61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 promising altcoins you invested? on: May 01, 2018, 04:51:14 PM
I don't keep me 5 altcoins, I just have 5 cryptos at at all in my portfolio.
Besides BTC/ETh, I have NEO, EOS and Ripple still. I avoid LTC this year, but that's my personal thing) no insights, just don't feel it's going to do numbers any soon

Most of the fiat money and currensies also sucks. We still compare everything to $ or €, sometimes £, and it's reliable and profitable. Here is the same thing

There's been a lot of active on C-Cex over the past 24 hours. Somebody is making some pretty massive buys! I guess they are getting ready for Phase II of BTQ Development...which includes the BTQ Auction Site!

I've been buying some. It seems like BTQ has something most other coins don't, a non-technical fan base and development support.  What are you up to like 4 fan sites on facebook?

Almost all the other coins I see are primarily miners stockpiling and hoping to make a profit on them. 

I've never seen a hot girl show support doge coin, litecoin or quark. 

Maybe 100 to 150 coins came out at the beginning of the year and most are dying off, bitquark sure seems like it's growing.

It's a shame all the people who got screwed over at Quarkbar and Entropybit didn't adopt bitquark instead of trying to save those dead coins.

Anyone know of a good faucet php script that will work for BTQ?  We're planning to install faucet support for coinlocator.org

I might have a plain old basic php faucet script that works with BTQ...just gotta figure out where I put it. When I find it, I'll PM you


Thanks, but we got it.  We're going to set up a custom system that works for all the supported coins the same way.  It's not what I ideally want for it, but it works.

I have no idea what's going on with the guy who paid for the cryptofleamarket.  The BTQ version is working but it's missing a lot of content and the guy who paid for it isn't responding.  The LTC version works as well, but again, no response to our questions and approvals.  Usually my clients disappear after the site's are done and before they pay, not after they pay and before the sites are done.

I for one am enjoying bitquark.  I'm beginning to think more people in my area know what it is than they do bitcoin!

Well guys, I just talked with a guy about making the BTQ Android wallet and it looks like we might have one by the end of the weekend if everything goes right!!!! :-D It's just gonna cost me 0.6 BTC (~$225 USD)

Shouldn't you be saying it's going to cost us?  I'm up to donate a 0.0005 BTC or two.

Maybe set up a BTQ donation address for wallet development and try to get some support from the community?  All the BTQ donated gets sold on X date and the proceeds go towards the wallet creation?  In some way bitquark pays for bitquark development?



That's a good idea Danny! If you would like to donate BTC to BitQuark development, you can send donations to this BTC address 1BBAM2sDa8sVP65zvWr46wjwh9ivqsu25C

This will help pay for the development of the BTQ Android wallet.




Is that a bitcoin address or bitquark address?

Also, do you accept paypal?

I convert digital currencies I receive straight away.  I'd be willing to contribute part of it but I don't have dependable bitcoin or bitquark.

Looks like the word about BitQuark is finally getting out! As each day passes more and more people are joining the pool and mining BTQ!!!

That's good to hear.  Quick question I'm hoping the community can answer, the coin locator user pin forms need to validate the user's wallet address as a check to make sure the user has a real wallet address and that it's actually being used (e.g. has a transaction).  We're using variations of the following for bitcoin, litecoin, quark and dogecoin:

Code:
<?php
require_once('jsonrpcphp/includes/jsonRPCClient.php');
/** SIMPLE BITCOIN JSON RPC PHP**/
 
$btc_connect = array("user" => "",            
            
"pass" =>   "",                   
            
"host" =>   "blockchain.info",                     
            
"port" =>   80);                        
 
 
//create an array with connection settings
 
$bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient("http://{$btc_connect['user']}:{$btc_connect['pass']}@{$btc_connect['host']}:{$btc_connect['port']}");

$address 'bitcoinaddress';
$isvalid $bitcoin->validateaddress($address);
if($isvalid['isvalid']) {
//Address valid
}
else{
echo '---------'.$address.'---------';
}
?>

Is there any kind of blockchain api for bitquark which allows for a similar check?  We don't want to install blockchains for multiple coins.  If not we may just go with a base58 check to verify wallet address structure and skip the transaction check.

Thanks.

Would anyone be willing to pledge a bounty towards finding a dev to fix EBT? I'm down for 100k. The dev has abandoned the coin. Anyone who wants a community take over can pledge towards the bounty of getting a dev to fix this. Beyond that, we'll need someone to take over management of EBT.

