Topic: Ixcoin TODO - page 181. (Read 631750 times)

Folks, please send requests to CryptoCzar to have IXC included.    Let us try to maintain at most 3 major exchanges for IXC.   Having more will dilute the liquidity.

Vircurex should be dumped due to what they have caused in harm to the crypto community.

The decentralized exchanges are nice but they will lack liquidity.  Furthermore, the execution speed will not be one that a trade would desire.

I vote that IXC focus on getting on cryptoczar.

If vircurex is a negative to ix then drop it like its hot! but if its needed to add liquidity then maybe we need a few more exchanges.

It might not matter anyway as decentralized exchanges should be coming online soon. (Hopefuly)


Hang in there Vlad, i feel your frustration,, i still think there is alot of good medicine in your analysis of the bitcoin/altcoin world.

I believe the saying is hurry up and wait.

Yes, the site looks interesting.

"CryptoCzar is a U.S. based Cryptocurrency Exchange facilitating high frequency exchange of different types of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Litecoin and other variants. CryptoCzar is operated by Altcoin Tech, Inc. a company which has its roots in Technology and Finance. Altcoin Tech, Inc has showcased its seriousness on the future of cryptocurrencies by fully complying with the regulatory requirements for an online exchange as stipulated by FinCEN. The company is well poised to shape the landscape of cryptocurrencies and their subsequent adoption into the lives of people. We wish to humbly participate in this historic movement, acting both as facilitator and harbinger of change to come."

Anyway, delist ixcoin from Vircurex is a big step. I remind you there was a period where Vircurex was the only exchange keeping ixcoin trading alive. I agree the price is constantly dropped on Cryptsy due to the lower value on Vircurex. So, community, what do you think?

Thanks for setting this up.  

I talked to the owner of the exchange cryptoczar.com.  They are FinCen compliant and are in NYC.

I think we should pursue trying to get IXC into cryptoczar.com.  The platform is designed to make market making much easier.   One of the biggest issues with IXC is the lack of liquidity.   cryptoczar will reward large IXC holders that provide better liquidity of the coin.

I think if large IXC holder just want to hoard the coin, they therefore should allow some level of liqudity to the trading and be rewarded for it.

I think as a first step is to request Vircurex to de-list IXC from their exchange.   That will first consolidate IXC trading in Cryptsy and lead to a more transparent market.  The Vircurex market is a complete farce in that it is more of a bait and swithch,  enticing folks to put in their BTC only to get it confiscated.   I will send a request to Vircurex to de-list IXC.

I agree with FrictionlessCoin, which is the one who convinced me to buy a few iXcoins a few months ago.  

Well, let's rewind a little bit. Let's start from the last roadmap offered by Luke.

(  http://www.reddit.com/r/ixcoin/comments/1w5xk4/reshaping_and_rebranding_the_ixcoin/  )

I put it as google drive document: you can modify it as you want. Please add or delete ideas, change the order, put dates, proposals, etc...

Let's considers it a white paper. I am curious to know if there is something this community can agree on.

iXcoin is actually doing quite well relative to other coins that have come and gone.

It has a marketcap of 1,306,212, which is much 500,000 more than DEV Coin.

Other more well known coins like TRC (traded in BTC-E),   DigitalCoin have fallen off the map.

IXC is soon to catch up with WorldCoin, MegaCoin and even NovaCoin (NVC).

So folks that keep claiming that this coin is dead should take a look at its performance relative all these other junk coins.

If we can raise enough bounty, we can pursue more advanced features.

Also note:  i0coin... only traded in insolvent Vircurex... has completely fallen off the map.

 it can't be any worse than these other me-too coins. haha

Here is an example of the kind of promotion of a coin (ZenithCoin) that I had helped to create:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16MhYDfgr3E

Why can't we get this kind of effort for IXC?

We can't because people who own IXC are just in it to hoard the coin and not to contribute to invest in it.

IXC is a good coin with good technical fundamentals,  I have those details documented here:  http://www.ixcoin.co/?page_id=80

However, we have stingy investors.

Blake coin isn't even a SHA256 coin, so how is it going to be merged mined?

Never heard of photon.

IMHO, this is some B.S. to get you folks to invest in blakecoin or photon.

@belinWall,

You sure you wanna troll me from your usual POTCoin stomping grounds?

Newbies like you are always a sign of an angry sock puppet.

Now, why did you need to stutter in your last post?

And I'm pitching in a little bounty reward for some nice work someone did and that's a bagholder?

See, angry trolls never make sense.

And I'm up on IXC, not a bagholder.  Down bigtime from Nov but overall I'm still up.


