I thought Ixcoin is one of the merged-mined coins the merged mining pool at BitParking mines?
Also, it is traded on Vircurex as well as on the Digitalis Open Transactions server.

i have 0 connections 0 block 0 transaction in windows 7 anyone please help !
Are you sure these are the correct btc ports? They looked switched..
Bitcoin's operating port 8332 is now 8337 with Ixcoin.
Bitcoin's RPC server port 8333 is now 8338 with Ixcoin.

Is this ever coming back guys? What do you think?
Pretty sure it's dead.

I just installed the latest win32 client and seeing 0 connections as well, looks like it's dead.
hold on, if it's dead, how are they still mining/trading it ?
***using linux client, I'm able to connect to the network, it's not dead

I'm looking into the ixc thing. http://www.ixcoin.org/ is so shady, yet has OSX client which does not exist on the pp and terra thing, nice !
However, I'm seeing 0 connections, 0 blocks, 0 transactions, forever. Looks like the network bootstrap is broken, or my client is outdated ??
**crap, noticed that the osx version is behind other versions (Mac OS X unverified 0.3.24.2 only) is that the problem ??

Because it's dead.

Rumors that more altcoins (at least the merge-mined coins because they are safe from 51% attacks) will be added to MtGox if LTC and NMC are a success.
That could / would be good news for Ixcoin
Too bad I sold my 10k IXC at 0.00000000000000000000001 BTC or something close to that
Just 800 of them left by mining at mmpool...
i0coin is really dead now, I guess? Client crashes at 2GB block size / memory limit.

BTW, bitparking has temporarily stopped merge mining ixcoin to fix issues with merge mining and version 1/2 blocks. I hope to resume in a couple of days but in the meantime hashrate of ixcoin and transaction speeds is likely to be low unless someone else joins in.
Bitparking merge mining has resumed.
Merged mining doesn't really take a heck of a lot of resources and so far there aren't even really enough merged mined coin types to even start to really see what the limit would be of how many chains can practically be mined at once. Though a few chains have shown that being massive resource-hogs compared to others can make some chains less attractive than others.
A lot of the problem too is lack of consumer ASIC devices, a whole lot of chains have basically been waiting waiting waiting for a day to come when they can secure themselves, but ASIC being supposedly just around the corner kind of stifled the urge to build more GPU rigs to support one's coins of choice.
Hopefully once ASICs are common and easy to use the people will be able to get around the monolithic pools that marginalise the merged mined chains.

Problem with ixcoin is the subsidy is supposed to stop in less than 2 years. Then it's dead in the water unless there is enough transaction activity to continue mining support, which looks rather unlikely at the current rate, as I think merge miners would drop it without enough income.
Of course at that point it would be easy for someone to take it over and turn the subsidy back on. But then it's not a serious cryptocurrency as its money supply can be changed by a whim.
Maybe Nasakioto just wanted to demonstrate what could happen to bitcoin in the remote future if transaction fees couldn't support enough mining interest
No ... he just wanted to create something with temporary value so he could sell his solo pre-mine and make (people give him) money.Of course at that point it would be easy for someone to take it over and turn the subsidy back on. But then it's not a serious cryptocurrency as its money supply can be changed by a whim.

The coin has no value - just the usual people thinking it has for no reason and throwing BTC at it - or those who mined it before hoping it will go up in value so they can cash out.

IIRC, having this happen early was part of the experiment to see what would result. BTW, bitparking has temporarily stopped merge mining ixcoin to fix issues with merge mining and version 1/2 blocks. I hope to resume in a couple of days but in the meantime hashrate of ixcoin and transaction speeds is likely to be low unless someone else joins in.

Edit: It does have 21M limit and 0 subsidy afterwards (looked at wrong branch earlier):

Price is low, I'm hoarding 
No one wanted to mine at a Massively Merged Mining pool that mined lots and lots of types of coins all at once, so the Massively Merged Mining project was put on back burner pending its ability to start deploying more and more ASICs to secure as many of the meged mine able coins as it reasonably can.
Ixcoin is reasonable to merged mine so it will benefit come that time.

As soon as the ASICS come in action, Ixcoin will be revived
Why is that?
Also is IXCoin dead? Can you trade it?
Yes, just found out you can trade them at VirCurEx.
Just bought me 5,000 of them for 0.7 BTC

Not without someone to take over/continue developing it..
