Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

I thought I would start a new BBQcoin thread as the OP from the original seems to not be around or interested in the project anymore.

If you don't know, I run bbqcoin.org and work alongside a few others to further develop and support BBQcoin.

I fund the website myself and I have done since the start as I actually really like BBQcoin and I don't run the website just for financial gain (Minus money first three months) but to assist the growth in both community support and the trade of this coin.

I also hope that this thread will help new users to make sure they don't get the wrong information.

First off, if you need to find out any information or get quick support then please use our IRC at #bbqcoin.org

On our IRC only users on there with an @ or + sign next to their name are official support staff for the website and they can assist you.

The website has the current Windows client with only a slight logo cosmetic change, the next client release is currently being worked on.

The source code, forum and IRC links are all there in the footer for anyone interested in getting involved in the community.

The last thing I want to say is that with this coin, for the most part, everyone is on the same playing field. The blockchain has been running to beyond 15 million coins and has been running long enough to allow everyone to get a fair share.

I am sure there are users out there with a big stack of coins but that is because they mined them the same as anyone else including myself when the difficulty was low and that was only the case because most users chose to forget about BBQcoin which understandably got labelled as a joke coin.

I consider BQC to no longer be a joke but a real crypto-currency only with a dry and sarcastic sense of humour.......and a great taste  :)

Ah, the new thread smell.

Smells like a BBQ.

Something I have wondered since the beginning:

Is BBQcoin tomato based or vinegar based?

Captchadd maybe you can add the wiki to your post for easy access: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=bbqcoin

Edit: I don't mean the link to the wiki but the important stuff from it like pools and info and whatnot :)

It had a nice ride today on profitability!

So nice to see BBQ again! 8)  BBQcoin is real crypto right now.

By the way where i can see what next BQC difficulty will be ?

I like BBQcoin also. I just started mining it a week ago, but stopped due to all the connection issues at ub3rl33t.
And with the increasing difficulty it is no longer profitable to solo mine.

A few good mining pools next to ub3rl33t are really needed at this point. Preferably one with stratum support and with servers in EU en US.  

Yes, very nice ride down. It dropped from 0.00072 to 0.00027 on BTER   :(

I would rather mine BBQCoin over ChinaCoin anyday.

It tastes like vinegar to its critics, so they throw tomatoes.

So maybe both? Maybe they feel the tomatoes improve the taste?

Or another way to look at it is it slightly overshot in pre-exchange pricing, reaching 28, but has settled slightly to 27 now that is is on an exchange.

Apparently with some kind of first moments on the exchange bubble of exuberance, it seems?

-MarkM-

Honestly, I think a coin that sticks between 80% and 120% of the profitability of BTC is more stable.  Otherwise, you get a lot of pump and dumpers...

Can I just say I'm really happy to see this on an exchange. I have and will continue to enjoy the community and channel banter and I think this coin has created a great sense of community and that it's core principles work very well (not talking about the coin between friends).

CaptChadd, my thanks to you and the others you've worked with who have brought this coin up in recent months.  I'm happy to see the coin exchanging.

Just a little bit of
http://www.chilefoundry.com/wp-content/uploads/WNH-HSNBS.jpg
And it's so good  ;)

Once the dumping is done in couple of days it will be interesting to see how the blockchain has changed. I guess it will be changed quite a bit.

thanks, i hope it was worth the time :)

CaptChadd, how did you came about BBQCoin? what did get your interest to restart it ?

The fact that it was labelled as a joke and most thought it was worthless.

well not worthless now,  8) price will go up slowly

Well y'know, when all you have to mine with are CPUs, or maybe just one GPU, it really isn't in your interest to encourage large GPU farms to come drive up the difficulty.

Tenebrix and Fairbrix are the same position right now, except rather than being rumoured to be a joke they are rumoured to be dead.

The end result though, which is months and months and months of peace and quiet for CPU miners to hum away hi ho hi ho its off to hash I go, is the same.

Much fairer, I think, than the GPU miners' approach of "we raped all the coins, lets launch a new one to rape".

(The one GPU, of course, merged-mines all the merged-mine-able coins; as there is no point driving up the difficulty of the Scrypt coins Tenebrix and Fairbrix prematurely; putting a GPU on them would just force others to also put a GPU on them, everyone would spend more electricity for the same number of coins, it'd just be wasteful and impolite.)

-MarkM-

Well that is part of it. If the big farms thought an exchange might be coming, presto they'd be there and the halcyon days of CPU mining would be over.

-MarkM-

which site is official ? http://www.bbqcoin.com/ or http://www.bbqcoin.org/ ?

.org. Always has, always will

Are the current custodians of the .com and .net on this forum?

As really the big-three domains would be the most logical ones to put the DNS seeds on but obviously that is screwed if their admins are not reliable, cannot be trusted to keep the seeds up to date etc.

-MarkM-

Someone should make a physical BBQcoin... that is edible :P :P :P :P :P

Patches to make p2pool node for BBQcoin in this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178298.msg2063855#msg2063855

And this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198175.0

I will try them both.

lol, genius

they should be printed on bbq flavored pringles

they have the technology

http://junkfoodnews.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/pringlesprints.jpg

I wonder how much BBQcoin they'd charge to do a custom run for us? :D

-MarkM-

BQC Pool: http://bbq.optimuss.net/
0% fee. Get in!

I just joined your pool, very good alot of shares.

Translation: he had a lot of worthless BQC and had to convince people it was worth something before he could start to sell any.

Come on guys, you're not fooling anybody here. Nobody will judge you for being motivated financially. But I will definitely be suspicious of you if you talk like a politician.

A p2pool at http://94.254.0.247:8900 , 1% fee, stable provider, EU.

This is unfortunately  not my pool, just found link somewhere on forum :)

I have 100,000 BQC, do you class that as a lot?

I don't. I sold more than a million before the exchanges opened, trying to sell in batches of that size though some I did let go in smaller sized lots.

You ought to be a major holder, if you want another 100k or few hundred k contact me before trying to buy them at tourist prices (aka on the public exchanges).

(The market-making scripts for the Digitalis Open Transaction server's markets customarily use three scales of market and use 1%, 2%, and 3% margins on them, 1% on largest scale, 2% on medium scale, 3% on retail scale. ;))

(Some pairs use 2%, 3% and 4%, or even larger spreads, due to the relative values of the two assets of the pair or the expcted or typical volatility etc.)

-MarkM-

Looks like that makes the the largest BQC holder right now :)

http://i.imm.io/156EW.png

That is your hot-wallet?

How many similar scale cold-wallets?

-MarkM-

Absolutely. Regardless of what MarkM says, it's very clear you stand to benefit financially from BQC's success (since, after all, 100k is 0.6% of all BQC. 0.6% of all LTC is currently $345,000.)

I don't have a problem with that - if you have a hand in its success, you should share in the reward - but we shouldn't pretend like the motivations are entirely selfless. That's pretty dishonest.

You appear to have added a black pixel next to your 5 with an image editor.

How odd.

he claimed it was because of a dead pixel on his monitor, but those obviously don't show up in screenshots haha

stratum pool up @ stratum+tcp://multipool.in:3338

Does BBQcoin have proof of steak?

I have not been dishonest. I setup bbqcoin.org as I genuinely like the coin.

For three months I lost money with the web server costs when bbqcoin was worth nothing.

Yes I have 100,000 BQC but I am not about to dump them, as I like them.

I am honest with everything that I do, if people do not believe that, then its not a problem, its just the way I am.

I do have other projects other than BBQcoin but this one I get enjoyment out of and the community is great too.

http://www.chilefoundry.com/wp-content/uploads/HH-DinosaurBBQ.jpg

Mmm sooooo good.

+1 the feathercoiners and bitbar shills can learn a great lesson from this man ;)

What, did BBQCoin compliment you on your shoes or something?

