I don't know what's going on, but you're seeing a lot of YAcoin wallet stealing claims.

Do not listen to them until you hear it from someone you trust on here. The way the same people and brand new members are spreading this rumor makes it highly suspect.

Updated suspicious peoples list.

List of suspicious people - bennybong, brewins, Aahzman, hdclover, poly, d3stroy3r.

Any Jr. member or new account should also be viewed with suspicion.


Possible it could be a cpuminer or something aside from the yacoin-qt, again, if it is real and  not a anti marketing campaign by 6 people.

UPDATE: bennybong now says his forum account was compromised and none of his coins were stolen. So he was either hacked and it's bullshit or he is backpedaling and it's bullshit.

UPDATE:
  Thanks to user seleme, we can see hdclover has or has tried to gain a large amount of royalcoin. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201831.0

Up until a few hours ago his avatar was also royalcoin. The pieces are coming together.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Until you see it from reputable people it's possibly FUD, especially coming from hdclover aka Mr. RoyalCoin.

My wallet is just fine as well.  Ran every virus scan I can think.  People should post what dates they downloaded the client.  I download mine on day of launch and it's fine.  Perhaps a bad download is floating around.

I cannot confirm what they are saying is true. I ran wireshark and fiddler and did not see any connections to the host posted in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202070.0

I'm running the windows client and I've had no issues with it either, given their posting strategy I'd say its complete BS on their part as well.

Yacoin.exe did not access my bitcoin wallet.dat. Checked with process monitor. Cannot replicate the issue.

Also doubting it. We have source files and they do not indicate that the yacoin wallet is stealing BTC.

I found another post where an antivirus friendly minerd was hosted on mega.  Can anyone confirm that this was where you downloaded rather than the other link

Original download URL in the launch thread (and in my info thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200170.0) is "https://mega.co.nz/#!5wgDnKyZ!QLfWTXNRMRTwmb60rfpuFgzH48BCl4fpwb8paeAaqRs"

Perhaps someone can post the names of the anti YAC propaganda people. All the posts are from the same 5 or 6 Users.

I have a wallet with 6.5 BTC, yacoin windows binary installed since the launch... bitcoins safe so far.
Considering to move them to cold storage but i still think it's bullshit.
