Looks like CEX.io has already chosen a symbol for iXcoin.

Very nice indeed.

Not a single nibble on the 1 letter currency design contest I put up.

Come on, Friction, how did you get that great logo done in 3 days and for only 100 IXC?

I'm offering 5 times more and I'm not getting even a response.

We really need a 1 letter symbol to use for the actually currency symbol.

It can be an i or an X.

Does anyone here have any photoshop skills?

500 IXC for the i and 500 IXC for the X.

Come on.

"As long as 'we' control the network, 'we' can make the rules." 


Herein lies the problem.  The network will require massive data centers to secure and control.  This was at the core design of Satoshi's so called anti bank and anti government lies.

The bigger Bitcoin gets and all its clones the farther they will get out of reach for the 99%. 

I saw this last year and was once again called insane for it, cause Andreas Antonopolous told everyone the banks and govt hated Bitcoin and they could never control it.

The best we can do, I'm afraid, is to help guide these currencies into a direction more palatable and people friendly, via a democratic system, such as the foundation board will empower and employ.

And of course, hope to make enough money so that you can help those around you who will not be as fortunate when the crash [of the millennium] does come.

With a thread 172 and growing forgive me if this was posted previously.

Stronger rating !!

Of course these numbers are quick to change with some buy and sell orders for most coins even some of the titans but I thought it worth sharing.

iX has been around , paid it's dues and a strong secure blockchain. This is a very attractive feature on which to build trust which is what I believe to be the key to 'true' (vs. pumped or hyped) VALUE over the long haul.

Every day more people around the world become aware of cryptocurrency and embrace it and governments and corporations are certainly making plans for the future.  

Just as it took a long time for people to pay for things with credit cards as the 'norm' -- worldwide changes don't happen overnight.
(research the history of credit cards they date back to the early 20th century and even late 19th century before Diners Club even existed in the 1950's ect.....)  ..... Today it is rare I go out and see someone not swipe a card.  Cash is going out of style like it or not. In America government 'benefits' like food stamps and unemployment are even done by card.  

We here all see the good (and bad) things that lie ahead as 'credit' and 'debit' cards with banks fees ect.... are replaced by cryptocurrency.
I certainly believe the good outweighs the bad.

As someone stated above , mining is getting out of the reach of the everyday individual.  With the latest increase in bitcoin difficulty the hardware with hash power that was earning .03 btc a day 2 days ago is now more profitable to be turned off and sold on e bay. (Unless anyone thinks difficulty may go down anytime in the near future which is very doubtful as the last time bitcoin difficulty decreased was January of 2013)
A similar trend is taking place with all scrypt 1024 coins as litecoin and the others are no longer 'profitable' from a mathematical standpoint to operate and 'exchange'.  This is part due to more people mining, emerging mining technology and the alternative coin market 'adjusting' itself as it grows larger.

As people are forced to turn off mining or face negatie roi I guess some may turn to speculation but if history has taught us anything we know even top wall st. analysts often do no better than just riding the s&p 500.  

Yesterday I noticed a so called newer 'popular' alt coin had a daily trading volume on cryptsy of over 5600 bitcoin and about half that on mintpal.  
That translated to bitcoin and dollars means five million dollars of that coin traded hands in one day.  That is quite different than a 'pump' with 40 or 50 BTC......


One important thing that helped the internet be so successful as it grew from it's 1970's or really 1990's self to today was backward compatability.

Back in the late 1990's when the 'few' had dsl high speed connections most were still dialing up. Still just as it was necessary for those who built the framework of what the high speed internet is today compared to the dial up days care was taken not to make peoples computers or other devices obsolete overnight.

As the new changes the 9.x platform are introduced as long as this mindset is maintained I think it prudent to plan and build for the future.

As Vlad and others mentioned features that 'destroy' coins or 'tie them up' in any fashion should be implemented with caution.

I think we all see parallels to the growth of the web from an obscure tool used by universities and scientists to it's place in the world today.  While I think it a good analogy we must also remember that the evolution of 'money' , 'wealth' or whatever you want to call it may not happen exactly the same way as the technology 'boom' that ended the 20th century and began the 21st century and continues now.  

In closing this long rambling comment.....

I tried to explain bitcoin some time ago to an older woman I often see while I commute on the train.  She smiled at me and said 'oh honey, that sounds wonderful but those rich people are never going to let us poor people get rich like they are' .....  As time has gone on I think she may have been right so let's keep that in mind as we build the future.  

