QBC story came full circle for me tonight... Friday 11 April 2014 - I stumbled on http://bitcoinembassy.ca/ during my break-time web surfing... Research led to another and I ended up reading this QBC launch thread. Friday 18 April 2014 - I was off work and up for a long and laid bacl easter week-end. I rode the QBC launch with all the excitement (pools war and etc) throught out dinners with familly. Friday 25 April 2014 - I'm trading tweets with a guy who did a nice Bitcoin interview in French https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6khv3Rhe3qk. Only to find out the guy is actually the Public Relation director of http://bitcoinembassy.ca/ ahaha Inb4 cool story bro...  |

As someone has already stated, one issue regarding price is that the nation coin fad seems to have died down. So referencing spaincoin pumps or similar prices probably don't apply. So no pumps yet, and less price activity based on normal nation coin things, like airdrops. That was one of my concerns about the coin, as without the normal nation coin promo stuff, less people may be interested to start with ... then lower prices. It doesn't help that the coin is only on bittrex.
So long as the coin gets on a bigger exchange and some promotion occurs, including the giveaways to some quebec people like has been planned, I think the price will bounce up a bit. Multipool should help some too. I am not sure if it'd be a good idea to go too slow with it though, as the longer the dev waits, the greater the chance people will just forget about the coin. If poloniex doesn't take the coin, I'm not sure where else to look ... as other places are even smaller or are at best on par with bittrex volume.
It is weird how quickly fads change in cryptoworld. We went from memes, to nation coins, to pos + multipool + giveaway in like 10 weeks or so. Just during the delay between this coin's ann and its release, an entire coin fad sort of changed.
But you need to understand crypto-currencies / blockchain technology is like a 3D graph. There will be all sort of things and technologies created around it. In 5-10-50 years it might be cool to collect coins as opposed to spend them. Or somehing else we never really expected them to become. 10 years seems like for ever when you are following something as close as we are. But in the grand-scheme of things it's fuck all. Look at the rate technology/science has been evolving the past 20 years... it's unbelivable. We're on fast-forward.  Guys, We can have a blog post on this : http://www.geekbecois.com/I'm not good in writing, so can someone write an interesting article on QBC and I'll have it published? Edit: En francais seulement svp. French only please. Gah, j'aimerais aider! But my French is terrible. I cheated my way throught it in CEGEP (College) and I've been slowly loosing it over the past couple years. But I'm currently re-shaping this http://imgur.com/1t0674a into into a French/Quebecer "pamphlet" and hope to shape it in some form of QBC version with high level crypto-currencies information. I'll have my mommy correct it :B rofl... Je garde mes quebecoins je supporte cette pièce, j'aime l'idée je mine des quebecoin j'adore l'algorithme Go QBC!!:)  Fait du bien de lire ca. Nous sommes le 1% |

We can't expect the "old Bit heads" to be excited about Quebecoin. I mean the ones who know a lot about crypto currencies - These guys know better... They've seen shit! And until the pre-mine is locked, most of them wont give a single F.
The biggest IPO investment was barely 1500$? The whole IPO (20 BTC) was worth about 10,000$ at the time of creation. That's piss in the ocean.
Anyone in this thread that was here for a quick profit à-la AUR 2.0 should really get their shit together. Because the Quebecers themselves are not YET ready to make this coin jump in value spectacularly. But we are the ones who will make or break QBC over the year(s).
It took me 3 hours to fill in all the paperwork for my Vault of Satoshi account. It takes 3 days for money to be transferred. It is, and will be very easy for Quebecers and Canadians to get into QBC. But it'll need more time. The people need to learn about the technology first, and the options second. The media barely talked about Bticoin around here. When they did, most of them told everyone how unstable and obscure it.
On top of that, most of the information about it is in English. There's little to no fun & easy to understand information in French. Not that I know of at least... FYI - Most Quebecers speaks very little English and quite a lot of them do not speak it AT ALL.

yeah i love that price... lil bit less and my ipo is gone... i just dont get it
JP do you think we need to put a rush on the premine lock up, and make transparency happen. It may be part of the reason investors aren't stepping in. I could be wrong but who knows. I don't think the pre-mine lock will happen over a day. But don't kid yourself, this is exactly what we're "gambling" over... Let things cooldown. Let the ones who are in for an easy buck GTFO. Buy more affordable, non-pumped, barerly known coins. While mining, because why the hell not? Prepare a mother fucking solid premine lockdown that Quebecer and none-Quebecer can trust (blessed by the paupe, ETC). Meanwhile, target the right audience, and teach the people! TEACH EM ALL why cryptos are good for us. How to get them safely. How to mine them with their gaming PC! Wait for the next bubble. And while media hype is at it's fullest - unleash the premine lock-down, kick it into effect. You're left with strong hands at the best time ever, with a coin following promises. All that before the first air-drop happens. |

