I actually think the biggest problem for YAC (and many other alts) is the fact that you can't spend them on anything. Their only value comes from the exchange rate with some fiat currency. These currencies are naked with no substance to them, which makes them a speculative instrument at best.

+1

But even bigger problem is that there is nothing one can buy with YAC only. Such deal would create at least some non-speculation-oriented demand
for YAC.

Anyway, I got newest Win 32-bit YACoin QT wallet from cre8r and testing it now. If anyone skilled and adventurous wanna help testing it let me
know and I'll send you download link via PM. Unless you know what is Sandbox, how to check network traffic and have highly secured system than
please stay away!

VirusTotal detected nothing suspicious:

Glad someone was able to get that for you - I got stalled out on getting from yacoind.exe compiled to getting -qt compiled due to lack of time.  I do have an updated CPU miner for x86 compiled under MingW with the latest scrypt-jane library (and directions on how to compile it) - it appear 5+% faster than the one god3 posted - if you need them.
