people, we already have 11 logos! I do not need to think! we need a developer or a vote by which we will choose the best.

Last one is the best imo. It has the most "professional" look.

mac wallet for >10.7 and probably above, 64bit
please test

QREncode upnp.. have fun

this one was a difficult to make

can anyone check this ?
for some reason it can't connect to nodes
are there seed dns i can add/change in the code ?

Thank you so much!
Work great on 10.9.

I've spent a lot of hours trying to compile this wallet few days ago... but I had a lot of errors

New Website Updated http://www.Qubitcoin.net

Had a chance to update website some: added social aspect and activity streams, Wiki is started, added new forum's for projects and exchange's (future)

Added logo i liked, but waiting on official logo decisions any ideas, suggestions or help are very welcomed.

WWW.Qubitcoin.Net

[hiddenvalleyranch]

Website looks much better. Good work.

[havocpelt]

It seems that now there are two parallel efforts to make a website... I'd like to hear some official statement on this. Now it just looks like it's a race and whoever does it first, wins

I like the improvement, but can we use a template that looks a little bit more complex (less straight out of WP). I suggest we raise some funds with our Qubits to help you out or try to find the best free alternative.

Here are a couple of themeforest theme I bought in a bundle that I don't plan on using. I have a legal licence to use it and I could give it to you :

http://themeforest.net/item/silicon-responsive-wordpress-theme/3910239?WT.ac=solid_search_item&WT.seg_1=solid_search_item&WT.z_author=Laborator

I think the first one would look great easily. The second one is my favorite.

Please PM me if you are interested in getting for free one of these.

I would like to have a website with a little more detail. For example how is this coin different from Bitcoin, or Quark? What are these 5 hash algos? Since when are they alive? How much tested? Something like this. I could do some research, if you want?
Sent any amount, if you think this makes sense!

I like the first one. I am not the scroller. I like all the content on one page without scrolling. But they look all better than these of current page.
Then we need awesome pictures and more content (like I said, about algos and so on).

PS: Just for interest, how much does such a bundle cost in $?

[jackthecoiner]

Excellent! We have real progress!

0. Detailed coin description with all its strong sides. An IDEA which makes this coin DIFFERENT. Guys! We still need IDEAS! First one is that the coin is STRONG.
0.1 Post what you consider a strong side and an IDEA of the QBIT
0.2 Vote for the main IDEA and several strong sides
0.3 Logo. We must have perfect logo. We need at least 5 options. Brilliant! Now we have 11! Developers! Topic owner! We need voting!
1. Social networks Developers! 5k QBIT sent as social network community donation as promised.
1.1 Create communities subreddit and facebook ready, google plus and more to go
1.2 Invite friends, increase popularity
1.3 Perform a giveout/lottery/competition/etc
2. Site
2.1 Create site. Even a page for the beginning. Page created. Site is under construction.
2.2 Add wiki, forum, etc. Site is under construction.
3. Exchange and so on
3.1 Cryptsy. Make them to add this coin. Cryptsy thread active. We should force it after the site is created.
3.2 QBIT/USD exchange
3.3 Online wallet
4. Services that accept QBIT
4.1 Create a site that will accept QBIT. It can be even mobile phone payment site or VPN accepting QBIT. Any online service will be perfect.

matrixfighter! Ahha!

I suppose that now is the moment to cooperate and combine your efforts to make a perfect site. www.qubitcoin.net is not bad. In addition there could be a mirror www.qbit.co.in
This coin needs good brand and marketing management. Let's do it.

I would like to have a website with a little more detail. For example how is this coin different from Bitcoin, or Quark? What are these 5 hash algos? Since when are they alive? How much tested? Something like this. I could do some research, if you want?

Yes. We need a research!
I'd like to donate but I can't donate more than I mine =) I hope community will help.
Guys, please donate a couple of coins as a research reward.

The bundles are pretty much always 500 $ worth for the price of 20 $. They are so worth it that our company always buys them in case we need something down the road....which is often the case. Considering each WP theme is 40-60 bucks each it's worth it.

You can see past bundles here. I sign up for their newsletter as they don't spam, they only advertise when a bundle is launched.

If anyone needs help to create content or to setup the theme I could help. I have only light skills in that field but I think I could help I've set up multiple websites.

Some information about hashing functions in qubit algorithm

1) Luffa

Luffa is a new family of hash functions submitted to NIST for their cryptographic hash algorithm competition.
Luffa is a variant of a sponge function proposed by Bertoni et al., whose security is based only on the randomness of the underlying permutation. Different from the original sponge, Luffa uses plural permutations in parallel and a stronger messsage injection function.

2) CubeHash

CubeHash is a cryptographic hash function submitted to the NIST hash function competition by Daniel J. Bernstein. CubaHash has a 128 byte state, uses wide pipe construction, and is ARX based. Message blocks are XORed into the initial bits of a 128-byte state, which then goes through an r-round bijective transformation between blocks. The initial NIST proposal ("Cubehash8/1") required about 200 cycles per byte. After clarifications from NIST, the author changed the proposal to Cubehash16/32, which "is approximately 16 times faster than CubeHash8/1, easily catching up to both SHA-256 and SHA-512 on the reference platform" while still maintaining a "comfortable security margin".
CubeHash advanced to the second round of the competition, but was not chosen as one of the 5 finalists.

3) SHAvite

SHAvite-3 is a secure and efficient hash function design by Eli Biham and Orr Dunkelman. SHAvite-3 is based on the HAIFA construction and the AES building blocks. SHAvite-3 uses a well understood set of primitives such as a Feistel block cipher which iterates a round function based on the AES round. SHAvite-3's compression functions are secure against cryptanalysis, while the selected mode of iteration offers maximal security against black box attacks on the hash function. SHAvite-3 is both fast and resource-efficient, making it suitable for a wide range of environments, ranging from 8-bit platforms to 64-bit platforms (and beyond).

4) SIMD

SIMD is a cryptographic hash function based on the Merkle–Damgård construction submitted to the NIST hash function competition by Gaëtan Leurent. It is one of fourteen entries to be accepted into round two of the competition, but was not shortlisted for the third and final round.
The designer states that the "most important component of SIMD is its message expansion, which is designed to give a high minimal distance". The algorithm's speed is claimed to be 11-13 cycles per byte.

5) Echo

ECHO, a cryptographic hash function designed for the NIST SHA-3 competition, offers:
- a simple and clean design,
- a high and well-understood security margin,
- support of the Intel AES instructions set, and
- a fully flexible design to support different properties with the same primitive.

Where is the dev? Haven't heard from him in a couple of days.

Please try adding some of these nodes http://q2c-[Suspicious link removed]/nodes.

Sorry, did you think change in settings NETWORK connect throught SOCKS proxy? I should add last one from list, or try more from there? Thank you for your advise.

I suppose that now is the moment to cooperate and combine your efforts to make a perfect site. www.qubitcoin.net is not bad. In addition there could be a mirror www.qbit.co.in
This coin needs good brand and marketing management. Let's do it.

@jackthecoiner qubitcoin.net is just a ready wordpress template - and everyone can tell that it is.  Maybe it'll do for the initial days, although I'm of a belief that if something is done it should be done right the first time -- same for the website, same for the choice of Exchange (I don't think that Qbit should be introduced on CoindUp, it should be Cryptsy that should house Qbit first).  But I'm building a Community site like Bitcoin.org, but better, which is more like a web-app from bottom up on a different development platform, and as I said I will demo it online in a few weeks.  

And thank's for pointing one of your workers to that wallet address.  I wish more people were contributing toward this much needed project.I guess they will when they will see the first version online.
