YACoin Resurrection Hard Fork – Heliopolis

Slowly, but surely, the Heliopolis Hard Fork approaches. Nearly 1300 blocks to go now at this point!

It is best to ignore those who clearly have an agenda. The agenda is nebulous, but it is certainly NOT to help the value of the coin grow and to help current/future stakeholders.

Bitcointalk is not what it used to be. We will eventually move to a self-moderated thread after the hard fork. We can continue to use this thread for announcements only. IF you are interested in starting a respectful conversation, please join the discord server: https://discord.gg/vvPz9ks

Again, YACoin is an open, opensource cryptocurrency and has been since 2013. The Heliopolis hard fork in an upgrade to the current YACoin network. It is not, for example, a new coin that is cloned from Bitcoin or Litecoin and then airdropped on a UTXO set. I feel obligated to say DO NOT LISTEN to anyone trying to push some idea, especially without recognizing the great improvements and incredible hard work, sacrifice. It's all noise and very, very little signal.

There will MANY people rooting for the failure of YACoin. At the moment though, it is really a DEAD coin. Hence, the RESURRECTION! YoBit has it listed but withdrawals and deposits are PERMANENTLY disabled. It is a complete scam exchange. Do NOT EVER use it.

One way to help is to run a node. It may not make sense to set "gen=1" if you have a CPU lower-end than an i3. But if you have an i7 or a newer Ryzen, the hashrate numbers look good. At NFactor 21, we see an even smaller advantage for GPUs over CPUs. ccminer works at the moment at least for older NVidia cards. If you want help, the discord channel will be the best place to go.

Faster sync times is in the works. Downloading from the mega link is a quick workaround at the moment. Anyone should be able to compile on their own machine (Windows, Linux, MacOS) as clean as possible. That's another area A LOT of improvements have been (and will continue to be) made.

The goal is to have a very open and inclusive community--for lack of a better term. There will be countless features and supporting features that others can implement for the betterment of the entire ecosystem. I'd say the success of YACoin 1.0 relies on that type of culture. Bitcointalk is not the avenue for that though.
