Topic: Ixcoin TODO - page 186. (Read 631750 times)

Hmmmm, well, I thank you for the advice.

As for my goals/expectations. Why not aim for the top? I'm not interested in small returns. The power and potential of the crypto-currency data network is too powerful to dream small.

I believe we're just sitting on the shores of a newly discovered continent - full of wondrous potential.

And yes, I own IXcoins.

Hey Thomas,

You said 6 weeks ago you'd add more color to this, wondering if you've had a chance.

Thanks.

Thanks for deciding to post!


And...

Welcome to the F U T U R E!

I have already pay attention to  Ixcoin for some time,good luck with it .

So you're a programmer?  How good are you with C++?

The best way would be to PM frictionless.  He's our main programmer.  Thomas is as well but he is much more difficult to reach.  I'm sure he'll love to get some help coding.

Let me ask, what's your goal or expectation with/from iXcoin?  

Do you currently own any iXcoins?

Thanks for your interest and welcome to the F U T U R E!

Can I do the human thing by being extremely lazy and deferring to the possibly expertise of those that might know better than myself the answer to this question:

What's the best way for someone to get involved in programming for IXC? I know I can find out on my own, but if anyone here with greater insights or experience than I could shoot me a link then I'd be most grateful.

Excellent questions. I've sent out emails to the parties above and I'm awaiting responses.

I'll try to get it all compiled and give you guys a response.  Hopefully Thomas will respond soon, I'd really like to know how much we have left for bounty payouts.  That could really help get this thing moving.

The Ixcoin Foundation...this is just fantastic. Cultivates further legitimacy.

.com or .org small details but I would go with .org if you ask me. And as many others have chimed in, Vlad for a leadership position. cheers...

I think this is only the beginning. As stated many times before, the community is tired of weak scam coins. IXC is aged & secured with a 23 Petahash network. Thats where Ill put my monies...

Yikes, I didn't know it was that complicated.  Man, we've got tons of programmers here but no lawyers.  Ha!

Thanks for voicing your opinion and your support.

I did put everything I could scrape up in IXC and I also tirelessly tried to inform people as much as I could.

People are quickly growing tired of ScamCoins and soon I think many will look for coins which have been around for a long time and have not scammed anyone.

Someone should start CoinHell, it would be jam-packed with ScamCoins.

Come to think of it, that would be a great idea.  Haha!

Edit:  CoinHell .com was taken but I got CryptoHell .com.  lol.

I guess that the best spokesman that can exist is one which has dedicate a large sum of his assets into the coin.

If that isn't walk the walk, I don't know what else can be.


I am a very small IXC holder but Vlad has my vote as well for frontman.

FINALLY:  FEEDBACK!!!

Hahahaaaa.

It's so nice to see people post how they feel about this.  And a new guy too, well, new to posting.

Thanks for speaking up!!!

I didn't expect so many people to support me; I'm very grateful and I will work very hard to be honest with all of you regarding any matters which will affect iXcoin and therefore, you, the stakeholders.  And I'm certain there will come a time when being honest and open for the sake of everyone will not be an easy nor a popular thing for me to do, but I tend to have a rebellion problem in that regard; even though I may not want to speak up I don't think I'll be able to help myself.

Thanks again and let's keep the votes, nominations and opinions coming.  Anyone is eligible for a board seat; you do not need to be rich or college educated.

For me, the most important qualifications for a nominee are a history of integrity and a history, even a shorter one, of being involved in iXcoin, helping out any way you could (in that order).  Cause all the degrees, skills and talent in the world don't make up for a dishonest character and with these cryptos, with so many ScamCoins, a honest dev team and Foundation will truly prove to be a big competitive advantage [in the long run]. 

We can for a fact put any features or innovations from any coin in IXC, which is why I've a always said never buy a coin strictly for the features pitch.

Friction and MarkM are good nominations, I support both of them.  Regarding Mark, he has a solid reputation, he's one of very few people i would trust in the crypto world, and he's also one of the best programmers I've met on here, but Mark seems to be a busy and private individual so I'm not sure he will accept but I hope he does.

Mark, please say yes!  Ha!


As for my theories regarding centralization and the Bitcoin foundation.

It's impossible for any successful crypto to not eventually have some form of structured and formal leadership, which is what a Foundation board is.  That said, if we're not proactive then someone else will accumulate enough coins eventually and gang up on us and form a foundation and we, the true early adopters, the true believers will be left out of any important decisions.

It's a 2 edged sword, this Foundation, but like I said, the behavior and attitude of the Bitcoin foundation which have turned it very centralized - I will fight hard to keep that from happening.

I don't see any better way - cause if we wait around and IXC does become successful, outsiders will form a Foundation and they will not be as flexible, transparent and inclusive as we can be.

If you can truly indeed get counterparty/mastercoin features and colored coins into ixcoin then you have my vote.


But doesn't this contradict your theme from the riddle thread? One of your points for large corporate takeover of ixcoin was the lack of foundation.



Lets put some wheels on this thing.
Nominate Fictionlesscoin, markm

I'm not entirely sure how you could possibly assign other members to the board unless they volunteered for it.

If there were some sort of settlement or negotiation, I could understand it.

