Topic: [ANN] New IXcoin thread - Real Bitcoin. 1st btc clone *HAL*? Best bitcoin!! (Read 913 times)

Come check out Twetch.com

It is twitter running on the blockchain.  All post are store on chain.

twet.ch/inv/62d7ae96

Besides this being my thread, the riddle thread is about Ixcoin and this anything there, especially regarding an individual of poor character who I worked with should be shared it.  It is my fiduciary duty as dev and owner of both threads. 

Bitcoin btc is a burned out dog turd.  It’s being used to draw everyone from the real legit coins - creating a vacuum so people dump the coins of the future.  While Wall Street makes billions monthly off options to accumulate the real coins and soon to pump every coin so you won’t know which coins they’re actually interested in.  Your big chance to get rich if you sell on time cause it will all crash into a heap of ashes, out of which will rise the PhoenIX.  BTC at best will be a popcorn niche coin. 

What the heck for the people who are always says in someones's project that the project is the real Bitcoin, it's brings me pain in my ass, how could they say this? There is no other and Real BTC rather than Bitcoin, and there is no copy cat can claim that claim. Bitcoin is bitcoin.

Anything for the good Dr. -  an entire block reward is 1 ixc.  You can have an entire blockity bliz block.   

any airdrop, you big Boss, for me..?

Bahahahahahahaaaaaaa.   

If I had Twitter I’d send him the white paper with ze answer. 

Twitter makes as angry as the news, Reddit, liberals, the indoctrination of small children that gay is normal when the average life expectancy of the homo is 30 years less than the average, and there is now an anal cancer epidemic but I don’t know why since college and the news taught me is was normal, etc. 

When evolution - When 1st gay but baby?  When find ze gay DNA, it’s been decades?  Science, I am poor in faith as of late so I need science. 

Kkk, I’ll open a new Twitter account and blast Elon, who i really like, very often.  Until I’m blocked.  It’s what I do. 

How sustainable with regards the environment is this coin? Will there ever be a carbon fee on each transaction or % paid to sustainable development project funds?

You crack me up.  My fat ego says Thanks.   
 

I'm putting this in my foyer someday. As a tribute lol

Sorry, what I see is wall street using an illiquid underlying asset to make billions every 3rd Friday and guys like Elon musk pumping coins coincidentally about 2 weeks before that deadline.  

Ergo, btc hitting minimum in just 2 weeks.  Called it 4 months straight.  

Pure coincidence.

I wonder who they’re gonna use next month, Elon was the best choice but 3 times looks fishy.  

Unlesssssss, he comes out and doubles down another $1.5 billion.  That would fly.   He can’t lose with the futures options.  He’s should have made minimum double back already.  Plus Wall Street owes him some serious favors now.  😆

Uhhm, he pumped again on SNL last night so expect a second wind starting tomorrow.  

Pure coincidences. 

IXC can be traded on the Stellar platform against Stellar Lumens (XLM) or DeVCoins (DVC) or really actually against any other asset that is on the Stellar platform.

For IXC on the Stellar platform see http://makemoney.knotwork.com/stellar/ixc/ ( Explorer: https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/IXC-GBHAQ252S4Z4AQOM4BWIRC3UHAOJIKCZQBUJGD336YH2O7W2NKRXMHA5 )

For DVC on the Stellar platform see http://makemoney.knotwork.com/stellar/dvc/ (Explorer: https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/DVC-GBHAQ252S4Z4AQOM4BWIRC3UHAOJIKCZQBUJGD336YH2O7W2NKRXMHA5 )

Someone asked why IXC has been climbing in value lately...

Part of it initially was probably the simple fact that in the Galactic Milieu IXC is, like many other currencies in the Milieu, a treasury-based currency.

That means the Ixians have a "treasury" of other currencies and assets so that the Milieu can add up the total value of that "treasury" and divide the total by the number of IXCoins that have been minted, to calculate a "value per IXCoin".