If you said you'd purchased $4000 worth of Congolese Francs "because you like them", people would think you were crazy.

No. It's a currency, and you didn't purchase 0.6% of the money supply because "you liked it". You purchased it because you believed it was undervalued, and you are doing things like this website in the hope that people will begin to agree with you. And if they do, then you will have made a profit.

Why is that so hard to admit?

Why in the world do people have to psychoanalyze themselves and their motivations in public for the benefit of others?  Can't people just own their own feelings if they wish?  Must they be called disrespectful names if their analysis doesn't agree with yours?

Didn't realize this was a therapy forum.

Hey, someguy mined and sold 380,000 china coins in one night, and nobody told him nothing... that was really a scam, same with feathercoin.
This coin BBQ got adopted in first place because its funny and because its not premined. almost nobody owns lots of BQC coins today.

Rubbish, there were no Feathercoin blocks mined before the client became publicly available. Look at the time stamp of the first block and when the client was uploaded.

Im selling 500 BQC, give offers.

Almost 3 million feathercoins were mined in the first 24 hours. Same effect as a pre-mine.

Except it's nothing like it. Firstly Feathercoins are 200 per block, that's 4 time LTC with the same 2.5min block rate.

Check the payout addresses of the first days blocks, they go to lots of different wallets not just a few like a pre-mine would have.

Nice conspiracy theory though, keep it up you might eventually convince some noobs.

It's not. But we're talking about money here, so it's very important we disclose our motives.

A stock analyst is required by law to disclose if he has a position in any security for which he offers public advice.

Obviously we're in the Wild West here, so no such laws exist for Bitcoin (and certainly not for the altcoins), but that doesn't change the morality behind those laws.

Bottom line: It's fine to seek profit via altcoins. But if you are attempting to influence public opinion with a significant position in the related coin, there's a conflict of interest. That should be addressed.

CaptChadd was forthright about the number of coins he owns, which I appreciate. But if we're genuinely building an open, honest community, we shouldn't try to hide the fact that a primary motivation - if not the primary motivation - is profit.

Wow, went out for a drink with friends, BBQcoin goes up 20%

I want to sell 500 BQC, give offers. I want to sell if for BTC, CNC o LTC.

Plonk.

CaptChadd I noticed you used one of my icon mockups on the site for a little bit. Would you like me to spend some time in creating a more polished version? I think a nicer icon is what this coin needs.

I put up a fee free p2pool here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198623.0
It's a small pool and I'd like to reliability test it, have been trying to get the p2pool running for ages as you know.

The reference client generates a new address each block it mines. So a different address each block is normal even though all those addresses are in the same wallet. The wallet gets big if you mine a lot of blocks because each block mined has its own private key.

p2pool sends your share of the block reward to your single address that it knows you by, so if you want all the blocks you mine to go to the same address I guess you could use a private copy of p2pool that does not network with other people's nodes of p2pool so that you can solo mine blocks all to the same address.

But normally, you get a new address for each block.

So every one of those blocks you are looking at that you are imagining are going to different wallets could all be going to the same wallet.

-MarkM-

linux builds added: http://bbqcoin.darkgamex.ch/

Sergio actually may have tracked Satoshi's mining, maybe same technique can be applied to these new chains.

The nonce or extra nonce or both do not get zeroed nor randomised between blocks.

So if you got to a certain nonce and solved a block, next block you continue on sequentially through nonce and extra nonce values, something like that.

So by looking at blocks and seeing which ones have monotonically increasing extra nonce, or some such detective-work, Sergio thought he had figured out Satoshi's mining from the early days.

-MarkM-

In response to anyone that thinks I started the BBQcoin website for profit that's your opinion but I know that I support this coin only because I like it.

I make my profit from other projects.

I don't need to make money selling bbqcoins as I like having them.

It my seen strange but it's just the way it is.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

someone created the term insta-mine here in the forum..  :D

REM: we (both of us) clearly stated we do it "only for fun" in the old thread.

However, bbqcoin-qt client still uses Litecoin logo, i think it should be changed in new versions of client (if they appear)

very nice coin that why i created a new pool
http://bqc.gigapool.udf.me (http://bqc.gigapool.udf.me)

yea, i pushed new builds (src from current git)

The next BBQcoin Windows Client update in is full progress now and once finished, a small testing phase will begin, once ready, I will post the news on here and you can download it on the official website http://blog.bbqcoin.org (http://blog.bbqcoin.org)

Thanks

That's fantastic.  I noticed the other day that there are some RPC calls that the current Bitcoin client has that BBQcoin doesn't -- any chance of these being added?  I'm planning some projects that I would like to use on several coins with a minimum of porting difficulty. :)

Saved me the time of building it, thanks.

Oh you built it with libdb4.8, the repos only have 5.1. Looks like I'll just build it myself. :P

you should read the "WARNING" in the README about >5 libdb, if you need the libdb4.8-dev add this repo:
ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

libdb4.8 should be in any repo so far i know.

EDIT: i gonna try build static builds later, so no need to install libs :)

Looks like BBQcoin is nice and cheap on Bter.com right now and on a slight up turn.

What about BQC and BTC-E? Any rumors? :-\

Nothing for that trading pair right now.

On Bter.com I am impressed that BBQcoin can go so low but them come back from it.

It shows there is a impressive support base.

I think the support stems from the low value in part.
I made my p2pool for bbq because if I messed something up there would be less forum vitriol.
It's been fun even if I'm a bit lacking in miners right now.

Although I'm not against making a bit of money too! I'm goona snap up a few 0.0001 coins.

Think of it as a 15 cent wing special!

buy bbq now, they are really cheap..

BBQ Coin Mining Pools:
http://bbq.optimuss.net
http://ub3rl33t.com
http://bbqmine.com (stratum)

Got my first ever solo block. Hats off to you, BBQcoin.

http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=bbqcoin
who is running bbqcmine.com (btc talk profile name), so i can add it to the list?

BBQMine is a great pool, it's the one I use.

BBQmine it is for me from now on.

I stopped using ub3rl33t because of the high number of stales (25 to 40%)

If there would be a new pool with 20 confirmations instead of 120 I will go to that pool for sure. I hate the wait for 120 confirmations.

This needs a pot to give to an exchange like btc-e to get listed there

Don't forget http://bbq.caish5.com (http://bbq.caish5.com)

i added you to the pool list:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=bbqcoin

Anyone have a link to a BQC calculator?

http://dustcoin.com/mining

Hehe, I guess I should have been more specific.  Anyone know of a BQC calculator where you can input different BQC/USD prices?

This calculator is even better, it'll find the value of all your crypto coins: http://www.cryptofolio.info

isnt scrypt jane just the libraries to do scrypt in CPU?

Nice, thanks.

Good to see I have a few fans in this thread :D

yeah the folio is really nice!

"Somebody" just bought 600k BQC!

https://bter.com/trade/bqc_btc

Does somebody know more than we do? Nobody would spend 30+ BTC if there wasn't something going on with BQC

Maybe because of the Open Transactions iPhone app screenshots revealed today?

Current plans seem to indicate BBQcoin will be second only to DeVCoin in sheer number of tokens issued on the server, so it might get a lot of use if a lot of people use the app.

(The app will also be ported to Android once the iPhone version is fully completed.)

-MarkM-

BQC faucet!!

http://admindependencia.net/bbqfaucet.html

INSIDER TRADING! I DEMAND A PAYOFF!  ;D

So hopefully that 10,000 i bought for too much the other day wont go completely to waste.

No one will take this coin seriously with the current website. It looks horrible.

then how can we take you serious "boss"?

I've added a new p2pool.

Here are the parameters:

cgminer --scrypt -o next.afraid.org:8114 -u yourBBQaddress -p .

statistics available here: http://next.afraid.org:8114

2% fee.

