Does luke-jr have a history as altcoin analyser? His post is very short...
He's a developer on Bitcoin. Granted, I'm not saying his claims are valid or anything. I simply posted it because it seemed to go overlooked earlier and thought it would be worth discussing among people that understand the source. He's one from developers team. Also known as BTC fundamentalist.  Few months ago he released patch for NVC client, in order to make chain fork starting from block #5500. We all know the results. Even a genius can make a fool of himself, if he dedicated himself for irrational emotions. So Luke-Jr engages in sabotage? Shocking! I read pretty negative things about Luke-Jr before. It seems like there is a major feud between ckolivas (the original author of cgminer) kano and Luke-Jr. You might subsume that the latter did some forking/stealing of code without credits etc. See here, e.g. In effect, Con has decided that CGMiner will become/live on (how long?) as a de facto hostile fork of BFGMiner (which has continuity of maintenance). I'm disappointed Con has chosen to severe cooperation between CGMiner and BFGMiner, but I hope to continue pulling as many improvements from CGMiner as possible
How can he even dare to claim that CGMiner is the hostile fork and pull as many improvements from CGMiner? He is even contradicting himself there! I am not happy at all seeing all this greed, stealing, FUD-ing and scamming in this altcoin forum. But what should I expect if reputation is counted in number of posts...  There's a YAC tip going your way, sir.
Thank you, Sir! Thanks for looking into it. I appreciate the facts coming out, we need less FUD on these forums. Sending some YAC your way. |

Seriously, it there any evidence the code source contains malware?
Nope. Just FUD being spread because the OP missed out on being an early adopter or whatever. The dev actually cares about the project going by his posts here, so I wish him the best of luck. |

Yep, LTC and NMC for sure. Haven't seen evidence for any other coins like PPC. |

I am expecting a timeframe of BFL proportions.
+1 They will probably will wait until the new trading engine is finished, so it's going to be awhile. Also, the current interface wouldn't accommodate multiple currencies well IMO. Why would it take a while? Are they short staffed? I just think if it was coming anytime in the near future they would say something more than "we have no ETA." I don't think they are short-staffed, but they want to take their time and get it right, Gox can't afford more PR blunders. |

Any guide on compiling minerd (scrypt-jane) for Ubuntu 64 bit and CPU Athlon64 x2 ? I installed Ubuntu 12.04 few hours ago so surely missing a lot of dependencies there. Apparently the N factor allocation is broken...
Haven't you dumped all your YAC? I think you did so how about moving to some other altcoin now and leaving those still interested in YAC alone? Already did, yep. Just warning people. I've moved on since. |

Was asked to YACOIN to on the BTC-E Exchange?
btc-e said no NO!!!!! They said the same for CNC. CNC got on by a fluke. Going by posts here people for some reason were buying into the belief that it'd take off big in China. BTC-E just took advantage of all the hysteria  Probably made a good amount in trading fees. YAC hasn't captured the same interest, so I wouldn't get your hopes up... |

Yeah, people are using it to manipulate threads to their own agenda. I just ignore anyone that uses it now.

Here's hoping BTC-E implement, I was hoping for a 0.02-3 range in pricing, sub 0.001 is too low.
Agreed. YAC/BTC belongs up there with NVC around 0.02 - 0.03 Never gonna happen. It's an experimental coin that belongs in the garbage. I posted it in several other threads to raise awareness, but this post from Luke-Jr was pretty telling: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200170.msg2117745#msg2117745I dumped my coins last night when the price rallied back up to .001 after reading that. If you think it isn't going to fall any lower at this point, good luck. |

Did you guys read what Luke-Jr said in another thread? I was under the impression PPCoin's PoS was not really working yet, and that nobody else had done any development on it... Update after reading some code: - Nfactor is only used for memory allocation size - so it has no actual effect on the implementation; in other words, N is not dynamic
- The code is quite messy, and even something as simple as the memory allocator is broken (it pretty much ignores the size of the allocation request)
I think this one gets a "scamcoin" classification... Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200170.msg2117745#msg2117745I think there's potential for a CPU only coin, but YAC doesn't seem to be it. |

He's probably a scammer. He purports himself to be a part of BTER's support team in his signature yet has no connection at all.

This forum has become a cesspool, full of scammers and FUD. It was bad before, but it's gotten way worse over the past few days.

He's a scammer... hopefully you haven't sent him BTC.

this is why we need to have different passwords and account names for every pool you join, for everything. some poolop could be legit for months and months and build great rep, and suddenly seize every single account he can from pool logins/pws.
One tip if you really really can't remember multiple passwords - use a base one with the first/second letter of the website you're on added to the end! No way, don't do this for any site that contains important data. Use completely different passwords. |

Not bothering with this one. You call it 'GameCoin' and don't even bother to create at least one gaming-related service yourself? Might've actually had some potential if you put work into it.

I think it's done for, wall is at 0.00067 and from there it's all downhill.
Agreed. I dumped most of my coins when it went back up to .001, sold the rest at .00085 Unfortunately YAC is associated with a lot of scam here and I think it's really tarnished the reputation of the coin. That's the only reason I sold. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'll be kicking myself for selling tomorrow morning. I doubt it though. |

I just emailed BTC-e support, this was the response: "Support N -na- < support@btc-e.com> 10:26 PM (20 minutes ago) to me We are not planning to add new currency right now. Ticket Details -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket ID: QDQ-714-45148 Department: Other Type: Issue Status: In Progress Priority: Normal Support Center: https://hdbtce.kayako.com" There you go This topic is likely a troll. There's also the chance that limitless is in control of the OPs account and posted this to prop up the price while he dumped his scammed coins. Fits the timeline... could be giving him too much credit though. |
