what exactly do you have in mind that requires active developement?
agreed on the gpu miner, but oh well... would be a shame if we got 51%'d like FTC

An active wiki like the one's up for bitcoin and litecoin in their github account's. And binary release's on the main github account would be a nice start. Yacoin is orphan since the original dev is missing, but this should not be a problem since a distributed coin is owned by their holders and with consensus anything could be changed. Essentially I am talking about an *official* yacoin takeover.

Well, WindMaster has been pretty active on his github fork, and as it's the only maintained YAC fork, I'd consider it pretty much "official". So Yacoin is not an oprhan, just the devs changed. Binary releases should not be a problem as long as someone trusted makes them. For the github wiki, I'd say that devs don't have time for it and nobody else can write it. Cheesy

But.. wouldn't that defeat the purpose of YAC, aka being mined only with CPUs?

Since there is people already mining YAC with GPU. This only makes the currency unfair and insecure. So a public GPU implementation could only improve the security.

^ This.

Well, right now GPU is almost 16x faster than a CPU mining YAC...

That's not correct, please check the comments after the one where you saw that number.

Will do.
EDIT: Can't find anything.

What do you mean? YAC already has some exchanges, like Vircurex and BTER.

If you first have to exchange your YAC into CDN or USD, and then withdraw that money from the exchange, it will be highly impractical and completely unfeasible for small purchases.

Having a place to spend your YAC directly will increase its usefulness a great deal.

I think we have bigger problems right now.

Paying 200 YAC or 0.07 BTC for working WinXP 32-bit YACoin QT wallet compiled from latest source code. Communication over PM only until I
make sure everything works properly, there are no viruses and so on. Afterwards I'll post link for others to eventualy download and upgrade wallet.

Shame I don't have dev tools on my windows install (using linux) Cheesy