A look at the Latest Rates include-file http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/latestrates.inc (which by default is denominated in DeVCoins but is formatted for use in scripts to make it simple to re-compute all the values in terms of any of the assets shown or, in fact, in terms of any arbitrary value) is right now showing me IXCrate=557.34637854 meaning that based on the value of IXC's treasury and the number of IXCoins minted, and the value of DVC's treasury and the number of DVC minted, one IXCoin is worth 557.34637854 DeVCoins.

Obviously until someone implements a treasury for, for example, BiTCoin or LiTeCoin or Stellar Lumens or American Dollars or whatever other thing you'd like to compare to, we cannot compute values for those not-treasury-based items, so the figures shown for them are necessarily just current prices on exchanges, probably according to some site along the lines of CoinMarketCap, at the time the include-file was generated.

I see in that same interation of the Latest Rates include-file BTCrate=116691274.10194629 meaning that at the time the file was calculated one BiTCoin was supposedly worth 116691274.10194629 DeVCoins although of course that would tend to change moment to moment at the whims of spot markets such as "exchanges" since it is not based on a "treasury".

It is probably useful to bear in mind that "treasuries" are accompanied by one or more "slush funds" also, if only because we do not count a coin into its own treasury's value. Even if the IXCoin treasury contained any IXCoins, their value for the purpose of computing the total value of the treasury would be counted as zero. Thus the "slush fund", a separate account in which the Ixians can store any IXCoins they happen to own, along with any other "operating capital", "petty cash", assets that are deprecated for "treasury" use such as anything the treasury total value calculation does not take into account (things that are not considered to be "reserve currencies" or "reserve assets" for example) and so on and so on.

Just like my policy of only issuing tokens representing half of the coins I actually have, we are also working toward only having half of a nation, Corp etc's wealth go in its treasury; the goal is to build up the "slush funds" to total at least as much value as the "treasury", so that a nation, Corp or whatever that issues a treasury-based currency can buy back every coin it ever minted using just its slush funds, not touching its treasury to do so. That way when/if they ever do manage to buy back all the coins minted those coins will still have the same treasury-based value they had before they bought them all back.

5 star Lead Dev, Chairnan, CEO, Chief Creative Marketer.

Faucets failed.  I paid a high profile marketer, Jeffery Peterson, 370,000 of my own ixc. That was a very large sacrifice of my holdings but felt it was my job.  He bailed on us but I hope if ixc price goes up he’ll return go do the job he promised.  And that’s the best marketing crypto has ever seen.  I’ve talked to ray dilliger too but can’t get him until BTC completes its Self destruction.  That’s a big if so until then we do the best we can with what we got.

BELIEVE!!!  I can see it as clear as day -  which is a are thing. 

In fact, a faucet only serves to spread the word, or at least it should be. IXC has valued it recently without any marketing or help and this is incredible. Are you the IXC dev? Will there be a new wallet? IXC will patiently receive the support and adoption it deserves. This coin cannot be underestimated.

One word:  Longshank

Ten years shilling ixcoin without fail means you are persistent I'll give you that but no coin is going anywhere without a large community,large funding,large well established exchange with liquidity,active development on github and large social media presence.

You are living in false hope because nobody in this so called industry cares about anything except the bottom line.

Moon soon.  I’m hiding Wonder Woman. She knows.

Tired of begging and their absurd fees.  It’s not the nature of open source.  

They’ll come begging and pay a fee to list us or end up in court.  


For now freiexchange dot com is good.  No, it’s el perfect for my lead dev plans.  

Can we get IXC on more exchanges?

Huge potential if we could.

This is the worst thread in existence.

How can I invest?

Absolutely.   That hired dev has been gone over 2 years after he said he’ll return in two weeks.  He’s welcome here - everyone is but this is the original thread and tryst me, when things take off an a tire team over won’t outdo this thread.  Money has anyways been second to being number 1. 

I’ll show you what promotions from real Devis without bosses can do, unlike hourly employees like Ver. 

I’ll crush that coin into oblivion and any coins without real purpose.

And I’m done playing games with Craig and BSV.  I know his real use-case and ixc is completely unique. 

 

It will stop at $1 and start dropping.  Shakeout. 