----
This one is up, and fully reliable. And you will have your mined coins quite quickly...

Your pool doesn't appear to be connected to any peers.
So it's essentially solo mining.

While I'm here, shameless plug for http://bbq.caish5.com

Yes, you're right, but it is more efficient like this. The default PPLNS configuration takes more than ten of hours to get a proper payment. This one is quicker.

I hope it will be easier, and more efficient to use for everyone.

this is not the correct p2pool chain, its a other/forked chain. therefore you shouldnt use it.

I've tested the default chain myself, and found that waiting 24h to get a payment converging with what I expect, is unbearable...

I hope it will be better like this. And, with a little MH/s value, this p2pool has already found more blocks that we can expect. It may be a luckier pool, or better configured... We will see.

its your fault if ur hashrate is so low that you have to wait 24h to get a share, BQC p2pool is solving alot of blocks per day so it dosnt take long.
also please edit your post if you messed up the quote.

The default chain, is quicker, but the payout is slower...

BQC Difficulty is now 2.05.

anyways, you try to create a new standard which ultimately will fail. why do i even bother? u clearly didnt understand p2pool and its sharechain. ignore and problem solved... i bet hes a winblows user :P

I offer a second choice with a quicker PPLNS windows, no connected to the main one for the same reason.

More blocks for us!

+1 the website looks terrible.

I have to also agree with this. Has the new logo not yet been adopted?

Like BBQcoin


Really?


This is a joke right?

BQC is being exchanged on BTER, none of the other dime a dozen coins popping up and dying within 5 minutes are ending up on exchanges.

This coin is very undervalued atm and the diff is still low so it is worth jumping on board.

Why all the hate for the website? I made it simple for new users to find the download client. I want it to look nothing like TRC corporate site and have a more home made feel.

Anyway the website cannot be that bad as the big news for today is that I got a reply from Vircurex and they have agreed to add BBQcoin to their exchange.

A timescale is going to be worked out and I will post that next update on here but without a doubt it is happening.

So what would make the website look better then? What changes could be made? I do listen to the BQC community when I am not neck deep in projects.

Aww yeahhhhhhhh, Vircurex on the way. Volume on the way. High price on the way

All the people on this page that have said that the website does not look good or have put +1, I expect screen shots of mock-ups for what you would like the site to look like, as just saying it does not look good, that is never going to give me any constructive advice.

I am looking forward to seeing them.

It great when a community comes together to help out a Dev team.

Oh, good news!

Btw of the website, the grey background looks bad, maybe you should try to inverse the colors, white has to be the dominant color i think.
And use orange color for the "BBQcoin.org
The Official Website" letters

Look at my profile picture.

Where do you mean exactly? Figroll does the design work, so I can pass it on to him to look at.

I might do a mock-up. I would like to see some changes in the website

I sent you a pm with the exactly changes that should be made.

regards.

What do you think of it now?

Excellent news indeed!

regarding the website, are we talking .com or .org ?

i digg .com

The official BBQcoin.org is the official one. That is where the new client update came from.

BBQcoin.com came about after all the hard worth had been done getting BBQcoin recognised.

If you want to download from there then be my guest but you will reserve no support from us for a basic error in judgement.

BBqcoin.com even cheekily links back to my forum, they cant make one of there own I guess!.

And also read this thread, it says BBQcoin.org Official Thread, :-)

great news.  but i am expecting more merchants are going to accept lovely BBQCOIN...

Official BBQcoin.org Facebook page now up and running.

Quick and important updates, screenshots etc, will get posted there. Just another way to keep the community informed.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/BBQcoinorg/344946292290858 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/BBQcoinorg/344946292290858)

https://www.facebook.com/BBQcoin.org (http://www.facebook.com/BBQcoin.org)

Thanks

congratulations!!!

So we will see BQC on vircurex.com today.111

Do we have an official confirmation of vircurex somewhere?

Where did you hear this? I just bought a bunch more, I can't wait.

I had an offical email response from Vircurex.

I sent them a serious letter giving them various important details, not just another beg email :-)

good。。。

but can we see our cut BBQCOIN on vircurex today or not?

I cannot give a timescale for when it will be added yet, just that it WILL be.

It takes time to properly add a new coin to an exchange.

good job.

and most important that more merchants is going to accept our cute BBQCOIN. more app

Great. I'm excited. It's time to buy in.

I know this is a minor thing and not arguing about using wordpress on your site... but something about the blog.-prefix that makes the site look sloppy.
Might want to consider removing it so it would be just http://bbqcoin.org/ or even better yet https://
Nice that someone picked this project up as it's now the beginning of BBQ-season here in Scandinavia. :D

You are right and I am going to work on it. The blog thing was a side project but then ended up being the main site. Improvements to its look are on the table.

I also have some other side projects for BQC that will help to support this coin even more.

Were are 50% of the way through the complete website overhaul of BBQcoin.org to bring it in line with the others but still having a dry sense of humour but not over the top.

This coin has become serious now and needs to to treated as such.

The Dev team that did a great job with the new client update are now involved in the website changes.

If only the other BBQcoin thread could get locked as Cubox has nothing do to with this coin any more and we are now the ones working hard promoting and developing this coin.

A single thread makes it more simple, or just use the bbqcoin.org forum.

Why not throw together a Bootstrap (http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/) site? They are pretty enough and look more professional then a blog. It only requires basic html/css knowledge.

I could possibly build a bbqcoin.org website with bootstrap, I've used it before on my own websites.

Any thoughts on the possibility of putting together a leadership/management team. I know we have a Dev team but they are responsible right now for everything. We could operate it like a non-profit board breaking up responsibilities and tackling major projects/issues in unison. I would love to discuss this more with others. It has been an idea that has been bugging me the last few days. 

great.

but the price seems shitty.

If it hits another exchange it should go back up.

It just hit Vircurex! Price has already rebounded a little bit on Bter.

I'm happy to see BQC @ Vircurex!

hell yeah vircurex!


while your at it maybe consider a new logo too. i'm not a fan of the current one :)
maybe make it a contest like others have done here or so...

Thanks

Market is bullish as fuck.

I hope that it getting added on Vircurex, like I previously announced has helped any doubters about me and the whole bbqcoin.org dev team.

We are pushing for more.

we need payment app and get more merchants.

so the current price will seems ridiculously low when we look back several month later.

Good work!

But even with this ridiculously low price: BBQ is at a profitability level of over 90%. I think thats not bad after all.

By the way, my P2Pool is up and running absolutely smooth waiting for miners. Heres the announcement. So start mining instantly:

Now all that's needed to rise the price is to people to hold on to their coins instead of all these low price dump-/panic-sales and see some rise on difficulty.

Or atleast BBQ coins are the most tasty out of all cryptocurrencies. If the value drops I'd rather have useless BBQ-accessories than mouth full of feathers or be living on lite. Would also be awesome if more restaurants would adopt to using BQC.

Go on, mine and dine, stop selling out on trades and the profit shall follow! :D

I am working on an advertising concept that could draw in new users. A very cheesy one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPQbYvA1IHs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPQbYvA1IHs)

Even Lara is after the BQC now.

Really happy that things are continuing to move forwards for BQC, mining is still at a reasonable diff so still a good time to solo mine or jump on a pool.

Beware of BBQcoin.com.

It could be a scam site.

The restaurants on there do not take BBQcoin as payment, the website has lied.

http://s23.postimg.org/p25m6cv9n/bbqcoin_com_scam.png

Your post is slanderous and untrue.

BBQcoin.com is not a scam site. Our website is becoming more and more popular and we are a real professional development team.

The restaurants listed on bbqcoin.com accept bbqcoin.
http://www.stoneycreekroasters.com/About-Us-4.html
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=208891.msg2187717#msg2187717

Prove it.

