That is silly, it was never dead, it is just that a lot of miners have been too lazy to run their own merged mining setups so have been missing out on most of the merged mined coins.
If you chose not to throw RAM at it that is your choice, don't go all dog in the manger / sour grapes now just because others were willing to spend resources to keep on mining.
Sounds like you probably also are not mining GRouPcoin, CoiLedCoin, and GeistGeld, too?
GeistGeld in particular is in the same boat that I0Coin was: they both exposed a resource cost of merged mining that all merged mined coins will eventually face. It has now been fixed in I0Coin and hopefully the fix will soon be applied to GeistGeld too, then hopefully also eventually to all the merged mined coins before they start to suffer as much as I0Coin and GeistGeld did.
Those who have thrown resources at keeping those coins alive have done all merged mined coins a service by continuing to keep at least some small amount of awareness on the memory problems all such coins are going to have to eventually deal with.

just a notice:
i0coin was originally launched 2011!
That means 25% of all coins alre already mined.
As for dead mergemined chain, it means mined for free @ zero diff.
It's a i25coin now, not i0coin, if chain is not restarted.
thats so wrong, this is just a fix for the stupidity of the original i0coin, this is not a different coin, just a fixed sourcebase!i0coin was originally launched 2011!

2 possibilities:
1. (actual) "this is not a different coin, just a fixed sourcebase!"
- the SAME genesis block, 2 years of freemining
2 (theoretical) new genesis block
- fair start
That is not wrong. That is why long dead coins CANNOT be resurrected.
..unless someone tries to cheat some people into believing it is, just to dump the freemined worthless coins.

Nice work Rik. Out of curiosity I started the dusty old I0coin windows gui yesterday for the first time this year. This was on a windows 8 x64 vm and I was surprised to see it find a single connection and begin downloading the chain. It eventually crashed of course, but it took 20mins or so and updated thousands of transactions during that time. Possible you can work backwards from the old windows gui to expedite the update process?
Cheers.

Thanks!
Well, the linux GUI seems to work. I have replaced most instances of Bitcoin with I0coin. Windows compilation can probably be done by everyone who can compile Bitcoin v0.8.3. Windows GUI binaries will probably be here before the weekend.
Side node: your old node found other nodes through IRC (there are some old nodes active on the network; I keep it running to be able to spot possible incompatibility issues (none expected and none seen so far)).

Where do I download the client?
I've compiled a windows binary. It can be found in the 'updates' section of the announcement. Please test it. (note, it has no gui, it's just a system service, to communicate with it you run (in another terminal) "i0coind.exe getinfo", for example, or "i0coind.exe help" to see all commands) In "Application Data" there will be a directory called I0coin, in this directory you will find the file debug.log. See inside to know what i0coind.exe is doing.Greetings,

How do I fix that?
How to find out my wallet address?

Hi All,
Thanks for all the positive reactions.
I am working on the GUI. Compilation in GNU/Linux is fixed (update availabe in git repository) and I replaced some bitcoin logo's by i0coin logos.
Next step is to setup a VM with windows to provide GUI binaries. Don't hold your breath...
Greetings,
Rik.

This seems really cool.
I am used to DOS, so using the command prompt is no problem for me. But I really would like to have kind of a manual with the meaning of all the commands. OK, they are kind of "self explanatory", got it. But all the trial and error costs many hours / maybe days. Thanks a lot anyways!