Volume was almost twice that today

yes, I noticed it does match doge too- perhaps musk is buying

Are you intending to make this the main IXC thread?  The link on the IXC page on Coinmarketcap still points to the original thread https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ixcoin/ .

IXC keeps jumping to match Doge's price, I guess there are some people who think that it's ridiculous that an IXC should be worth less than a Doge.

Right now I’m spreading the word to the Romanian community in my Facebook and other platforms.  If one of coins blows up yeah, it’s gonna be a one man show.  I market buy with rage snd fury until my funds run out.  I’ll put ix at $5 trillion if I can.  Why? 

Because I can.  And that’s where it belongs, number 1. 

FreiExchange

volume $2,459

 

is it some one-man show coin?

No way to know circulating or Total supply.  Lots have been lost and stolen.  Either way compare doge with ixc, 130,000,000 supply vs probably 12-15 million.   Ixc can moon faster than any coin you’ve seen so far.  We just need demand, awareness, marketing...

We have had generous faucets and it didn’t help any. 

There are many wallets that have not been moved for years. If there were any faucets to help promote IXC it would be interesting.

Apparently the total supply is already mined and spinning ... who owns all those tokens? hard to get into that if so

Dig quickly my friend, time is quickly running out. 

Because the fine for IX has come. 

You new here?

Hmmm interesting project ..  I will be digging IXcoin .. 

Why the run up in price? I have been holding for  years and have not seen this for some time. Its true the small supply and merged reliable network does have value.

It's the pure truth mentioned in the initial Description. I have been writing for Ixc for over 2 years and have known her since the beginning, in a way, it's well deserved to exceed $1000. I'm not advertising but stating the facts.

IXC has a decade of history, remember that...

Correct.  I bought 600,0000 ixc in 2013 with ~$8500.  Nobody cares about that level of money.  Sadly I kept them all on cryptsy so I lost it all.  Nobody is gonna launder money where the daily volume is $30.  Lol

I’m not a commie or gestapo type but I was burn and live in the east block and if you how many millions and at the top probably billion they launderer you’d be.  Nobody gets. Cause it’s one big happy mob.  I’d need billet proof windows.  Lol

The issue probably wouldn't have any impact on old wallets with large balances even if they had a few hundred thousand IXC because the price was so low in the past such amounts were easily accumulated by people who saw its potential with only a few hundred or thousands of dollars but if IXC suddenly went to the moon and peope were able to buy hundreds of thousands of coins at big prices that would certainly mean there could be KYC needed in the exchange or whatever but it would have been ridiculous to suggets fraudsters or money launderers would have even bothered with IXC in the past because it wouldn't have been any use for their shennagins so this in effect makes old wallets/addresses with large bags beyond any risk of being frozen or whatever because they are without any suspicion of shennagins due to the low price they were accumulatred at and if held for a long time without moving the funds about regularly making large trades or whatever.

The KYC or AML would really be directed at big bags bought at big prices but this is not the reality right now but I thing old wallets even if people have no records would have no issues because of the smal amount of money they bought at but they would be liable for capital gains tax or whatever if they decided to cash out of course.

Well said sir.  Well said.  Lol

Good point.  That complicates things. 

Ok, look at source of income, are you politics - out here all steal millions and put them in btc. 

So you’re right, you’d have to dig through each history.  That’s gonna take a lot of time but gotta be fair cause I can’t prove all my purchases either from 7 years ago.  Thanks for the correction.  I just hate corruption abc they’re hiding in crypto now, mainly btc and eth. 

IXC

Crypto is property.If you simply "confiscate" or in other words steal someones property then you are guilty of theft,embezzelment,deception,misrepresentation, and fraud by wire so kindly elaborate under what circumstances you would attempt to "confiscate" a persons property.

Are you suggesting that some poor fool who was foolish enough to buy a large bag of this altcoin many years ago who cannot account for the money or which jam jar or piggy bank  he or she attained the funds to buy this altcoin will then have their property stolen by this altcoins developers?

