Is it normal the the pre-mine is not longer 50%? I didn't think the premine would be used for anything but air-drop.


By the way, I found this webpage/tool for open crowd translation... This could be very usefull.

Hi everyone,

One of my friend and I are planning to write a rather comprehensive series of articles in French to promote Québecoin in Québec.

We were really excited by the announcement of the coin. It was a relief to see JPGagnon's brilliant effort to put up a credible cryptocurrency for Québec, in a way that very effectively promotes the national identity of Quebecers and supports the rationale for them having their own crypto currency, while cleverly keeping away from any ideological or political justifications -- which is, in Québec, a véritable tour-de-force in my view. As JPGagnon brilliantly supports, Québec is definitely a fertile land to grow a national cryptocurrency. He's actually bringing to reality what most crypto-enthusiasts have been thinking of, in a way that could hardly have been better executed.

We'd be more than glad if the community would feed us with some indications, material, ideas or references that would help make those articles interesting to the average Quebecer, or if anyone is willing to get involved in authoring or co-authoring one of these articles. Here is the approximate order of the subjects we want to cover in the series.

1. Présentation du Québecoin / Presentation of Québecoin
Many people have already heard of Bitcoins in Quebec, but in general the public knowledge is rather poor about it. And as someone already stated here, the medias are rather stiff about it and generally emphasize the unreliable/risky part of if. The goal of the first article is to bring the attention on the fact that Quebec now has it's own currency, and use this as a lever to educate the readers about the fact that Bitcoin has already multiplied in many other cryptocurrencies, each with their own particularities. We would also introduce the concept of regional currencies, making the parallel with Auroracoin (Iceland's response to their financial collapse had pretty good publicity on social networks in Québec), and I'm thinking of including a reference to the Mazacoin as well. Quebecers are generally very sensitive about native issues, the defense of the rights and equity, and the other cultural identities. I would, at this stage, certainly need some explanations on what is and how IPO works, and what it implies for Québecoin in particular.

2. Pourquoi les cryptomonnaies? / Why cryptocurrencies?
I'll leave the redaction of this article to my friend, who has already made a lot of research in the past on the banking system as part of his anthropology studies. The idea is to compare the cryptocurrencies with the traditional national fiat currencies. Cryptocurrencies are a very effective tool to approach the very basic facts about the banking system and the way it issues money, which are completely ignored by the vast majority of people. Hopefully, this article can help open their eyes on who issues the fiat money and how the cryptocurrencies are questioning this, offering alternatives to traditional trust money. This would also allow exposing some perspective with the reality of Québec and the Québecoin.

3. Crypto 101 (Cryptomonnaies pour les nuls / Cryptocurrencies for dummies)
The purpose of this article is to inform on the way cryptocurrencies actually work. I'll start by stating that cryptography has very ancient roots, and exposing, in a way easy to understand, the very central cryptographic theorems on which crypto currencies rely: the fact that « anything that can be done with a trusted authority can also be done without it » through cryptography, and maybe some vulgarization of the concept of zero-knowledge proof (some ideas about it and how to explain how it plays in cryptomoney would definitely be welcome). This part would advocate that cryptocurrencies are based on rigorous scientifical facts. I would then brush a quick history of the theories on crypto money, so to show that bitcoin didn't pop out from nowhere, but was the first effective application of long-lasting research (any insights welcome). Then I'll jump into more technical stuff. Having read the bitcoin whitepaper recently, I was surprised how easy it actually was to understand. I think it wouldn't be that hard, from there, to make the basics understandable to anybody showing a little will to understand. From there we could trace the history of bitcoin, mining pools, the multiplication of cryptocurrencies, the ASIC frenzy, the introduction of Scrypt and Litecoin, and finally Darkcoin and X11, leading to Quebecoin, but now that I'm talking about it, I realize that this article could easily be split in 2 or 3 articles!

