I am a big fan of BBQcoin right now and I have been trying so long to improve the client and I have logo's splash pages all ready to go thank to the CaptChadd/Figroll team.
Could anyone please just give me a basic guide on how I could build the BBQcoin-qt with the icon changes within the source code.
I have already made the changes within the source code but now I just need to build the QT and this is the part that I am stuck at.
I can get myself access to a Linux OD based machine if I need too.
Please can someone assist me in anyway?
Many thanks.

Yes.
Tesla71, BBQCoin uses scrypt like Litecoin. You need to use Reaper or --scrypt with cgminer.
Yeah I know, otherwise no block would be accepted.. but the problem with such a low difficulty with mining on QT-Client is that there is no LP and therefore the miner keeps mining on the block he has just found and rejects it then.. This seems strange as I solo on a 7970 and I get blocks but no rejects. |

I don't know why that would be the case, I can solo mine BBQcoin just fine with reaper on my 7970.
But I don't solo all the time, I just do it for 20 minutes every few days just to see the network ticking over nicely and to get the difficulty.
It does work perfectly when mining with a cpu you though, which I rotate doing at well.
I think BBQcoin is great, more so without the stresses of exchanges and greed.

Is it the same one as at bbqcoin.org Windows build?
Thats the one I use and it is upto date right now.

I solo mine every few days but only for about 10 or 20 minutes. I just like getting a few blocks now and again and making sure the chain is still running.
Everything seems to be running nice and smooth right now.

The version that I downloaded a few weeks ago downloaded the whole blockchain fine. With the difficulty so low if someone mines suddenly with a lot of hashing power does that effect the chain at all?

Thanks for the help guys. I think at the moment I will try something more basic, like cosmetic changes and go from there. Maybe ending up with forking a coin for the experience.

Just a question: Is there any alive repository of the BBQCoin client?
You know, I needed to search a lot in this topic to find out the WIndows Binaries and no repository.
I got my Windows client off here aswell, there is not an official repository I don't think yet but as soon as there is I will post the link on my website. |

Sorted. I am just configuring the main site now and adding information and then will work on the forum.
I do need to have more contact with the Dev's though, just so I could find out the direction they are taking etc.

This is what I have been saying all the time on the exchange chatbox. We need a currency that has no external value other than itself and that is what BBQcoin is.
I am going to add a developers forum to the website I am developing so decisions like this can carry own and we can do one big brain storm.
Would people be interested in that? It will reduce any trolling that could happen along the way.

Would you be interested in getting involved in BQC at all?

I have looked all around Google and I am guessing that the learning curve is very steep.
I am not looking for a "How To" guide, just somewhere where I can start to learnt the basic's of alt-coin building and go from there.

Hi all,
I have been thinking about this for two years and I was wondering how I would go about creating my own Crypto Currency?
I see that there are a lot of alt coins, some of which have failed and some which have managed to carry on.
Can any one point me in the right direction to begin the creation of my own?
This is not for profit but just as this is my hobby and I get fun from learning and creating.
Thanks

In CoffeeMUD, it turns out that cooked food does not spoil, so characters who hunt, even just kill critters for the experience, basically BBQ the meat to turn it into a lasting resource. This not only stops them from getting sick eating rotten meat themselves, or having to waste meat by just throwing it away when it smells bad and hunting fresh meat again. So maybe this coin would be just the right coin for such players to favour.  Maybe even set a standard price list, so many for snake steak, s many for dragon steak and so on, depending on how regular a market they can make for their steaks... -MarkM- Interesting and mind opening. |

YAY Mined a block with my CPU  Tips welcome bDGpsC11uibQXCnQBht4GciLxi7Loaaucy Well done on your first block. I will send you a tip now, how does 500 BBQcoin sound? This coin is a lot of fun and can be much more than it already is. |

We can use them "by proxy" as it were in Ripple.
Basically if you trust my claim that I have mined some blocks of the coin way long time ago, long enough ago that there is more then one hard-coded checkpoint in the code now, so that even a 51%-plus attacker cannot undo those coins, you could consider trusting me for some number of IOUs, denominated in what I guess I will be listing as BBQ not as BQC since I think ordinary folk are far more likely to figure out at a glance the name of the coin if they see BBQ than they are likely to "intuitively know" what "BQC" stands for.
If you have told Ripple you trust me for X number of BBQ IOUs, presto I will be able to send you up to that many such IOUs, and presto BBQ will be useable in Ripple by proxy of these IOUs.
Once I get hold of source code for the Ripple server, I plan to get a Ripple server running so I can flag a Ripple account as the type of account used by Ripple gateways, which will let me start trying to get their example web-based app for transfers between blockchains and IOUs adapted to work with the BBQ blockchain; until then there is no automated way to turn the IOUs back into actual coins on the blockchain.
We'd be playing with our fun coin in Ripple as a fun way to check out Ripple, basically.
I also would prefer not to actually dig out those virgin coins because once moved there would be no hardcoded checkpoints protecting them. So I would not be redeeming IOUs with ancient coins, unless of course I had no more-recently-moved coins to redeem them with.
Thus I will be operating at at least 100% reserve and usually more than 100% reserve.
-MarkM-
Just wondering how this ripple will help BBQcoin and protect it? |