Many people bought this altcoin years ago and probably cannot remember where they were yesterday let alone how they found the lunch money to buy this shitcoin so how will you be explaining that their property is to be stolen by the developers simply because they forgot where they got the funds from?You are directing this coin at the poor and destitute yet it is these very people who would be affected because it is these very people who do not keep records never mind afford accountants,tax advisors,compliance officers.

I smell hypocrisy and deception here so prove otherwise.

Heads up:  after bitcoin and alts moon and crash this year - next years the feds and regulators will be coming guns drawn.  Prison time for non-compliance.  If your coin cannot be mass used it’s worthless.  And banned coin will be illegal therefore worth zero.  Don’t fall for these lies from
Flamers like Ver.  The guy can bare read a cue card.  He’s an hourly employee.  

Therefore just a heads up now, IXcoin will be fully compliant - I’ve said that day one.  KYC, AML5, AML, KY, it’s gonna be shoved down the throats of devs.

So do NOT buy ixc if you’re planning to buy anything illegal or your money is from a corrupt source.  Crypto is the most traceable money on earth.  Anonymously was a lie and so is decentralization.  

Put honest money in ixc that’s I’m appealing to the poor. $100 is big money for them.  I meet them all the time.

I promise you when they force KYC compliance on us I will freeze and confiscate your coins and put them in the miners pool.

Ixcoin coin is an honest coin for honest people.  Rest of you corrupt greedy Fagatrons go buy “anonymous” dash ETH, BCH and All the hype coins that won’t be here when things get real.  


Fair warning ahead so you don’t I don’t take everything you own.  I have no pity on evil predators and corrupt.  DPR can suck it daily in prison.  That maggot destroyed countless lives for profit.  If you think that’s ok then ixc ain’t for you.  

Best wishes, plenty of good coins for now but ixc will be number 1.  I don’t accept nor call i live being second at anything.  

You’re dismissed...

I’m gonna post this on this fake dead thread and the new live thread. 

I’ve always posted my trades and what I had.  I was trying to motivate others to buy.  And I don’t mind.

Can people post if they have above or below 200,000k.   I figure whale level.  I’m just curious. 

I got the most so that what really counts.  And don’t tell me you have 400 ixc.  lol

Vlad

IXC real deal DEV 8 years straight. 
Chairman of an empty board - I’m picky
Biggest bag holder for 8 years.  Should have traded.

Thanks!

Thanks for firing me up for deleting my OP.  

You idiot “investors” first hearing about ix, the first Bitcoin clone, stop chasing expensive dogs and buy a piece of the future while you can still afford it (~$.25).  When it moons you won’t have time to buy it.

Wake Up muppets, they got you sleeping with hype, misinformation and easy money but that’s all gonna collapse like the titanic hitting the iceberg and you’re all the rats 🐀 on-board, who actually mostly deserve it.  So don’t buy ixcoin.  

It’s listed on freiexchange.  Best customer service and great mobile UI too.  Also very active in telegram.

You don’t deserve this but I can’t help it.  Besides, only 1% of you will buy now.


Destinul oilor.    

Please don’t delete my OP again.  I’ve been lead dev of ixcoin for 8 years and the old thread is dead with the OP gone for over 2 years. 

Let it be. 

Thank you, cobra! 

Buy on freiexchange using btc.  Transfer btc to frei. 

I meant that I can help if someone doesn't know how or where to buy IXC. I'm definitely not selling.

Thanks for offer.  YOU selling OTC? 

Followers, MAybe they’ll double triple but the freeze and crash will come fast they’ll crying for some ixcorn.

Thanks joining.  Bitcoin rebounding to $70k.  Alt boom will start. Buy all the alts you can cause most will buy ixc will kill’em all.

No mercy, especially on btc.  Now I got a thing fot crusb bch but we need their pipeline. 

Meanwhile people joining the "BTC squad" at $54,000:


If anyone needs help setting up the IXcoin wallet or buying IXC, post here.

