Topic: [IXC] iXcoin - Bitcoin's Twin Brother (Read 2713 times)

iXcoin is now available on three new exchanges:

Yobit
Coinexchange
Cryptopia

Great idea.  Who can make that happen?

My suggestion for not only ixcoin but i0, dev etc. is to add in atomic exchanges with bitcoin.

This tech appears to be nearly ready.

And in my opinion is the next evolutionary step for altcoins. And it fixes issues such as what exchange is selling ixcoin.

I not able to create an account on bitebi9.

Has anyone been able to create one?

iXcoin is on a new exchange.  Appears to be a clone of Cryptsy.

Exchange is brand new so we'll see if it lasts.

I like them.  lol.

Some of the videos are hilarious by the way.  I don't know who did them, but they're well done.

Plus, of the two exchanges CEX.io has a tenth the ixcoin volume of Cryptsy.  So it shouldn't affect trading so much... unless Cryptsy bails too.  Just in case, we need to work on getting ixcoin on more exchanges.

CEX.io was holding back iXcoin anyway since they wouldn't upgrade their wallet.  Maybe now we can get everyone upgraded to 0.9.3 and move on to better options.

mail from cex.io

GHash.IO pool will be stopped. GHash.IO multipool will be suspended as well.

Hence, the following altcoins will be removed from CEX.IO exchange:
IXC, DVC, POT, ANC, MEC, WDC, FTC, DGB, USDE, MYR, AUR.

If anything, iXcoin has historically had far fewer threads than most other coins, new or old.  We're over due for a few more.  We've been needing a thread to consolidate iXcoin information and make announcements.  Here it is.

Why open new thread for old coins?

Holy
Launched (first block mined): April 29, 2011...   it is like age 70 compare to human...

I just wanted to start the thread clean now that I have the design pretty well set.

its old coin ann again and again.

Why a new ANN? What's wrong with the original one, or the one created yesterday?

iXcoin was released in April of 2011 in a manner similar to Bitcoin. The creator used the pseudonym of Thomas Nasakioto and has kept a very low profile ever since. It is essentially a clone of Bitcoin, with the same 10 minute block times and 21 million coin maximum.

One key difference from Bitcoin is that iXcoin was mined at a faster rate, so it was fully mined by October 13, 2014. It now relies on transaction fees to pay miners. Another difference is iXcoin's merged mining capability. Early in 2012 iXcoin added merged mining to boost its mining support. Some complain that Bitcoin, although revolutionary as a currency, wastes energy because it must be “mined” continuously to produce new coins and to secure it from network attacks. Mining requires significant computing power, but merged mining, it can be argued, puts iXcoin in the green category because it shares mining power with Bitcoin and other merged mined coins. Such mining allows multiple crypto-currencies to be secured by sharing 99% of their computing resources with each other. Thus the “added” computing power required by iXcoin is quite low. Merged mining is green mining.

What sets iXcoin apart from other crypto-currencies? iXcoin is in a unique position. It has a fixed 21 million coin maximum for the number of coins which will ever be created. Many of the other leading coins do not have a fixed cap. A definite maximum gives investors the ability to better gauge long term value, and removes any fear that inflation from oversupply will eat away at the value of their coins. Such has been the dilemma for decades with traditional government backed currencies, and iXcoin will not repeat such mistakes. Furthermore, about 98% of competing coins have lower network hash rates and are therefore less secure. This leaves iXcoin in a unique position of being one of the oldest, most mined, most secure, and most efficient of the crypto-coins.
