Is there a block explorer for BBQ?

The problem with the pool that went online at bbqcoin.org was that the pushpull was not configured properly, I am not going to point fingers but someone started working on it, got the bare bones working and then stopped, leaving it unfinished.

I will update the client download page with source code links aswell, just so everyone can be working with the same clients etc.

I will say however that my trust for the clients original source which was updated recently by Cubox has reduced due to that fact that "jokes" have been made on the IRC about attacking BBQcoin under a project called BBQFoil and that Luke-Jr has returned onto the scene.

I am not blaming anyone for anything but I just think that it is fair for everyone to know what could be going on behind the scenes, as trust is a massive thing for me, even more so when hard earned money is concerned.

The forum on bbqcoin.org is moderated by Figroll, who if you don't know, designed the BBQcoin logo to replace the Litecoin one. Gossip and rumours have no place there, as it was and is my intention to have it as a place of information and guidance only.

The trade section was created to get a general consensus of how people feel about the coin and if it does or will have any worth.

If anyone has coding and pool experience and would like to earn a bounty for finishing off the pool that was started at bbqcoin.org, I have all the files, they just need configuring properly including slight cosmetic changes to the front end.

The bounty for making a fully working pool and having that pool connected to pool.bbqcoin.org through either a DNS redirection or on the server directly will get a bounty of 25,000 BQC.

there's a working pool for FC , check page 18 of the thread

I will go all in on Feathercoin or BQC once a working pool surfaces.. Where it at???

Unfortunately it doesn't... I get this error when I try:
run_p2pool.exe --net litecoin -a bEQCmJ7zrunKoQux6XsyUgbwJRojEpGYZ5 --bitcoind-rpc-port 1234 user pass

run_p2pool.exe: error: error parsing address: ValueError('address not for this net!',)

Hmmm... It should work just by pointing it in your client, using "litecoin"

we should get p2pool running for bqc, unfortunately I am not a programmer, but it should be possible, seems its already done for Feathercoin ?

I just compiled bbqcoind from source and all of my connections are coming from 19323.

Can you please link to the current branch of the source?

edit: My RPC port is functioning on 59332 but the peers are connecting on 19323. I compiled from the source on the first post of this thread (which has updates as of 4 days ago)

We should really consider cleaning up and consolidating all of the downloads to one page on bbqcoin.org. Source, clients, everything. This is what is going to keep BQC going more than anything.

edit2: best I can tell, 19323 is the port for testnet. Cannot find where in the source it is telling it to use that. The only line it doesnt appear as a comment is line 22 of protocol.h:

return testnet ? 58333 : 19323;

I dont do C++ very often but i think that is a conditiona, where if bool testnet = true, 58333 is returned, otherwise 19323. So this is indicating the default port for standard use is coded into the bbqcoin client as 19323. Which is why when you run 'bbqcoind getpeerinfo' all of your peers are connected on port 19323.

However, the port for RPC is different, which is why I was wondering if there is some confusion. This appears to have been discussed in this thread somewhere (post #62)

I have 49 active connections to my client right now.  I don't have the technical ability to put up a pool or I would be happy to do so.  I definitely think we do need a pool though.  What was the problem with the bbqcoin.org pool?

The port is 59332 and it has been from the start.

The pool that was on bbqcoin.org is going to be down indefinitely.

If people don't keep using the same compiled clients and same ports, that this coin is going to die.

Thanks 19323 is the one!

wrong, in the help it says this but this is wrong since the creator didnt change it.

I don't think it is.
Scanning the port with a running BBQCoin reveals nothing after i opening it in my router and computer.

default port is 59332

Who know the default port for BBQCoin?
I'm gonna do a bit of soloing but i'd like more than 8 connections.

dead

that would be nice, so that its not even kind of centralized right from the start!

If its possible, could you provide to source to the bbqcoin pool when it is running? I can try and operate one so we don't have too much isolation of mining resources to one location

A stable one
Uh, plus a GOOD router to handle the traffic. Most routers do the job if there are 20-30 ppl mining, but you gonna have trouble for 30+ ppl

Man, it's gotten crazy hard to mine this coin lately.  Not sure if you need to mine in pools yet since even slower miners should be getting at least a block a day.