As a baseline, ixc price today was $.20.  Was .005 about 2-3 months ago where it laid in waste for years no matter what we did.  I couldn’t give IX away in Romania for free where people make $380 per month because it was so cheap they looked at me like I was a scammer or crazy.  Really shocking experience. 

There’s a time for peace and a time for war.

The time for crypto WAR is here.  All useless coins and fiat will die and be replaced by IX. 


Vlad the Destroyer
No mercy - time to clean up crypto of all the liars fakes and frauds. 

I’ve been the dev of IXCoin for 8 year with little help from
Anyone. No compensation of any kind. I killed any pump
And dump attempt cause I wanted a clean image, as a result we never raised easy money.  We never sold out.  Deadsea and bled for this coin but he has given up.  Thomas Nasakioto the creator has been MIA for ~4 years.

But I never never up.  I put my own cash over 700,000 IXcoin and used myself as a propaganda model to keep IXcoin alive because I predicted from the beginning it and all the old legit coins like I0C, NMC, would be nurried under big money and big hype coins.  And that’s exactly what happened.  But anyone who’s been in crypto a few years remembers me and IXcoin - the bitcoin twin.  

The old thread the went MIA and now someone thinks this coin is dead so they can take it over even tho I have been active daily and telling people to buy everywhere I go and gave away hundreds of thousands of ixc to grow the community.  Truth is nobody cares about a cheap coin.  We need a good dev and awareness.

I don’t like ixc being a sidechain when it can do it all and, instantly and for fractions of a penny txs.  There are no coins like IXcoin.  Buy while you can on Freiexchange cause there isn’t much left.  Ignore the noise and hype, join the real crypto revolution
While it’s pennies.  And it has been for years.  No other coin offered merge mining and penny priced for fair distribution for almost a decade available for purchase on many exchanges over the years.

About:
iXcoin White Paper - external link
iXcoin White Paper in Simplified Chinese - external link

Ixcoin is a fork of Bitcoin with twice the inflation rate of Bitcoin and the same 21 million total limit.
Ixcoin is intended to closely mirror code updates to Bitcoin to allow for easy interoperability with Bitcoin-related third party services and APIs.

iXcoin (IXC) is the second oldest alt-coin, launched 10 days after Namecoin. iXcoin is the 1st clone of Bitcoin, the only identical Bitcoin Twin in existence, fully matured and fully distributed, low cost P2p network to offer irreversible, low cost, highly scalable transactions. IXC an open source & decentralized digital currency.


How does Ixcoin differ from Bitcoin?


Ixcoin is merge mined with Bitcoin
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-work

Shorter maturity period
All Ixcoins were been generated by  Oct 2014. Mining relies solely on transaction fees now. Ixcoin reached it's maturity  ~18 years before Bitcoin's.

New blockchain
Although Bitcoin's blockchain is in the same format as Ixcoin's, they use different genesis blocks and have a different reward scheme. So Bitcoins will not be valid in the Ixcoin blockchain and vice-versa.

Different default ports
Bitcoin's operating port 8332 is now 8337 with Ixcoin.
Bitcoin's RPC server port 8333 is now 8338 with Ixcoin.

New key format
Wallet public keys now start with the letter x instead of the number 1 for Bitcoins.
Bitcoin wallet key: 175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W
Ixcoin wallet key : x75tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W



History


IXC developers

Devs 1&2
Thomas Nasakioto and Fred Twingham
-Responsible for the creation of IXC

Dev 3
DoubleC
-Responsible for merge mining updates with version 0.3.24.3

Dev 4
Frictionlesscoin - hited double paid By Me then foumdation mercenary dev
-Responsible for update 0.8.6. This was the first update since Dec 2011 and helped bring about a resurgence in IXC interest.  He took some 6 months For 140k ix to mostly copy and paste Bitcoin update.