4. Utilisation du porte-monnaie / Using the wallet
Now that the Quebecoin and cryptocurrencies no longer have secrets for the average reader, he's ready to start using a Quebecoin wallet. Basically, this will be a concise tutorial on how to install the wallet, receive and send coins. This is where, for the average reader, cryptomoney stops being an abstract, fuzzy concept, and materializes. Of course, installing a wallet with no money to trade won't probably be a very empowering exercise, so at this stage, it would be cool to organize some giveaways, for example, sending a Quebecoin to anyone registering to a community site, installing the wallet and providing a valid address, while suggesting Quebecoin addresses of Québec organisms to which they can send some back, completing both transactions while helping some causes of their choice. Such an operation would enforce both their feeling of empowerment and the sense of community behind the currency.

5. Comment "miner" le Québecoin / How to "mine" Québecoin
A central property and innovation of cryptocurrency is the way it is emitted. It is important that this concept is well understood by people, and to make it easy for them to start mining the coin themselves. This brings the "empowerment" feeling of the currency one notch higher. So this would take the form of a tutorial as well, bringing concise and immediate information on mining, usage of CPU and GPU, how to install and configure a miner, how to register to a pool and start mining right away. The goal is to make mining accessible to anyone who can use a mouse and can be guided to run a shell command. For this article, I'm thinking of using SuchPool as a reference, since it is, to my knowledge, the only serious Québecoin local pool whose servers are actually located in the province. I can link to other pools as well. (Comments and ideas welcome.)

6. Comment échanger ses Québecoins / How to exchange your Québecoins
Money isn't money if you can't spend it. If we want Quebecers to adopt the coin, at some point they will need to be able to spend them to buy stuff. This implies either: 1. merchants that accept them; 2. the ability to exchange them against other cryptocurrencies accepted by merchants; 3. the ability to exchange them for fiat cash that can be spent anywhere. At the rate of approximately one article per week, this would be a couple months from now. Hopefully, there would already be at least a few merchants that accept Québecoins. There is already Bittrex where you can exchange your Québecoins against other coins. As how to exchange coins for cash, we still need to work on it. I've been discussing this with my friend. I think it wouldn't be too hard to set up an online geolocalized trading system to help people meet up in order to buy or sell the coins; this would be a nice moment to introduce such website. Any idea on how we could put this up welcome. Such an infrastructure and the presence of local traders are actually an essential condition to promote acceptance of Québecoins by merchants, which is the aim of the next article.

7. Comment accepter les Québecoins / How to accept Québecoins
The goal of this article is to answer quickly and comprehensively to questions Québec merchants may have on the technical requirements to start accepting Québecoins as well as the financial risk involved. Supported by the corpus of previous articles, I think this would be able to address any hesitation a merchant would have, given that he is actively looking for these answers.


We are still considering options as where we're going to first publish these articles. I think we need to consider where they will get most exposure to the appropriate audience. The idea is to make Quebecoin known to a larger audience while providing sufficient material for motivating the most curious of them. Each article might even benefit from being published on different media, depending on the subject. And of course, this should not limit the articles from being freely republished from website to website, in order to reach different niches. Being busy with other projects as well, we wouldn't deny any bounty or compensation offer, neither, although this is not our core motivation.

I would have like to already have published the first article in the series, but couldn't actually find the necessary time recently. On the other hand, taking advice from the community before we start is not a bad idea in itself. I will probably begin the redaction of the first article in the beginning of next week, and my friend will also have more time for putting up the second one next week, so any advice will be warmly welcomed. (Sorry for the rather large post.)

Wow, that's ambitious.

Have you given thought to making a podcast version?

Yes, great idea -- although it's even more ambitious! Once the articles are published someone could adapt them to do that. Maybe we can do it if we find the time. It just happens that I run a (rather humble) Internet radio, so it would be a good way to promote Quebecoin!

and good job dude.
QBC will success with the efforts like you make.

Thanks! That's definitely worth a try.

You know if you can get something like this out to the media in quebec it explains very well about cryptocurrencies...

Vous avez penser a peut etre contacter les media avec tel information?meme du genre le journal de montreal avoir une page dedie juste pour sa en expliquant quoi est le cryptocurrency!? cest genial ton article!

Yes, depending on the publishing deal we get, we could as well publish it as a press release to Quebec press. If Québécois guys have medias to suggest, now is the time.

Merci, mais attends que je l'aie écrit !

Regarding the article once we have The android wallet we could easily have merchants accept QBC using the wallet like a Point of Sale program.