I want to make a purchase using BBQcoin please.

Can you give me a simple guide how this can be done on both of this restaurants websites?

BBQcoin.org deals with the client, in essence the coin, your website deals in services, there is a big difference and people are getting them mixed up.

Do we work together or against each other?

Why are you guys arguing? You are on the same freaking team. Get it together please, seriously.

I won't argue with someone who defames. BBQcoin.com promotes BQC and doesn't compete with you...

All I am asking is that you show us how to buy things with BBQcoin on your website with them restaurants.

Just wondering how it is it done?

I am sure a lot of other users would like to know too.

Thanks

Maybe you should have asked him to clarify before blaming him a scammer ? ;)

By the way :

At the Moment theres a single guy mining at my BBQ-Pool with 0.43 KHashs.

Give him some help and throw some KHashs on the Pool... Its very fast and reliable as you can see in my reputation thread (signature)

crypto-coins.de:8900 (http://crypto-coins.de:8900)

Its P2Pool, so use your Wallet Adress as your Username and a random Password...

I said could be a scam site, only because as they have lied on their website. Scam means a promise under false pretences.

You cannot use BBQcoin to buy anything from those website restaurants as per the screen shot.

How about this link:

http://www.stoneycreekroasters.com/About-Us-4.html (http://www.stoneycreekroasters.com/About-Us-4.html)

It says they accept BBQ coin as well as Bitcoin

But how? The price of BBQcoin changes every few minutes. BTC uses Bitpay but even that is not active on the site. Also both the restaurants are connected. One selling ice cream.

I have the BBQ wallet installed on the POS. The rate will be what is agreed upon based around the trading price. If anyone lives in or near Ohio they can come down (with their laptop) & I will accept BQC as form of payment at Stoney Creek Roasters or The Neapolitan.  Now this is not as sexy as Bitpay but it works.

Ok that is totally fine and I am impressed that the restaurant owners who has said he is not affiliated with BBQcoin.com is allowing payments by BQC. It works by taking your laptop down to them and then transfer your BBQcoins too them.

This should just have been explained by BBQcoin.com more clearly as to not confuse new users.

The official BBQcoin.org website works on and develops client updates and is working on adding stable nodes but the website as it is right now is designed to be simple and easy to use just like Bitcoin.org.

We also offer mining and client support in an technical sense too, the same as we do on our IRC channel.

BBQcoin.com is a service offering and information site, however I don't even think they offer the most upto date client download.

BBQcoin.org is the development website and team.

Why BBQcoin.com even has to have a client download link I don't know. It's even a self extracted installer which I know a lot of users don't like.

The client for safety reasons should only be downloaded from BBQcoin.org

Also the client source code on BBQcoin.com is the wrong one. Why is the website giving out all the wrong information and downloads?

BBQcoin.org should be handling the client download and even more so the source code which we have access and work on daily.

We don't need two sites offering download links.

BBQcoin.com - The out of date client and wrong source code.

BBQcoin.org - Fully upto date, as we develop them.

IPhone Application Developed to track the prices of several major Altcoins including BBQcoin.

Search the App store for Coin Ticker.

Enjoy  :)

I have also just invested £1000 in an hardware and software advertisement campaign for BBQcoin to bridge the gap between high end gamers and mining BBQcoins.

I have always been a high end gamer and have always been involved in their communities.

My main aim is to help these two communities cross.

Nice find, a link to the app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coin-ticker-bitcoin-altcoins/id636476147?mt=8

Hopefully will see an Android app soon! Checking exchanges on my phone kills my battery when I'm out and about.

I agree with CaptChadd that there should only be 1 download source and that should be BBQcoin.org. Would the owners of BBQcoin.com please update their links to point to the BBQcoin.org website? This will fix some of the issues CaptChadd and the development team have with the .com website. Personally I think it's great that more people are getting involved and making websites but we need to have the main stuff at one location.

100% agree and this is the only way BBQcoin is going to work if we need to move forward and develop the currency further.

And another thing, we must be liked, as BBQcoin and only a handful of other Altcoins got picked on http://altcoinprofit.org (http://altcoinprofit.org) as the most potential for the future.

Have u thought about taking BBQ orders over the phone?  Let's say i know what i want so i call u up and tell me how many coins it will be then i send them from home (or wherever i have my wallet stored) i then come down to your store and give u my coin address to confirm that i payed.

Would be nice if there was a phone app.

Need to get a pokersite to accept them. With the fast transaction time it would be a good fit.

I could do that. I accepted BTC for products in the shop since 2011. Back then I would exchange them for gift cards. I could potentially use a wallet address as a gift card number. Once a coin payment came through a gift card would be created using the wallet address as the card number. I would need to get a barcode scanner that read QR codes to speed up the process at the register.

This could also be used for the online store, unfortunately they dint run on the same system.

More updates to the website to be released this week including a BBQcoin introduction and guide video. Our Facebook page shows updates the second they happen.

Someone has been buying a large amount of BQC from the exchanges the past couple of days.  Price hasn't risen dramatically yet, but someone is preparing for something. 

i real hope devs will improve the web design.

and it is so childish to put a shitty video on the "official" site.

the web design seems out of some amateurs.

sorry if i offend you

Seriously, what the hell happened to the website.. 0_o

Every change the website has had, loads of people have not been happy with it, so we keep changing it.

I am working on a final change that will be more in line with Bitcoin.org.

And then there will be no more changes as we want to spend 100% of our time working on the client.

I have forked the code in the github for a record of the bbqcoin  repository.... so when u make any updates i'll pull them as well... but I may be having a play with the client at some point to if time every permits.

Still a bbq lover here :)

I'm hungry... who has a few bbq coins for me?  ;)

bJcXcZ7MQRMeZzf92iSRxJiAzxqqCfmiic

Thank you in advance!  ;D

I will send you some when I get back home.

I like the potential this coin has in restaurants and food related websites. It just needs more investors to cancel out the dumps from miners every few days and website/payment apps. By the way the BBQcoin.com website looks good.

 ;D

BBQcoin.org website has been updated to be more serious and in line with the Bitcoin.org website, which we all know works well.

As BQC has become a more serious coin, with it now being on two exchanges, including our team working to try and get it on a third, the new website is simple and with no gimmicks. Exchanges do not like silly or fun looking websites and that is a fact.

The coins name alone is fun and enough by itself to attract attention.

I am also just finishing up the first of many BBQcoin introduction and guide videos which may turn into a Vlog of sorts.

The download link for the client has been changed to Sourceforge. It is complete with screenshots of the client and a brief description of BBQcoin and client. Thanks goes to Figroll for this one.

1BQC on your way ;)

Nice, Your the man!

Website redesign complete. Added Facebook and Twitter links.

Each menu link opens in another tab as per request.

The main page is blog style so main updates will be posted there.

Quick updates will be posted on Facebook and Twitter if you want to be the first to get the informational update, as I am not always at home.

Thanks goes out to all the community members that have stuck with this coin. The future of this coin is going to be bright.

BBqcoin.org offical twitter now active. Will be used for on the fly updates, quicker than Facebook and main website updates.

So if you want to be upto date with BBQcoin.org the minute they happen, Twitter is going to be the way, as I can even do it when away from the PC on my Iphone.

Thanks for all your hard work Chadd.  I know I'm not the only one that appreciates it.

Thanks mate, it means a lot and keeps me focus so much for the big projects ahead.

First BBQcoin YouTube Introduction and Guide video released.

This first one is a basic guide aimed at new users.

A mining guide is the next one planned.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEeep5rlB0I (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEeep5rlB0I)

CaptChadd do you have any specific plans how to differentiate BBQ from other alts for the future? :P

There are a lot of plans in the future.

