Hi Vlad,

If you want to check an alt which has been only rising and should rise a lot more soon check NLG (Guldencoin).

So Vlad, in this thread you are saying that you needed to sell your presious ixcoin to pay bills??

But you are posting all over the alt coin section investigatiing and buying multiplie other coins. You said you bought 1 btc of maxcoin, a few million earthcoin +++.

Why say that you sell your ixcoin to pay bills, when you actually sell them to buy other coins?


I've told lots of people I started diversifying some 3 months ago.  This is not a secret.

Problem is, those alts I bought 3 months ago are down 90%+.  So if I need money, do I sell a coin which I paid 1BTC for and I can know get .1 BTC or do I sell IXC where I get .5 BTC for everyone 1 BTC I paid.

Basic math tells me I have to sell IXC.  And I am always researching other coins cause it keeps me busy so I don't go nuts thinking about just IXC.

Cheers!

Anybody with a great reputation and no need for money [ie. BCX] wanna lend me 3 Bitcoins for a few months?  I can give you 100,000 iXCoins as collateral against the 3 Bitcoins which you can hold until I pay you back.  That should make the loan totally risk free, but I would need to totally trust you as I would be totally devastated should I get robbed of that 100,000 IXC.

Let me know cause I'm running out of options and I do NOT want to sell any more of my iXCoins.
Regards...
I calculate the current FX rate is about 55k IxC for 3 BTC.  However I doubt if I sold 100k IxC I'd get 3 BTC given liquidity.  Plus history shows risk is on the downside, and firing up some shitty client just to get an address is a PITA.

I hope you manage to solve your short term issues, and that you don't compound them by speculating on currently sexy alts.  If you need the money just sell your IxC, I know it'll hurt but it's the safest and wisest route IMO.

Wow, Do you realise that the last 19 comments of Zebedee are all for iXcoin Todo? At this rate, you will end up on the board.  Cheesy

It seems everyone is still trying to figure out what the TODO is other than quiet death.  Let's hope it's painless.

Most amusing thread on the board at the moment.

I wouldn't worry about LTC - not short term.  The Bitcoin experts have no answers to Bitcoins imminent problems and given Bitcoin must go mainstream [in a big way] next year, it will need a lot of help with cheaper transactions and also to handle the much greater transactions volume.

My guess is that these experts will choose to lessen the load on BTC by using LTC and doge.
You are funny Vlad.  I just hope you don't believe most of what you write.

what do u need the BTC for vlad?  have to pay some bills?

u could open a donation fund.  after all u did for ixcoin im sure many would wanna donate to u?

many small sums make up 3 btc easily, no ?

~CfA~

Yes, I've had to sell hundreds of thousands of my IXC over the last few months to pay bills and I can't do it anymore as I'm selling at a big loss as it is and I've sold the vast majority of my coins. 

Donation fund?  Haha.  I would be thrilled to just get a LOAN fund and pay it back when I'm on my feet but I can't even get most people here to pitch in coins for improving iXCoin, how in the world can I expect to get personal help from donations?

Seriously, the thought didn't even cross my mind to ask for financial help.  And It doesn't feel right since I'm supposed to be helping iXCoin and this community and not the other way around.

Really sad, shitty situation to be in right now.

Will it ever happen, who knows? I am not part of the LTC dev in any capacity but I do have some direct contact. They are aware LTC needs some "refreshing" if it is going to survive.

~BCX~





I wouldn't worry about LTC - not short term.  The Bitcoin experts have no answers to Bitcoins imminent problems and given Bitcoin must go mainstream [in a big way] next year, it will need a lot of help with cheaper transactions and also to handle the much greater transactions volume.

My guess is that these experts will choose to lessen the load on BTC by using LTC and doge.  So LTC should hit $100 in the next 12 months but it will never be secure enough long term for mass adoption.

That said, it's my opinion the recent attack on LTC to drop it to $3 was nothing more than manipulation by those in the know to kill the price so they can buy up millions of LTC before news of Litecoin being added to Bitpay and Coinbase becomes official. 

This is All pure speculation on my part, of course.

9500 LTC... that was like $475,000 in its peak.

Hopefully you are aware that bcx as well coblee et al had gpu miners prior to the ltc launch. It is pretty well known that he is one of the largest ltc holders and was paid a very large amount early on to pull back his attck on the infant ltc chain after knocking off pretty much every other early altcoin that was launched back then. Finding 9500 ltc isn't that big of a deal for people like bcx.


