There are no checks (Australian greetings?) in the Bitcoin protocols that only allow men to use Bitcoin. As Satoshi is a woman, that would make no sense. How would she build, test, implement and use Bitcoin if she added such checks?
In that case, woman are free to use and be involved with Bitcoin as they see fit.
So really, who cares who cares?

I voted gas chamber, because everyone should be using it. Men, women, cats, dogs, unicorns, monkeys...
Why would a unicorn want to use a gas chamber?

, but there is still the unbelievable perfect source code of version 0.01.
If the source code was perfect, we wouldn't be at version 0.10.1 Looking at the source code, to me, makes it pretty evident who wrote it. One of the main reasons that I am assuming Satoshi left is she was not liking the "godliness" that members of the community we starting to attribute to her. I find extremely annoying the people who go out of their way to use "her" or "she" instead of "him" or "he". Seriously. It's especially stupid when Satoshi is clearly a male name. The only thing clear about Satoshi's name is that it's a pseudonym Sorry to ruin the idea that your "god" Satoshi is clearly a man. P.S. Not really, your annoyance shows you are another cog in the worldly wheel of problems.

... What about setting a min-max range for the Tx fee? Minimum, say in terms of the minimum YAC unit, 0.000001YAC (or 0.00001CENT), a Satoshi or whatever we choose to call that minimum, say 100 Satoshis. And some maximum, or a percentage of the Tx amount, of TX byte count size or whatever, whichever is smaller. Doesn't seem hard to do.
Tx fee's function is to prevent blockchain bloat/spam attacks. Lowering it would mean removing this protection. The only way it seems sensible to have it dynamic (and less than 0.01) is to somehow tie it to block reward. More miners, consequently higher difficulty and lower reward would indicate possible higher price. In that case it would make sense to lower mandatory tx fee.As it is now, at such low price, tx fee could even be 0.1 yac. I admit it is challenging to estimate price from difficulty, especially considering N factor. Besides, I think tx fee is perhaps even more an economical than security issue. And we've got enough of those to fix. The highlighted part above needs to be addressed. Simply put, a static, minimum transaction fee of 0.01 is VERY limiting to the growth of the coin. Of course, the price per YAC has to be 1,000,000 fold above the current price for the fees to be significant, but the fact that there is that limitation suppresses the coin well before reaching that point. MIN_TX_FEE is set to CENT/10 in testing. When we get some of the other stuff that senj has mentioned worked out, that is what we'll go with for 0.4.5

Satoshi Nakamoto is probably someone still posting in here, under a moniker "Satoshi Nakamoto" could be fifteen people on these boards, or zero. What does it matter? Bitcoin is not a company brand that needs a likeable figurehead. Bitcoin is mathematics, a platform protocol upon which to build. Even in development, there's no trust involved, no faith. Only transparent open-source, constantly evolving computer science. This.

The problem with this thread is thinking about Litecoin in terms of a $ value rather than a % of Bitcoin. When the buying power of Bitcoin is 1000 times higher than it is now, where will Litecoin be?
OR, in the spirit of this thread, what was the dollar value of Litecoin when Bitcoin was $1200?

I'm not sure who maintains that one. Maybe sahtor?
Haven't heard any updates from anyone. I think the site was owned by someone that "moved on to other things" so we can either do a new site: I can add one on Yacoin hosting, designate Grokos site as the "new official forum" or do something else.

This is one of the better trollin threads I've seen on the Internet's. Still, I don't understand the meaning of it.
I red in books once what girls are, but can someone tell me what the fuck is a bit coin???

Sure's heck can't rule it out. People get so stuck on the "dumb hillbilly" stereotypes that they forget there are also smart hillbillies. And you cannot run a farm these days without a full-time Internet connection so....
Seriously. I worked on a project for a few months in the south US and I admit I went in with an expectation that everyone was going to be a stereotypical assbackwards hillbilly moron. Most people were the exact opposite, very friendly and lots of brilliant technical minds. Of course, some of them were exactly the type that would do the world a favour by jumping into a volcano, but you will find that everywhere.

I will come back, but you need to send 1000 BTC to my address to pay for therapy because Satoshi is one of my multiple personalities and we am rarely unable to unlock our Satoshi knowledge for more than a few seconds every week or so.

Satoshi is a sentient artificial lifeform from the future who's conscience evolved from the block chain. This is why Satoshi created Bitcoin.
Wouldn't that be a paradox though, like in The Terminator? Who came first, Satoshi or the Blockchain? Today is a good day to paradox

Many other coins have been shown that a high PoS rate contributes to their success and attractiveness as an investment for example Maieuticoin gives 2014% PoS and holders of this coin make a nice little income just from PoS minting.
Will Yacoin developers ever consider increasing the PoS% (say as N factor rises) or is it forever going to be 5%?
Senj is a Yacoin developer... and is considering it above your post I would say anything < 20% is certainly feasible

I've been involved with Bitcoin in one way or another since 2011 and it still makes me laugh to see the daily threads and stories about how Bitcoin has already peaked in value and usefulness.
We are less than 6 years in to a technology that has and will forever change the world! 110 years ago or so, people were saying the same thing about another technology that forever changed the world... the horseless carriage.
Bitcoin, like the automobile, has barely yet left the workshop of it's inventor. All of us here are at the ground floor of that experiment.

Yacoin doesn't share ROI with novacoin, so GetProofOfStakeReward (in main.cpp) will need to be updated in testing version.
Unless/until we implement STAKE_SWITCH_TIME, the code steps through to :1155 I just left the rest of the NVC code to make it easier to switch in the future and to maintain the overall rebase.

I updated the testing code, so anyone that has it checked out will want to pull in change.

Very cool. Original Bitcoin was built in VS so Satoshi is probably happy I forked what you did for Novacoin into the latest testing version of Yacoin since its easier to maintain (not embedded in most source files) and am going to try to get it working for VS 2013 Community, cause its free and also basically the same as the regular version. Will let you know how it goes.

In general, regulation is the enemy of freedom. However, some regulation, especially with regard to the exchanges, will likely get rid of some of the "wild wild west" aspects of the current environment and possibly bring wider adoption.
This regulation could be as simple as a "mandatory" proof of reserves concept used by all major exchanges to help eliminate any future MtGakEsque shitstorms and should be enabled/enforced by the community rather than some world government.