As it stands though it has been put on two exchanges, there are services being developed in the background that i cannot mention yet.

With all these new coins turning up all over the place, I feel that more users and miners will move back to the coins they know and love.

I have integrated the social network scene into the website which has increased traffic by 15% already, so things are only going to get better for BBQcoin.

keep up the good work

Thanks mate.

I am still in talks with a third exchange but they are getting put off by all the "BBQcoin Foundation" stuff and it is not helping.

The team over at BBQcoin.org have now started work on an IPhone Application devoted to BBQcoin. The first released version will have a current price ticker featuring the trading pair BQC/BTC and another tab that will display basic information about the coin possibly including a guide.

The £100 to get the App onto the Iphone App store will be paid for by me out of my wages but I do this not just for myself but for my love of the actual coin and the amazing support of the community.

thanks man! yall are doing awesome stuff and thanks to all yall for it!

nice, thx :)

At the moment the Alt-coin market is over saturated but people will soon get bored with coin after coin and should then come back to the coins that have been around the longest or server a purpose.

For me that is Litecoin, Namecoin, BBQcoin, and Devcoin. Almost all of the others are new, a pre mine scam, dead or dying.

If anyone asks for a reason as to why we need BBQcoin is is because its history is out for everyone to see, any premise that might have happened means nothing with over 15 millions coins mined so far.

BBQcoin is a truly free and transparent crypto-currency.

Thats just my opinion and I have only been in this game for 2 and a half years.

Now is the time to mine BBQcoin as the difficulty is low at the moment but I cannot see it being like that for much longer and I can also see the price of Litecoin rising in the next two weeks swell.

Amazing forum just for Altcoins and the best I have seen yet.

http://cryptocointalk.com (http://cryptocointalk.com) 

It has almost every coin on there, with new ones added daily, including prices and percentage rise and falls.

I do not run this forum but it is useful for me with BBQcoin so I joined and the guy that runs it is really friendly.

I think an Android app would probably be better in terms of exposure. There are many more Android users than iPhone users, especially worldwide.

Check out coin pool monitor in the play store. It lists BBQ exchange rates as well as profitability.  You can also keep track of your miner's.

Just put together my first big mining rig and sticking with BQC all the way!

Currently pooling in 2.1 - 2.2 Mh/s on 3 x 7970s ;)

I will also start accepting BQC for my web design/marketing/consulting services, very soon, too.

Good stuff, I have 2 x 7970 on the go but three is nice and you are getting some good hashrates out of them.

I am not sure where BBQcoin.com has come from, I am guessing a Graphics Design and real world business background. What I do know is that Bigduab has said he owns the restaurants on BBQcoin.com, hence is connected to that website and also that he tried to create a BBQcoin foundation, to try and get the community to back him, which did not work.

Instead BBQcoin.com have decided to do a hostile takeover of developing BBQcoin and without even messaging me first, just to even let my team know they were planning one. (We could have worked together)

Whoever is running BBQcoin.com has really gone about things the wrong way, I have put my own money into running this website even when BBQcoin was worth nothing and as just as our Dev team get it onto three exchanges they come in and try to force a takeover.

They do this with a closed sourced and self installing .exe, which I have learned over years is very bad practice as the file could have anything embedded within it.

I don't think anyone knows who runs BBQcoin.com, as their BTCTalk username is the website name, also only less then a month old, which is odd aswell, if it is BigDuab running it, why does he not just come out and say it or is it because his first attempt of a takeover with the foundation failed.

From this moment on, development from bbqcoin.org will stop until BBQcoin.com contacts us to let us know their plans. We cannot plan any future updates if they are planning other ones without even consulting us, this would lead to confusion for both us and the community.

Right now I feel BBQcoin.com is hurting BBQcoin and not helping it at all.

For me, one of the good things about BBQcoin was the fact it was totally transparent and honest but now BBQcoin.com is changing that buy not telling anyone who they are and having closed sourced client software.

Thanks.  

http://www.coincasino.cc/ (http://www.coincasino.cc/)

Untill everything between BBQcoin.com and BBQcoin.org is resolved, you can use your BQC to play casino games .Now supporting BQC, finally, I had to make sure the Cashout function worked flawlessly  ;D

Yeah, I say fuck off BBQcoin.com

Vircurex decided to remove BBQCoin yesterday but changed their mind today. Price is rebounding :)

Great news!

Hi,

Testing new P2p BBQ pool node:

http://bbq.soyminero.net:8900

Works without registration:
user: your adddress
password: anything

cgminer --scrypt -o bbq.soyminero.net:8900 -u your_address -p x --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0

Payments are automatics.

Regards.

Massive annoucement to be made over the next two days directly involving BBQcoin and this could be the first time that something of this scale has ever been done. Keep an eye on bbqcoin.org's website posts, Facebook and Twitter for upcoming updates. Thanks.

We have plenty of slots open on Silverwolf's BBQ Pool!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201476.0

Can't wait for the update, sounds big!

It is going to be big, well,  i think it is big and it has never been done before as far as I can see.

I am working on the website now and once finished, I will release and [ANN] for it and the website with have a forum but with one thread only. Just one topic and thread and a signup section  :)

I am excited about this one, combining the two things I love together.

Sweet.  We're gonna be able to hire hookers with BBQcoins?   

 ;D ;D ;D

Seriously, can't wait for the announcement though.  Sounds great.  Keep up the good work Chad! 

Thanks mate.

I think the client side is running fine now, the other website has joined in on the client side too and we will release a new one in the near future adding a stable node but other than that, I think our client runs pretty fine as it is.

Now what we really need is something to spend BBQcoin's on  ;)

New side project update post just added to the main website, as I have actually spent more time at the MAC/PC instead of working on the other jobs i have, Twitter and Facebook get the news second for a change.

I am keeping what the actual project is under wraps for now other than the fact that it will be connected to BBQcoin and is, I hope going to be the first of many reasons to actually buy and mine BBQcoin for something other than trading, as it is a currency after all.

I have calmed down on the client side of BBQcoin and I formally apologise when I have acted out of turn to anyone involved, I can admit when I am wrong and also when I am being an arse, I am guessing that having over 10 massive projects on the go at once and trying to manage them can take its toll sometimes but that is no accuse.

As I said in my post on the website, I want to thank all the past and current supporters of BBQcoin as without you, it would have died a long time ago.

Here is to a bright future for BBQcoin and the possible dawn of a new era for Alternate Crypto-Currency.

So no hints or anything?

I don't want to give too much away yet, I want to have the website fully up and running, so it can explain fully what the project is about and allow for sign ups too.

Suggestion: create a BBQ address generator like this one for FTC:
http://host.feathercoin.com/Featheraddress/featheraddress.html

The advantage is that it will allow to accept BBQ without downloading the entire blockchain, becase most of people doesn't have enough HDD for all blockchains.

Good idea!

I would give to a bounty for someone to fork this for BBQ.

https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org (https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org)

Seems like a really good idea, I like it.

In other news, the price of BQC has tanked.

Go to Dig's Pool (PPS)

bbq.ltcoin.net

Plus if you have any problems he gets right back to you

Anyone have a working Linux build I compiled one myself but It keeps getting errors loading blockchain

I think someone mined a bunch and decided to dump them all at once.

Thats just for teh lulz

Actually is not that bad. After looking over the BBQCoin wallet code on GitHub I discovered a few cool facts about BBQCoin. First BBQCoin is going to make way more than 88 million coin. The hardcode limit is 4.2 billion but it will be impossible for it to ever reach that amount. So here are the basics. BBQCoin generates 42 coins per block, with 1 block every minute. This reward is halved every 24 million blocks. It will take approximately 45 years to reach block number 24 million. At that time there will be around 1,008,000,000 total BBQCoin in existence. On block 24 million +1 the reward will go to 21. There is a link to a simple spreadsheet that gives a better visualization of this. It will take about 300 years to get to 2 billion coins!

