Per some thoughts on this site and yacointalk, and a discussion between sairon and I, we're starting a YACoin development fund. The plan is to bring on some help to fix the two outstanding issues that we are currently experiencing so that YAC can move forward to being on of the top alt coins, which as we all know, is certainly where YACoin should be. The issues that will be resolved with the funds are: 1) The dreadfully slow startup time. 2) The POS causes POW orphan issue mentioned here http://yacointalk.com/index.php/topic,473.msg2038.html#msg20383) The very slow response time when more then 200 transaction are in a wallet. I am going to start the donation at 5000 YAC's Please donate to: Y3ywBHyjs6tRk5M8hA6s3y2FxNpDsMzstx Edit: Or if you prefer BTC 15qUzhfiMzweuVUyoc8rdX7G1sARSTz48A |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

I don't really have many YAC (you've already donated way more than I hold in total) but would be prepared to commit to adding a percentage of what I mine and/or receive in bounties. I have solid experience recruiting and managing a workforce on oDesk and am more than happy to help facilitate that side of things.

Thanks for the support and offer! It looks like sairon has already found someone that will fix the startup time issue, but I will definitely let you know if we need help on the other issues. |

Awesome thanks! Now it's time for some of you high rollers to dust off your wallets and at least match my 5000  |

We have a C++ dev working on the #1 issue right now (slow startup time). He has already made a huge progress.  Donate now to make him type faster!  |

Since I don't have much and am quite stingy on top of that, I'm only sending 30. Sorry.  The wallet does need to speed up. These days on my PC, it takes about 30 minutes for the GUI to turn up and the POS minting uses up a whole CPU core on its own (my CPU only has 3 cores). I'm quite reluctant to run it these days. (Just started the qt client. Looks like I need hours to sync as well.) |

I think my small donation went through earlier. (Just waited a bit to bump this thread. ) |

Bump. A little reminder for the rich list people: your fantastic holding won't be worth much if the coin is seriously hampered by a dysfunctional wallet. |

Bump. A little reminder for the rich list people: your fantastic holding won't be worth much if the coin is seriously hampered by a dysfunctional wallet. We have a working prototype of a new wallet ready. Not sure if it's bug-free, though. However, works for me so far. You can get the latest windows binaries here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwa2lymjl6igh6q/yacoin-cc-latest.zipStill waiting for the major stakeholders to toss us some coins, though.  NOTE: you NEED to move/rename (backup) everything except wallet.dat and peers.dat in the yacoin data directory and then run yacoin with -loadblock=C:\blk0001.dat (assuming you put the blk0001.dat file in C:\). This is needed because we had to change the way blocks are indexed and now the wallet starts in LESS THAN 30 SECONDS (down from more than 30 minutes). However, this initial load will take somewhere around 2 hours (still faster than downloading it through the p2p network). If you don't mind redownloading all the blocks, you can just remove the unneeded files and start yacoin normally (less hassle, but takes more time). Most of the time at startup is now spend verifying the last couple of blocks (which needs to to recompute their hashes to ensure integrity). I've lowered this number from the default 2500 to 666 (rather arbitrarily chosen, but should absolutely be set higher than 520). |

Can it be set in yacoin.conf ? for example, check_hashes_of_last_blocks=777 with default value 2500 |

Also, I managed to fix the annoying #ifdef error in scrypt-jane library. Now it builds on Linux and Windoze without the need to manually edit the file. |

That's quite possible, haven't checked. |

That's quite possible, haven't checked. No, all of the floodberry changes should be current in YAC. This was due to an extern C added to fix some linkage issues with the mingw compile. Unfortunately, that caused some problems with other builds so logic was added to only apply if windoze and not Qt. |
