I wrote a very small bit on the introducing article, but I wasn't able to do proper references so I didn't get much (actually anything worth mentioning) done. I have currently absolutly no time for YAC at all, but I hope the giveaway thread for promotion from Joe will get things done there.

I don't think writing a benchmark programm for YAC would help atm. There are far more important things to work on now.
(mining profitability is one of them)

Your time and effords on YAC are very important (and you really do deserve all your bounties to make you a fortune) for it, but this has to be magnitudes easier to access the mining profitability info for outsiders. I'm currently experiencing that a day doesn't have 50hr to work, although I would really need this time for my crypto investments to avoid most expensive mistakes...

Once you got to a point where someone could easy copy your data without knowing anything about YAC we could put up a little bounty for someone to make a decent hompage for YAC. That's found easier than someone that can handle yacexplorer.com and code on yacoin-qt.

It doesn't have to be calculated or exact.

A few people posting how their specific card handles YAC compared to LTC would be enough. Just a hint for people that are not interrested in YAC itself yet. Once they started to mine some of them will think more about it and we get new members.

The current version of benchmake your card, calculating it yourself to the "junkcoins" who happen to be the most profitable and selling into a very illiquid market is asked far too much for someone that mines for money and not for YAC. He just doesn't care about the effords and go with an easier alternative....  

This doesn't help YAC if our miners make more money just because they have less competition.

I don't think this is fullfilled yet.

There needs to be a way for a miner to find it's (rough) kh/s in YAC without actually having to mine YAC first.
We need to attrackt new people, not exclude them. Having said that I let Beave decide on this. I have no time.

Bitcoin should be at 1trillion USD, or better said Dollars should be worthless. I've seen enough shit it stocks to say it doesn't matter what should be. That's not how the world rolls.


I think we entered Phase 3, where (Very) Smart Money begins to flows into altcoins from people without a programming background. Bitcoin is far ahead since it's already beginning to attrackt institutional investors. These ain't dump and won't stick so much to exlusively BTC than people previously did. Once they begin to see altcoins we are going to see a hell of a ride (especially YAC if it's still alive by then)

YAC is still the best currency if you look at economical features so I expect it to take it's fair share of Smart and Institutional Money once it got noticed. So far even Bitcoin is run by amateurs (look at the exchanges and compare them with f.e. COMEX), but this will have to change for crypto to survive.

Sorry, I can't help you.

I think it's just implemented not efficiently and normal users are usually not effected since they don't have that many inputs and/or a weak PC. For most people sendig it to a new adress should fix it. My netbook had it's first issues like this at around 120 transactions and currently it's not even capable of PoS minting.

That's easy.

You only need to trust someone if he has benefits from acting against your interrests. I don't see this here and even if you weren't honest I would be very surpriced if you steal 1kYAC now although you could have easily stolen 50kYAC from me long time ago. Even after the recent raise I'd still trust you with 50kYAC if I had to.

@Sairon:
You do know that there are like 60 cryptos to mine out there, right? EDIT: xD

If you hadn't posted here I would probably have forgotten about this pledge.
To prevent that I send my pledge of 5kYAC:

97d140523519a8bfb2774fe97a6c44ac2b3ecb4e74288a8efaac1b4e062f21bf

2kYAC are currently a bit more than 8.20$  , so I hope you can make something out of it.
Best would be that you never spend the last 25% (in USD) so if those increase you have more money to giveaway.

Yes with PoS transactions.
My little netbook had the first issues at ~200transactions and at my current ~500 it's not useable at all. As long as it was working I didn't care about startup time, but now it's not even capable of PoS minting.

I'd guess I triggered it.

After I had grabed a nice amount of YAC for cheap I spend around 0.1BTC on a market buy. With the orderbook that thin people freaked out and realized the time of so extreme desperate sellers is over.
I hope they will come back though.

EDIT: seems to be a phenomen of all altcoins at the moment.
Smart money is begining to flow into altcoins.

I totally agree, I wish I knew that bevor I went 100% on altcoins.

