Well y'know, when all you have to mine with are CPUs, or maybe just one GPU, it really isn't in your interest to encourage large GPU farms to come drive up the difficulty.

Tenebrix and Fairbrix are the same position right now, except rather than being rumoured to be a joke they are rumoured to be dead.

The end result though, which is months and months and months of peace and quiet for CPU miners to hum away hi ho hi ho its off to hash I go, is the same.

Much fairer, I think, than the GPU miners' approach of "we raped all the coins, lets launch a new one to rape".

(The one GPU, of course, merged-mines all the merged-mine-able coins; as there is no point driving up the difficulty of the Scrypt coins Tenebrix and Fairbrix prematurely; putting a GPU on them would just force others to also put a GPU on them, everyone would spend more electricity for the same number of coins, it'd just be wasteful and impolite.)

well not worthless now,  price will go up slowly

Well that is part of it. If the big farms thought an exchange might be coming, presto they'd be there and the halcyon days of CPU mining would be over.

.org. Always has, always will

[markm]

Are the current custodians of the .com and .net on this forum?

As really the big-three domains would be the most logical ones to put the DNS seeds on but obviously that is screwed if their admins are not reliable, cannot be trusted to keep the seeds up to date etc.

CaptChadd, how did you came about BBQCoin? what did get your interest to restart it ?

The fact that it was labelled as a joke and most thought it was worthless.

Translation: he had a lot of worthless BQC and had to convince people it was worth something before he could start to sell any.

Come on guys, you're not fooling anybody here. Nobody will judge you for being motivated financially. But I will definitely be suspicious of you if you talk like a politician.

I have 100,000 BQC, do you class that as a lot?

[markm]

I don't. I sold more than a million before the exchanges opened, trying to sell in batches of that size though some I did let go in smaller sized lots.

You ought to be a major holder, if you want another 100k or few hundred k contact me before trying to buy them at tourist prices (aka on the public exchanges).

(The market-making scripts for the Digitalis Open Transaction server's markets customarily use three scales of market and use 1%, 2%, and 3% margins on them, 1% on largest scale, 2% on medium scale, 3% on retail scale. )

(Some pairs use 2%, 3% and 4%, or even larger spreads, due to the relative values of the two assets of the pair or the expcted or typical volatility etc.)

Looks like that makes the the largest BQC holder right now

[markm]

That is your hot-wallet?

How many similar scale cold-wallets?

Absolutely. Regardless of what MarkM says, it's very clear you stand to benefit financially from BQC's success (since, after all, 100k is 0.6% of all BQC. 0.6% of all LTC is currently $345,000.)

I don't have a problem with that - if you have a hand in its success, you should share in the reward - but we shouldn't pretend like the motivations are entirely selfless. That's pretty dishonest.

You appear to have added a black pixel next to your 5 with an image editor.

How odd.
