One thing I ponder sometimes is if it would be better to change the naming strategy, as in, YACoin is the protocol and you get a YACoin Card like you get a "Visa Card" or a "MasterCard". Then, what you have in a YACoin Card is called simply "points".

The public is familiar already with having cards that store reward points, and when you think about it these points are currency agnostic. They may still be confused about what's "having x bitcoins", but they would understand instantly what is to have a "YACoin Card with 1,000 points".

Points sounds good, in a way it strips the confusion through familiarity.

With that in mind I made this little fella:



  Dont hate on me!

That may be an amazing idea, YAC atm, debit cards that work anywhere in the world...payment processor for stores. Heck yeah

[dcl595]

I have a contact for "high risk" Credit cards if anyone wants to pursue it

You mean to get "carded" gear? I don't think that's appropriate for this thread bro.

[dcl595]

Hell no, "high risk" is merchant services for things that have potential for higher than normal chargebacks, my suggestion is based on the probability that most credit card companies wouldnt work with virtual currencies, but high risk providers may entertain it with a well written business plan. Typical clients are adult websites, filesharing sites and similar...

I'd still like to be able to exchange USD to YAC directly.  It's silly depositing money in dwolla, waiting 3-4 days for it to clear, sending money to an exchange, buying bitcoins, waiting for it to confirm, sending to another exchange, and then finally converting BTC to YAC.  It would be a huge time saver being able to buy directly.  Not to mention it would probably greatly help the economy of YAC - the value would begin to be based on a direct currency exchange rather then on the current bitcoin price.

If anyone can formulate a basic plan behind this, I could approach some companies to see what the associated fees would be and its general viability to operate.

Ps nice little rise in yac at the minute

It's up at 24th place on coinmarketcap, just passed QuarkCoin.

Good news, better buy some more!

My hashrate for YAC has gone from about 7.5kh/s to 1.9kh/s. So, about 25% of the previous rate.

My 7950 GPU results are similar--about 25% of what it was.  8.41 kh/s to 2.12 kh/s.

Next n change going to be measuring mining speed in hash/sec!

Yeah we will be!  I know my cpu miners are getting ~ 0.10 kh/s (100 hash/s) per thread.

btw- I recently switched my mining pool to 'http://yac.coinmine.pl/index.php' from 'http://yac.ltcoin.net/' (I was having a lot of issued with yac.ltcoin - coins disappearing, wrong amounts on payouts, etc.) and several of my CPU miner's aren't connecting.  I tired all of the ports but of my CPU miners still won't connect.  I'm using ssse3 miner and after it launches, I get 'x miner thread started...' but it never goes to 'long-polling activated for....'  It's odd because about half of my miners connect (including my GPUs), but other's aren't

Is anyone else having this issue?  Is there anything on my end I can try to do to fix it - or is it on the pool's side?  I looked on the 'yac.cooinmin.pl' site for a contact to message the pool owner - but there doesn't seem to be any contact information!?!?

I think feeleep runs that pool. Have you tried what he posted in the last page?

Hi - if you use LP try another port: 8080 (the same address) and let me know if it helps

And the one after in seconds per hash!

...
And then in hashes per cardlivetime since a card won't work for ever.
...
And then by cards needed for 1 hash.
...
And then will will have a PoS-only coin.
