I'm not sure who maintains that one. Maybe sahtor?
Haven't heard any updates from anyone. I think the site was owned by someone that "moved on to other things" so we can either do a new site: I can add one on Yacoin hosting, designate Grokos site as the "new official forum" or do something else.
https://forum.yacoin.org/ is working again. It needed a full replacement unpacking of smf files. The error logs were saying something related to socket permissions and stuff thats not fun to fix. The installation is hopefully working properly and safely.
That redirect wasn't migrated to upgraded server. Old OS wasn't supported anymore and I had to clean stuff up. Yacointalk.com is working again but I don't own the domain or control it's DNS so it might go out anytime in future.
Yacoin ppa:yacoin/yacoin was updated to 0.4.4 for Ubuntu 14.04.
In your prospectus you make a financial projection regarding 1st year of operation:
What is the cutoff date for your projection starting? Is the 1st year already on its way to a reality?

Current plans to IPO with share price of 0.022-0.0235 would mean return of 25% or P/E ratio of 4 during 1st year. Earnings per share: 0.00577411

block explorer - just need to PM sairon. I see it's erroring, which is frustrating sometimes.
Oh how I hate ubuntu... I guess it broke after I updated some packages. Will fix it in a bit.As far as making the explorer faster goes, well... It's not an easy task as the Abe block exporer source code is a nightmare performance-wise. There's no proper caching, everything is recalculated from raw data on every single page load. Adding caching proved fairly difficult as the code is just not modular enough, so I kinda gave up.
Are you running it under FASTCGI ?
https://github.com/lirazsiri/blockexplorer might be another choice.
Specifications
No premine
Proof of Work: Scrypt-N SHA-3
Proof of Stake: 5% per year
Stake mining: 30 day wait, enabled with checkbox from wallet
Block time: 60 seconds
Block reward: MIN(100, diff ^ 1/6) or variable 0 to 100 based on difficulty
Total coin supply:
Difficulty adjusts every block
Configuration file: yacoin.conf
How it works
Yacoin is the original creator of Scrypt-N Proof of Work. Yacoin chose a PoW algoritm SHA-3 KECCAK to further distance itself from other coin creation schemes. Yacoin uses Proof of Stake to secure itself from pure PoW attacks.
Proof of Stake is an improved version from Peercoin's implementation. Yacoin counts PoS blocks with equal weight as PoW blocks.

Paper wallet generator is my next project.
Been there, done that.

Just needs to be rebranded from LTC.
Test version with text replacements and 2 new images:

Ubuntu ppa:yacoin/yacoin was updated with 0.4.3.0~saucy1 which is close to final version being released real soon. ~trusty1 would need bitcoin core to upload libdb4.8 so it didn't work yet.

What is the actual proposal here? POS could mean lots of exact implementations.
This is where my technical lack of confidence shows.Each unspent input of 1BTC or more has equal chance to solve next block.
Miner should be low on resources. It should sleep most of 200 sec.
Hash sha256(input+last block). See if miner is closest to 0000. Announce block.
Accept PoS from network only if 200 sec passed.
How many full nodes do we need? Is it just "more" or do you have a quantified target number/percentage?
I would guess not as many as today. This might be solution looking for a problem. I would first ask if DNS, NTP, TOR are at risk of denial of service attacks with current numbers of nodes. DNS has 400 root servers, NTP pool has 3500 servers, TOR status page listed 5000 nodes cached.Bitcoin needs redundant amount of nodes in each legal region it wants to operate in. Maybe 3000 really is enough. In the future blockchain size will cut full nodes to similar numbers that we have serious miners.
PoS also acted as cheap block creation tool. I think it's a worthwhile idea to explore even if node security isn't the best motivation.
It's very unlikely that you'll see this type of proposal included within bitcoin, but there are alt-currencies planning the first few tentative steps towards your idea.
Yes I'm aware. I was making the leap to improving bitcoin itself even if it seems unpopular. The motivation wasn't inflation, free interest or newer coins.Proof of Stake mining as full node
1 PoS block every 200 seconds
Reward 0.00000100 BTC = 100 satoshi
Transactions fees go to Stake miner
Rich getting rewarded 100 satoshis for keeping the network running doesn't sound too bad to me. PoS would inflate bitcoin coin supply 0.15768 BTC per year. 1st confirmation would take 3 instead of 10 minutes. Miners lose some future potential earning opportunity.
Block 90th percentile propagation is between 10 seconds and 2 minutes
