[ANN] [EQB] [REBOOT...] EquestrianBit - currency of friendship

[ratty]

The git repo hasn't updated in 11 days.
I don't run precompiled wallets, sorry.

p.s. Not a single pony pic in this thread. The dogecoins guys are more into doge than you guys are into pony. This is making me want to make my own coin, if the coin creator is the only one that even admits to being a MLP fan. I posted about this on my forum, and people are asking how to get it, etc.. and I kind of don't want to tell them if this is just a bunch of non-bronys trying to cash in on someone else's subculture.

There was no pre-mine... so how can he cash in? In fact he is a student and don't even have .25BTC

Github repo is latest. Only thing that is missing in repo are some fixes to make it compile with Qt 5, but they are not necessary for Qt 4 and I will push them soon. About low amount of bronies mining this coin... that makes me sad to, but don't worry, they will come.

[with the lemons!]

And it's definitely not coin for profit! If I wanted to make coin for profit, I would make 50% premine or something like that. Oh, I'm sorry, premine is bad word, they usualy call it "IPO" these days

[with the lemons!]

Giveaway ended! I will contact winner soon.

[Ashbite]

we should really all spread the word about this coin on twitter etc.
so funny how people are not picking it up.
sweet launch, good developer, 0% premine, fun concept.

It's because there's not enough actual bronies here, I think its just me and lemons.

I noticed in my own community there wasn't much interest in cryptocurrency in general, there's not a lot of overlap for some reason. It would make for a good study to try to figure out why that is, but I only know 2 bronies that are at all interested in Bitcoins, and they are barely into it.

If we can get an EqD post, there will be a lot of people checking it out for a day, and most of the views will be that day only, so you gotta be ready. I would suggest having a clear path for people to get help, such as promoting that IRC channel, since you'll get a lot of newbies that never bothered with it until there's a pony themed coin. Have some giveaways where you give away tiny amounts to get people giving it to each other for fun, so they can learn the magic of crytpocurrency.
How about a subreddit?
An OC is a must too, though that borders on copyright issues.

A nice horse game can be nice too... An EqD post, what is EqD?

[ratty]

Aw dude you just outed yourself as a non-brony.
EqD is the #1 site for MLP information, http://www.equestriadaily.com/
Do not email them asking for a mention, wait for Lemons to do it, we only get one shot and we need to be ready for it. Most likely it will get into a "nightly roundup" which is their nightly batch post of less important stuff, and doesn't get as nearly much attention as a dedicated post. But if it gets its own post, there will be a fuckload of traffic for that day. A lot of crytpocurrency newbies would be visiting the website, and things should be as easy as possible. We should get a faucet setup before then too. I can donate some EQB coins if someone sets one up. I'd do it, but I'm not having much luck finding any prepackaged php scripts or whatever.
I can promote it on other communities I'm in, but we have to get our shit together first.

BTW lemons I idle in IRC in a screen session, one of these days I'll be on at the same time as you.

I really have no clue why i continue mining this one, maybe i like to take a risk, and you never know.... mining is easy, so when suddenly difficulty jump to 1 then the reward is already 10 times less, and when it jump to 10 then already 100 time less, so maybe 1M EQB is worth 0.10BTC

[tibbyte]

Difficulty increased, it is difficult to produce a coin.

if this coin gets attention and the hashrates grow exponentially you will see 1million for 1 btc.

[PeaMine]

Net hash is climbing fast, some one get this coin listed or just more miners?

How to make this popular coin? How do popular coin? I think the coin was there anything to be popular, but ... 

[PeaMine]

Net Hash rate has nearly tripled in the past 4 hours 

[CryptoCoinMania]

I almost have a faucet coded and complete.  Just finishing up the error checking.  I'm still fighting the end stages of the flu so I have to do this in spurts lol.  I should have it done this evening.

[ratty]

That is good news, a faucet is a must. I've been trying to get this one setup, but there is little in the way of install docs.