I think a lot of us don't have anything to pledge as we lost all our coins with the last wallet update.  Personally, I'm not going to spend additional bitcoins or dollars in the hopes that I may get back my old coins back and may get back the value I originally put into it, plus the additional spent on getting the missing coins back.

Should EBT become a stable coin again we can still add them to the upcoming coinlocator.org and I can check if the person we're designing the crypto flea market for is still interested in listing it.

Coming soon, btq.coinlocator.org

Users will be able to enter cross streets and get added to an interactive map database so you can see where all the bitQuark users are.

Does anyone know if the entire wallet and blockchain data can be stored in custom locations?

right now the wallet file bitquark-qt.exe looks like a single file with no dependencies that can be stored anywhere, but when launched it still produced files in \users\%name%\appdata\roaming\bitquark\

I thought I'd ask before playing around since I'm hoping if it's feasible to produce something like this:



but customized for bitquark wallets.

I know the blockchain size would be an issue eventually.  Right now it looks like it's about 700MB so an 8bg card would probably last a while and would put the price point at $19.99 USD ( or 44,000 BTQ at current values )

Speaking of blockchain size, any thoughts on how to handle it's exponential growth once BTQ becomes widely adopted and used?

Anyone think there'd be any interest is a USB credit card wallet? 



You can change the 'data' location by doing the following.
If you have already downloaded the data then you will have to move the data to the new folder. If you want to store them in D:\BitQuarkData then click on "Properties" of a shortcut to bitquark-qt.exe and add -datadir=D:\BitQuarkData at the end as an example:
Code:
"C:\BitQuark\bitquark-qt.exe" -datadir=d:\BitQuarkData

Worked perfectly! 

I created a MyBitQuarkWallet.bat file with:

%CD%\BitQuarkData\bitquark-qt.exe -datadir=%CD%\BitQuarkData


An and autorun.inf with:

[AutoRun]
OPEN=MyBitQuarkWallet.bat
ACTION=Run BitQuark Wallet
LABEL=My USB BitQuark Wallet


and placed them on the USB drive as the only 2 files.

I then created a folder on the USB drive called BitQuarkData and in there placed:

bitquark-qt.exe


The autorun worked perfectly on XP and Vista, Win7 and Win8 though I still had to manually click on the .bat file.  It took a while to download the blockchain, but I could have manually copied that over.

Anyways, I now have a totally separate wallet entirely on a generic credit card USB drive.  Now as long as the blockchain never grows beyond 7GB it's all good!  I can carry around a bitquark wallet in my wallet.

Now if I want to give a friend or family member who knows nothing about computers some bitquark to spend I can do the same procedure, load a few BTQ into thier wallet as their first transaction, slap a bitquark decal on the generic drive and boom.

All we need now is someone with some experience making an autostart application that maybe provides some options like:

 - Run My Wallet
 - Guide to BitQuark
 - Something Something...
 - Something Else...

and we have a portable wallet any non-techie can use.


I know some of you are laughing at me because this is probably a no-brainer, but I'm trying to think of ways to promote bitquark and get the computer illiterate crowd involved.



https://electrum.org/tutorials.html

Something like that might be a solution for the blockchain size issue and might also make the wallet speed up a bit. 

I read what you did and liked the idea.  I created two self-extracting archives to start off with (USB BitQuark Install.exe) following your steps to put everything in the correct place, one without blockchain data and one with.

What I found was:

1. The self-extracting archive without the blockchain worked great, opened quickly, but is taking forever to download the blockchain on USB 2.0 which I think is due to the 480Mbps speed limit.  Maybe USB 3.0 would be better since it's supposed to have a 5Gbps speed cap but if you're targeting non-technical people with older equipment that wouldn't work for everyone.

2. The self-extracting archive with the blockchain would hang repeatedly.  It would open eventually, but again, the delay and the hangs would put off the average non-technical user and give them pause.

Nice idea though having a branded credit card sized external USB bitquark wallet to carry around, but it appears blockchain size is going to be an issue and not just for bitquark.

Still, for those of us with a little technical knowledge I'm loving your post DT.

Thanks for the plugs DannyTom, and the help with testing.

http://btq.cryptofleamarket.com is in the live testing phase.

We still have some work to do with layout and re-design since we've changed architecture and have a new designer working on the project, but functionality seems to be going well. 

