Would it be possible to implement alterations of blockchain sequences according to timestamp like this: only POW blocks would be accepted by clients every day except on saturday when one hour would be allowed for only PoS blocks sequence.
That one hour would be extended by another hour or similar every week, so gradually PoS would replace PoW along with coin being distributed to increasing number of people.
If people would like to collect PoS revenue they would have to open their wallets all at once and "flood" the net.
As yacoin gets distributed to more people this flooding time would get extended until it happens all the time and takes it's proper function.
I said 1 hour on saturday - but it could be any day and duration determined upfront, for example 15 minutes every day or every third day or when N increments...
I think Nfactor change should get used for any incremental phasing out of functionality not needed anymore - be it dynamic active weight calculation or something else temporarily needed.
Ha - I was actually thinking about this a few days ago, and still haven't been able to find an obvious exploit. |

Good thing I copied it all and added to yacoin.org before it was deleted  I also setup a redirect to your explorer page (explorer.yacoin.org) as was done on yacointalk. |

Balthazar, thanks very much for your input!  So, what does everyone thing we should do? I think if something isn't agreed upon soon, it may be a good idea to just rebase YAC to the latest NVC source. |

Peercoin is using the centralized checkpointing approach as far as I can tell.
It is, as well as NVC. If we can find a way to both avert this issue, AND not implement centralized checkpointing (which I also don't agree with), it would be a great way to distinguish YAC even more. Of course Sunny King is pretty fucking brilliant and probably pondered this forever, so that may still be the only way  I'm trying to stay out of this debate (another way to avoid centralized "checkpointing" ) but we really need to do something soon. I think a Feb 1st hard fork date, as mentioned before would be sufficient though. |

Unless someone comes up with a better idea soon, I think we should implement the Novacoin solution to fix this problem.
There are .5 BTC and 10,000 YAC's in the dev fund for whoever can implement this fix asap.

I believe "e e e" translates to this in binary:
01010111 01001000 01011001 01000001 01010010 01000101 01011001 01001111 01010101 01001110 01001111 01010100 01001101 01001001 01001110 01001001 01001110 01000111 01011001 01000001 01000011 01001111 01001001 01001110 01001001 01001110 01010011 01010100 01000101 01000001 01000100 00111111

OK, I updated the link on yacoin.org to point to aws. Let me know when you want to change it back. |

For YACoin, please correct the following.
Yet Another altCoin. NovaCoin fork, with modified scrypt hashing
should be
Your Alternative Currency. NovaCoin fork, with modified scrypt hashing.
or if you have the room.
Your Alternative Currency. Originated Scrypt(N, 1, 1). Also uses SHA-3/Keccak-512 & ChaCha20/8
Thanks, but I cant find the name change. official launch still says yet another altcoin, the unofficial thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=206577.0 just uses YAC. can You provide the source? Here it is. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281595.0 |

The one issue with all of this is that Dogecoin has been incredibly positive for the cryptocurrency community. Do you realize how many new people Dogecoin has brought into the market? We have people who have never given cryptocurrencies a second thought before lining up to buy Dogecoin. Many of these people will get involved with other cryptocurrencies as well, which is beneficial to the entire community.
I think with its $10,000,000 market cap, it's past the point where we can consider it a brilliant marketing gimmick or an experiment. It's spreading like wildfire throughout social media, the news, and even in person. I go to local bitcoin meetups regularly and it's all people are talking about.
I guess we'll just have to see. It's certainly possible that at some point Dogecoin will go out of style or fade away, but right now it has the momentum it needs to continue growing at an exponential rate.
Or, it's a 21st century Pavlovian Dog(e) experiment that will (once the novelty/meme wears off) condition all those "new people" to associate all cryptocurrencies as a novelty. Hopefully you're right in what will certainly be a flood of meme coins being positive and staying positive for the community, but I highly doubt it. In the memetime... (  ) I personally can't wait to invest everything I own into DingFriesAreDoneCoin!!! |

