BBQCoin, the coin you want to eat.

[nethead]

uh! its you guys that joined and i dont get more blocks lol

Yup it seems to work, share your addresses to send 1-2 coins to each other to test it that it officially works!

Mine is bQYN9zxNgyGs4FpMyWbpMxgpb97k7mnxVK

I will send after i wake up to everyone that posted address, and i will be more than happy to see transactions in my transaction list (not for the coins, but for the life of the "killed" coin)

Beleave me, its gonna be killed again if you start the chain up again ..
BBQcoin is a dead coin, leave it that way..

I still havent get a reason on this, and all you do is to harm LTC by by your actions (by MY point of view)

The plug and play controls for routers do not work with my router so it is unable to set up an incoming port for me, it would probably be helpful if everyone who can makes sure to set up the incoming port so people who cannot do incoming can still find connections.

As it is mine can reach out and find someone if that someone has their incoming port open, but mine can only do outgoing connections.

I have compiled in another checkpoint, now I just need to package it up again to put on my sourceforge download site.

Wow is this dead-coin-come-back-to-life month? Zombie coin month or what?

[markm]

It never died, as far I can know it just kept plugging away all along. Ignored coins are nice for people with low hashing power as they can occasionally get a block, thus enjoy some of the fun of mining. Even with just a CPU!

(I0Coin and GRouPcoin are getting that easy lately too, so if people do jump on BBQcoin making it too difficult there are still those, and those you can merged-mine so you don't even have to "divert" power to mine them.)

Ok i'm interested in this revival but I got still only 1 connection and i got cgminer configured to solo mine to see if that would work... and i am hashing away at 92kHash average.. found 3 blocks.. but all rejected ... is this a bad sign??

also is it a router thing i need to do ... or a setting in the bbqcoin.conf I need to set for "setting up the incoming port"?

Anyone got a compiled version for linux 32-bit? It won't compile for me (on Centos 6.3/32). The windows version I've got is never able to connect to the network.

[FuzzyBear]

ok must be my slow internet connection... or someone watching this and controlling the network and tracking ip's maybe just paranoia!! but i just got 3 block accepted on network so seem ok

i had same issue with windows... turned out most likely a firewall issue as when i tried on a different pc it popped up to set bbqcoin as exception

also a lack of original source code does seem to possibly be an issue here to as i'd be up for looking at this on a linux box to and compiling from source

Make sure your router routes the port to the machine on your local network that runs the daemon.

What the port number is I do not know, help makes a claim that it is 59333, however grep finds no occurrence of that number anywhere in the code that looks like it is the actual setting of the port, so I suspect someone probably changed the actual port in the code but failed to change the number the help text outputs to match it. Once upon a time I made a list of the ports all the coins use but that might have been before bbqcoin came along, not sure, I cannot find the list now at home though I did also post it as a thread here once upon a time.

Source code is in BBQcoin's subdirectory of my sourceforge download site https://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/

Depending on which version of the plug and play router-control library you have installed (or whether you have even installed it at all) different altcoins can give problems compiling in the plug and play, as at some point the number of arguments one or more functions in the plug and play lbirary changed its expected number of args, so different altcoins, depending on the age of the bitcoin version they forked from, need different versions of the plug and play lib.

I do not bother to try to have two versions of the lib, if I find a given coin will not compile due to wrong version of that lib I simply compile without that lib. (Instead of setting USE_UPNP to zero or one you set it empty to not include that lib in the build.)

Compiling without the lib is fine for me because neither version of the lib has ever worked with my articular router, but obviously the more people who don't use the lib the more people will have to screw around with their router manually to get an incomping port thus, likely, the less incoming port equipped servers altcoins in general are likely to end up with.

Old windows version started working for me after deleting litecoin.conf

Once the blockchain is up to date I've got lots of free BQC for anyone who wants them. Post your address, or send me some:

Oh gosh we are gonna start using multiple different three letter codes per altcoin now?

I thought BBQ was the usual code for BBQcoin?

I guess I must have gotten lazy about writing altcoin names with their three letter code incorporated in the name by capitalisation to constantly keep people aware of them, like BiTCoin, DeVCoin, GRouPcoin, BBQcoin etc etc etc...

Ok i not sure how to change my router setup but can i do this on a windows vps in a cloud?

sending u some bbq coins wormbog and nethead, whats ur addy markM?

Actually some machines have firewalls on the machine itself too, so as well as checking router there can also be a need to to check the machine's own firewall o allow connections to the port.

Trying to find out the port number is getting annoying, in most coins I just grep for "fTestNet" and find a C oneliner conditional statement of the x ? a : b form that checks fTestNet and sets one port number or another. For some reason I am not finding that or equivalent in BBQcode so far.

I did getnewaddress to get a BBQcoin address for myself: bSPSqjm3PyjXoaGhBthbTTSjxMySUXMLrx

Would someone be able to post a link for the Windows version of BBQcoin please?

Thanks
