I hope not too many people are taking this "fork" seriously.
I think it is you who is taking IXcoin too seriously!

I hope not too many people are taking this "fork" seriously.
Come on. Taking the BTC source code, changing almost nothing but the name, and trying to compete with Bitcoin (after mining 500K coins for himself, of course)?
It's not like he's actually solving any problems with this rollout. If anything, several problems with BTC (inflation, for example) are being made *worse*.
And people are falling for it?
To better illustrate what's wrong with IXcoin, try to picture what *would* be a welcome rollout. Say a developer came up with a fork, but also had a business partner who had lined up several websites/programs/an exchange/trust system/reviews system/etc. and rolled it all out at once. Then you might be tempted to think, "Hey, maybe this will be just what we need! This could take over where Bitcoin left off!"
But this fork is a total wannabe in every way. I don't know why anyone's buying into this nonsense.
Here is a post someone else wrote, which sums up the situation nicely. I will only add that "Thomas Nasakioto" is a re-arrangement of the letters in "Satoshi Nakamoto":
I mean, is he claiming to be Satoshi? He better be. You just don't have two guys with the same letters in their names independently coming up with BTC and IXC.
Sorry, I don't believe in those kind of coincidences. I'm not a fool.
I mean, the British Pound and US Dollar weren't invented by two guys named George Franklin and Franklin George!

I mean it should be obvious from his original post. He comes up with a japanese name and puts a japanese picture as his avatar so he can siphon off a supposed "Satoshi"-esque aura "hey, he is from japan. must be awesome!!11!". Then someone finds out he stole some random dude's picture. He responds by saying "oh, I have him as an avatar because I like that guy". Convenient. On top of that, his name is found to be an anagram of Satoshi's full name. Which is particularly odd because he advertises his real name as such and even went as far as to create a facebook account with the same/name picture to make himself appear as a real person. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002513086401
And obviously the whole mining 500k coins before presenting it to the rest of the community. All it takes is a little bit of research to find this all out.