Dev 5 / 6 / 7
Ahmed Bodi & GroundRod, Cinnamon_Carter - legit devs, never got paid but They left not long after They joined.
-These fine developers stepped up to the plate to get IXC updated to the latest BTC codebase 0.9.2 and 0.9.3
 Cinnamon_Carter was a developer, a tester and consultant in iXcoin community

Dev  8 / 9 / 10 / 11
Domob helped by Snailbrain, Starmman & ArchimedesIX - Legit but quit and left us Hanging For 2 years now
-These fine gentlemen stepped up to the plate to get IXC updated to the latest BTC codebase 0.14 and 0.14.1


Vlad2Vlad - the only determinated and unrelenting dev who in 8 years never gave up and raised community funds and paid much more out of pocket to hire some of the above shameless greedy mediorcre devs.  I forgot I also paid famous marketing genius Jeffery Peterson 370,000 ixc out of pocket after promising the best marketing ever and he vanished with my coins.  
- iXcoin Dev and spokesperson  - anybody calls me spokesperson after the last 8 years of lies theft and torture I’ll cave your face in.  I am the lead dev of IXC for 8 years.  And I gave it all I had and I’m still active daily, mostly on telegram.  

Cinnamon, Thomas and deadsea are the only ones that have the right to be called true devs of IX with me, far outlasting, outspending and speaking out all these years for people to buy ixc.  That does that make me a spokesman, douche Ver is a spokesman.  I’m a believer and that’s why I’ll never quit no matter the bribes, traps and death threats I get.  

Welcome to IXcoin, brother, welcome to the future.  It’s hard to envision but I see it as clear as day, ixc will be number one.

FAQ FROM THE ORIGINAL WEBSITE IXCOIN..co with links updated. New better site common soon.  


P2P Virtual Currency
Ixcoin is a peer-to-peer currency based on Bitcoin with a shorter maturity. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new money or tracks transactions. These tasks are managed collectively by the network which currently secures Ixcoin with 10 PetaHash/s. Ixcoin is the first Bitcoin clone or Alternative chain, created in May 2011 just a few weeks after the distributed DNS Namecoin. Today, there exists many Bitcoin clones.

General
What is Ixcoin?

Ixcoin is an open source digital currency, based on the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which is distributed over a peer-to-peer network to offer irreversible, low-cost, anonymous and decentralized monetary transactions. Ixcoin is the first Bitcoin clone or Alternative chain, created in May 2011 just a few weeks after the distributed DNS Namecoin. Today, there exists many Bitcoin clones, thousands, but IXcoin was the 1st and has never died or been 51 attacked.  

Ixcoins are the unit of currency of the Ixcoin system. Similarly to Bitcoin's BTC, a commonly used shorthand for this is “IXC” to refer to a price or amount (eg: “100 IXC”). An Ixcoin isn't tangible. It is just a number associated with a Ixcoin Address, which is a string of 33 numbers and letters which begin with the letter x such as xa9jpgHugb2pTCpzoZcDdiHKepy8mjpddX. See also an easy intro to bitcoin.

There are currently ~11M (as of June 2013) in existence and it is expected that all 21 million Bitcoins will have been generated by 2033. Whereas all 21 million Ixcoins are available now in 2015. This is because 16*6=96 IXC were created per new block, instead of 50 BTC in Bitcoin.

Ixcoin maturity will be reached ~18 years before Bitcoin's. By mid-2013, the number of IXC and BTC will reach parity (for a brief moment).

New blockchain

Although Bitcoin's blockchain is in the same format as Ixcoin's, they use different genesis blocks and have a different reward scheme. So Bitcoins will not be valid in the Ixcoin blockchain and vice-versa.

Different default ports

Bitcoin's operating port 8333 is changed to 8337 with Ixcoin.

Bitcoin's RPC server port 8332 is defaulted to 8338 in Ixcoin.

Merged Mining

Ixcoin implemented merge mining with Bitcoin in 2012. Merge mining allows a Bitcoin miner to mine for more than one block chain at the same time. The benefit is that every hash the miner does contributes to the total hash rate of both (all) currencies, and as a result they are all more secure.

New key format

Wallet public keys now start with the letter x instead of the number 1 as in Bitcoins:

Bitcoin wallet key

    175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W

Ixcoin wallet key

    x75tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W

Where is my wallet stored in Ixcoin?

