Any news on this merged mining?

Anybody can mine 5K Ixcoins in a matter of hours at current difficulty.  You might have to sweeten the deal with more Ixcoins than that.

If we are going to go head to head with ShortBus Coin 2.01, then we clearly need loud-mouthed, grating fanboys, who love to post.

As an early adopter of both i0 and iX I would be delighted to put my hat in the ring to help with the obnoxious fanboy aspect of relentless promotion. And since I rarely use irc, you can ban/unban/ban me at will without any repercussions.

And I will throw some Iraqi dinars and Brazilian cruzeros in for the logo contest bounty, because if we are going to resurrect near-necrocoins, we ought to deal with a good old fashioned hyper-inflated dead currency too.

I'm still around. Just having some server issues with ixcoin.org but it should be back up soon.

I'd prefer to go the merged mining route like namecoin with Bitcoin as the primary chain. I still need to look into this in further detail. If someone else has the time inclination and wants to port merged mining to the current ixcoin client, I would be happy to award 5K IXC from the 10K coding bounty.

io coin seems to take ixcoin source, make a couple line tweaks and release it.  I think nasakioto might be working on ixcoin, don't know as the ixcoin.org site is down and he has not posted here in two weeks.  He might be mining before the announcement or just given up.

Any updates? Should I start mining IXcoin / i0coin already?

Even tho killing sc2 (toppling the empire known as realsolid) sounds like a great idea, bringing back ix/i0 is not the answer as they are dead chains with 0 devs supporting them. Im still holding onto 10k i0c just in case but i'm not holding my breath.

Why revive multiple coins I0C/IXC/SC1? Why spreading the buying potential on 3 different coins? (Because if nobody buys the coins they are useless) Why not just 1 coin: SolidCoinPro?  So at the end for GPU there would be mamma BTC, ugly NMC, fresh SC1, and for CPU the fair LTC and the disturbing SC2 (I suppose that GG, TBX and FBX are going to die) 

Premine is nothing but a state. Are you having a stance against a state?
I am not a proponent of premining for the sake of it, but I do not reject it blindly as a state just because some people abused it for their own profit in the past.
Perhaps you can read a couple words further into my proposal before switching into reactive mode.

I do not have any personal opinion as of whether these coins merit to survive.
OP mentions that he wants to consolidate them in a hope that doing so will allow their revival.
The rationale behind is quite obviously to start with a larger user base by leveraging on the vested interest of the stake holders of these three coins.
Only, the plan of using merge mining is naive. Merge mining 3 worthless coins together is not going to do the trick.
Why would you merge mine 3 dead coins if you have already given up mining any of them at all?

On the other hand, SC1 is an interesting carrier of value on which I*C's can cling to recover.
By allowing SC1 users that adopted SC2 to double spend their old coins in the SC1 chain, you are set to gain traction and undermine their exclusive loyalty to SC2.
For I*C user, the incentive is the opportunity of switching their dead coins into a more popular blockchain.
This would finish to kill the original I*C and give enough momentum to SC1 to start becoming a problem for SC2.

I there are people willing to play Frankenstein with dead coins, that should give you a hint that these coins are not completely dead.
They are a pool of unsatisfied expectations that can be tapped into to gain momentum.

BCX, if you are serious about this merger, you know that a loose coupling under merge mining isn't really going to fly.
Instead, respawn SC1 with a premined fund that will cover (exactly: no more no less) the outstanding balance of the other coins you integrate (weighted by relative value), and setup a public claim process whereby the holders of I*C will be granted the corresponding amount of SC1 upon provable destruction of their I*C.

More detail in the thread below (was about merging TBX+FBX+LTC originally).

I would like to see merged mining on iocoin to protect it and end all the mining rewards except transactions.  Preferably with a 5% tax which is deleted.

i'll do it for shit & giggles.

i don't care if he's already mined over9000 million coins.

just for shit & giggles. 

Why should anybody believe you when you say you won't mine?
Like I said, you've said much and proved/backed up absolutely nothing.

BCX is full of shit. Always expecting OTHERS to back up his claims. I'm surprised you people took so long to see that.

All you've done is talk, and talk, and talk, and make claims, and never back up even one (1) of those claims despite them being easily backed up, and talk and talk and talk.
RS has at least released a something that may or may not be vaguely sort of successful (depends on what you think his goals are).

I'm flattered by the name drop, but when I'm not getting drawn into arguments on this forum I've already got a project I'm working on, and I don't have the coding chops for alt client work. Good luck to you.

Bragging about BTC is a very stupid idea I tell you.

But since it is you it could as well mean anything, go on with your business.

Now you know, why he is spreading FUD for all the alt-chains? Because he wants to protect his main asset...

wait... wat?

Didn't you already make wild claims about SC1 continuing once?


For the first time, I actually agree with Spacy:


If you (BEX) want them to continue, put some work into it.
So far all I have seen is an awful lot of talk and zero code.
Hell, RS has put out more usable code (open source, even) than BEX so far.