As long as 'we' control the network, 'we' can make the rules.  


  

Well, I can only infer, just like anyone else here.  I don't have any insider info.

But if I were CEX.io I would realize that profitable mining is starting to die and soon, the major banks and corporations will start mining with their massive data centers and they'll kill my profit margins until I go out of business.

So then, I need to change my business model to include other services like:  Trading, Escrow, Secure Wallet Storage, etc.

So with the proper funding (and I assume they have tons of Cash) and Financial Tools (which they can easily build) CEX.io can become the Ameritrade+ of Cryptos - a one-stop-shop for everything Cryptos.

But that's not where the REALLY big money is.  The REALLY big money is gonna be in Payment Processors/Payment Services - getting a cut out of every crypto penny spent on the whole planet.

Like Circle, BitPay and Coinbase, trying to become the Visa/MasterCard of Crypto Currencies.  But for this you need ultra secure coins to work with which are also widely distributed, relatively stable and time tested - able to handle any amount of hash power without forking and designed to function well with any bolt-on features [like CounterParty].

Sure you can use Bitcoin but why not add another coin, or a few coins and have a multiple coin wallet for your payment service which gives your customers [and merchants] much needed added flexibility and even more payment options.  This would give you an edge over the likes of BitPay whose only focus is Bitcoin.

This also gives you an edge since you got into iXcoin very early and you have 180,000 customers who also hold significant amounts of iXcoin.  This would add some stickiness when it comes to customer retention, something which will be incredibly valuable and difficult to do once the big Wall Street billionaires open up mining operations and top notch Trading Platforms.

This is my thinking...and I'm simply inferring [some probable scenarios] based on what I would do if I had such a massive mining operation.

because ixcoin to the moon(secure enough to invest in)?  you'll have to spell it out for me.

Nothing is free.


So then...why would the largest mining pool on earth offer their services to our little known coin?

Free merged mining?

Ghash.io (CEX.io) now over 40% [again] of all Bitcoin [Merge] mining power on earth.


And WE, iXcoin, have these guys on our Foundation Board.


Seriously, nobody sees what's going on here?

OH NOOOOOO.

Why did you just do that?

I'm already nuts enough.

Please, don't feed the crazies!  Haha!

Twingham   

I think it's more wild goose chases.  I've been looking for and asking about them for a year now and nobody ever heard of them.

Can someone link To Friction's thread (I searched and can't find it in my archive) where our new logos were made.

I'm just gonna use that thread for the new logo.  That way those guys who made out first logo will see it.

Thanks.


Edit:  I dug through Friction's old posts and found it.  Posted the bounties and also PM'd the 2 guys who won the last bounties.  Offered them 500 IXC (per logo, i and x) instead of the 100 they got last time so I hope that will get them to participate.

That's the least reason to buy iXcoin.  There's plenty of other coins with lower caps already on, or going to mintpal.

I bought iXcoin for a number of other good reasons.

They're riddled throughout most of my threads, if you're interested in reading them.  This thread and the Riddle thread, especially.


Welcome!

I'm not sure about that.  It's very industrial and I think we're looking for something more elegant and sophisticated.  That industrial look works for Ghash.io since they're a mining operation.

It's also very reminiscent of the communist symbol which could turn off many many people.

I have a feeling CEX.io (Ghash.io) is in China so a communist symbol lookalike might get then some brownie points.  Haha, we don't need to be limited by anything.

I'll start a new thread for the 500/500 iXcoin bounty for the new symbol.  I'm guessing we have to do it in the alt currency announcements arena.

AWESOME.  There's our escrow feature.  Now let's copy and paste that Sh1&@.  ; )

why the people might buy ixcoin? I bought because only has 21 milions and maybe mintpal will accept.

other opinion?

I noticed this is the same symbol used by Ghash.io
http://graphemica.com/⚒
https://ghash.io

I would choose that one, just to strenghten the link with Cex.io/Ghash.io. Plus it resembles a X.

Vlad, can we choose it?


iXcoin cap: 21,000,000⚒

Some good options to use for reference, Deadsea.  Thanks for the effort.

We need to start a new thread for the bounty.  I think Friction used the alt currency announcement thread, am I right?

I don't wanna dig through 4 months of his posts.

That's what I've been saying.  

If we're going to ask CEX.io for any favors then let's please do it right and add as may upgrades and updates as possible so we're set until next year.
