This is a problem between coin devs. Exchanges are simply markets, they should never get involved in coin politics and have no business forcing a coin to change their name.
That would be like BestBuy getting involved in the dispute between Apple and Samsung and trying to force Samsung to change their UI. It has absolutely nothing to do with BestBuy and they are right to stay out of it.
Exchanges are responsible for making sure their users are not being scammed. If I create a coin tomorrow and name it Bittcoin, and then get it listed on an exchange with the name Bittcoin -BCN, what is my intent? Also, BestBuy is a retail store. We're talking about something more akin to a stock exchange. So, it would be like adding an IPO of a company called AppIe AAPI (<-- that is a capital i ) on the Nasdaq and then telling investors, bully to you for not checking the name in gedit/notepad. By the community not regulating things like this, you/we are opening doors to big governments who use things like this to justify their taking things over. |

The Yacoin dev team has been congratulated by multiple users for Yacoin YAC being listed on Poloniex.
NOPE, that's YaCCoin YACC, a blatant scam/ripoff of our name.
Poloniex seems to be a reputable place, so they should either de-list YaCCoin YACC immediately, or, at a minimum require them to use a different name on the exchange.

What is the biggest problem that every altcoin, crypto-platform, crypto-project has no choice but to face?
Yacoin(Created 5/2013) -> YBcoin -> YACCoin -> Yocoin... etc. |
|

|

That is actually YaCCoin, a blatant ripoff/scam of Yacoin name.
In other news, I am working on a new coin called Bittcoin, hopefully we can get it listed on Poloniex.

I believe that the theorem(s) should be chosen by the user base. Could be done by a poll on this website.

Any coin that sets out to do something more useful than solely making it's creators rich in Bitcoin is worth pursuing. Primecoin somewhat touched on some of the concepts you have described, though it sounds like you want to expand on that concept greatly.

I had 80btc years ago that I sold on trade hill for around $2 each likewise with LTC, had 18000 that I mined from day one and sold for around $150  Thanks for making me less depressed about my mistakes! |

Lots of good news coming up. People are working hard in the background.
When will be new versoin of wallet? Hopefully in the next few months. |

This is for testing. We are hoping to release 0.4.5 "soon" as in, when we're done testing  In the meantime, everyone should be using 0.4.4 |

What if Satoshi doesn't actually know they are Satoshi due to a MPD? This would certainly be a great way to remain anonymous. If that is the case, any one of us here could be Satoshi and not even know it |

Peercoin (PoS originator) doesn't get enough credit due to the shitcoin flood that happened and continues to happen.
Yacoin (3rd PoS and Scrypt-N and SHA3 originator) has suffered from the same thing.

OP, just change the title of this thread to Bitcoin has died N times +1 and we'll be all set |

But on the other hand YACoin is not updating (wallet, sites, markets, etc.).
We are actually. Major updates will be coming once all devs are happy with testing results. If anyone wants to make changes to the website, send a request to https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin.orgAs for twitter... yes I'm pretty bored with it, but will update when there is some news! As for bitcointalk... yes I'm also pretty bored with it, but will update when there is some news! |

So pool is looking good now? Do we have any others that I should promote?
|
|
|

All we need is more pools and more hashrate.
More pools is for DDoS protection.
More hashrate is for no orphan blocks.
Welcome to the new YACoin Club Pool : yac.yacoin.clubLet's Play! Due to the constant DDoS-attacks I have to temporarily shut down the stratum server. I hope to solve the problem in the near future. Withdrawal from the pool is working. Let me know when your pool is ready and I will promote it on the website and twitter. @Ron - Thanks for the pull request, I am looking at it now. I would like to see if we can get it working for all clients though. Maybe we can find a universal class for the RAII socket connect? |

I think we can manage the hasrate if we try harder
If you all wanna try to ghet the network back by overpower the hasrate
count me in
I mine solo whit 7khs
and i have a public pool running also
so let do it ?
What is your pool address again? I will put it on the website and tweet it out as well. You'll need to (hopefully) be ready for any high volume that comes in. Also, probably getting ddosed. |

