Bitcoin Forum

First I want to recognize CaptChadd's hard work over the last few months. Thank You for your hard work!

BBQCoin has had a rough couple of weeks. It has come to my belief that the only way for BQC to thrive is to expand and decentralize its control.  

Proposal: Create an environment where the individual skills of all members can be put effectively to use. Have members vote on a five member executive board to strategically plan the future of BQC. The board will then bring to the floor any planned features or changes for the members to vote on. This medium will allow the talented members of the BBQCoin community work in concert toward a common goal.

Current Needs:

• Web designers are needed to create the Foundation home and logo redesign
• Forum Admin & Moderators
• Developers are needed to develop mobile payment apps and ecommerce plugins
• Miners are needed to stabilize the coin and build a stronger future
• Pool operates we need you to :)
• Enthusiastic members who want to a help build up a coin that belongs to you!

The future is bright!

Sound like good ideas to me.

My BBQ pool is in for the long haul. Although hashrate is a bit thin at the moment with the lower price.

welcome to my BQC pool

sadface - We can use designers, jump on board.

If you see an SSL error it has been fixed with Godaddy. The fix should propagate over the next 24hrs.

Just a quick question.

How is having a "five member executive board" helping to decentralise the currency?

This sounds more like a corporation.

You do know that bbqcoin.org is just an information and support site, not a website to control the currency, even our development team do not "control" the currency, that's why we have the source code link.

Count me in as miner/volunteer

I hope the future board decides to buy and hold at least a few million of the current BQC coins that are on sale.
That should push the price up. I am also willing to spend some BTC on this.

I have already bought half a million of them the last month on my own, IamRickRock got himself loads too, as have countless other miners out there. A few million is not really a lot for a "Board".

For rent

The price is so low right now, it's hurting everyone.  I'm not sure why it is so low.   I know there were alot of mine and dumpers just because it was so high on coinchoose over the last month.  But this is really one of my top 3 favorite coins.  Would like to see it worth a little more. 

Holding coins only affects supply. It is safe to say that holding and buying has only artificially propped up the price. The other side to the price equation is demand.  Demand is what is where BBQCoin Foundation should focus its efforts.

How do you increase demand? (I am glad you asked)

First this coin needs to have a professional face. Like it or not people are vain. We want to see pretty things. The look of a website matters.
Second the coin needs to have leadership that is shows a clear roadmap for the future. This gives newbies and veterans assurance that progress is being made.
Third the story of this coin needs to be shared. Many do not know about BBQ and many more think it is still a joke. This needs to be reversed with a deliberate unified message.

One last thought. The driving mission needs to be improving the quality and support of the BBQCoin community. If everything is done with excellence then value will rise. Excellence must come first or value never will.

BTW Nolo this was your 1000th post. Congrats!

lol thanks.  Wish it had been more well thought out.  :D

If you don't want to control anything why would you delete me and all my posts from your bbqcoin.org message board?

Due to the fact that you have created your own forum so I guess you dont think ours is good enough. Also you were posting in there acting like you were a developer and has been around for ages.

Your account on here is only a few months old. I just posted, listen and learned for my first year without trying to change things around trying to create a corporation style board of executives.

I wish you all the best but I am having nothing to do with your project as I feel it would centalise the currency even thurther.

I will just stick to running bbqcoin.org and the next client update.

Best of luck.

we really need decent web design to prompt this coin. and improve the image at least.

the "official" web is so shitty. it will make traders and holders laugh to see a pointless video on the "official" website.

it is 21 centry now. but we have a 1985 web design.

how poor we are.

dotcoin.info

The BBQCoin foundation is currently working on its website. Join our forum and give us your input. Let us know what types of things you would like to see.

The offical website has had an update and gone back to its roots with a more serious style more in line with Bitcoin.org, which we all know works fine.

This is a serious coin now and demands a website with a serious look, bbqcoin.org now has it.

be honest.  how can you describe the poor looking "official" site as serious? 

i am so disappointed the so-called devs of "official" one. It seems we can not expect further development now.

all the mobile payment app and merchants acceptance are in dream now.

i am so pessimistic now.

sorry.

but thanks for your hardworking anyway.

it seems we need a strong team to improve image and application.

and most importantly the merchants

What do you mean thurther development, before we started working on it, it still had a Litecoin logo. We developed the first BBQcoin client update and are now working on the second.

Merchants and such is what the community is for to help BBQcoin.

I gave bounties to pools and large amount to Bter.com to take BQC on.

So with everything we have done, why do we need a corporation style BBQcoin foundation?

People come to bbqcoin.org, download the client, learn what they need to from our forum and the Devtome link and off they go, mining and buying/selling.

If however it is a foundation to create applications and merchants for BBQcoin than that is a great thing but please not another website offering the wrong download links, that is just even more confusing for new users.

There is a link pointing to the latest client on the foundation forum.

Why do we need that when he already have the upto date link on bbqcoin.org?

The very second the next update is released, it will be on bbqcoin.org, with all other websites there will be a delay for it to be up dated.

This is the only coin that now has this problem, too many sites with two many download links, no other coins have this.

Bter.com has a link and it is to bbqcoin.org

Devtome has the link as bbqcoin.org

BBQcoin.org IS the site to get the client from, so why can you not point that website for people to download the client from? Why just straight to the link? This only confuses users, is does not help them.

Do you hate bbqcoin.org or something? We got BQC from worth nothing onto two exchanges and a third is in the works already.

I have nothing against the. org site, i thought it would be the easiest for people to click on the link and have them go directly to the download.  The link i posted will always show the newest client correct?  We are trying to work with you but all you do is complain about everything.  I will update the link with more information,  will that make you happy?

