Hi,
I haven't read through all the forum posts since I last checked last month. Apparently ahmed_bodi has developed or is developing an update to 0.9.2. I'm happy to look at it and maybe someone can send me a link to the release/code. If the community has an opinion on his work, please let me know too. If it looks good and the community is fine with it, I can pay the bounty.
I see someone is mentioning updating ixcoin.org. I'm happy to give a trusted someone access to ixcoin.org to put more updates there as I don't have the time to work on it myself.
Greetings Thomas!
Ditto cinnamon_carter's suggestions. As you can see that github branch is forked off this location:
https://github.com/IXCoin-Dev/IXCoinUnless you want to work something out with ahmed_bodi to obtain the github.com/ixcoin repository, it will become the new official ixcoin developers link for 9.2 and beyond.
For my part, I've been testing the win32 exe on an XP SP3 computer, and it's working fantastic, from a client wallet users pov:
Windows QT:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/743o27bf80g850o/ixcoin-qt-0.9.2.1-win32.zipThe only problem I've found so far, besides a very few cosmetic issues, is that an upgrade from your v0.3.24.3 client first MUST be made with FrictionlessCoin's v8.6 wallet, then the upgrade from there to 9.2 has been working perfectly and was nearly instantaneous. That executable found here:
http://www.ixcoin.co/?page_id=21Note: No coins have ever been lost by me in sending/receiving between any of the 3 versions. The above issue ONLY matters if an old coin holder wants to migrate 3+ years of blockchain files from the v0.3.24.3 client to the new 9.2.1 client, they must first upgrade to the 8.6 version, then the 9.2.1 we're about to release. Anyone can re-download ALL 3+years of blockchain at any time, with any version.
My intention is to produce a ixcoin-bootstrap-20140xxx.zip file as close to right after the last mined coins appear, then make it available for download and/or via a torrent....
Note to community: Assuming FrictionlessCoin is no longer involved, whomever paid for and/or is going to be in charge of the new or rejuvenated ixcoin.org site, needs to grab all the content from the ixcoin.co website that seems useful to us moving forward as the new community, expect it to disappear. Note that FrictionlessCoin also has those executables up on SourceForge here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ixcoin-ng/files/iXcoin/ixcoin-0.8.6/beta/And the source is on his GitHub repository, I've copies of all those files, but not anything else that might be on the ixcoin.co site.
Best of luck to you Thomas, as much as I would have liked to qualify for that bounty, my hats off to ahmed_bodi for getting this done, I'm certain it will be only a matter of days after he's thoroughly tested the new ixcoin merged mining code on PolyMYR pools, before he's able to give us a complete release that meet your requirements.
Thanks for planting the seed
@cinnamon_carter Looking forward to your compile testing....
@Community - Are we going to have a wiki.ixcoin.org site as well? If not we should change references in the new ixcoin 9.2 client code (console help) back to reference the bitcoin.org wiki....

ETA: Ditto Vlad2Vlad's comments...
