general UI slowness?
From what I have gathered from the posts of those that are having the issue, this seems to be the case - which is why I originally thought it may be a problem in the way Qt is handling things. Hopefully that is not the case and issue 1 and 3 were both fixed in one shot! The best way to verify would be to test both yacoin-qt and yacoind for responsiveness. |

There's a really simple solution to all of this called "options" with an exercise date at least one year after the coin is released. This would eliminate ALL pump n dump crap coins.
Hi Joe_Bauers, sorry for my naivety of economics but I'd love a layman's explanation of this. A dev would be able to allocate a small amount of coins upon creation, but they would't be able to spend them for a specified period of time - say 1 year. This way, the dev would have a vested interest in the coin. I suppose really this is more similar to a bond. True (call) options also have to be above a certain value (strike price) on the exercise date to be redeemed. This could also be incorporated into a coin, though not as easily. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_(finance) |

only if dev is less greedy and willing to do it  It's up to the community to not support coins in the future that don't apply this incredibly simple concept. What's happening now is no different than if Steve Jobs (or insert any CEO) sold all of his stock in AAPL within the first week after the company went public. Hint: Apple would no longer be trading on any exchange or even be around if that happened  |

Thanks to everyone for your donations so far! Special thanks to St. Bit for your very generous donation!

Can anyone confirm whether fixing #1 issue also fixed #3 (slow with lots of transactions)?
I was thinking the same thing. That would be a nice benefit of the fix for #1  |

Were you working from an older scrypt-jane library? FloodyBerry fixed some problems with it that caused some compile errors a few months ago.
That's quite possible, haven't checked. No, all of the floodberry changes should be current in YAC. This was due to an extern C added to fix some linkage issues with the mingw compile. Unfortunately, that caused some problems with other builds so logic was added to only apply if windoze and not Qt. |

Bump. A little reminder for the rich list people: your fantastic holding won't be worth much if the coin is seriously hampered by a dysfunctional wallet.  Seriously! I will match the first 2000 YAC's of the next large donation. Again, thanks to everyone who has already donated! |

Just asking for information. No donations.
Fu*k that - Satoshi, please send me just 1/100000th of your total BTC You don't use them anyway, and I really want to buy a Tesla and go on a suborbital spaceflight. Thanks. |

Since I don't have much and am quite stingy on top of that, I'm only sending 30. Sorry.  Any bit helps - thanks! |

Reminder - will send over 500 when I get 15 mins
edit - 500 sent
Awesome thanks! Now it's time for some of you high rollers to dust off your wallets and at least match my 5000 |

I don't really have many YAC (you've already donated way more than I hold in total) but would be prepared to commit to adding a percentage of what I mine and/or receive in bounties. I have solid experience recruiting and managing a workforce on oDesk and am more than happy to help facilitate that side of things.
Thanks for the support and offer! It looks like sairon has already found someone that will fix the startup time issue, but I will definitely let you know if we need help on the other issues. |

Per some thoughts on this site and yacointalk, and a discussion between sairon and I, we're starting a YACoin development fund. The plan is to bring on some help to fix the two outstanding issues that we are currently experiencing so that YAC can move forward to being on of the top alt coins, which as we all know, is certainly where YACoin should be. The issues that will be resolved with the funds are: 1) The dreadfully slow startup time. 2) The POS causes POW orphan issue mentioned here http://yacointalk.com/index.php/topic,473.msg2038.html#msg20383) The very slow response time when more then 200 transaction are in a wallet. I am going to start the donation at 5000 YAC's Please donate to: Y3ywBHyjs6tRk5M8hA6s3y2FxNpDsMzstx Edit: Or if you prefer BTC 15qUzhfiMzweuVUyoc8rdX7G1sARSTz48A |

(waits for someone to come one up me.)  This one time in band camp... |

I was able to compile this for x64 using the instructions I posted and it mines against yac.coinmine.pl with stratum support just fine. PMed you about syncing code as it looks like it was taken from farther back in history than the version I work with.

A few days ago, once YAC's price jumped higher than a quarter, I realized I had already made more than a hundred bucks mining Yacoins with my old desktop.
All of the alts dropped when BTC did, but now that it's back over $1000 YAC has not yet caught up to where it was before, so great time to buy right now in my opinion! |

The only genuine ones that I can think of to offer something new (I may have missed some) that were created during the time of the Great 2013 Shitflood of Crap Coins are:
Anoncoin
Primecoin
YACoin

Backup your current data folder including wallet.dat Go into current folder and delete everything except for wallet.dat Wait for blockchain to download. Keep your 100 YAC bounty |