I just don't know why you don't update the link to the client website? That helps a lot more, as I am sure you are aware of SEO?

BBQcoin.org needs all the backlinks that it can get right now, I thought you would have already known this?

Alright done.

Since it is an open source project will the source code for the new client be available?  I didn't see it on the download page?  Hiw about a Linux client.?

The source code is on the main page for anyone and everyone to download, it always has been.

Like I have said before, bbqcoin.org has never claimed to "own" bbqcoin, that is impossible, we just develop and support it and concentrate mainly on client developments, including getting it added on exchanges.

Clients can be complied from this code, both Windows and Linux.

So if i complied the source code that is linked on the. org site it will give me all the updates that are in the 0.6.3 update?

Or you could just download the client that is already compiled.

I just had a PM on BTCTalk with nothing but a link in the PM, it is a very interesting read.

http://cryptocointalk.com/blog/1/entry-4-trouble-on-the-bbq-coin/ (http://cryptocointalk.com/blog/1/entry-4-trouble-on-the-bbq-coin/)

so there are going to be updates to the client but the source code for the updates isn't going to be released?  so much for open source. Now we know who really wants to control it.

In relation to the article you should find out the connection between bbq.com and the foundation.

I did not write the article, you would have to ask them.

When the client gets updated, it gets updated by the updated source. The way it works is your make changes and updates to the source and then compile the client from that. the source code is always upto date.

the official website bbqcoin.org looks good and professional now, nothing to complain anymore, good work Chad.

Now if everyone would stop moaning and start mining it would be better for BQC.

Thanks mate, it means a lot too me.

Now full steam ahead getting this coin up where it deserves to go.

the only thing that immediately annoys me about the design of bbqcoin.org right now is the tabs... home overlays the others and since there's no on-site page for them (yet) the others don't really exist like home does as the tabs would suggest

I see what you mean, like the menu links are all the external link and for forum is a subdomain.

There will be additions added to the site, I think a simple to follow guide page could be useful, maybe with the embedded YouTube Introduction guide video, which I will complete when my flat is quiet :-)

CaptChadd, I was bitching about the website design earlier. I've seen the update, and I love it now. Great work.

You guys are going to be hurting BBQCoin a lot more than you will be helping it with this whole fustercluck

Yes I know, I am just concentration on the offical bbqcoin.org website that was around long before BBQcoin was worth anything.

Thanks mate, its means alot. Glad I got it right this time :-)

We need a buy now button for BBQ like we have on here: http://www.igotspots.com/bitcoin.html

I'd love to add one for BBQ (Yes, I know we have to edit the BQC prices, they are too high right now)

Growing pains  ;D

We all want BBQ to succeed and at times keyboards move faster than brains   :) There are no hard feelings and we will work with anyone that is willing to move BBQ forward in a positive direction.

iGotSpots,
Good looking stuff on your site. I have 3000 sq/ft of tile with plenty of stains  :)

Buy it now buttons will take some work.  We will add it to our growing "To Do" list.

BTW I had never heard of NaVOBA. Do you like it? I was in the U.S. Marines for 8 years. Will have to look into joining.

Best of luck,
bigdaub

Just a reminder for pool operators to come signup and list their pools.

Most if not all pools get listed on Devtome, that's the best place for them and its where most users look.

I would rather list it here then sign up for yet another forum....

Thanks for the tip. I use the Devtome site to populate the Foundation website.

lopheaded - I will be sure to add yours as well.

Well I just finished round one of website updates. Currently modifying the Alloscomp calculator for BBQCoin. Should have this up by the end of the week. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook or stop by our forum and say hello. Happy mining everyone!

Just seen the website.

You have download links for the client and source code!

How many websites do we need offering these downloads? BBQcoin.org, BBQcoin.com and now BBQcoinfoundation.org!, are you guys trying to deliberately confuse new users?

You are turning BQC in a confusing mess and you are not helping the progress that we are trying to achieve.

I have been working on getting BQC on a third exchange but your foundation talk with its "Board" of members is putting them off.

Also you might need to change your "download" link for the BBQcoin client on your website as it leads to the bbqcoin.org download page with this written in the description.

"WARNING: Do not download BBQCoin clients from any web sites other than http://bbqcoin.org/"

All style but no content comes to mind :-)

This is the basics guys, if I want to download the latest Bitcoin client, I go to Bitcoin.org, the same with Litecoin.org and I would imagine most other coins out there.

I really don't understand what you are trying to do but it is creating confusion and also shows that you either cannot read or are just plain ignorant of warning messages.

Also a quote of what foundation means:

"A foundation (also a charitable foundation) is a legal categorization of nonprofit organizations that will typically either donate funds and support to other organizations"

Who are you supporting and who are you donating funds too? At the moment you are creating confusion within BBQcoin, the opposite of supporting it and just how much funding do you have? And are you funding anything else other than yourselves?

I ran BBQcoin.org at a loss out of my own money for 3 months before BQC became worth anything. THAT, is supporting a coin.

For those want to mine BBQ, here is a good place

http://bbq.ltcoin.net
 :D

Can you add this onto the Official BBQcoin.org Thread and I could get it added to DevToMe for you. I could even give you a Twitter ANN that another pool is out for BQC, it will go out to over 500 followers.

The lead developers/supporters for BQC (Chad and Figroll) are really doing a goob job at the moment and are even putting a lot of private time and money in it.

We are now already on 3 exchanges (Cryptsy, Vircurex and BTER) and value seems to be going up (slowly).

We do not need a foundation.

Yea just look at the bitcoin foundation, lots of people are not happy with it.

The website looks quite good actually. We should try merging all the BBQCoin projects together to increase our efficiency in promoting this great coin.
