Hey, Ycashers! Iām happy to see the development plan you recently posted. Some of those (especially the viewing keys work) might be re-usable for Zcash software. I hope the work goes well!

Looks nice,
You are really doing some good stuff. btw
I do not work or am in anyway connected with ycash, except that I have already offered to make my PoW research available to them, RandomX - for no cost
Yes it has, you just havenāt seen the results yet 
[I have also got some basic progpow stuff and an asic friendly algo that works with harmony mining.]
Seriously though, I will pass over all my work when you are ready for it.
You have made some really nice progress on the tech you have been working on. keep up the good work.

Ycash is affected by the Zcash security annoucement published within the last 48 hours:
All Ycash users should upgrade to YecWallet v2.0.7 or ycashd v2.0.7 (both just released today) as soon as possible.
YecWallet v2.0.7:
ycashd v2.0.7:

Seems you are way off with your prediction, lol. Just checked, itās traded at US$ 0.25 these days.
Is the Ycash Foundation still a 1-Man-Show or are there any new board members on Board allready?
And out of curiousity, does someone really hold his YEC until today?

Just readed about the IRS guidance about forks and that these are a taxable event.
https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/new-irs-guidance-says-bitcoin-forks-and-airdrops-are-taxable-events
Makes me think how this turns out with the Y-cash fork and how ZEC holders are taxed for it?
Iāam not very familar with the US tax system as in my country we are taxed only for real generated profit events, hence why iāam curious how the Ycash airdrop turns out now for US ZEC holders at the time.
Nothing changes, the airdrop is taxed as a gift in the same way you would calculate mining Rewards
The problem is that the IRS didnāt Define who exactly this applies to other than āeveryone even if you donāt know about itā, whether or not theyāll change this I donāt know (itāll probably take awhile anyways)
Itās still all based on the honor System and you can get in as much trouble from not claiming taxes as you can from claiming stuff that you have donāt actually have
In this case however the ability to claim y cash is currently considered control over the asset even though you may not have it or may not have actually claimed it because you didnāt actually know about it

Ok, thx, quiet different than here. So how much taxes would this mean to someone that had hold 100 ZEC at the time of the fork?
You go by the price that it was traded at the exact time of the fork or if it wasnāt being traded at that time, the opening price
I think Ycash was around $3 maybe so taxable income would be like $300, the amount that you usually pay in is somewhere in the 20% range depending on your income bracket so $60 goes to IRS either deducted from your return if you have one or simply paid if not

i sold my ycash within 4 hours of the chain going live. Precisely because of the fake sales smile on the 1 mans face who is the only person who cares about Ycash aside from the casual support from the Zcash devs.