As someone who holds some IXcoin but has not interacted with the community as of yet I don't quite see how this board is going to help IXC rise in utility or value to others.

That being said. I do understand that since these currencies (and ultimately any currency) is based on community participation I'd say it's about high time I joined the scene and gave at least some aid. To do otherwise would be inexcusably foolish for I really would have just been throwing my money away.

Count one more member amongst your active IXC participants. I want to make this work as much as anyone.

Vlad for chief Vladimator.

Very Important:  Immediate Formation of the iXcoin Foundation!


Deadsea,

You're absolutely right about forming an iXcoin Foundation, all the top performing coins have them and it serves a good purpose in bringing some structure, stability and better communication to a coin.

I've proposed it in the past but not a single person seemed interested.

I've asked for votes and not a single person submitted any votes.  I have nominated myself along with other people and not even those people ever showed any interest and not even a response.

Since nobody seems to care and most major contributors to iXcoin are here a short while then gone for weeks or months [at a time] without a sign of life and also because I have the largest vested interest - the most at risk in iXcoin:  I hereby announce the immediate formation of the iXcoin Foundation.

And since there is no sign of any other interested, reliable parties I'm also going to assume the position of Chairman of the iXcoin Foundation Board.  

I have never power tripped even though owning 3% of iXcoin would have justified it but you're right, we do need a Foundation and since nobody seems to care, since nobody has ever responded to my requests and nobody seems interested in a board seat, and since those I nominated never responded, I see no issue in Founding this Board right now and appointing myself Chairman.

Like always, I only want what's best for iXcoin.  I'm not gonna get political like the Bitcoin board members and I'm not gonna appoint total strangers to key positions without first informing iXcoin stakeholders (the way Bitcoin/Gavin has) and I will not get in the way of progress for this coin in the name of selfish schemes:  Bullshit Decentralized and Anonymous lies in an attempt to deceive the [Government and Bank hating] masses so they'll flock to my coin.

In other words, I am now Chairman of the iXcoin Foundation but I will be incredibly flexible and I will always act openly and with the best interest of all the stakeholders in mind, instead of just my own personal interests.

And finally, my flexibility will extend to the addition of the rest of the board members.  Whoever the majority votes for - those will take the seats.

I also suggest we do 9 board members - that's the right number to get enough talent, various skills and differing opinions without creating too many foolish arguments.

EVERYONE, please post your suggestions and nominees for the remaining 8 iXcoin Foundation Board seats.

If I still get ZERO interest I'll once again be proactive and appoint the other members myself, which I'd rather not do since this is a community based monetary system.

Please don't hesitate to nominate anyone you choose, including yourselves, but please leave the sock puppets in the closet.  Ha!

And please show your support by expressing your feelings and opinions about what I'm suggesting here and likewise; don't shy away from showing any disagreement, but please keep it as professional as possible.

Thanks to All!


Edit:  I have owned the proper iXcoinFoundation domains for a while now so we won't have any issues there.  Yes, that's the foresight of a Chairman.  Ha.

Edit:  Do you guys prefer iXcoinFoundation.org or .com?  I believe I got both just to be sure.  Please let me know.

I understand Friction's point, but he's wrong in a sense.  Counterparty is worth more than IXC precisely because supposed techies don't have any common sense and they think there's some competitive advantage which Counterparty has in their innovation.

That's cause since my first day here, people, supposed computer literate people, keep regurgitating the same lies about features [along with the same lies about Bitcoin being anonymous and decentralized]. I'm no techie and it took me only 1 month to realize that something which can be easily and legally copied is not an advantage.

This means, Friction, that any price advantage Counterparty has is only temporary and it's nothing more than poor education and lack of understanding by investors, something which cannot last very long.  It's nothing more than a temporary perception glitch, a valuation error.  With time, the misconceptions and errors in valuations go away and those with real competitive advantages rise to the top.

As for investing in this coin, from what I know of the premine, there are still a lot of coins available for bounties.  So maybe you should talk to the person who holds the premine and has specifically set aside a large part of it for bounties.  I worked hard and paid cash for my iXcoins and just because I was wise enough [or fool enough] to have bought more than most doesn't mean I'm gonna pay for every update.

I will do my best, just like last time, to rally support and get people to pitch in.  And depending on how I'm doing financially, I may pitch in something myself, once again, but that shouldn't be expected from any one member, especially one struggling financially.

And especially not when we still have a lot of iXcoins earmarked for bounties.  We shouldn't have to pay a single coin for necessary updates until that bounty money has been exhausted.

Why is Counterparty worth more than IXC today?

There are three ways for a coin to be perceived to have value.

(1) Community Adoption -  DOGE is a good example.
(2) Technology Differentiation -  Namecoin is an example.  

the 3rd is of course security.  Which IXC partially does have.

Good luck trying to figure out how to do (1) or (2) without making any investments.

Do I really have to explain to you the meaning of open source?

Are you really using features and competitive in the same sentence [as they pertain to cryptos]?

What competitive advantages do Colored Coins and Counterparty coins have once we take their goods [FOR FREE] and copy and paste them on top of iXcoin?

Like I said, I'm sick of hearing all the bullshit about features; it's a complete joke given this is all open source and I can take anyone's innovation and use it 100% for free.
