YACoin is on the list, but I need info.

What is the total supply? That is blank in first post.

What exactly is the PoW algo? One part says Scrypt-N SHA-3, another says just Scrypt-N and in the next sentence talks about SHA-3 Keccak. Finally the miner uses Scrypt-chacha. I know the SHA-3 winner is Keccak but how does it fit into YACoin?

See this for PoW algorithm:

According to above post post, the library is Scrypt Jane and Scrypt Chacha is one of the mix functions. The hash is Scrypt-Keccak512 with N increasing over time

I will call it whatever you want, but I think Scrypt Jane or ChaCha are incorrect.

call it scrypt-yac, it's got its own Nfactor schedule anyway

Done.

If someone would write up a quick description, I will make a new page for Scrypt-YAC and make an entry here: http://cpucoinlist.com/cryptocurrency-algorithms/