What does this mean? Not too much actually. BBQCoin generates coins very slowly (half the speed of feathercoin) and the added supply over time wont harm anything. In fact you could argue that it is a beneficial feature. The supply will continue to expand helping reduce deflation and miners will be rewarded for ever.

Feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

Back to the BBQ Mines,
-bigdaub

Man, market for BQC has been straight poop these days though. I'm holding 20k longeterm but shit.

Think on the bright side. Mining difficulty is low :)

BTW - BBQCoin's First Birthday is next month. What should we do to celebrate?

We should 51% this bitch for it's bday

did you tell figroll about? unfortunately i have no rights to change it @ github...

figroll was the first to know. We have two options.

1. Accept it and move one.

2. Change it and hardfork the blockchain.

If we do decide changes are necessary, the hardfork should be utilized to make other improvements. Here is a hardfork wishlist the Bitcoin devs have been so kind to make for us.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Hardfork_Wishlist

Great work on finding this out mate, I am sure myself and Figroll can get this sorted.

We totally need more support from members like yourself to get this coin value up where it is supposed to me.

I am going to think about offering bounties for websites that take BQC as a form of payment and also for a payment processor similar to Bitpay.com, maybe altpay.com :-)

Thanks CaptChadd. With all us of working together we can get a lot done.

Along with an online payment processor we need a mobile wallet. First a fork of litecoinj to bbqcoinj then fork the android wallet. I will throw 25K BBQ to a bounty for that.
https://github.com/hank/litecoinj (https://github.com/hank/litecoinj)
https://github.com/hank/litecoin-wallet (https://github.com/hank/litecoin-wallet)

Maybe we can sweet talk ralree into doing this :)

Okay so.  You do understand I made 2.0BTC off a stash of 30k I had of this shitcoin.  Maybe you should let it sink again then bring up your new hardfork later. WWE style shit.  BBQ Coin could be like the Cactus Jack of the crypto world

When a bounty for a litecon mobile wallet was posted on March 5, 2013 for 307.79 LTC + 0.063 BTC, Litecoin closed at 0.00777 BTC. That equaled exactly 2.3978283BTC.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=157932.0;all (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=157932.0;all)

I understand the need for Android wallets but when they have them what do they do with them? We need merchants and websites that take bbqcoin as payment, otherwise we cannot use the wallets for anything other than storage.

The old chicken or egg dilemma.... If a web based wallet was used for online merchants it could be optimized for a mobile browser. This would be a great start!

CaptChadd if you put together a detailed bounty for the type of merchant service you are describing, I will donate!

I'll also donate a few coins for any kind of merchant app.

ill sell a couple 7970s for BBQ coins. contact me if interested (and am open to any escrow service that may exist for BBQ coins as I have limited posts here)

Cheers for putting it on here mate.

I am going to add a goods selling section to the bbqcoin.org section I feel, so people can sell stuff for BQC and after all it is free advertising space for you products, my website get so many hits a day.

I will get the the drawing board and sort something out on there, then I can start adding people requests for what they want to sell and I will add them.

I might even add an goods buying and selling section to the forum aswell.

i could sell some of my crap for BQC
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Piero_Manzoni_Artist%27s_shit.jpg/220px-Piero_Manzoni_Artist%27s_shit.jpg
disclaimer: just a joke and not meant to be offensive against BQC or anything.. i'm actually on board with the coin

Vintage dada doodoo art. Very nice!

Its a great coin to ride for the pump n dumps honestly  ::) And I think just because of its resiliency, it'll eventually rise a bit. It'll stick around at least.

I've made a pretty penny trading BQC 8)

With the rebound in Bqc, I'll take 95000 per 7970 listed above. Free USPS Priority within the Us. CaptChadd offered to escrow as well.

If you take all four cards I'll take 15k bqc off.

CaptChadd: if somebody can get my linux servers the initial blockchain download plus give me a currently working node to the network, I can provide 2 (soon possibly 3) hard-coded IPs for people to download the blockchain from. Not looking for any sort of compensation. Donations are welcomed though.

Let me know what you think.

Veddy
EDIT: I've gotten the blockchain started on the first server by pointing it to bbq.ltcoin.net as a node to establish a connection to the network. Will start the second server downloading shortly.

I'm considering the XFX one. Has it already been registered with XFX?

if you need help, contact me.

Alrighty guys. For anyone interested in joining the BBQCoin network, you can use the following inside your bbqcoin.conf file. Will remain online permanently unless the host tanks which is not likely at this point. I will be adding another IP in shortly once it finishes downloading the blockchain.


Veddy
EDIT: Second IP posted.

Great work mate. I love the community support BBQcoin is getting even with this Altcoin saturation.

Since I apparently can't make my own signature yet, Donation address which helps offset the cost of my servers: bMvkaHKrfYQGEzLCD54hpnXnBb69BLfigU . Appreciating the BQC network atm. :)

Veddy

I could sort out a donation for you. If you are not already, maybe log in our IRC chat, it is quiet at the moment due the new coins coming out everyday but its good for when we do message on there, you can be kept in the loop.

Donations are optional (yes i'm Captain Obvious here), Chad. I can run these servers just fine without any donations, but that's not to say that I wouldn't appreciate them. :)

Veddy

I did not register but do not have any sales information on this card.

One item has already been sold on the BBQcoin.org marketplace. So it is starting out well already.

No worries. Sales information isn't important really. :)

Still after 95k BQC?

Yeah the cards for sale for BQC are a good deal IMO.

Yes, was hoping the BBC current value was a bit higher but I and holding these coins long, this is about $50 us equivalent cheaper than when listed. I think it is a great deal!

As for the price of BBQcoin is will rise again, it will just take time. All these new coins, many of which have nothing new to offer and some with massive premines, will soon die off and miner will get bored of them.

Then they turn back to the good old faithful BQC. We are here to stay and are stable.

I think it will rebound as well, and I'm on with the the price fluctuations, can pick up some extra coin when it drops ;)

Right now I am shocked at the difficulty of BBQcoin. Ok i agree that when you compare its per BQC price to most of the other Altcoins it is low but it is also one of the most profitable Altcoins to mine in comparison to mining Bitcoin straight up.

I have noticed that a lot of the new users are trying the mine "The next big thing" while forgetting the fact that right now at least, there is not a next best thing. That would mean a Crypto-coin that fundamentally changes the way we look at Crypto Currency and would be pretty much the permanent top thread in the Altcoin section and I don't see this yet.

When I do, I will mine it or maybe I won't be mining it  ;) and instead buying it.

If you want a good idea of how stable the price of BQC is right now, compare it to some other Altcoins out there over the course of last month and work out the percentage drops in price. BBQcoin has pretty much stayed the same, which is great for a currency as stability of worth is one of the most important aspects when examining a global currency, along with stability of the network.

The last one is the section of BBQcoin that needs the most work, the network needs more hashing power and nodes. I am pleased to see BQC supporters offering their servers to become reliable nodes and also not request payment but ask only for donations.

The reason that BQC is where it is today is simple. It is the support of the community keeping the name BBQcoin in the minds of others in the Crypto world, keeping this thread near the top of BTCTalk Altcoin section and adding informative information on the bbqcoin.org forum.

I consider most, if not all users, that support BQC to be some of the most intelligent men and women, as they see potential where others see something that will just fade away.

Well that happened once with the 51% attack but BBQcoin came back and I tell you now, the Crypto-Currency is stronger than ever. As each day passes, it will increase in strength and BBQcoin will one day be a name that everyone, even beyond the Crypto community will had heard of.

The future is upon us and it is BQC!

