Re: [ANN][QBC] Quebecoin - X11 DGW - Forked! New Mac/Win/Linux Wallets!

I found out Yobit listed Quebecoin (QBC) as I scrolled through Twitter this weekend. Please understand that the currency has been maintained by my family over the past 18 months and we had kept it up in order to do a rebrand/update and use it within a cultural context.

Here are 10 facts about Quebecoin (QBC) in ENGLISH so that people understand the nature of this crypto-currency before investing.

1. Quebecoin was launched with an IPO on April 1st 2014. Within a few month we realised this was a scam. We (new interim developer and me) forked the coin, KILLED the 50% pre-mine (20M coins) and re-launched it on July 14th 2014. We invested in man hours the entire value of the Market Cap to do this (CAD 35K)

2. I have investigated the original developer who used a pseudonym and used the addresses of other people in official documents. He is guilty of financial fraud in this jurisdiction. The original developer has run away with the 20+ BTC of IPO. Be really careful about WHO you are dealing with when it comes to this coin. Double check all sources.

3. Quebecoin has, from the most part been kept alive via mining by 4 people. Listing on Yobit is wonderful because it lets MORE people own Quebecoin and diminishes the problems with people holding huge bags.

4. As a community, we have a few million coins which are promised for development projects and other things. This is meant to make up for destroying the 50% pre-mine that the original developer refused to co-sign.

5. There are only 10M QBC out there, not 33M !!

6. I have secured all the trademarks, domain names and social media account, and paid for a new logo for this coin. The only thing that is left is finishing the code update.

7. The new name for the currency is BILINGUAL with a French Canadian spin and I will strive to produce bilingual info for this coin even though it is a tedious pain in the ass.

8. I appreciate it being listed on Yobit because I cannot legally sell Quebecoin in my jurisdiction. Enjoy! While Quebecoin (QBC) is listed, it means it's rated on coinmarketcap.com which is nice too.

9. The current value of #QBC on Yobit (275 Satoshis) is at par with the last listed day on Bittrex in 2014. The wallet and Android app work great still. See the OP.

10. There are plenty of plans for this crypto-currency that are going to be very Quebec-centric (French Canadian Culture and History centric) and will happen regardless of this crypto's listed status or value.

BONUS FACT
I am Marie-Lynn Richard, founder of the French crypto blog Circonference.ca and @mlrichard on Twitter. I take care of this crypto with ZERO money, budget or time. The interim developer is close to me BUT he is SUPER busy with his day job and life. This crypto moves at the speed of non-anonymous people with day jobs who don't spend ANY time on crypto forums.

Have fun and be nice !

Where are you based? Are you incorporated? Are you regulated? Is it legal to run such a scheme in whichever jurisdiction you're located in? I am not doubting your authenticity, just want to make sure you know what you're getting into. This isn't the first time I've heard of such an initiative.

Yes, CryptoFund is new. It's not a monumentally original idea, I mean people have been managing other people's investment for centuries but we seem to be the first people out of the gate in packaging it this way for alternative cryptos. It is 100% the result of constant nagging by people like Lemeyilleur (all our services are defined/requested by members of the Facebook group. You should join because the daily chatter is also useful info for self-managed alt-coin enthusiasts.)

We are based in Canada (both main co-founders) which is a bit more Bitcoin-friendly right now. We have additional collaborators in the U.S. as well. OP/Wesdewayne is in Washington D.C. or editors are in Georgia and Florida. Our team is kind of growing so I suggest the About page for an up-to-date version of this.

We are benefiting from a grace period right now which will last until next spring (Or June 15 to be exact). Technically, nothing in life is legal, we can only work really hard to not be illegal and that is an ongoing effort which will ramp up during the winter (EDIT: We live in a two-level system where we work provincially and nationally to be ready for this when time comes). We are super lucky to have access to a crypto-currency lawyer who follows all of this daily. Even if the local government wanted to regulate us, they do not yet have the mandate or ability to do so (additionally we do not accept fiat currency). Three of our advisers, which we will introduce in a few weeks, recently testified before the Canadian Senate in order to help them better define crypto-currency laws to serve innovation. Again, we are actively seeking to be totally legit within our local jurisdiction, it is our would-be regulators who are not quite there yet.

Please understand that just like any other business dealing with U.S. bitcoin users, we are bracing ourselves for YOUR regulatory decisions because they will affect us so much more! We really hope that Canada and the U.S. can have compatible crypto regulations so we can do business together smoothly going forward in the future.

Cordially,
Marie-Lynn

"Marie-Lynn is the most experienced Web developer in the world"
Can you back this up please?

This is completely irrelevant to this thread. I have been publishing my proof-of-work in third party applications since the beginning of the Web and a surprising amount of it can still be found. Unfortunately most of my work before 1993 is lost in FidoNet ether except 'the first face book'. So I'll let you enjoy the game of figuring this out for yourself. (Maybe you'll hit some Easter Eggs along the way!)

An offer for developing the android wallet has come in.

Thanks for the heads-up. I already use his Worldcoin Wallet Smiley I have written to him with requirements and request a proposal. It would be nice to have the wallet before the Holidays.
I will post the project on Quebeco.in once it is available, se about fundraising and take care of the management.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in initiating the very first charitable donation involving Québecoin?

