*** HIGHLY URGE EVERYONE TO DO A FILE->BACKUP WALLET FIRST AND SAVE YOUR WALLET.DAT SOMEWHERE SAFE WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT AGAIN ***

On Windows:
Navigate to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming
Copy & Paste your 'Coinye Coin' Directory - it will paste as 'Coinye Coin - Copy'
Run installer and boot up the new wallet, it will immediately start to reindex and then sync up to any blocks you missed
On Linux
cp -rp ~/.coinyecoin ~/.coinyecoin-backup
Run new wallet (graphical ./coinyecoin-qt & or ./coinyecoind -daemon)
Several users have completed the upgrade as I can see them in the getpeerinfo - if you have any issues upgrading at all you will have a valid backup and you can simply divert to your old wallet.  Feel free to reach out to me coinye@gayfishpool.com or join us on telegram https://t.me/coinye_chat

https://github.com/bityecoin/coinyecoin/releases/tag/1.6-beta3

This new wallet is based on Dogecoin 1.6, but also incorporated several updates from several other modern wallets. Windows installer is bundled.

Some big notes on this:

Major upgrades to CoinyeCoin

Pulled in majority of Dogecoin 1.6 wallet

Leveraged several other improvements made in newer releases, as well as cleaned up code to work with current libraries

Increased cache parameters to help with synchronization (especially after running for the first time)

** Fork **

Increase max coins to 233B from 133B ( we were mined at 99.9% )

Change block award fee to flat amount of 2500 - this gives us >100 years to mine the rest of the Coinye Coins. No change to target block time (90 seconds)

Newer libraries mean blockchain is written differently - you can upgrade from an old version, but to downgrade you will need to resync the blockchain.

Call for help: If anyone would like to work on Coinye with me please reach out. This is hardly perfect, I'm slowly trying to pull the blockchain forward and give us actual use cases rather than being a novelty. A coin that was 99.9% mined with hardly any transactions to incur fee to reward miners doesn't have much of a future. One of the biggest areas I think needs attention is node connections, it still feels wonky to me. Would like to have all wallets be nodes that actually share the blockchain, seems like even with the original Coinye wallet only a handful of nodes would ever actually share.

My Coinye thoughts:

Reward miners with a consistent, yet modest block finder award (2500 COYE)

Extend life of the coin - but not the immediate supply (Increase Max_Money to 233B) -

The current target block time * reward equates to about 1B mined per year. Would urge people not to focus too much on max_money, it's not going to happen over night. Even if it were only 188B it would take almost 40 years to mine it all. The Max_money is more about having head room and flexibility.

I personally do not like merged mining, I get it's "energy efficient" blah blah blah, but I prefer the ability to mine the actual coin directly. When DOGE took off people were wanting to mine it directly, only to discover that they really couldn't. I see this as an opportunity for Coinye.

Sitting on billions of Coinye is utterly pointless if we can't drum up some degree of adoption of the coin. Be open to change.

*** NEW WALLET ***
https://github.com/bityecoin/bitye

This wallet compiles with modern libraries (OpenSSL, Boost, Berkeley DB, QT-5)

I've been mulling over building a very rudimentary exchange page - what pairings would people like to see?

I wrote a script to grab all of the registered pool members and their wallet addresses and send out a daily random amount of Coinye! You'll see an automated tweet go out daily (@GayFishPool) - join the pool to be eligible https://gayfishpool.com/MPOS/public/index.php - may as well mine while you're there!

Let's all bring Coinye back!

The wallet still works and nodes are active - you can sync up.

We have a pool that is churning blocks https://gayfishpool.com/MPOS/public

We have a working block chain explorer - http://gayfishpool.com:3001/

Now we need to modernize the wallet, and find an exchange - most have listing fees that are pretty high, but maybe if we crowd sourced?

This coin still makes me LOL so it's worth the effort IMHO, and we're not multi pool mining so you can still actually mine the bastards.
