Wow, this is really going slow now...   I wouldn't think there's much point to mining this over BTC unless you have 5gh/s+.

Just don't be holding IXC when the music stops.

Update: And it looks like the music just stopped.

I think it is quite useful just for trading. It doesn't matter if the Ixcoin price will have a rally or not, but you have the possibility to stay within two cryptocurrencies when you are speculating with bitcoins, as long as the liquidity is high enough....

Wow at difficulty 256 I haven't generated a single block in the last 40 minutes with 4.1 GH/s. Someone is really raping the ixcoin network. Somewhere in the 150 GH/s range.

I hope it's a 'drive difficulty up - then withdraw' attack.

This Ixcoin is such a lame effort. 

If you're just going to tweak numbers.. then how could you miss the opportunity to set the coin limit to 42 million?
(That bitcoin is 21 million has always made me slightly suspicious that Satoshi only intended bitcoin to be the half-baked test run..  what sort of geek doesn't choose  42 where an arbitrary number is called for in a publicly visible place?)

Seriously though..  I thought the next fork might be something that did some real modifications along the line of what Ben Laurie was talking about in his paper
'An Efficient Distributed Currency'.
I'm not convinced such a system would be better than bitcoin, because it implies a bit more centralization and/or trust amongst peers - but it would be different enough to be interesting at least.

Ixcoin - not so much.  I'll buy one coin if it ever trades at approximate parity with the USD for more than one day.
(I was interested in bitcoin before it got to parity - but it had novelty,ingenuity and obvious brains at the helm - Ixcoin appears to be driven by a greedy regexp monkey)

Mod,

Locking, moving, deleting, or hiding this thread is wrong. Don't try to kill the virus because next one will be more dangerous. Let bitcoin immune system adapt and get stronger!

You noticed it too that they mods seem to be against promoting ixcoin in any manner?

They must be early adopters of bitcoin huh.

Someone should just pay Vladamir for one day to overtake and split their chain. Their network's gotta be pretty paltry. I wonder what the cost would be.

Someone should pay some goons to kick over kids sandcastles at the beach, and rip up their monopoly boards and burn their monopoly money.

LOL... Just wondering if the bank lobby did the same to bitcoin?

Yes props to the first person who creates their own block chain and poses as a black person as opposed to a Japanese person.

Wow us ixcoin miners must have pissed off the bitcoin mods. I posted a link to DoubleC's bitcoin->ixcoin exchange and they deleted the posting.

 Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

I guess they think that the smart thing to do. Like that will keep people from finding out.

LOL

NO kidding yeah. Well if you think about it they are doing us early adopters a favor in that we can have more time to mine at extremely low difficulty. LOL

Did you post in the trade section? Markets probably count as trade, don't they?