Also JP after speaking with many people in crypto I think getting that premine locked up for the airdrops needs to be priority one. In addition I guess some people have issue with homie pouring one out to scrypt miners. I personally like it but the consensus found it not professional.

Just my input and what I've gathered.

Yes, hopefully the Android wallet gets release at the right time. It would definitely be an incentive for merchant adoption if they can use their phone or tablet as a payment terminal, just like Square, but for Quebecoins.

Premine locked? You mean, not giving away coins from the premine?

C'est de tout beauté... J'ai eux les larmes au yeux en lisant tout les bonnes nouvelles dans ce post.

Y'a tu un group style google group, un circle, un facebook group, Github , un BLOG, TWITTER ... - Ya tu quelque part ou les enthousiaste comme vous et moi discute des idées, priorités et etc? Tant pour le Quebecoin que pour la crypto en géneral?

I wont double post so I'll just leave this here. I stumbled on this video last night thought I'd share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R43OKYmGbhU

Ha! ha! N'en mets pas trop! Wait to see the results, but I hope our readers will feel the same emotional appeal!

To your question as to know if there is a place where enthusiasts discuss ideas and priorities, I'd answer THIS forum is precisely the place! But it is a fact that we need a place to discuss in French, if we want Quebecers to get involved. What do people here think? Should we refer French speaking enthusiasts to this bitcointalk thread, or create a new French thread?  But, I guess, any enthusiasts' initiative is welcome. Just post your created Google or Facebook group, blog or twitter right here, and you'll surely get some followers.

Pre-mined is definitely not something to worry about. But transparency being JP's trademark, I beleive the pre-mine address/amount should be displayed on the qbc.io webpage.

As for the local give-away, there a lot more work to be done because like I've said it before; there’s very little crypto-action in Quebec right now – very little people know about this new technology, let alone the power of it. We have a lot of teaching to do for the local give-away to mean anything anything.

• Bique Nique posted very promising stuff a couple pages ago. I’ve been trying to contact him here and on his website – but I’m not receiving any replies.
• As we speak, the folks over at BitcoinEmbassy.ca (in  Montreal) are working on some Bitcoin French documentation.
• This will be very helpful. JP said he’s got stuff going on…
• Some are pushing for Mintpal voting (not sure if JP gave his opinion on this or not).

My biggest concern is that we may be wasting time by not concentrating the effort. A Bitcointalk thread isn’t the greatest place to be organized…

Hey, @Lemayilleur, I'm here, reading scrupulously every post since my last post before I start putting down the first article! I just read your message, sounds very interesting. I'll reply soon after I'm done with this post, so we can coordinate our efforts. Merci de ton intérêt !

Premine locked? You mean, not giving away coins from the premine?

I’m not sure how familiar you are with crypto-currencies. To put it shortly, the pre-mine is the most important attribute of Québecoin (in my opinion). It is what will make Québecoin an extreme success, or another “scam” coin. Close to 50% of the coin have already been mined, and are “out there”. That 20 million some coins. After 2 years, Bitcoin’s value went from a couple cents, to 30$. Let’s just assume Québecoin gets only a fraction of that success, the pre-mine could be used to “cash-in” some interesting amount of money, all while throwing QBC’s value right into the dumpster and kiss it goodbye – obviously.

Early on the thread (before launch), JPGagnon and some other folks on this forum discussed the possibility to use a bank vault to secure the pre-mined coins. Locking it down in a way that it could not be used for anything else, except for the air-drop, and at the right time. Québecoin is not the first “nation”-coin, but it is (as far as we know) the first coin to bring up the idea of locking the pre-mined coins. I have this very strong feeling that, if Québecoin was to successfully locked down the pre-mine, the news talking about it would bring a LOT, and I mean a LOT of attention the coin from the crypto-enthusiast. Coins with pre-mine and IPO are mostly “taged” as scam right now. Reason being the whole hype generated by the “pre-mined coin will be distributed to everyone at X location, or with Y condition” was used to pump the price very high, before the whales/bag holder dumped them.

We have yet to see a nation-coin truly succeed. Locking the pre-mine would add some kind of guarantees (if it was undeniably locked-down) that investor will not get burned by a developer going lunatic.