We encourage users of the bitQuark currency to signup, post items for sale and send us feedback.

Since the devs never responded, we're moving support for the crypto fleamarket to bitQuark.  The dev of that coin is very active and there seems to be a lot of community support.

http://btq.cryptofleamarket.com - Sell your items for bitQuark and buy items with bitQuark.

We're still in the live testing phase and working out some kinks, but we encourage people to sign up and start listing items.  Nothing beats trial by fire.

152.15182 BTQ = $1 USD

Need BTQ on a few more exchanges to even out the pricing.  No "merchant" sellers are interested in BTQ yet, but that doesn't prevent the community from buying items with BTQ and selling items for BTQ.  Keep promoting the coin.






74  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ★★ EBT Coin - PoW/PoS - Now Trading on Europex!!★★ on: April 29, 2014, 05:11:46 PM
Regarding the EBT/USD rates on http://cryptofleamarket.com/rates at the moment we're only calculating the trade volume/pricing from PoloniEX into the rate.

Once EBT gains a little more volume on EuropEX we'll include it into our rate calculator and average the EBT/USD rate across multiple sources like we do with BTC, LTC and QRK.

So don't be alarmed if you see EBT trading for 85 on EuropEX, 34 on PoloniEX and we list a price of 5,496.671 EBT = $1 USD, just part of the volatility of a new market with a limited user base.

If you can get EBT on MintPal, SwissCEX and C-CEX that would be great too.  It would really help stabilize the USD rate we're suggesting buyers and sellers opt for at the flea market.

Speaking of which, we're modifying the back end so sellers can list an item for multiple coins (I want to sell my old blue-ray player for $10 and I'll accept BTC, QRK or EBT for it). 

Once we get enough sales data on what people want for their junk and what coin amounts they're selling for we're hoping to compile a separate price index which will value coins against USD not so much on speculative trading via exchanges, but based on real market buying/selling goods and services activity.

This will let us know what price EBT goes for on an exchange, and what price EBT goes for in the consumer's mind and help to separate alt-coin prices from being linked directly to the BTC/USD valuation.

Anyone know the innerworkings of creating an EBT faucet?  We're thinking of setting up a faucet for each of the coins the flea market officially supports.
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BTQ] BitQuark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: April 27, 2014, 04:25:23 AM
Hoping to have the styling and overall design finished in the next two weeks and the beta launch for sellers to start putting up items shortly thereafter.  Since very few people even know how to spend bitcoins and even fewer have heard about alt-coins we need all the sellers we can get to help generate interest in crypto-currencies.

Don't feel you're forced to sell for crypto-currencies.  If a buyer contacts a seller, parties are free to haggle pricing and currency type.  It's a flea-market after all.  The goal is primarily to have a place where the average joe (or joan) can sell stuff for coins. 

Have a cast iron skillet you don't use since you gave up red meat?  Want a few LTC for it?  List it at the flea market.

Have an old circular saw just taking up space in your garage?  Want a few BTQ for it?  List it at the flea market.

One person's junk is another person's crypto-currency.

5,092.306 EBT = $1 USD

It's gone up every time I've checked it today.  Still way undervalued though.

That price is heavily tied to a few transactions but it's valid.  EBT is now open for trading on EurpoEU.eu and votes look promising on SwissCEX for future rounds of additions.

This one will be tough to maintain a stable price.  It doesn't look like anyone wants to sell due to staking.

SUPER SALE 10000 BTQ (BitQuark) for 0.24 BTC [very cheap]

BTQ Price Update

85.54101 BTQ = $1 USD

so 10,000 BTQ is worth about $117 and he's selling for about $115 as of 6:23 CST based on active trading at C-CEX.com

Another client is asking us to build something like the coindesk BPI (Bitcoin Price Index) so it's taking away some of our time to finish the Crypto Flea Market.  Good news is we've been getting interest from some of our local merchant clients (a bar and a carpet cleaner) who's interested in accepting BTC.  That's good for BTQ too since the prices are tied together.

;(

Don't worry. Probably just a tear in the time-continuum...

Strange.

Maybe best to go to you users\{username}\appdata\roaming\ebt  folder and delete everything except wallet.dat and a .conf. Then restart and see if it can load it correctly again. (it will have to reload the blockchain)

That's alarming.  Devs?

EBT Price Update

5,594.845 EBT = $1 USD
