Will someone please explain how these coins are different from Bitcoin, and why they are called "BBQ" coins?
Thanks!

Well, BQC is using scrypt which is FPGA and ASIC resistant atleast for the foreseeable future. So incase some company really delivers massive amounts of ASIC miners to people, and Bitcoin's difficulty skyrockets you can still mine these new, less popular chains with your old GPU's and even with CPU. There is this for more info: http://bbqcoin.org/

All that I can say is that is 99% a LTC clone, and actually there is no reason to they be called BQC/BBQCoin, probably because Cubox loves BBQ with some bacon.

I still don't understand, even after looking at through the website. Why is it called BBQ? Is it because there is so much heat generated by the inefficient use of CPU resources that you can cook meat on it?

Nothing less. No real reason behind it.

Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th. The Attorney: I would advise you do that. Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor? The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law. 19GpqFsNGP8jS941YYZZjmCSrHwvX3QjiC

As mentioned in the other thread, it is called BBQ coin because it utilizes an innovative hybrid proof of steak and proof of wok system.

The old ones I already have, my intention to download the new one it's because it said that have instructions on how to configure the solo mining xP
Note: This MEGA isn't working as well, it says "Temporary Unavailable" Another guy in my house was with a p2p client downloading and using all the bandwidth

Mega seems fine to me just now, maybe you have a bad/old browser, try Chrome or Opera. Mining tutorial: http://forum.bbqcoin.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5