. I’ve already suggested that we get a FRA/ENG forum, and an IRC chat dedicated to Québecoin, and I think it’s coming; JP added “forum – coming soon” to the QBC.io webpage. There’s already the French version of this launch thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=552630.0:, but most of the attention was concentrated on the English one so far.

I forgot about that! We really need to begin documenting our ideas and opportunity somewhere we can discuss them without too much brackground noise.

What kind of number (readers) are we talking about here? And is it a 1 time deal?

Here hopeing JP comes out of sleep see if he's got directions for us.

[Casseus1998]

Hi,

I just joined the forum, been mining QBC for a couple days now even if I don't know much about cryptocurrency.

I'm an IT Systems Integrator in the Gatineau, QC area.

I have access to a fast hosting server in IWeb data center in Montreal where I could setup a quick bilingual Wordpress and PHPbb for free (of course QBC donations would be nice)

Just let me know and I can setup everything within an hour or so.

[sonysasankan]

So.... how about that elephant in the room then people? Is it safe to say that the dev's dissapeared with the IPO money? So much for the Quebec my motherland and my maple syrup better than yours 

[JPGagnon]

So.... how about that elephant in the room then people? Is it safe to say that the dev's dissapeared with the IPO money? So much for the Quebec my motherland and my maple syrup better than yours 

That's not accurate at all to say, I'm not disappearing. The reality is that the entire crypto market seems fatigued of almost every altcoin, coinmarket cap is a deserted wasteland when it comes to volume except for some top 20 coins. In terms of features, QBC is still great but there is 1 coin release a day (or more) and the market has a very short attention span. I can't possibly get merchants to accept QBC before gaining a semblance of volume on the crypto markets, otherwise they are getting a coin which they can't exchange for money, which they do need to run their business. I'm still looking into the multipool with another developer and that's the first thing that will get us some steady volume. The competition is fierce and this overload of currencies is now thinning out the herd in cryptos, a few newcomers gain attention for short amounts of time, the established leaders are gaining ground and coins which are really thinking about long term may stand a chance as well. Let me go through all the posts here and make sure I haven't missed any important discussion.

I think I can successfully lock down the premine within two weeks, I'll be giving my suggestions soon and we'll be able to determine the best course of action. As I've stated before I have absolutely no intention of touching the premine and I love the idea of locking it down.

That's funny to hear you speak like a grizzled and burnt out vet, yet your coin has only existed since April 19, 2014.

You can't throw in the towel after 11 days because your coin price is low.  

[JPGagnon]

JP, can you share the addres containing the 21,000,000 pre-mined coins? Could make people feel a little bit safer knowing they are still "there", myself included  .

Yes exactly. 21 000 000 - 210 000 (IPO) - 21 000 (Bounties) = 20 769 000 QBC (This amount is for Québec and will be locked down safely)

The competition is fierce and this overload of currencies is now thinning out the herd in cryptos, a few newcomers gain attention for short amounts of time, the established leaders are gaining ground and coins which are really thinking about long term may stand a chance as well. Let me go through all the posts here and make sure I haven't missed any important discussion.

That's funny to hear you speak like a grizzled and burnt out vet, yet your coin has only existed since April 19, 2014.

You can't throw in the towel after 11 days because your coin price is low.  

Haha sorry that's not what I meant at all, didn't want to come of depressed or anything! I just mean there really is a general fatigue, it's harder now to generate volume than it was a even as recently as two months ago. I trust that the QBC multipool will generate enough volume to get us back to a very reasonable price. It takes less than 1 BTC to bring it over IPO levels right now and I'll be renting rigs for the multipool too to help kickstart it. Some people were sending me PMs about buying up coins and putting up buy walls, that's not the way to go for long term growth though.

So.... how about that elephant in the room then people? Is it safe to say that the dev's dissapeared with the IPO money? So much for the Quebec my motherland and my maple syrup better than yours 

That's not accurate at all to say, I'm not disappearing. The reality is that the entire crypto market seems fatigued of almost every altcoin, coinmarket cap is a deserted wasteland when it comes to volume except for some top 20 coins. In terms of features, QBC is still great but there is 1 coin release a day (or more) and the market has a very short attention span.

I know what you mean and it's accurate. Many coins are in similar positions. There are close to 600 altcoins now so it's no surprise.