What we have is an arms race where one entity has a nuclear bomb while the rest of us have rocks and sticks. We need more rocks and sticks!
Finally you're starting to make sense. |

YACoin was always intended to be a CPU coin. Now that it has become a CPU coin we want to change it? That's nuts!
That's actually the problem. After the last NFactor change, (as you mentioned) Yacoin is for the most part a CPU only coin now. A huge majority of the network was POW mining using GPU's before that, which was a disaster waiting to happen. Someone is currently using a botnet or something similar to make a lot of BTC trading YAC for CNY on Bter. They seem to have had this calculated and ready way before we moved to NF 17, so bully for them I suppose. So yes, whatever change we implement to fix this issue will have to take into account that, going forward, Yacoin is essentially a CPU only coin. |

Nothing more than a comment that reveals your maturity level.
Actually, THIS reveals my maturity level... but thanks for playing   Anyway, I am not going to make/pull ANY changes, unless there is a consensus, so don't be too worried about my posts. I am annoyed like all of you about the current situation. We should ask Cryptsy and Bter especially to de-list Yacoin until this is resolved. |

As long as *MINER is devoting more resources to mining than at least 50% of the rest of the network, there is nothing that can be done EXCEPT THE COMMUNITY DEVOTING MORE RESOURCES THAN *MINER, that will prevent *MINER from controlling the network. This is a universal truth for all *coin(s) Senj's changes will not fix this, Gavin's changes will not fix this, Satoshi's changes will not fix this. The fact that many of you have now committed to no longer mine and/or stake while waiting for a wallet change that you think will fix the issue is certainly making it look like " all over red-rover" to me though.
In the words of the CREATOR of PoW/PoS, "Controlling 51% of hashing power in ppcoin network does not get you direct control of block chain". It concerns me that as a 'main developer' you don't understand the basic concept of PoW/PoS. You are right (by luck it seems) that if you control both PoW AND PoS, then it will take sheer resources to overcome that attack. utc.tumblingblock.com has well over 50% of the network hashrate for ultracoin, yet I can solo mine ultracoin and have little or no problem with orphans at this very moment. I also need to explain to you a very basic concept of how mining works... If it takes more resources (energy cost) to mine a coin, than what you receive in rewards, then it really doesn't make sense to keep mining it does it? At that point, it would be make sense (more cost effective) to buy coins on an exchange. I don't have enough resources at this moment to overcome the attack, but if you understood PoS/PoW, you would know it shouldn't take a lot. I have multiple PoS inputs trying to stake (unsuccessfully) every single day. If the community as a whole is unable to gather the resources to thwart *MINER, then possible the best move at this point, is to follow YbCoin's lead and move to POS only.
In my book, you lose all intellectual credibility with this statement. I have expanded my rigs, which means I have invested more risk and more capital, to help secure the network. I also have large inputs of PoS trying to stake every single day. Luckily, senj understands the issue. *MINER doesn't control 50, 51, 52% of the hashing power they control enough to do whatever they want and dump for CNY on Bter. To that end.... why wouldn't they do it? The Yacoin community is composed mostly of folks such as yourself who seem to have no idea of what it actually going on and then try to bully other opinions out. You've probably already scared off a bunch of people already who could have helped the overall effort. YOU HAVE NO OPTION OF DOING THAT TO ME Not in this realm or any other. It seems that now that times are difficult you are doing more harm than good. That's not to say that you haven't been helpful in the past, but I have more Bitcoin and time in Yacoin than you do If the community as a whole is unable to gather the resources to thwart *MINER, then possible the best move at this point, is to follow YbCoin's lead and move to POS only.
In my book, you lose all intellectual credibility with this statement.
In the book of reality, this is probably the best option at this point. If the community, including yourself, cannot defeat the attack that is under way, than this (POS only) is what I am going to start concentrating on. You're certainly free to create your own coin and have the dictatorship that you seem to want. Next bullshit post from you that doesn't offer anything useful or constructive, earns you a place on my ignore list. |