Warning: Trade with extreme caution! You have got to be kidding me. Click on his Trust: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=181768Some schmuck gave him negative trust for no reason, that's all. If that's the case, the trust system should be fixed. My point is, Dogecoin is at best: 1) A (brilliant) marketing gimmick and socioeconomic/game theory experiment. 2) Intentionally created by an outside party that views all cryptocurrencies as a threat and is intended to shed a negative light (trickling all the way to BTC) on all of them once the initial "joke" wears off. 3) Both. |

Why not look into one of the established proof of stake coins like YACoin, Peercoin and Novacoin, that actually provide something more than a marketing gimmick?

Hey Thirtybird I tried to mine with your cpuminer,I have intel i7 and I use minerd corei7! When I use -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -O WorkerName:WorkerPassword I get actual processor power which is 25kh/s but accepted shares are invalid but when I use -a scrypt-jane -q -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -O worker:worker_pass shares are valid but my power is 0.07kh/s ! please help!
If you use the '-a scrypt' flag, you're computer is mining using the scrypt algorithm instead of the scrypt-jane algorithm. YAC uses scrypt-jane, so you will have to use the '-a scrypt-jane' flag to have valid shares. The decrease in mining speed is normal. YAC uses the 'N-factor' which increases the hash length, and helps keep the coin resistant to ASICs and other specialized mining software. If you use '-a scrypt-jane' and you're still not getting accepted shares, try using the '-a yacoin' flag. I know some of the miners use this instead. @ Marinowner, keep in mind that everyone with your setup will also get ~0.07kh/s so it's a relative number. |

Since we now have a new version of wallet (thanks to developers) which fixes the major problem of extremely long startup time, I think you should upload this version to the official yacoin github... What do you think?
A link to sairon's build is here - https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases but if you mean adding the file as an attachment that can be downloaded directly from github, I can add that if it's helpful. |

I have just installed the new wallet and I can confirm that with 1078 transactions in my wallet, after the first run it starts in less than 30 seconds, awesome. Thanks again!
Great to hear! |

On a side note, to all of the exciting software updates, it looks like someone put together a nice YACoin wikipedia page. As of last week we still didn't have one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YacoinIt a good overview; I'll try to add more detail to it this afternoon. I thought I would share with it with the rest of you in case if anyone else wanted to add anything.  Awesome! That's one if the things I was going to get done with the promotion fund, so if anyone can take credit for this, I will send you some YAC's. As I said on yacointalk, without media coverage and some "references"* this is wasted effords. Untill we haven't a few articles on mainstream media we have better things to focus on. If someone really wants to write a wikipedia article go to yacoinwiki.tk *by their standard hard to reach Agreed, we definitely need to get a mainstream media presence, but social media is just as (more?) important. As far as I know, YAC still doesn't have a Facebook page If we get the word out about YAC to enough of the masses, mainstream media will at best not matter; at worst, approach us. Word of mouth will always trump spoon fed. To that end, the best grassroots approach I've seen so far is from indiamikezulu over at yacointalk, and if he has his way, YAC might eventually replace the AUD  |

I tried the new QT wallet and it's much better. It takes less than a minute to start on a Core2Duo PC now.  Previously, when I unlock the wallet for POS minting, it'd use a whole core all the time and the wallet would become very unresponsive. With this version, when doing POS, it spends less time occupying a whole core and the wallet is much more responsive. I have about 300 transactions in the wallet. Good work, thanks. Awesome! So we can also mark issue #3 as solved! Should anybody feel generous, see my signature. maybe when you post some binaries with the new logo I'll send some more sairon, if you want to compile them, everything is merged to https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/tree/testingI also plan to release binaries for the official release of 0.4.1, but if everyone would like them for testing, I can do that as well if sairon doesn't have time. The main question is do we want to move to 0.4.1 before issue 2 is fixed, as that may take some time. |