Your Ixcoin wallet is stored in the Ixcoin data directory. This is the same location format as with Bitcoin and will typically be of the form:

    Windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\IxCoin

    Windows Vista/7 C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\IxCoin

    Linux ~/.ixcoin/

    Mac ~/Library/Application Support/Ixcoin/


Can I use my bitcoin.conf and bitcoin.pid with Ixcoin?

Yes. Just rename them respectively to ixcoin.conf and ixcoin.pid and move them to your system's wallet directory (see above). Alternatively, use the command switches -conf= and -pid= respectively to point to your custom bitcoin.conf and bitcoin.pid files.
Are there any other differences between Ixcoin and Bitcoin?

Apart from those listed above, Ixcoin is a direct fork of the original Bitcoin source code. The goal is for Ixcoin to mirror Bitcoin's code exactly (apart from listed differences) in the future.

Note that dnsseeds are disabled by default in the build until an Ixcoin DNS seed formed.

How many Ixcoins will there be?

21 million Ixcoins, just like Bitcoin. But Ixcoin will reach full maturity ~18 years before Bitcoin.

Can I run both Ixcoin and Bitcoin at the same time?

Yes. Both clients can run side-by-side.

Are Bitcoin client clones compatible with Ixcoin?

Most Bitcoin client clones will need minor modifications to work with Ixcoin such as changing the operating port to 8337, altering the blockchain verification code if any and changing the address generation algorithm.

Can I use my Bitcoins as Ixcoins?

No. Bitcoins have the same relationship to Ixcoin as they have to any other currency (e.g. USD, GBP). You would need to exchange/convert them for valid Ixcoins first via an exchanger service.

Are my Bitcoin addresses compatible with Ixcoin?

No. Your Bitcoin addresses/keypairs will not be recognized by the Ixcoin blockchain, so although they might work they will not point to valid Bitcoins (and vice-versa).

You will need to either mine Ixcoins or use an exchanger to convert fiat currency or Bitcoins for Ixcoins.

How do I convert my Bitcoins to Ixcoins?

Via an exchanger that will buy/sell bitcoins for Ixcoins and vice-versa, such as Cryptopia , Yobit , CoinExchange

How do I mine Ixcoins?

As of October 2014 mining is complete but the blockchain can still send coins because of merged mining with bitcoin. However, from block 450,000 an hard fork (0.14.1) will allow the distribution to miners of all the premine.

What is value of a Ixcoin?

Like Bitcoins and other currencies, the current spot value of a Ixcoin with regards to other denominations will likely vary depending on supply and demand.

Where can I download Ixcoin source code?

Please go to https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/releases

Where can I download precompiled Ixcoin client?

https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/releases

What license if Ixcoin distributed under?

Under the MIT License, like Bitcoin

What does the Ixcoin version number mean?

Ixcoin will keep the same version naming convention as the Bitcoin releases. Therefore version 0.14.1 of Ixcoin corresponds to a modified version of Bitcoin release 0.14.1. The intend is to keep Ixcoin tailing any new updates to Bitcoin.

Who owns Ixcoin?

Everybody. You are welcome to submit code to the https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/releases which the community members in the https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1616394 will vote to include or not in the next release of Ixcoin. However, Ixcoin is intended to closely mirror code updates to Bitcoin (except for differences previously outlined) to allow for easy interoperability with Bitcoin-related third party services and APIs.

Who created Ixcoin?

The Ixcoin fork of Bitcoin was created by Thomas Nasakioto in May 2011.

Is it profitable to mine Ixcoin?

With merged mining, little extra work is necessary to mine Ixcoin alongside Bitcoin which benefits both chains and increases rewards.

Will Ixcoin replace Bitcoin?

Ixcoin will exist in parallel to Bitcoin, just like multiple currencies coexist today. Exchanges will enable BTC/IXC conversions and the market will determine the value of each.

Where can I find out more about Ixcoin?

Since most Bitcoin-related material also applies to Ixcoin, please refer to the Bitcoin Wiki for more information. For current events contact the growing community of developers and board members of the Ixcoin Project
