[ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development

[aso118]

Looks like someone sold a bunch of YAC (about 320k) on Cryptsy.  That's a lot of coin days destroyed.

https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/YAC_BTC

Someone wanted out bad! Dropped over 1 million across the exchanges at ridiculous price values. I hope for his sake he was trying to get out of crypto entirely versus jumping on the bitcoin sinking ship. I don't see the point of doing that unless you are desperate. Anyone want to admit to it on here?? ;p

With bitcoin being the lowest its been in almost a year, it seems although a lot of people are 'cashing out' of crypto coins completely.  IMOP this is the worst time in the history of cryptocoin to be getting out it of.  We finally have the attention of the media, large vendors, and even the common Joe.

Please help me. I have downloaded the windows wallet and also CPU miner. I made a .bat file. My CPU- intel core 2 quad Q9400 2.66GHz. Tell me what should I do to mine and how much hash I will get with my cpu.

I tried the link, but it is useless. Please help me

Could you post your batch file?  It should look something like this.

Code:

cd "C:\Mining\minerd-yacoin_stratum_x86_2_4_0"
start minerd-x86-corei7.exe -a scrypt-jane -t 8 -s 2 -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -u ***user*** -p ***pass***

yes... now i am mining at 105h/s .... terrible hash rate.

[aso118]

That's not bad.  YAC's algorithm is much more difficult to mine then other coins.  I only get ~150 hash/s with my best cpu miner.

LOL, if anyone wants to drop a mega-YAC (1 million YAC) at ridiculous (or even reasonable) prices, just send me a message and I'll save you all that hassle of dumping it on the exchanges.

My guess is that it was an early investor who was spread among many coins and was getting out--had to be! It definitely made my depreciating bitcoin seem pretty mighty.

With that said, still mining YAC for profit. I wish I could say the same for bitcoin.

Using Yacoin v0.4.4.0-g32a928e-yac-wm on Ubuntu linux.

I am having problems with -reindex operation. It does not seem to work at all.
If I delete blkindex.dat file and log file from database directory I get this error:

EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
CDB() : can't open database file blkindex.dat, error 22
yacoin in AppInit()


Has anyone succesfully tried this before?

I tried to used the -reindex a few months ago as well, for the 4.4 version for Windows, but I was unable to get it to work either.  I thought I made a post about it, but it may have slipped my mind.  I ended up needing to re-download the entire blockchain.

People like Warren Buffet are insanely rich because they are the type that is buying the shit out of YAC, PPC, Bitcoin, etc right now.

WHEN BTC is back in the $1,000+ again, there are going to be a lot of unhappy fearful people wishing they didn't dump everything at a low.

Now is the time to buy buy buy.

I just wish the exchanges were a little deeper in their volume...  Spending just a few dollars causes the price to double or triple.

[ivanlabrie]

Risky bet, buying anything because it's cheaper than before.
It doesn't mean it won't get cheaper...define cheap?
Good luck with Yacoin though, it certainly deserves a more subtantial market cap.

I messaged btc38. I figure they need an alternative scrypt-chacha coin especially since YBCoin morphed? (not forked) into PoS only. There is some volume in Yuan to be had there.

Can someone give me some old configuration for NF15 for GTX 750Ti and GTX 970 cards?
Thank you?

Hello all, I have an issue with the wallet version 0.4.4 and it seems I couldn't get info from the main site. Then on top of this, searching is disabled here and so I need to find out if anyone has any ideas on how to get the wallet to connect to the network and begin the block data download? I'd appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

I haven't had issues with it. All of that should be done automatically and seamlessly after opening "yacoin-qt.exe"...

What operating system are you using? Are you seeing any errors?

I'm using Windows 8.1 and don't see any errors from the wallet or any windows based errors that usually popup from programs. It just sits there and doesn't connect to the YACoin network. I started it fresh from the download and it just hasn't done anything at all.

[Dervius]

Ok this is weird, I didn't do a single thing differently and decided to open the wallet again. So now it's connected to a few nodes and is downloading the block data.

[aso118]

Yeah, YAC is one of the best wallets I've ran, as far as finding nodes and peers.  There always seems to be a bunch.  Maybe it was an internet connection issue?

I don't see how since I run skype and steam and they never have the issue. Plus, I've been here asking for help. But thanks again for the advice.

Next steps for Yacoin? As a community we should probably come up with a plan for the next steps that we should take with YAC.

One thing that I believe is very important is to get some language support into the client, website, etc. YAC is way too "English" at the moment. We have users all over the world and it would be great to represent that.

As mentioned in my post on the previous page, I could also use some help from some other devs. I put MANY hours in to get the code where it is but I don't really want to do it all alone.

Even if I had all the time in the world though, it goes against the principles that we have seemed to gravitate towards with YAC of having it be a 1 or 2 person show.

The current "price" has certainly discouraged some, but its not about price or exchange rate, its about furthering value of a community orientated coin that everyone can be proud of.

So... Let's come up with a plan!

I think additional language support would be a great development for YAC.  As I mentioned before, I'm not a programmer by any means, and every time I look at the sourcecode I remember how little I know.  I'm hoping some other 'programmers' are wiling to step up.  In the mean time I'm willing to help in anyway I can.

The trading value of YAC is differently a sore thumb.  But looking at all alternative coins, they are all suffering.  In the grand scheme of things, YAC has some-what been holding some what steady, but the price is still very low.  I truly believe we would attached more (new) miners and investors if we would have a miner directly in the wallet.  I've introduced this 'cpu coin' to several of my 'non-techy' friends who just have regular desktops (without graphics cards) and they were excited they could mine something without buying special software.  But everyone of them were 'overwhelmed' by needing to write a batch file, and downloading a miner from a forum, ignoring their anti-virus saying 'this could be a virus', and making an account on a third party website (mining pool).  Eventually they all lost interest and declared it was 'too much work' to launch everything.  Again, I believe if the miner is apart of the wallet, and they set it to launch at computer start up, it will run in the background.  And more hashrate = more security = less coins = less dumping = more interest = possible higher trading value = stronger yac economy.

I think Beave started a bounty for this (and I believe I through in some coins), but I don't think anyone has expressed interest on working on it.

A mobile wallet would be really nice too.  I know several uses that would be interested in this as well.

Should be make a list of development actions that needs to be done?  And place a bounty address on each?  And compile them into a list so everyone can see.  Maybe it will attract some new 'programmers'? For example...

Wallet in miner:  Bounty 12,345 yac, address y9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mobile wallet: Bounty 987 yac, donation address y8xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dice Website: Bounty 123 yac, donation address y7xxxxxxxxxxxxx