Say what you will about BCX and his attack of ShitCoins but he was terrified to attack Nuggets.  Even when I begged him to do it. Hahaaaa.

Nuff said.  lol.

Its not a joke it s been privately suggested by forum administration many times as far as i know.  I dunno why exactly tho thats why im asking him directly.

~CfA~


Well, I don't know what to say.  That blows me away more than stumbling across nearly $500,000 worth of LTC like finding an old pair of socks.  lol. 

Maybe one day iXCoin will be that kind of story.

What? Is this a joke?  I've never heard that before about anyone on this forum.

If that's true then I am really blown away.

 LTC in my opinion is pretty much dead. The entire reason for LTC was a decentralized mining environment where anybody could acquire standard hardware and participate.   Now with scrypt ASIC, that reason is all but gone.   


I wouldn't abandon it just yet.

There is serious talk of changing the algo to de-optimize ASIC mining.


~BCX~



Well....  they definitely dropped the ball on that one....  it was pretty clear that ASIC miners were within reach,  they should have made changes before any of them hit the streets.

So where did you post that you sold most of your IXC?  And why?


I've been posting for at least a couple months now on various threads that I've had to sell to pay bills.  It wasn't all at once, just a few blocks at a time as I needed the money.

I will not go below 1% or 210,000 IXC.  I'll beg, borrow and steal before I sell anymore.  And if I can get any money to buy BTC I will start buying my IXC back.

I've been out of a job since last year so making ends meet has been a very difficult task for me.  My wife is not very happy about all the money I pumped into this imaginary crypto money.  She keeps telling me:  "It's not even real money."  Haha.

I hope to prove her wrong and show her all the real things this imaginary money can buy [within the next year].


I have about 240,000 IXC on a hard drive some where from back in the day when I routinely forked it. I also have about 60K on another set of flash drives from DS several exchanges back then also. Recently I started going through a bunch of flash drives and found 400K of SC2 across several hundred wallets I setup to attack it on launch day as well pleasantly finding 9500 LTC I totally forgot I had mined during the first few weeks.

Best of luck on IXC but I seriously doubt it is going anywhere.

Theoretically you have about ~10 BTC but selling off that much IXC would be near impossible, so yeah, hold it or sell it slow.


~BCX~

pleasantly finding 9500 LTC I totally forgot I had mined during the first few weeks.

Geez, makes me Jelly, I would sell those Litecoins in a heartbeat.

The price drop has been caused by some members of these community which are moving their cryptosaving mainly to btc, hoping in a imminent boom.

Maybe they are right. Diversify can help you to sleep sweet dreams.

The price dropping to 0,0000011 on Cex.io was an evident manipulation: from 3 cent to 0,2 cent in one day and back again to 2,5-2,6 cent....

For sure iXcoin is a very risky investment, cheap at the same time.

Probably many had the same thought about Bitcoin years ago.

It's nice to see many volunteering in helping us out to get out from IXC asap.

Maybe they are right, or maybe they hope to be right. In order to convince themselves, people tend to repeat the same thing over and over to any person they meet, even when nobody asked about it. They even study the "enemy" so well to know it better of anyone else.

What is sad, cryptos need to support each other, not to fight each other. I like for example the idea of the coming merging of Doge with Ltc. I think they will both benefit from this "cooperation".

With Bitcoin is different: it wanna run alone, ignoring expecially merge mined coins. Why? They fear to lose power. Fear is the greater enemy, not iXcoin.

When I saw the empy seats in Austria and London, well, that makes people fear about their future, not iXcoin. Instead of working unitedly against a rooted system, we spend most of our energies in a useless fight.

If all these coins will ever be banned, included Bitcoin, remember: all because Bitcoin community has ignored the potential support of all the other communities.


Some insight that I agree with.

You definitely need to be selective, diversify and pick potential winners.

Before last November, I was in BTC, LTC, NMC.

I've sold off all my LTC and NMC and am now mostly just BTC and a fraction of Maidsafe.

The market seems to have transitioned from just rudimentary clones (i.e. LTC) to more sophisticated alternatives like Ripple, Stellar, BitsharesX, Ethereum and Maidsafe.   The only Proof of works coins that will survive long term are those in the Bitcoin ecosystem,  NMC, IXC and DVC.   LTC in my opinion is pretty much dead. The entire reason for LTC was a decentralized mining environment where anybody could acquire standard hardware and participate.   Now with scrypt ASIC, that reason is all but gone.
