I disagree… but it is a judgment call. I don’t think anything has changed since the mods last discussed it, but I’ll point to your post in our chat channel and see what the others think.

Thank you for the updates @hloo.
I believe in friendly forks, this project seems like it has the best interest of both Zcash and Ycash. As a Zcash holder I fully support your efforts.
Any other sources I can follow regarding Ycash fork or just this thread?

There’s a Discord (don’t have the link) and a subreddit.
@hloo I would definitely encourage you to start a newsletter! buttondown.email is super simple to use, without missing any key features, and it’s free for the first 1k subscribers.

Thank you so much @Altug for your support!
As @sonya mentioned, there is a Ycash Discord:
and a Ycash subreddit:
(The subreddit was started just a few days ago, so there is only one post there right now.)
For important announcements, you can follow the Ycash Foundation Twitter account:
https://twitter.com/YcashFoundation
Also, the main Ycash website should be up and running in a few days. I’ll post a link to the website when it’s ready.
If you want to get involved in the development efforts, check out the Ycash Foundation GitHub page:
@sonya, thank you for suggesting a newsletter! I think that’s a great idea and I will look into it.

Ycash is standing on the shoulders of two giants: Bitcoin and Zcash. We will aggressively compete with both (and all other digital currencies) for user and merchant adoption.
Aggressively doesn’t sound very friendly to me. Maybe it isn’t in native English talking countries, but to me it sounds rather hostile, but that are just my 0.72942 Zec

@BUS, thank you so much for taking a look at the site. We don’t have any official Ycash logo yet, but some variant of that American Sign Language Letter “Y” logo is under consideration.

The Ycash testnet will be ready on June 7. It will be a chain fork of the Zcash testnet. We’ll make YecWallet and ycashd available a few days before June 7, so that anyone who is interested in participating in the testnet fork can join us.

You are 1.5 years too late, good luck though.
To launch the Ycash testnet, we are forking the Zcash testnet at block height 510,247. Currently, that is scheduled to occur in about 5 hours, but the variance is high due to hash rate fluctuations on the testnet.
If you are interested in joining us on the testnet, here is a TESTNET-ONLY version of YecWallet and ycashd:

That’s SO 2014, a major investment into a premium domain, the cheapest there is, at $0.99 first year.

Wow … Speakless …
Slowly but surely i got some sympathies for the Ycash project and thought to join their Discord channel to read a bit and made 3 posts:
-
1 regarding that it might be good idea to add a channel for wallet questions as more and more questions will arise the closer they get to the fork date.
-
1 regarding if Suprnova is still supporting it and ready as i think Ocminer is a top programmer and suprnova a top notch mining pool.
-
1 answer to a guy that mentioned if Zcash will raise in value bevor the fork where i answered that the common scenario with forks/airdrops is just that they raise until they happen and than the most common scenario is that both fall again.
Result: Banned
I guess this is due my critical view towards Ycash in the beginning in this thread.
Really nice. Leaves only 1 conclusion: Even past critical views are not wished at Ycash, leave alone future critic, concerns, questions, whatever.
Good job, i like it when someone reveals his real intention(s) & malice. Maybe we can call such behaviour “Upfront-Censorship” …
Discord is cancer. - I refuse to use it.
I assume it is just a discord mod abusing their power - but still, c’mon.
I really hope they haven’t banned you for some stupid reason, especially because your reasons for being critical of ycash are actually not to do with ycash. why would they turn you away?
@hloo Can you please explain?
I am supposed to be interacting with your team, I do not want to interact with people like this. (I am guessing it is your moderation staff) I understand you are hyper busy because of launch, but please address this issue as soon as you can after launch.
Box will be one of ycash’s biggest supporters if he gets his questions answered in a reasonable manner. - I know this for a fact. Would I get banned for doing the same?
@boxalex I feel for you mate. I really think it is a discord thing. It tends to breed people that seek mod status just to wield it over people and gatekeep. Like Wikipedia and Reddit mods, and blue checkmarks on twitter. Which is why I like this place so much. sure it isn’t super busy, but the core demographic is the one I want to interact with.
The internet is a strange place, if you create a power structure a lot of people will fight for it, even it that power is just having to do free work.