I'm gonna have to say it, how do coins like WC/Cinni gain 900% value in 2 days and QBC with a very active dev, a plan, media attention, and real goals barely moves. Crypto is so weird.
I'll take a smooth and steady growth over a 900% bubble. Bubbles are stressful and over-exciting. Iz bad for you health. hm-kay? |

If all goes well, JP could def be there in a year or two! |

I'll buy the 3000 QBC bounty off of who ever compile a legit QBC wallet. I'd buy the whole boutny at CURRENT EXCHANGE RATE in the coin of your choice. No volume issue.
So let say someone would rather receive 519170.60 DOGE instead of 3000 QBC (rate as of 14 04 24), I'd be willing to help make this happen.
If anyone else would like to carry that weight with me, we could set some sort of bouty group-support. 3000 QBC is almost 300$ US at current rate. A little heavy for me alone, but not impossible.

Here I corrected it, I'll post in in the french section! Put my name on it. I'll take the blame. lol |

Hey! that's great  !! |

have a try , maybe it's the first merchant of QBC. Can someone email Telus in french requesting the option to use QBC as payment please? Let them know it would put them on the cutting edge of payments and it has low fee's and no chargebacks in crypto, they may really love the idea! Telus is one of the "Big 3" we love to hate in Canada. They give no fuck about our interest. Sorry to blow your baloon  . What we really need right now in my opinion is: - Android wallet
- A reddit Tipbot
- IRC [ENG/FRA]
- Some sort of open forums to track discuss ideas, projects etc
- Etc.
E-mailing Telus is really not a priority lol.  |

So far I'm happy, not a big time scrypt miner at only 2mh/s  hehe but im happy I got my hands on some coins I will keep it, I also hope that you'll have paper wallets generator Also as a Quebecor I would like to know...how do you plan on expanding this coin to businesses IN quebec? (If you plan too), promoting it etc?Will you send out flyers will you call out to the media to expand knowledge about the coin to TVA, CTV MONTREAL, RDS, etc etc? I'm curious as to how far you are willing to go..i saw an article with caneo.ca but I would love to know about the expansion of the coin so as Quebecors and even those travelling to quebec who HAVE quebecoin how they would be able to use them here in quebec.... How do you plan to convince the skeptical Quebecor who have never heard of QBC or even BTC for that matter into using/accepting your coin wether at home or in business place... JP I admire the work you and your team has done but I do wonna know more!!! Hopefully you can give me a reply that will satisfy my craving for the future of this coin and also other peoples, I wonna see this coin thrive. Merci, Bonne soiree! This post was serious really looking forward to an answer from JP  The thing that struck me the most last week(s) was the amount of Quebec er that even knows about crypto-currencies overall. With QBC in Quebec, we could kill 2 bird with one stone - Explain the basic of crypto-currencies, while promoting Québecoin. The biggest problem is that most of the information is readily available in English only… So we have to either translate the good stuff, or create new one French. The first air-drop is planned in 2 years. We’ve got 2 years to clue them in as much we can |

We were added to Whatmine.com - Looks like QBC is currently the 14th most profitable coin to mine if I'm reading everything correctly.
Ahh sweet looking good, anything the community can help you with this week? From a Canadian P.o.V, I would love to see QBC on Vault of Satoshi. If you have any idea how we can make this happens, power to you! |

Coin launch are way too exciting . First time I participate in a launch. It reminded me why I no longer hang around forums to much. Even more a un-moderated one. It's wild, on one side - some of us celebrate the launch of something very uncertain. On the other side are some crying wolf about the very same uncertainty. Hopes and hate(s) flying around. Du coq a l’âne, J'suis vraiment curieux y'en a combien dans QBC qui sont même nord américain esti ahahaha. Le thread en francais a 2 page lmao. -no hard feeling!  Mais JP, j'regarde ça aller la. Pi y'a kekchose a faire avec ca! T'a dekoi entre les mains qui pourrait honnêtement être huge si tu le nail. Genre tu pourrai finir en genre de Elon Musk, dans quelques années. Ou bin Mark Karpeles ahahaha, mais din deux cas ça va être excitant. We should really get an official (or 2, bilingual) IRC in place. |

Hey everyone, back in front of my computer again, I'll be taking an hour or two to answer all PMs E-mails, questions etc and then it's back to work!
Hashrate still going strong, wallets syncing up, market has started. Things are going great!
price still sinking, IPOs haven't been paid. Send me your QBC address for the IPO also please. Picture me anal, but I'd like a wallet that doesn't require me to "hack it" to work. No urge too. DNS seed node will be up today, no more conf file needed. Perfect |
