How do you come by the conclusion that the excitement has died Huh you guys realize that this thing has really only been announced in mass yesterday right Huh?? And you also realize that the difficulty at the moment of writing this is 1024 right Huh How in the world do you figure that it is over Huh I know internet time makes everything accelerated but come on .... the thing is running for (1 day) and you decide it is at the end of its life cycle Huh I must be crazy but no matter how bad of an idea this is I can almost certainly say it is not the end of ixcoin. On the contrary the beginning, as more ppl hear about it even the skeptical will dabble a little in it. and that dabbling hasn't happened yet. And Some will buy it on speculation saying hey what the heck, i'll buy a few btc's worth incase this really takes off. And I would not advise them against it. No one knows where this can go. Look at namecoin, it's still hanging around. And in the inception of bitcoin i'm sure there were alot of trolls like i see commenting here saying it would die but it hasnt died. Long story short even if Ixcoin is going to fail, imho its not at that stage yet...

Thats just my 2 ixcoins..

Again, fundamentals.  What niche does Ixcoin fill?  What can you do with it that you can't already do with Bitcoin?  Why should merchants bother to accept it instead of (or in addition to) Bitcoin?

In other words, why would this ever take off?

I'm pissed because up until now I'd never really lost on bitcoin. I've missed out on all the major opportunities due to buying and selling at the wrong time but somehow i'd always managed to just break even. Now with this I have actually lost money and i'm not happy about it. It's all my own fault yes and obviously I wanted something for nothing but I got nothing for something and I should have seen something like this coming a mile away but I got caught out and I want to rant about it.

what did you do freak out and sell low?

Yes, I probably should have waited longer to get more of my BTC back as it had risen a bit since I sold but overall I think this thing will die soon. The "investors" will drop of now that the excitement has died and it will soon stop being profitable to mine.

If you don't know how to day trade then don't do it at all. End of story.

True, i'd be much better off spending more time in the gym. Who needs money?

i mentioned that i blew 10 btc on these vaporcoins, but i decided not to try to sell them... yes i could get back 1 btc or so but i thought i'd rather just forget about it for a few months and check back later... see how my couple o' thousand ixc are doing then.

Yeah but Namecoin has an unique advantage to it. This one doesn't.

Ok, well then don't mine it.  I took a break for a few hours from mining Bitcoins and mined Ixcoins instead and I'm sitting on a few thousand of them already.  If it takes off, cool.  If not, I missed out on about a half a BTC, or less than five bucks at current exchange rate.  To me, that's an inexpensive risk to take.

Sorry for your loss, but I can't help but point out the ridiculousness of 'early adopters' being the people who bought into this shit in it's first 24 hours. It's gotta be one of the most rapid pump and dumps ever, and people bought in hook, line and sinker. I started calling him out the second I saw it, but no one listens to poor ole' randy.



To be fair, if I'd listened to you, I wouldn't have made what I normally make in 3 weeks in about 4 hours.   I did sell right at the peak so I got lucky, but still Smiley

Yes what happened is that people with bitcoins like me got sucked into buying worthless ixcoins. Sell them while you can because it is not a sound investment its a pump and dump.

That's precisely what people said about Namecoin, and now it's at .033 BTC per NMC.

It's all open source - anyone can do what they like with it. Don't get involved if you don't like it. If it's better than bitcoin it will survive  - if not it will die. I hope more people do exactly the same thing. The more clonecoins the stronger bitcoin will be (unless one of them is better then bitcoin)

Not true, brand dilution is a major problem.

Suppose you are a merchant and have to invest $5k in a new digital currency processing system (POS system). Right now the only choice is bitcoins so you choose a bitcoin compatible system. If there are 5 other digital currencies floating around, you are going to sit on the $5k until one of them 'wins', and then buy in.

Digital currency can be exchanged instantly - if the POS is integrated into an exchange the merchant can accept any digital currency that's available on the exchange
