There is a few more than just me and Circo. A handful of early-adopters who understands that there’s a lot of room for crypto to grow in Quebec. There are other communities that are actively trying to promote Bitcoin and other cryptos in Quebec, and Canada. But I strongly believe “Québecoin” will sound much better to their ears. It’ll sting their curiosity better.
This is a follow-up to all the participants and not necessarily to you Lemayilleur.
I agree that inactive dev is very bad news but the plan is moving forth as set in the initial post. IPO is there. Premined is there. It is transparent as planned.
It is a SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW-ASS plan that has nothing in it for people who strip mine and dump coins on the market. I know people put in a lot of BTC into a lot of IPOs. I buy a crap load of shit coins only to see them crash and burn. I don't care to cry about it, it's part of the deal of participating in the greatest decentralized P2P research and development project since the Internet.
This weekend is the 19th anniversary of me calling morinpa to get root on his machine to deploy a search engine. He told me to fuck off and hung up on me. Then we had a baby. I can vouch for him as an honest and very trustworthy person who was not born yesterday. Also, I work on him to be more involved but he has a rather high responsibility tech job. Lemeyeur, my spouse Stéphane and myself are working on projects to link up the members of the community who are HERE in Quebec and can actually talk to others in PERSON to present crypto-currency in French and get some adoption going. We will train people to mine the only X11 coin that has a low enough difficulty to be fun to mine right now.
This is a research and development project, not a get rich quick scheme!
Here's another thing for people who don't even live in this province and cannot possible understand the place Québecoin has in it and why we REAL LIFE PEOPLE care so much about technological advancements and R&D.
In the early 80's my father, Léo Richard left his job working for the joint Canadian and U.S. defense research center in Valcartier, Québec. Most people do not know that some of the most successful war machines of the United States were developed here in Québec by unknown people like my father. At Valcartier, he had a lab like Tesla's, a huge budget and worked on early laser prototypes, radars, The Ferret (advances audio pick-up and analysis) and the ancestor of the Patriot missiles. He also ordered a semi-truck full of early computers (Altairs) and re-wrote the operating system. After such exciting time, he took a contract with BA/AF and he was one of the 7 engineers that put the Concorde in the air. Then he came home and wrote a course proposal for 'Techniques de Systèmes Ordinés' (TSO) which is one of the first courses in Computer Science at the college level in Canada. He spent the rest of his career teaching 18-19 year olds about the fundamental inner working of computers.
I have been kept out of sciences all my life because I am a woman. Learning to program websites has been a way for me to continue to hang out with techs, engineers and nerds. I have been teaching people about the Internet for 20 years. I even participated in a book about Women and STEM and am a mentor at Ladies Learning Code. I am a consummate lurker and student of online communities (or at least the ones that are not gross hangouts for sociopaths) Circonference.ca is the first time I have publicly shared my research with others and where I am showing my real life identity and not a male-sounding pseudonym.
My next project is to teach teenagers about crypto-currency. Why teenagers? Because they are not being taught the basics of economics, money, credit and trade as it applies to the current world economic system. Also, because I can, through my own media, talk about my successes and failing at getting a course like this built and taught. I will never be accomplished scientifically like my dad, but I can try the same techniques and see where it leads me. Also, I have found an ally in morinpa's daughter who is becoming super intrigued by crypto-currency. Why would I not want my child to understand money of the future? I would also like other people's kids to understand how money works (or doesn't) and where it's going.
So I have mentioned 5-6 people here who are part of the real-life community of Québecoin. That is like a huge percentage of people who know or care about Québecoin in this neck of the woods. Québecoin belongs collectively to the people of Québec. We live in a cultural bubble that has yet to wake up to crypto-currency. I need Québecoin to continue on the path it is right now. Its unit value does not matter to me. I am not in it for the money.
We have access to the talent and technology to take over Québecoin if J.P. asks us to but we are much more vested in being supportive and working on the SHITLOAD of other efforts that surround the development of a coin.
I read every post here and still cannot figure out the goal of outsiders who sit around the pool like unpopular kids and throw trash into it because they are bored. If you cannot explain where you fit into this effort, I will continue to assume that you are in it for the money and have nothing worthwhile to contribute to our community. I will continue to assume that I will never meet you in person in order to talk crypto. I will continue to assume that knowing you would not enhance my life or my work in any way.
If you fork and break Québecoin then it will not fail because of the doom you predict but because of the strike you inflict on it. Your point will not be proven.
Sincerely,
Marie-Lynn
You sound like a very inspired person. Put together a team. Take cryptocurrency to Quebec and, possibly, the world. Go for it! Dreams do come true.
