Agreed ... on to 5 more strong years!

Oh of course I did. I cleaned up on IXC, IOC, and SC1. MEGA BUCKS!

There's Vircurex.com.

Merged mine it to get its hash rate up, more exchanges will open or re-open once its not so vulnerable to double-spending.

Though if there is no exchange directly to fiat that could be good for using it in games, as it might help maintain the claim it is just a game tokens system not a currency thus playing games with it is not gambling...

BCX true it isn't dead.

It's on life support.

I dont see anyone developing for it either so it really has no purpose. Not even profit since there is no exchange.

I believe doublec closed it some time ago. Maybe the double spends mentinoed above might have had something to do with it? At least the fact that double spends seemed to be too easily possible.

I have prepared my Open Transactions server for IXCoin trading among various other currencies and assets, but I admit this double spend / blockchain attack threat has me somewhat concerned too.

I figured though that at the least I could set up DigiIXCoin tokens equal to the ancient IXCoins I have in stock that are so old it is presumably far too late now for anyoen to try to double-spend them...

Where is the URL?!

http://ixchange.bitparking.com/ ?

When you say you made a killing with it, do you merely mean that you dumped it and thus are now actually not very rich in number of Ixcoins you control?

Or do you mean that you leveraged your position to such an extent that you now own huge amounts of Ixcoin in addition to various assets you aquired in the course of becoming one of the largest holders of Ixcoin?

There is a character I see from time to time in the Galactic Milieu named Ix, who seems to maybe even be thinking of trying to develop some kind of Ixian culture or nation or species or something but so far has basically mostly just caused other players to think of Ixcoin as a kind of personal IOU or something of this particular character, useful possibly in trading with that character but of questionable use otherwise.

Maybe you and Ix could get together and build up Ixcoin more than just that one character's personal trading, limited by how much loot that one character (albeit quite strong, being an Quetzacoatl) carry to and from his/her/its trading-posts?

It can be merged-mined, so serves as one more chain to include in any extended trial of merged mining.

How many chains can be merged-mined at once? We don't know yet, so we also don't really know yet how much it really costs per chain to add more chains to one's merged-mining. Can one mine enough that every stock on a stock-exchange could have a chain of its own? Enough to do that for all stock exchanges? So far all we know is merging a few chains seems to work fine...

...Which means that so far we haven't even really had any pressure for efficiency improvements in merged mining such as selecting which chains to merge at a given moment based on which have fee-paying transactions available, which could be a useful improvement if/when the number of chains one could choose from becomes far larger than the number one can effectively merge at one moment...

Yes totally in the dumper only ~300gh/s mining it now.

I guess Ixcoin wasn't really here to stay eh BCX?

 

Correct!

Speculators. They think/hope that ixcoin will skyrocket in value like bitcoin did and they do not wish to be left out of the price bubble party. That's all there is to it - at least for the time being.

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

Who is buying Ixcoins and why?

Quickly, sell them ALL before their value goes down the gutter!!!!

Heh, then I guess your forum nickname is pretty fitting eh I admire your honesty. You get extra + from me for that. Many here will not admit that to themselves let alone to the rest of the world.

Honestly I kind of wish ixcoin started with a ridiculously high difficulty and work in reverse to squash such profiteers. It would've been an interesting experiment, and I hope someone releases another fork with a so called "egalitarian" mechanism built in.

Congrats on becoming an ixcoin equivalent of the federal reserve. Now can you please start offering loans in ixcoins ? C'mon generate some economic activity with that huge stash!

Yep, we will have 21 different flavors of the cryptocurrency idea - vanilla, chocolate, cherry? Pick your flavor today.

Yeah really I don't see why everyone is throwing such a hissy fit. I thought this community believed in the whole "let the free market do its thing" idea, no? Let it be. The superior system will come out on top. Bitcoin has the first mover advantage, and at this point without unique and better features I don't see ixcoin subplanting bitcoin any time soon. The most likely scenarios are:

1) it will die a slow death
2) it will die a quick death - blaze of crypto glory if you will
3) it will find a niche as the "sidekick" to bitcoin and some value or use will be assigned to it by the market

Personally I'm disappointed that the creator of ixcoin released it without bothering to make one slight improvement over bitcoin. I really expected at least an encrypted wallet by default, or a better UI design than the ugly-ass 1960's design the stock bitcoin client currently has. Also copying the entire bitcoin website verbatim and just swapping "bitcoin" for "ixcoin" is pretty lame.

I can come up with many other complaints, but I don't think it will make one damn difference as the system is already out there as it is. Some of the core properties cannot be changed without a major upheaval from the existing userbase.

But like I said, the thing is already out in the wild so let's wait and see how it fares.

FTFY

I'm not sure that BEX can see your post from behind all the stacks of Ixcoins.
