Here we go, BBQ Wars Episode I (or should it be IV? Hmmm).
I kinda knew this was coming. I think I will stick with CaptChadd and bbqcoin.org. He put a lot of effort into bringing this coin from the dead, we owe him that. And you guys trying to make a hostile takeover kinda makes me want to stay away from anything you guys do.
By the way, where is the source code? How do we know this is not a trojan?
It's an open source coin though, to be honest everyone should just be collaborating together, though I don't really see a problem with multiple clients as long as they're all compatible, there's multiple bitcoin clients after all. And frankly I don't think the dumping is new anyway, the price has been in the toilet long before the new client release by bbqcoin.com.
The loss of vircurex isn't a huge deal anyways, there was never any volume on there, it's near impossible to trade anything without tanking the price one way or the other, it'll actually be better for price stability if everyone is trading on one exchange instead of spreading the thin volumes over several exchanges. To be honest I'm just glad that there's developer interest and frankly I don't think more developers is ever a bad thing. At least there'll be some competition to see who gets a mobile client working first, it'd be better if everyone just got along but I guess that's not going to happen though I don't think the blame should be on bbqcoin.com, because I've tried to help out with stuff before and K1773R basically just wasted his time posting insults and nonsense about reading nonexistent documentation when I was trying to modify the prefixes to get p2pool working for BBQCoin. Which is why his posts are permanently ignored by so many people. I almost had p2pool working months before other people finally helped out, I was literally 4 lines of code away from a working version, but K1773R was so antagonistic it makes people not want to help out with BBQCoin.
Either way, the new blood will either be good by providing competition for keeping up to date on releases or it'll be good if everyone learns to work together. Personally I think everyone should learn to be professional and work together before the coin gets booted from bter.com.