Having the oportunity to buy into an oversold altcoin market could make serious money if you know what you are doing. That's noting I'd advice for people who haven't traded something like forex bevor they heard about bitcoins though.

I wouldn't advice betting on such ...

With all profesional money beginning to flow into the market it's not sure they wouldn't buy most of the correction. People then paniking that they won't be able to buy back their gamble on a correction and we could see some extreme spike after a fake correktion. Once professionals decided at the price where they would buy the whole market we won't ever see prices below that.

Only god knows if todays price is below or far far above it. The only huge mistake you can make on bitcoin is not beeing invested at all. You wouldn't like to addmit your mistake and would wait even longer. Humans tink very alike and once you bought anyways most other people did too. That could be the ATH just bevor the coming correction.

It's stupid to risk a fortune for having a bigger fortune when you are currently broke.
Go cost averaging or similiar methods. You can't be smarter than the market if you are the market!

I think you should rethink these terms more carefully, I assume you both ran in some non-obvios pitfalls.
My assumtion could be wrong though, so if you agree with my example I was wrong.

Speculation is a bet on the future price. A seculator is not interrested to actually onw it and prefers a cash out. He never wanted to actually have it. All he cares is the difference buyprice sellprice and interrest between those. He wants to sell/buy as often as he can, more trades --> better.

Investment is buying something so you can enjoy it's benefits of owning it. The target here are just those benefits, not a price increase. A investor wouldn't sell only because prices increased, that's not what he cares about. He cares where he could get the most benefits for his current wealth.
Less trades are better since they cost money/time/effords. If it's profitable he will do it though.


Both of troy112's example fit both categories.

No, of course not.

For my investment in housing I want someting that pays me interrest (rents). This can be that grandson's house or any other house. I don't care if I have THAT house so I'd love to sell it for more than what I would have to pay to get a house with the same rents.

In that case I'd sell* and use the money to buy 2 similiar houses. That's doubling my wealth although I don't have more USD in the bank later.

I'm not giving advice on something I know nothing about.

*)or let him pay twich that much rent, although that's not possible in my jurisdiction.

Not 100%ly secure, but your online client is so damm unsecure it's insane to use or offer it at all.

I don't want to trashtalk my investment here, but from my perspective you all have shown far too little sensitivity for security to run a closed source project with such enomous requirements on security. If you can't fix the perspective from outsiders about your security effords noone would buy any of your coins.

I don't think you are, but you do look very incompetent on this for an outsider.

Change your altitude towards security, and stop to offer help in a way that rings every alarm bell on everyone with brains. Requesting keys via PM is a nice way to help people, but if I had read something like that bevor I wouldn't have bought any coins at all. The way you handled the initial distribution is extemly incompetent and I don't even see how others could check the whole initial block. Asking someone to set up a VPN so you could configure his machine is madness!

Thank you for your help.

Thank you.
Is this urgend to do soon or can I leave it the way it is and maby sell them later as "virgin coins"?

How are these account id's generated or are these like bankaccounts?
Is there a way for me to get one offline and without running closedsource software?

...
And then in hashes per cardlivetime since a card won't work for ever.
...
And then by cards needed for 1 hash.
...
And then will will have a PoS-only coin.

That's not an acceptable way for me.

I'm not going to PM anyone besides maby the dev. directly such information. I don't know how this coin works or if you are even trustworthy. The best I can do is publicly post here the following:

Account "XXX" = XXX XNT
was sent by the adress BTC XXX and a link to blcokexplorer. With that I can sign a message that states that I'm the owner of these coin and on what adress I want them to be sent to. For that I would need to know how to generate adresses or set up a VM to run the client.

That's pretty much work for a investment <100$ and surely wasn't as like:

Do you really expect everyone to follow each and every altcoin they are invested in?!

For every other method I will have to spend time even more time to research how this coin works and if you are even trusted by BCNext to act in this way. That's nothing personal against you, but the internet isn't a place you can trust people with money.
