If it was called Zimbabwe Coin, it would imply the 50% annual interest goes to a central authority. The people holding the coins get the interest so I don't see a problem. Even if the interest rate causes the price of a coin to fall, what's the difference if you get more coins so you end up with the same value?

You wouldn't be able to use Bitcoin's source code as a starting point without major work and you won't be able to easily implement improvements made to Bitcoin. Performance may be an issue, C# uses garbage collection, which introduces unnecessary overhead. There are ways to use C++ classes in a C# program, this might be an option but I don't have experience mixing C# and C++ to know if it's a good idea.

False. Finding a block is like flipping a coin, getting a heads is no more likely whether the last ten flips were all heads or all tails. Also as difficulty rises, you become less and less likely to find a block, regardless of if you have found many blocks or no blocks at all.

Registered mail adds an additional $12.95 to the postage price. It will also cost more if he adds a return receipt or sends it as Priority Mail instead of First-Class.

He only wants to ship registered mail so people can't complain they never got it, even if they did. That costs more than $11.

I believe Casascius shipped coins unfunded but would fund them regardless of if they were lost so you could trust that every unopened coin held its declared BTC value.

Instead of going crazy with security, why not get your equipment covered by your homeowners insurance? A camera won't do you any good if your house catches fire or floods.

I placed an order. Waiting on the bitcoin address.

Is ordering still open for batch 1?

Feathercoin was so last week. This week it's YaCoin.

I'll match it if you want some from both of us. Otherwise you can go with him.

I'll sell you 5000 BQC for 8 BTC. You can trust me as I've been making trades with BQC many times the past few days. We can also do in smaller increments if you would prefer.

Meh, you can use YACv2 if it ever surfaces, I'll stick with YAC. YAC also supports GPU miners, I think most of us want to mine with our GPU. It's been way less gamed than the BTB launch.

Except there was no premine. Almost all blocks were generated AFTER the link to the github source was posted on this thread.

It's a fair playing field, go ahead and mine. Are you accusing us of being insiders? I hadn't heard of this coin until the announcement and didn't start mining until hours after others had.

Get in now or you will miss out!

This is as real as it gets. Nothing else was released and there will likely not be anything else.

Thanks for the heads up in the IRC room! Mining now.

Sold 2000 BQC for 1 BTC over PM to someone not on the list of bids.
