I was doing some digging, and saw that there were commits to scrypt-jane a couple weeks ago labelled as "fixes so it will compile and run under mingw" - if you pulled that, could we get updated Windows binaries and get them posted? https://github.com/floodyberry/scrypt-janeOnly one way to find out! I will add the changes to my repo and you (or someone with Windows) can test from there - if everything looks good I will send a pull request to WM to request that it's added. Keep me updated on what happens there. If you're working on it, I'll work on other things. I had blocked out some time during the weekend to look at the updated commits to scrypt-jane and see about cranking out a full Windows installer package. If you check on the scrypt-jane update and whether it fixes Windows builds, I'll concentrate on the other things that need to get wrapped up. OK, all of floodyberry's changes have been merged to https://github.com/joebauers/yacoin.git I compiled in Debian and everything still works great. *** Someone with windows will need to see if they can get everything compiled from my changes. *** Note: That https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin is what everyone will want to use for Production builds - https://github.com/joebauers/yacoin.git is just to test the changes from floodyberry.

NOTE: No binaries are posted at this point. You'll need to build from source from my GitHub repository during these early stages of development. Windows client build is still problematic, as the scrypt-jane library does not compile cleanly with mingw.

So - did you get everything working? I don't care about the bounty.
I gave up. I do not have times nor nerves to mess with GNU/Linux, every damn shit I want to do means dealing with retarded command lines and even more retarded error messages. There are GUI's for everything you need to do above - synaptic and there is one for git too I believe.... But ya - if you want a point/click/shoot solution, Debian might not be the place to start. You would have really enjoyed installing it from floppies back in the day methinks.

What I think we need next TBH is a proper mining program with stratum support. 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

I wouldn't be surprised if eventually an implementation for GPUs came along that was optimized and destroyed CPUs for efficiency and speed.
+1 There's no way to [proof] proof anything forever... Unless WM wants to spend the time/effort to constantly try to stay ahead of GPU implementations... Personally, I don't see a reason why eventual mass GPU YACoin mining would do anything but strengthen YAC as it did for LTC. Besides, there are going to be "lots" of vid cards sitting around looking for something to do once ASIC's completely take over Bitcoin.

how exactly do you mine this coin with the wallet, I am 28 pages through and I am yet to find anything remotely close to an explanation.
I have yacoin-qt up and running but there i no mining tab as there is with litecoin for example.
or does it only appear once i have downloaded the blockchain>?
No - the mining icon (like Litecoin) is not available in the client. If you have everything up and running and have your config file setup, just add gen=1 and you should be good. The config file should be rpcuser=username <--- change this rpcpassword=password <--- change this rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 gen=1 Also: Don't encrypt your wallet if you're going to solomine.

is this development still going? any response from pocopoco? Where is yacoin going?
WindMaster has taken the lead on development, and I have contributed a tiny bit as well. If any of you are devs, or can contribute in other ways, please get involved! Let's make YACoin as good and stable as Bitcoin.

My initial idea for ScienceCoin was PreScienceCoin - with -5 second blocks. It sounds like Fastcoin will be almost as slow.
|
|
|
I'm hoping a dev in here is interested in helping create a coin which has the purpose of helping people achieve amazing things for humanity all over the world both online and in Real Life. (Think non-profits, innovative inventions, works of art, etc)
Keep bumping the thread for me thanks guys!
Good luck Also ^^^

You're giving away Novacoins???

There's a few of us working on this currently. I'm at the initial planning stages with ScienceCoin, and it looks like Curecoin is farther along... are you going to succeed? because coinlab said they would try this with some high performance computing software client, never became anything else than some announcement I'm not going to pull a "Satoshi" and do it all myself if that's what you're asking... At least not in the near future. I really need some folks on the level of the main Bitcoin devs to help. Of course, everyone has their own thing going on.

over all I like how the price been holding up Lets see how it holds up over 1 year Here's hoping it is at the current level of Novacoin 0.03 BTC

I'm under the impression that it's better to donate to the distro(s) that you like, rather than the foundation. The foundation gets all that big corporate money and a lot of the distros don't get very much.
Is this thinking flawed?
In my opinion, donating to the foundation is like donating to a 'save the Earth' fund as opposed to donating to a distro's 'save the Whales' fund. i.e. there are no whales if there is no Earth. Though if Debian starts accepting BTC I will be sending them as much as I can afford

Now that the FSF accepts BTC donations again, this has become much more likely. This is the last bump I will do - let's see if we can get to 100 before 6/1!

One good coin per quarter.

Let's hope mtrlt either holds on to his GPU kernel like it appears he has to this point, or if released, it's released to all. Anything else risks the stability of the YaCoin network.
This is indeed my plan. A || B ?
