Every thing that guy just said is bullshit[/MyCousinVinny]
Or to put it another way, everything you mentioned is hilariously what you are trying to do. You have the worst mirror complex I've ever witnessed.
As it was already mentioned, where was the vote to convert Yacoin to PoW only made? Oh right, in your garage with your giant custom GPU Yacoin mining rig
Why is Yacoin still being catered to GPU mining btw? It's supposed to be an ASIC unfriendly CPU coin.
Still, even though I "think" you're an idiot, I'm glad you have a few good programmers helping you.
Here's what you need them to work on, preferably BEFORE you do any hard-fork.
1) Upgrade all code. No one is going to take seriously a coin that is running Bitcoin 0.8.6 code. You mention fixing a few errors, GREAT, what about the few hundred commits that have occurred in Bitcoin since?
2) Stop allowing this nonsense.
Code:
if (
(0 < nPosBlockCount)
&&
(
(
fTestNet
&&
pprev
)
||
!fUseOld044Rules //(nTime >= YACOIN_NEW_LOGIC_SWITCH_TIME)
)
)
(0 < nPosBlockCount)
&&
(
(
fTestNet
&&
pprev
)
||
!fUseOld044Rules //(nTime >= YACOIN_NEW_LOGIC_SWITCH_TIME)
)
)
What the fuck is that, COBOL?
3) Fix the GetPoWHash issue I mentioned. Litecoin uses GetPoWHash TWICE, Yacoin, almost 100. No serious user or exchange wants to use your bootstrap file to try to offset the 14+ days average of syncing, Bitcoin stopped doing this a long time ago. Or run a client that uses far more resources than any other, even as a node.
4) Remove the built in miner. You are giving people the impression that they will be able to solo mine blocks against your GPU farm. People need to be incentivized to form Yacoin pools.
5) Once your done with all that, turn Yacoin over to someone from the community that will keep the coin in the best interest of everyone rather than just their own. Windmaster.... WHERE ARE YOU?
In the meantime, yes I am working on YacoinCash, which uses a new code-base, and fixes all of the above issues with the exception of #3 which as I mentioned before, I am still working on. Of course if Yacoin wasn't being run (into the ground) by an out of touch megalomaniac, maybe we could all work together to fix these issues?
But alas, I guess I will just keep working to fix it all myself.