Troll again!

It seems there is a big bag holder.

Cinnamon,

There's been talk about 2 different updates.

One would be just the latest Bitcoin code.

But more importantly we've talking about doing a code update to include counter party and I believe also colored coins.

And we were hoping to be able to get it all done [and have the most advanced coin on the planet] as part of the next Bitcoin code update but we have a budget issue since Thomas doesn't check in but once every few months so we don't know how much bounty money is left.

If someone else wants to confirm this, it would be good.

edit,  who is offering the bounty and what do you want done..... for a nice bounty i may free up some time....

this thread is so long,  i read back , is it porting this to the bitcoin 9.x platform you want ?





no real hard work, happy to contribute, since I was studying the source code to this and iO to learn more about merged mining ..... alas.... i learned some things however BlueDragon747 (the blake coin developer) is way ahead and we will probably have merged mining of photon and blake coin out in a few days,   a little off topic here ,

do you know if this pool is still active ??

http://mmpool.org/faq

they claim bitcoin, namecoin, devcoin, iO, and iX and all 5 at the same time !!!

hell I would like a pool that just went after namecoin, devcoin, iO and IX but i don't think it possible since btc is the parent chain......

that pool looks like it has not hit a block in a real long time.....

Cinnamon_Carter,


Thanks a lot for those skillful updates.

I will pitch in some IXC coins for your hard work. 

Thanks so much!

I Just noticed you're a newbie, err, new iXcoin investor.  It's becoming a trend.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Welcome to the  F U T U....


AH, you know my spiel.


[Feeling too depressed [from too many fights on too many fronts] to give you my usual and honestly enthusiastic, heartfelt, "gonna take over the world" speech.]

Don't give any coins to anybody until we get something set in stone.

The last update took literally 5 months and lots of people had problems with the new client.  Given we paid good money for that update, that shouldn't have taken more than a few weeks and it should have ran perfectly fine.

So let's first make it clear as to what exact updates will be done and how long it will take for the work to be completed with the bounty being paid in either 3 stages or after the job has been successfully completed.

 OK, during research for my coin Photon to merge mine it with Blake Coin of course I have been looking at how iX is mergemined and I also respect iX since it has paid it's dues and been around a long time. Anyway this is one of the only coin clients I could not get to compile for myself.  I really like to build my own wallets so as a service to anyone who wants it I decided to make some revisions to the source code so it will compile, minor changes mostly.  The wallet works fine for me sending coins and all other tests as far as I know I only deleted some old unnecessary items and I added a checkpoint.  Also the win qt is now built with openssl 1.0.1g

 

If you like this send me a few iX I don't have that many !! Enjoy

note i did not change the make files for unix or mingw ect..... you can easily do these if you want .....

 

 
 

 
 

 

I like the merged mining.  I'll add 10,000 IXC to the bounty for the Ixcoin client upgrade.

I too always considered friction as one of the devs for IXC but keep mind Friction is not truly a dev either, he is in a way nothing more than a hired gun.

A real coin dev puts in his time and efforts for free in hopes the payoff will be down the road.

I can't program but I put in a lot of time, raised funds and pitched in money and I did it all for exactly that reason:  In the hopes there would be a reward down the line.

Friction has said many times that there will be no code updates unless we can pay him and if you look at what he's asking for, we can easily hire a programmer for that or maybe even less.  Sorry, but a hired programmer is not a real dev in my mind.

That said, I'm grateful to have Friction on board, I still love the ideas he used to have for IXC, but for some reason they disappeared as quickly as Thomas (all at once, like someone flipped a switch in his brain), and it's good to have an in-house programmer who knows our goals, but unfortunately, Friction will not be of any help unless we can come up with the necessary funds and that could take a while.

That said:  For now we're fine, the wallet and source code have been updated and I am in active talks with one of the biggest mining pools in the world to continue mining iXcoin AFTER the coins run out in September.

That puts us in an excellent strategic position and in no urgent need of a programmer, "a dev" or a non-existent founder.

I suggest that any person who wants to be considered a dev to put their money where their mouth is; buy some IXC, it's still one of the cheapest coins out there and then pitch in with whatever work you can do and don't expect a salary - that's not how broke, open source projects work.  If you truly believe in this coin then invest, pitch in and your reward will come in due time.

We simply cannot pay everyone who helps out and if you're getting paid then you're an employee not a dev (collecting bounties is an exception as those are posted for anyone and everyone).  I admire the fact Luke pitched in quite a bit and he did it to help and cause he believes in iXcoin's potential.

In my mind, that's what a dev is in this new crypto industry.
