Quote from: Hazard on June 07, 2013, 03:03:15 PM There is nothing that forces people to use the coin on the darknet. Therefore that is not a feature. First of all - I think this is a great idea and congrats to the dev(s) for getting this out there... Second, I plan to release Torcoin within the next month which will do just that... https://github.com/sciencecoin/sciencecoin/commit/7c40c351477c5415efa9b8e0e6b0f7a0bc3b5336

After looking at the bitcoin pull request, it looks like the main concern is, has enough testing been completed to implement such a potentially (though not likely) dangerous feature.

Quote from: fendlestick on June 18, 2013, 02:29:40 PM Auto updater included please. That would be a cool feature for all coins to implement. The problem would be determining what everyone should update to - the only way (since centralization is not an option) to do something like that that I can think of is a P2P consensus on what is the newest client.

Quote from: Remember remember the 5th of November on June 18, 2013, 02:11:56 PM Quote from: larem on June 18, 2013, 02:05:37 PM Quote from: Sahtor on June 18, 2013, 02:04:29 PM yacoin-qt can stake just as well as yacoind. The process is completely automatic. Ahhh, got ya. Thanks, . So keeping the client open as much as possible is needed... but the only PC I have running 24/7 is my mining one, and based on what I read elsewhere that wouldn't be a good match since staking needs CPU power? PoS aims to be as power efficient as possible. It is mining, yes, but it's using FAR LESS cycles than regular mining. Basically, you won't even notice it. Usually less than 5% CPU from what I have seen.

To give Bitcoin back to the majority of Bitcoiners I hereby propose to change the hashing algorithm to Scrpyt-Jane. Why not just create a new competing currency and let the free market choose? Someone already did - it's called YACoin.

Quote from: WindMaster on June 13, 2013, 02:01:08 PM Thanks YacLives and Bitcoin Megastore for your debug logs. PoS blocks 91036 and 91037 were staked by someone operating off-network (whether intentionally or unintentionally) and then reintroduced to the network, triggering the reorg and orphaning 75 blocks. Anyone here have really good familiarity with the Novacoin PoS code? Good to hear I didn't break YACoin...

Quote from: Aggrophobia on June 13, 2013, 03:39:22 PM any news here? Not much. I've been working on a few smaller projects, which once complete, will help me add some dev funding to ScienceCoin. Obviously this can't be a fork of anything currently available, so I really need a team to help build this, or it's going to take many more months before a beta version can be released.

That way we can capitalize on the hashrate we still have left and get better feedback and less stale shares. I looked at this very briefly a few days ago and it looks like it could be adapted to YACoin if someone has time to spend a few hours on it https://github.com/CryptoManiac/stratum-mining

A public GPU miner is only going to add miners to YAC, which, in my opinion is a good thing. I have a few GPU rigs and ALL of them have the absolute worst, yet most power efficient CPU's - so, not viable for YAC mining. Now that I can point some of them at YACoin, I can get back in the game. I'm guessing it's the same for many. Also, as WM already mentioned, the performance difference isn't like any other scrypt implementations - so for those that have good CPU's, mining is also still viable for them.

Quote from: Thirtybird on June 02, 2013, 05:52:31 PM I do not - I was troubleshooting one compile error I was getting in scrypt-jane-romix-template.h, and it was giving me one line number, and when I compared it to floodyberry's, it was 10 lines off. There was some other commented out lines in the file as well so I decided to just use his repository without looking at the rest of the differences. Sorry mate. Damn - I wish I didn't waste the time to surgically add the changes from floodyberry to the existing YAC files as it seems a copy/paste of the full repo is what works. Meh WM - I git cloned YAC, removed all of the existing scrypt-jane-master libs and replaced them with all of floodyberry's. Everything compiled and runs fine in Linux, and from what Thirtybird mentioned above, Windows as well. I'm not sure why pocopoco didn't include all of scrypt-jane-master into YAC, but it appears that by removing some files, he may have screwed up some dependencies, or something. I propose you check it out and if you think everything looks good, to add all of scrypt-jane-master to YACoin.

Quote from: Thirtybird on June 02, 2013, 02:33:22 AM Quote from: Thirtybird on June 01, 2013, 10:48:50 PM Nope. I wonder if all the people who are having success are compiling on Windows 7 x64 - I've been working on x86. I even went so far as to pull WindMaster's code, then pull the new scrypt-jane from floodyberry and then put in cryptrol's exact makefile.mingw (changing library paths as needed), and I still got the exact same errors I was getting. My makefile.mingw was nearly identical to the ones posted here, so when I get a chance, I'll spin up an x64 VM and run through the same process and see if the results are any different - there may be something wrong in the x86 library that is working in the x64 library. UPDATE: apparently I just needed a good night sleep - yacoind.exe is done on x86 and x64. Joe_Bauers - your github copy was not complete... some files were different, and the big thing even I was missing was that the files in scrypt-jane (not just scrypt-jane/code) needed to be replaced. Once that was done, my next make suceeded (both in DOS using mingw32-make and under msys using make). I think it would be correct at this time to add floodyberry's latest update to the yacoin src and replace the makefile.mingw with cryptrol's. Once I get through the qt portion, I'll document my build steps so we can include them Great news! Do you have a list of the files that weren't complete? There were a few files that were never added by pocopoco, so maybe they need to be in YAC?

I you are trying to build yacoind on windows you will find out a lot of errors because of the windows makefile (makefile.mingw) is untouched from novacoin, so the new scrypt version is not getting compiled (blame pocopoco).