Moi je vote pour Mission Bon Accueil avec mon 1000 QBC

C'est quoi le convertisseur que tu à capturé?

Salut!
Est-ce que le porte-feuille Android est toujours dans les plans? J'ai hâte!

Allo Rhead,

Oui je suis entrain de coordonner avec mes collegues developpeurs pour nous trouver un developpeur de porte feuille Android. Malheureusement c'est infructueux jusqu'ici car il y a juste 1-2 boites qui offrent/annoncent ce service et pas de nouvelles depuis mes messages. Mais je vais vous garder au courant dans l'autre thread.

Il faudra ramasser les bitcoins/quebecoins necessaires pour cela quand on a une soumissions et un(e) candidat(e) acceptable pour la communaute.

Marie-Lynn, are you staking with your reddcoin wallet yet?

Yes!! I also contacted all my trading clients to get all thos RDD I've been buying in May-June to take them out and stake them.
Curious to see how much this is going to render but I don't run my computer 24/7 and my spouse and I both have RDDs to stake sooo... Need a machine just for staking now LOL

Hi CoinMarketCap,

Quebecoin has been forked by its own community as our developer abandoned just after launch.
New information is available.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=708702.0

Could you please update your site info?

Official site is http://quebeco.in

The 50% pre-mine has been invalidated so there are 20786641 invalid coins in your total which should affect the marketcap.

So 22497278 minus 20786641 = actual spendable coins in circulation

Thank you!

Re: Quebecoin Waking Up On Bittrex

First of all, a confession. "That person [who] ups it to keep it in priority" is me. I didn't identify myself at the time because I wanted to stay anonymous.

I am not very well versed in market lingo. I do not even know whether it's a good or bad thing that the price is going up. However, if supply of QBC has gone down twenty fold, then the price should be 20 times more than 450 (median price in July before fork). However, no alt price makes any sense at this point. I mean the very best alt coin, Reddcoin (RDD), is only 30 satoshis in a dizzying world of copy-pasted coins that have no real value.

I costs only USD 130 of bitcoins to buy QBC up to 1700 at this point so somebody with a modest budget wants QBC, well there aren't that many to be had quite frankly.

I am just looking forward to when your IPO purchase price is restored (7000 satoshis).

I'm holding and not buying for now so all I can do is eat popcorn while watching the show.

Maybe we can make a game out of it (with a Counterparty (XCP) oracle system type of thing like on XCPfeeds.info).

Just to let everyone know, there's now a big bid for QBC on Bittrex @ 700 satoshis exactly. Looks like the bidder either wants a lot of QBC or wants to wake the volume up. If the entire order goes through, it'll mean close to 0.5 BTC volume.

That person ups it to keep it in priority.

I noticed that there was a lot of dumping last week and a lot of low ball order setting. As I have been doing for the past month, I buy all under 500 and I have sold a considerable amount of high-value coins to do that.

The last big order I bought was 10K QBC at 200sat. And I felt kind of bad for the person who gave that up given the upcoming fork but I am going to give away these QBC at some point as bounty or in the faucet.

There should be very little QBCs available at a low price after that 65K order is filled.

Thank you for your kind words.

Today there was 0.2 BTC of volume on Bittrex. This is more than twice the average traffic we get in a day. Your confidence in QBC is awesome! After a month of buying all the low ball QBC dumped everyday, I took a break today!

But I did post some examples of the paper wallet on our new official home Quebeco.in I tried to find non cheesy photos indicative of Quebec among my own pictures but... errr... nope. I have this template ready if you would like to submit designs for the background picture.

I agree...

I wrote to HashEngineering who developed the Darkcoin wallet. Most Android wallets in existence were developed by HashEngineering! Base price is 2 BTC but that's for a scrypt wallet. I requested the features listed above which will return a different quote.

I'll keep you posted.

Count on me for contributing. Id be willing to share quite a lot of QBC for this.

A few weeks ago I cashed in some RDD to systematically buy a pack of every coin that has a matching Android wallet. It is surprising that a lot of these coins are very little known... But does it matter? When I meet someone and want to show them how crypto works, the easiest way is to get them to install a wallet and send them free coins right then and there! (Okay... they have to parse the entire blockchain so it's not as instant as it sounds but still...) It's fun and impressive!

I cannot stress how important it is for us to have a way to share our QBCs in person. I think that independent coffee shops, as well as independent retailers of Quebec-made goods online and off, could be our very first retailers next year. I would also like to figure out a way to get some artisans to accept QBC at the Christmas artisan fair at Bonaventure in December 2014. We're going to need good write-ups, tutorials and documentation. Right now, the alt coin with the most bad-ass web setup is Potcoin POT. This is a Quebec-based project as well!

For that we need an Android wallet! (iOS should be done as well but I prefer to see others navigate the new guidelines before that)

- It cannot be a web wallet (those things blow!)
- It has to be in French (I can help translate!)
- It should be able to sweep private keys (not all wallets do this right now, the Dogecoin wallet does)

I will gladly contribute QBCs for this as well.

Is this feasible?