Don't forget http://bigbbq.cc BQC Mining pool :)

Hoping by the end of tomorrow I have about 1% of BQC!  Just waiting for my coinbase BTC purchase to go thru!   Can we drive the prices down a little in anticipation?  :D

Oh I forgot, at the end of my speech I should have shouted " THIS IS BQC!!!" and then kicked a massive premine coin developer into a pit.

Not sure but we just got a massive influx of Network MH/s. jumped from 50 to 150MH/s in a matter of minutes. Hoping it's not someone trying to 51% or something cuz that would suck. :(

In reaction to my speech or what has been written on Bitcoin666.org which is making waves right now?

No Idea. But now it seems to either be just a difficulty spike attempt or something similar. Since my original post, Network HR has dropped from 152MH/s to 122MH/s yet the pools that are known are maintaining their HRs mainly.

Veddy

Maybe its our "Underground" support community mining and helping out?  ;)

We have such a community?! *GASP* :P

A according to Bitcoin666.org lol

Well difficulty dropped back off, i started to solomine to s[read the hashing out a bit, been hitting pretty lucky  :)

+1

BBQCoin is the coin of the people.

tagged, you better get it quick. There will be some exiting stuff coming out for BBQ next week.  ;)

If anyone messes with BBQcoin then they get this from the Developer team : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VclFEwUGdY0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VclFEwUGdY0)

If you abandon us and start mining a random new coin then enjoy this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZaPMhg-gYw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZaPMhg-gYw)

However if you support BBQcoin until the end of time you get this forever : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHghr0eLhzA

LOL... looking for pool software that'll work with BQC. Alas, it looks like i'll need to learn to program it myself :(

Maybe I'll hold onto my 350k for an extra week then just to see what happens

pushpool?

some nice movement today...  going to get my buying on  ;0

ok, got to 1.2% of all BBQCoin, have a few coin left if the market drives the price down, otherwise hope to see this amrket hit .00005 soon!

Try and wait a little bit longer, we need a few of the pointless scrypt coins to be taken off some exchanges and the dust to settle and then we can go full steam ahead.

Ok all, this is the last week I am going to offer the following Video Cards for BQC or BTC. 95,000 each (BQC) or 3.8 BTC each. I will ship. I will also use any escrow service you like, CaptCadd also offered to offer himself as escrow agent.

Next week these bad boys hit ebay  :)

very nice!

Are you in the UK at all? I might be interested in that Gigabyte card of yours.

USA i am afraid

Oh right, that is a shame. Could do with a third one.

Any updates on that big BQC project you're working on?

That big project has gotten even bigger and has now split off into several parts, which I have given to different people to work on. The original project has gone now, to be replaced by this collective bigger project.

Think of it as giving BBQcoin a real purpose other than just for trading for the sake of trading.

I know what it is :-X

these coins are insanely cheap!  Have another 10 BTC that I just got in, I may be able to pick up 5% of all of these things!

They are very cheap and with what could be getting released in the short term future, now would be a good time. I have bought a few extra too.

Quick update on the Android wallet. We have gotten most of it working! We are currently working through the issue of connecting to peers. The Android client uses a DNS Seeder for bootstrapping, this is currently being deployed. A VPS with static IP has been setup on the foundation site dnsseed.bbqcoinfoundation.org (http://dnsseed.bbqcoinfoundation.org) dnsseed will be up and running shortly https://github.com/pooler/dnsseed (https://github.com/pooler/dnsseed)

Here is a little teaser. We look forward to launching it on Google Play once its finished.

Will the wallet have to download the whole blockchain?

Just to let you know BBQcoin.org is down due to a hosting problem. They have not given a timescale yet.

tagged, yes you will have to download the whole blockchain. Its a pain the first time but not bad keeping up. Take a look at the litecoin android app. It will be just like it.

Best of luck CaptChadd!

Thanks mate, we are making a good team. Just need to get some places to take BQC now.

Almost afraid to ask, but any chance there will also be a BlackBerry 10 app for this?
You know, you can easily convert Android apps to a BB10 app on the BB website online with their free tool.

If you need an additional seeder unit(s) for your app, let me know. I'm sure i can manage it into my current setup on my two VPS units.

Also, Any chance of turning this into a BQC version of BitcoinSpinner (aka not requiring the end-user to download the blockchain but storing their addresses private keys only on the device)?

On another note: My donation address has changed due to a failed HDD in my RAID 0 array. New address is: bVh8EJm6PxjgzbtaWkwZJ9ezPiwN6Bce2w

Veddy

Veddy if you could setup an additional seeder that would be awesome. They can also be coded into the QT wallet for desktop bootstrapping. Here is a tutorial for setting up the seeder http://pastebin.com/UbKYH9qS (http://pastebin.com/UbKYH9qS) I believe all you need to do is change all the ports from 9333 to 19323. Let me know how it goes!

Bitcoin spinner is a little more complicated than Schildbach's wallet. We can look into something like that in the future. Check out these links on how bitcoin spinner works. There is another mobile wallet for Android that doesn't require a block chain download but I don't think the keys are store on the device.

Looks like BBQ is heading back up on Bter  :)

I have made a new post on the main website detailing the actions I will be taking with this coin and how I feel about it.

Great! We can use all the help we can get. BBQ has an exiting future. We now have shopping cart plugins that support BBQ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276455.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276455.0) and the Android app is soooooo close....

Thanks and keep up the great work

Ok, selling video cards again at for BQCs...  have several 7970s and 7950s. Contact me for models and prices. US orders only. Thanks!
(looking for 150k-175k per card, shipping included)

Would you be able to look into the shipping cost to get it to the UK?

I will gladly cover the postage cost of it, probably UPS would do it.

I am interested in a 7950.

Cheers

Did anyone catch this article? SPOILER!! BBQ on the list of 13 most promising cryptocurrencies.

http://bitcoinexaminer.org/the-13-most-promising-cryptocurrencies/ (http://bitcoinexaminer.org/the-13-most-promising-cryptocurrencies/)

BBQCoin was added to PhenixEx (https://phenixex.com?r=5218DFE36281-4093) cryptocurrency exchange!

Sign up (https://phenixex.com?r=5218DFE36281-4093) with the referral for lifetime lower trading fees!

Let others sign up with your referral link and receive 25% of their trading fees!

Great news :-)

Is this true?

"Its hard-coded limit of coins is much bigger than other currencies: 4.2 billion, an amount that will theoretically never be reached."

Yes, this is true. Here is a more in-depth explanation.

Now is a great time to buy BQC while it is cheap.

With this DNS Seeder I have hit my limitations so we am turning to the community. I have posted a Bounty for someone to host a DNS Seeder. If you are able to donate to this bounty awesome. If you want to help in other ways spread this bounty through social media and forward it to anyone you may know who can get it done. We are so close to having this Android wallet finished. This is one of the last hurdles!

Normally I don't like tweaked litecoin clones.
But bbq made me reconsider.
I think it could have some potential the food business.
Also its like 1 year old so it has taken its fair share of punishment.

PhenixEX is really great exchange where we can trade BBQ coin! and their affiliate system is working smothly.
Thats why I have referral code in my signature...use it now and have lower fees forever.

The BQC client update that CaptChadd sent out on October 4th (via Cryptocointalk.com) will put you on a fork that is unsupported by all exchanges, pools and blockexplorers. If you have already upgraded please revert back to the official client found on sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbqcoin/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbqcoin/).

-bigdaub

seems he went insane...

What was said here about the exchanges saying it is unsupported is not true. I have emailed the exchanges and have an open ticket with one. The only reason this client update has not been widely adopted was due to lack of communication with this forum being down.

BBQCoin Client Version 1.1 on BBQcoin.org is the mandatory client upgrade with more upgrades in the future with more seed nodes, checkpoints etc.

