Sorted. I am just configuring the main site now and adding information and then will work on the forum.

I do need to have more contact with the Dev's though, just so I could find out the direction they are taking etc.

This is what I have been saying all the time on the exchange chatbox. We need a currency that has no external value other than itself and that is what BBQcoin is.

I am going to add a developers forum to the website I am developing so decisions like this can carry own and we can do one big brain storm.

Would people be interested in that? It will reduce any trolling that could happen along the way.

No I like fun coins.. We are going to start using them for our LAN games to keep track of spending on special items and overall gold earnings in warcraft 3 games. I love it! But yes I really wouldnt like resets constantly as that would mess up our stats.

Cool, i like having a funcoin Smiley

Well I hope you really mean that, rather than meaning a testnet coin.

The main reason game players did not find testnet coins suitable for their fun was restarts. Its not fun to lose all your hard-earned fun!

(Someone was on IRC was suggesting all the months that CPU miners have had to mine in peace without GPU bullies grabbing all the coins should lose all their hard CPUd coins by just restarting the chain so the GPU folk could grab them all right from the get-go.)

Well actually, to really make a decent market you need populations that for whatever reason do not hunt, gather, or farm their own food.

So far the Brits and Canucks have been getting magic berries from the Faery Fellowship, which act as healing berries as well as nutritious food, so both of them and the Faery actually have piles of steaks lying around that they never eat.

Being basically rich they prefer the berries over using up their number of items of carrying capacity carrying healing items and food items as separate items.

Meanwhile the Drow and Duergar live in caves, where foraging only finds one type of food, mushrooms, which they find convenient because their automatic "eat when hungry" triggers in their clients thus know what type of item to eat, (CoffeeMUD has no generic word, it seems, for "anything that is edible" so triggers need to know exactly what it is that the character should try to eat.)

Thus so far there is not yet a population really that one could become a steady supplier of steak to.

The search always continues though for other free open source games with which to open trade routes. Smiley

In CoffeeMUD, it turns out that cooked food does not spoil, so characters who hunt, even just kill critters for the experience, basically BBQ the meat to turn it into a lasting resource. This not only stops them from getting sick eating rotten meat themselves, or having to waste meat by just throwing it away when it smells bad and hunting fresh meat again.

So maybe this coin would be just the right coin for such players to favour. Smiley

Maybe even set a standard price list, so many for snake steak, s many for dragon steak and so on, depending on how regular a market they can make for their steaks...

YAY
Mined a block with my CPU  Grin
Tips welcome bDGpsC11uibQXCnQBht4GciLxi7Loaaucy

Well done on your first block. I will send you a tip now, how does 500 BBQcoin sound?

This coin is a lot of fun and can be much more than it already is.

I dunno then.

Maybe diff the source code against the source code you used before?

virtual interface, so it has all the port availabe (besides ssh)
iptables in the kernel as usual, altough a FW cant restrict me from listening on a interface, so dosnt matter.

EDIT: still, all this dosnt matter since bbqcoind NEVER does the bind() call for the RPC port.

Do VMs automagically get access to all port numbers?

Or is it trying to warn you that the VM doesn't "really" have such a port at all?

Also do VMs start with firewall activated?

fresh VM, of course there is no instance running and the port isnt already maped to something.
according to strace, bbqcoind never trys to setup a port to listen on. funny

Weird, is that the same error it gives if something is already using the port?

Because some coins take a while to die when you tell them to stop, and some just don't die from being told to stop (or take so frakkin long one thinks they aren't going to anyway) so have to be killed with kill command.

Does ps or top show the previous copy still running?

now i got the next problem:
Code:
Error: An error occured while setting up the RPC port 19322 for listening: Cannot assign requested address
altough, there is nothing blocking this port.
i had this once with litecoind too, dunno how i fixed it...

EDIT 1: wait, i think its because i did build without UPNP, thats how i fixed it @ litecoind
EDIT 2: err, still dosnt work...
