Topic: BBQcoin mining (Read 3038 times)
The BBQ pool is doing well! 118 blocks found so far, about 4 MHs hashrate.
Do people really see BBQcoin as a viable Bitcoin alternative or is it just for fun?
Yeah i dont get it, but it could create an interesting marketplace of competing currencies. Since all of the cryptocoins behave in relatively the same fashion when it comes to how transactions are conducted, the infrastructure wont need to change too much to accommodate the new coins. I feel that a new coin that is like an old coin is going to have an uphill battle with already established coins unless it brings something new to the table like stronger cryptography ?, built in laundering (NICE), or some other awesome feature like that. I could be wrong.
Actually there are a lot of people who thought it would get on an exchange very soon.. then Feathercoin happened. All the scrypt miners are jumping ship..even on litecoin ....so its a frenzy.
After difficulty goes through the roof, there may be a rekindled interest and it could find a niche, who knows! Its always a good idea to get them when they are easy to get... Just in case.
I don't know of many BBQ pools so i thought it'd be a good target for my first pool. It makes it easy to test everything with the scripts when you get regular blocks even solo!
AND.. i guarantee you that alternative small exchanges will have it along with feathercoin.

Payouts begin after found blocks get confirmed .. so after an hour or 2 you will be receiving regular payments! (depending on your payout threshold you set)
I set up a BBQcoin Pool today if you are interested in pool mining BBQcoin right now.

Well bbqcoin was going good until tht 51% attack which just f**ked alot of people over and cause alot of people just to dtop mining, however that just makes it better for guys like us who solo mine 
ah cool thanks for this ill have to try it to see if it works better, its difficult trying to get help with bbqcoin since not many people use it
Yeah, not a lot of people are mining BBQcoin, the difficulty was 0.007 when I started, and it's 0.15 or so now, but I haven't seen it change a lot in a few weeks. It's good for solo mining! Unlike Feathercoin, which was fun to mine for about an hour 
If you're looking for help with mining BBQCoins, it's pretty much identical to Litecoin (you can use the same mining programs, settings, etc.), so if you can't find a resource specifically for BBQcoin, the Litecoin resources are a good place to look.
well it fluctuates between 2500-2800 according to the client. but i still havent got a block for 5 hours which troubles me a bit. also the client says i hace about 30 some connects to the network so im not sure why im not getting any blocks.
edit: whst program are you using to solo mine?
I'm using pooler's cpuminer (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/an-even-more-optimized-version-of-cpuminer-poolers-cpuminer-cpu-only-55038). I sometimes use cgminer on my GPUs.edit: whst program are you using to solo mine?
You'll have to configure the wallet by making a bbqcoin.conf in AppData/Roaming/BBQCoin and run the wallet with the -server parameter. Some of the Litecoin solo mining guides might help: (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tutorial-solo-mining-litecoins-guide-windows-83371)
Here's a sample bbqcoin.conf:
Code:
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=59332
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
maxconnections=25
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=59332
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
maxconnections=25
Then, you'll need to run bbqcoin-qt with the "-server" parameter. Just create a shortcut to bbqcoin-qt.exe, right click and hit "Properties" and add " -server" to the end of the Target for the shortcut.
Then, I just run minerd like this:
Code:
minerd.exe -t 6 -o http://localhost:59332 -u username -p password

The difficulty of BBQcoin is currently 0.12 according to the client. I've been solo mining BBQcoin with a CPU for a couple weeks now at about 48 kh/s. I usually mine a block every 3-4 hours, but some hours I've gotten lucky and solved 2-3 blocks; other times I've gone over 10 hours without solving one. According to the Litecoin calculators online, at a difficulty of 0.15, I have a 23.53% probability of finding a block in 1 hour with 48 kh/s, which is pretty consistent with what I've seen.2650 kh/s seems unusually high for the wallet's built-in miner...
