[ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development

[nextcoinsru]

Hello.
Tell me pls where can i find the latest YaCoin client for mac os?
Thx.

All links from previous mac client compiled before were all broken. You need to compile it on your own using the source.

This is bad. I can't compile it

please turn off "on top" for client's start splash screen in next release, it's pretty irritating now,
please add some bootstrap or blockchain's folders to download
please run some working blockexplorer

[Roister01]

Is this how it ends for this old classic, once so full of potential, yet now doomed to failure...all the time and effort put into this great idea, yet now closer to single figure satoshis than ever..so sad...😔😔😔

1) Done https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/commit/e8c044717291ce951e155fa15b79748490a3bbe5
2) Should be ready in a few more days. Will absolutely be required for new client, unless people want to spend a week downloading block-chain
3) New client has built-in explorer, but also can access old one at yacoin.org

This is only the end of the beginning.

Unlike almost any other market I know of, the price of all crypto-coins is silly at best and only represents how good of a marketing team the coin has. I am confident the price of Yacoin will eventually match it's actual value, but I also know that I speak for the other Yacoin developers in saying that the price is not a factor in whether we continue to work on Yacoin. No more than potential price or value was what Linus Torvalds was thinking about when working on the early versions on Linux.   

New client WILL be released, I am still planning on 10/1, but definitely by 10/15 at the latest.

Anyone that wants to try out early, or help testing, this: https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/tree/testing  is about 95% complete. If you do test out, make sure you use a new wallet just for testing

[Joe_Bauers]

Quick update, testing is going well, but getting the bootstrap.dat ready so all of you don't need to spend a week+ downloading block-chain is taking way longer than anticipated so 10/15 is looking more likely. Like mentioned above, anyone that wishes should install and run the testing version for a very close approximation of the production version.

[yusyus]

what about new client, its OK?   will be on 10/15 ?

At a minimum, source code will be released on Github, but Bootstrap.dat will NOT be ready.

Windows build should be ready, but as mentioned above, you will need to download the entire block-chain.

Mac build should be available by 10/21, but any Mac users that are able can still compile from source.

More updates before end of 10/15

As promised, source has been released here: https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/tree/testing

Anyone that wishes can compile and use for testing or for production. Obviously BACKUP before you upgrade! Bootstrap.dat and Win and MacOS builds will be ready within the next 2 weeks, probably sooner definitely for builds, Windows is almost done.  Once they are ready, I will merge code to master along with builds.

Happy Yacoining!

Two weeks have passed. Even more. Any news about new wallet

bootstrap.dat is taking a lot longer than expected to process. At the current rate it is going to take ~ 8 more days.

One can/could always click on the splash screen to dismiss/close it, for all version of bitcoin, yacoin, etc. Bitcoin changed it to a real window in 0.13.0 or earlier.

If you want a block explorer in your old yacoin 0.4.4 see
https://github.com/ya1-old-c-coder/yacoin/commit/714248203523c7c8ac1c3cef19702c9aba38ba52 from 12/13/2014

Sorry for the delay, had some personal matters to attend.

I have been testing the bootstrap.dat over the past few days and will need to change a few things in the code due to the import slowing down significantly at higher N-factor values. Will follow up when I have some more updates.

Is there and ETA for the new wallet?

[Roister01]

Is there an estimated time for this coin to be great again, or has it reached the end of the road...

Hello all,

There is a new pull request, hot off the presses, from 22 hours ago(!)
https://github.com/senadj/yacoin/pull/9
and there is a working Windows leveldb "boot set" at
http://lostabout.com/btc/yac/yac048boot.zip

i.e. a blockchain of ~12/15/2016, MS & gcc daemons for Windows, and a Qt for Windows, suggested .conf, batch files, etc.  These can be used with (a copy of) your wallet.dat

These exes are all good to go on MainNet with no future date concerns.

They all have the get YAC price function, and the Qt version has the built in block explorer

This is for any brave Windows' souls who wish to try it out.  Hint, read the readme in the .zip file

Since I don't 'do' linux, I can't build exes for non Windows OSs.

The ram memory allocation is too high in my opinion, the same like ultracoin. No transaction but 500 or 600 MB is to high, slow or not so many connections, the quality from the network/program is bad.

What is "slow" about the connections?  Are you referring to the start up time, perhaps? It is now ~2 - 3 minutes using leveldb. 
What is the issue with not so many.  How many YAC nodes do you think there are, in the world? 
And how many of those have their YAC ports open!?

I'm sure we would like to hear your ideas on how to improve the network code, which is basically NVC code, and how to decrease the memory footprint.  Jump in and fix the documentation, fix the design, fix the code.  The more documentation the better!

I see bitcoin (modern 13.0) using ~337 MB (working set) with ~1/4 the # of blocks, and it seems to be creeping up.  The Txs are only ~7.4MB ATM, according to the Qt debug - information.

Hi folks,

I know this is a stupid question, but how do I get my wallet data back into the new 0.4.8?

I have it saved, just can't remember what to do...

Cheers,

Hello Roister,

I am quoting out of context, from the readme.txt file (did you read it?):

You may put your own wallet.dat file in the "YAcoinDataDirectory"

Does this answer your question?