When the exchanges do change to the new client anyone still using the old one could lose coins. The sooner you upgrade the safer you are.

I have done all I can do now to let everyone know.

All I ask for is trust. I believed in BQC enough to buy a website and help to bring it back from the dead. Now I am slowly going to modernise the client and get the interest back.

So if you want the official client then please download it from the official website at BBQcoin.org which it had always been.

Thanks

Yes yes CC we know you have been with BBQ from the beginning. Before it was on any exchanges. BEFORE it was worth anything. You have spent your own money on a website :(  Your self proclaimed martyrdom for BBQ does not license you to do whatever you want.  Releasing a wallet update that creates and instant fork without any warning is probably the dumbest thing you can do!

So basically you are pre-mining your own update! Nice...

If this was the case you would set the hardfork to happen in the future, giving everyone at least two weeks to upgrade before the fork. Not release the client when the forum that most everyone uses is down. What are you going to tell Cryptsy when all* coins deposited and exchanged over the last four days disappear from their wallet?


*edit - all coins moved over to cryptsy from the start of the hard fork will go back to their owners. Giant double spend!

if nobody upgrades, let him play his game. aslong ppl stay with the correct client, no harm done.
yes i suggest to just ignore this "not mandatory upgrade", its all about who has the longest chain afterall...

Contacted Cryptsy, they will not be updating to 1.1

Talked to Jimmy at CryptoCoinTalk.com he has hidden the BBQCoin forum untill we get this worked out. At least no one will stumble upon the upgrade from there.

thanks, you got my support ;)

What are you guys doing? You seem to be the ones that want to break BBQCoin and stop it from getting upgraded and move forward.

Bigduab you don't run BBQcoin.org so you cannot make decisions for it. And we are still to wait for your android wallet.

Why are you now going to the exchanges as a non Dev and telling them what to do?

All clients get updated and lots of users have already downloaded and started using the new client and you are trying to make it so that any coins they mine will be useful.

Your not a client development Dev so please stop acting like you are. Please.

Im sry but you cant call yourself dev by changing pictures and reading wiki's how to do changes to coins/copy changes from other coins...
What you did is worse than bbqcoin.com (He didnt wanna hardfork, you do. Your also PreMining, he didnt). You didnt even inform your (ex) dev-team (figroll + me) about what u planned to do, all we got froum you is big talk, no game.
Look what you have become, if you understand what you did you would be ashamed of yourself...
If you want to play shitcoin game -> stay with extremecoin, crimecoin and all the other things you copy pasted.
You also said you got a seednode which is a lie, basicly you just made a public bbqcoin daemon and gave everyone its IP. a seednode (DNS Seeder) is something completely different...

PS: this had to be said

The last real dev this coin had was Cubox... well dev... this coin is just a clone like all the others.

I really hope none of you guys (especially CC, who seems to think God has selected him to resurrect this coin over and over again) think this coin will ever become worth anything again  :)

yea, there wasnt much going on. id had some things i wanted to fix/backport but all i got "nice you working on that" but no "ok, merge it"...

BBQcoin when developed by CuBox or Greedie or whoever it was just a basic clone from litecoin and even had the same Litecoin logo, so it is nothing amazingly special but my client updates are an attempt to bring this coin back in line with the others in terms of speed and security.

The pre-mine that was mentioned is just not so. It is people downloading the new client that they should be doing and then mining on it.

If the exchanges don't upgrade to the new client then they are the ones letting this coin down. I am trying to bring new things into the client with this update just basic changes with more complex ones to come.

Extremecoin is nothing to do with BBQcoin but it is on several exchanges with an exciting reward drop.

If the general feeling from more than two people is that they don't want the update then fine I will revert everything to the old client and we can watch BQC slowly die.

But having BigDuab take it upon himself to post everywhere telling everyone not to download the new client and emailing exchanges telling them the same is undermining, not fair on the users downloading the new client and counter productive.

Please stop. Your combination of arrogance and ignorance is tiring. You cannot play the victim card. If you wanted changes in the client you go about it in the appropriate way. You make a pull request then get feedback from the community. Only after a majority consensus is the pull merged. This is a very big deal! The crypto community is built upon opensource code, decentralization and trust. Your update is centralized and violates the communities trust. You created a separate git-hub repository, made core changes to the code, creates an instant hard-fork, told everyone that the new client was mandatory and did this while our biggest tool for communication was down. When I contacted Cryptsy their reply was "... did not update due to the lack of a github..." Even Cryptsy new it wasn't done right.

You have violated my trust. You have violated the communities trust. Don't expect us to be okay with it.

thank you for all but now like many other people i dont know what to do with the coin i have. Update or not update there is the question :-\

This makes for some nice drama reading, but the question remains.

I guess I was not not privileged enough to get any notice of a hard fork (For those that do not know I own/run bbq.cryptocoinexplorer.com).

AFAIK I am the only working block explorer for BBQ. The explorer linked to on BBQcoin.org has been frozen since JULY. (478500 2013-07-04 15:31:38)

These leaves me in tough situation, and I am tempted to take down the explorer until this matter is settled, as there now seems no consensus on which client/chain is the official.


 

This is the BBQcoin.org official thread so the client and source at BBQcoin.org is official.

Cryptsy have contacted me asking for the new client source and I have given them the link.

The website was updated with a post about the client update, also on cryptocointalk but I was going to wait until this forum came back online but then people kept saying it was never going to come back online so I posted the client update news on what I could.

I am sorry that you did not get notified.

So when did the following become the unofficial download sites then?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbqcoin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbqcoin)

https://github.com/overware/BBQCoin (https://github.com/overware/BBQCoin)

http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=bbqcoin (http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=bbqcoin)

I certainly was not notified of the change.

The way I find out whether a coin is updated, usually, is simply to go through all my coin source directories doing a git pull on each. The ones for which the git pull pulls new code are evidently updated.

Now though it is sounding as if there might not even be any particular github repo that is the one updates are pushed to ???

-MarkM-

nope it seems to be closed source?!

well my Abe has BBQ too (http://darkgamex.ch:2571) and neither i nor figroll have been notified. nobody has been notified at all nor any information alike.
i (as almost anybody else) will stick to the actual bbq, not some stolen shit (just like bbqcoin.com tried back then)

according to CC, anything he says is written into stone, if he says hes new update is official then it must be "official", so sad...

Just a little question, other than CC who is dev in BBQ?

K1773R and figroll have been maintaining the official github repo https://github.com/overware/BBQCoin This has been the official repo for the last 8 months. I have been working on the Android wallet. We are very close, just need a dns seeder. https://github.com/bigdaub/bbqcoin-wallet Hank created the Litecoin and Feathercoin Android wallets. He has been cleaning up my code :) CaptChadd decided he didn't like  the 8 month old repo and created his own 5 days ago! https://github.com/CaptChadd/BBQcoin Apparently he believes if you own the .org website of any coin you technically own the coin.

And because of this myself, K1773R and figroll will be supporting The Original BBQCoin from bbqcoinfoundation.org  

Listen up, fools. If you have access to all of the official repos and website, make a new damned thread. In fact, I'm going to make a new damned thread with the correct information in it, and all you fools have to do is keep it bumped (above this one, especially).

Problem solved.

Here we go: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=307923.0

You guys all sound like a bunch of 5 year old drama queens.

And you are arguing over a coin that is worth less and less everyday.
If you don't agree soon you will have nothing to argue about as the coin will be worthless.

Just to let everyone know that I will be redirecting the BBQcoin.org domain to the BBQcoin foundation website run by BigDuab.

I think he feels and would also like to run a new official BBQcoin website and be the Dev team so when I get back home on Thursday this will be happening.

If feel I have done all I can with this coin and it being in fresh hands will be great for it.

Thank you to all BBQcoin supporters over the past year and I wish you all the best.
