
Let's see some action to these claims.

|
|
|
Is this true?
Please send output of AV scan and fiddler dumps.
Devs, if this is true, you need to get clean binaries hosted securely on gihub or yacoin.org ASAP, then make an annoucement.
First step, confirmation this is true and not just a scare tactic.
I've clamav scanned and not found anything.

Gotta get binaries hosted somewhere other than mega.co.nz. They should probably be hosted on yacoin.org with SHA digests published there and elsewhere. |
|
|

Agreed. They website needs further work. The bounty was only 300 YAC. I suggest someone create a new bounty and solicit someone to work more on the website, thus making it more distinguishable. |

OK - After 6 days I can confirm that YAC is amazing! We are now 6 days after the launch. The difficulty is reasonably high and I'm currently still able to solo CPU mine. This makes me think YaCoin _is_ actually keeping its promise about being GPU resistant. 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. Therefore, there's a second wave of CPU profitability coming up soon on may 14th and I am fully intending to mine at that time. 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. Brilliant!

It's possible and not difficult to mine YAC with GPU, at least for the first 1-3 month.
be safe to trade.
and the proof is where? look into the source plz, Nfactor will be less than 10 for a long time. they have plenty time to modify cgminer before launch, and the short block interval helps them a lot too, u see too many orphons aha, but what about their server cluster at the very begining? Well, not really. By long time you mean 9 days (in which there's no port of a GPU miner), then yes. May 14, N=64, 8Kb May 17, N=128, 16Kb May 20, N=256, 32Kb May 29, N=512, 64Kb I am still solo mining blocks on CPU, there's no way this thing is being GPU mined yet. I have _never_ been able to solo mine on CPU 6 days after the launch of a popular altcoin. So, in my view, YaCoin is delivering on it's promise. I can't wait to see what happens on May 14th. In theory the amount of YAC I mine should increase and GPUs are slowed down. Better stop whinging and start mining before you miss the next wave of CPU minable coins on the 14th. |
