I agree with roller in that we need to start buying things with Yac, instead of just mining/hoarding. I've put a link up on the website for bitcoinmegamart and also sent out a tweet.
In other news, Yacoin 0.4.4 has been officially released and can be downloaded from yacoin.org or github.
This release includes many updates by old c coder and the stake enhancements mentioned on the previous few pages by grokouser.
From here, we need to start thinking about what to do for 0.4.5! There are many interesting suggestions that have been made and it's time now to look into the pros and cons of some of them and decide what, if anything, to implement.
Great news! Thanks a lot, Joe. I'm updating my wallet now. Sent you a tip for the
amazing update (txid 5ec330bb774477ce641979455b81272aabdb6edbcf8909ec362d11c5ede63158)
Thanks you Groko, too! (txid 56af5a86657badb4730707dd0d51b17b2990a5c132aa8951da7551c080576cf7)
Thank you, oldccoder! (txid 8c8273ab2fe43712053c8f815bcb94e5544ed401228c81867cb1313a514f267c)
People can buy things with YAC--convert to BTC. Thanks to bitcoinmegamart for the promotion. Hopefully, more people will mine YAC , convert electricity to YAC and get discounts on buying items by doing so. I disagree on bribing (for lack of a better term) sites at this point because the resources could be put to better use elsewhere. I'll say it didn't seem to help UltraCoin at all. I'll save you my thoughts and theories as to what has the most influence on the price. But hey, that's the beauty of decentralized free market--individuals making their own decisions based on their own self-interest.
In the spirit of this discussion, I'm increasing the GIVE-A-WAY promo to
2000 YACoin per person and extended the deadline to 30 September. Please take my YAC!
