Topic: Ixcoin TODO - page 200. (Read 631736 times)

Hi.

There were issues  with www.ixcoin.co that have resulted in it not being assigned to the new website. I don't control that domain name and therefore cannot move it across. ixcoin.org has not been assigned or discussed as the most recent discussions were that Thomas couldn't get the domain back at this stage.

I've registered www.ixcoin.eu and the domain name has been pointed to the new website. It may take up to 72 hours for this propogation process to complete.

Unrelated to the above, I think the discussions relating to Thomas are questioning his integrity and whilst I don't know him and haven't spoken to him I don't feel these discussions containing accusations or conspiracies are condusive to a healthy and mutually respectful community.

Thomas does not have to do anything and neither does any other member of this forum. A healthy community is one in which there is mutual respect, courtesy, encouragement and support. Whilst generally I believe I've received plenty of moral support, I feel that there has been too much pressure, criticism or expectations on members of the community who have or are actively contributing their time towards clear actions, results and outcomes.

I don't believe members should be judged by their financial contribution to the community.  It is important that members who contribute feedback and suggestions rather than funding understand that members contributing to the community are not being paid by other community members therefore pressure and expectations need to be proportionate, respectful and reasonable.

Regards, Luke.

The new iXcoin client is based on i0coin.  Look at rsnel's comments on the bip16 and bip30 and forking (splits).

I believe the bip's will cause a hard fork.  They change the rules for adding blocks in certain situations.  We shouldn't take it lightly.  It would be very bad if iXcoin splits in two.

I didn't even know there was a hard fork planned.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we deactivate the two bip's then there is no hard fork.  If so then one strategy is to release the new client in two steps.  The first release could deactivate the two bip's with the primary goal of testing the merged mining and getting everyone on the new database.  I think the main resistance to upgrading is uncertanty about merged mining.  So it's safer to make that transition without the fixed upgrade deadline that a hard fork produces.

The second release can activate the two bip's causing the hard fork. 

This strategy has less risk of a catastrophic fork if some miners won't upgrade.  If they are very confident that merged mining is working there should be little or no resistance to the second release.  Better safe than sorry.  Opinions?

I think the majority should go to Friction, at least 20-25K IXC.  He came up with the client update, a new website and a forum, and has been promoting iXcoin for quite some time now.  He even did an iXcoin give away.  Friction pretty much met all the requirements you laid out.  Although I don't really consider the client complete until the merged mining is fully tested and the mining community has fully migrated to the new client.  Let's try to get that done soon before discussing too many future upgrades.

Interesting observation about the voting on tricider.

The voting has been closed and looking at the final numbers it's roughly what we had after the first week.  This tells me a couple things.

1) We have a very small investor group here, Max 20 people.

2) It's a very active group as most voted right away.

This is a good thing because it means very few are actually investors which means our potential target investor market is huge relative to any other crypto coin, cause I'm pretty sure even ShitCoin has ore than 20 active members.

Now let's hope something unexpected happens [very soon] and we get this thing moving cause it seems to have "stalled".

Luke,

Can you please give us an update on your plans for the website?

Can you comment on the .org and .co plans you have and if you're thinking of a different domain name can you tell us what that is and how that would work since that would be a big change in direction from what we all agreed [and voted] on when this whole relaunch started?

The website has been done for nearly 2 weeks now and we finally have Nasakioto and Friction here, together, so it would be nice to get a productive conversation going and get something worked out so we can finally at least launch the website.

Thank you!

You don't appear to be very technologically savvy.  Just curious,  who created the original client?  Who created the merge mined client?

Yes

And please don't compare me to Mark Karpeles. I might be flaky, but I haven't stolen anyone's money.

I've been distracted lately with the Mtgox debacle. But I'm trying to get the website back up. I'd like to keep a separate domain for the .org with a placeholder page with prominent links to ixcoin.co . I'm getting nowhere with basicnetworks.net so I've just registered with someone else. Waiting for them to invoice me in bitcoin.

I preferred Thomas as it is more recognized as a first name.

There's a bunch of reasons and compromises why I choose Ixcoin. I'll write it up sometime.

I gave Gavin a 5K IXC, along with other prominent Bitcoin community members at the time of Ixcoin launch. I think he sold them, but he did accept them.

Okay, so you aren't him. 

Do you mind revealing your alter-ego?

Alright,  would 25K be more reasonable?

I need to read up about it. 50K is pricey. Not sure we can get that many funds together.

Still haven't compiled your new client. Will try to do it this week.

Some are saying part of it should go to Luke for his efforts on the website. Please let me know your thoughts.

I don't get it.  Gavin made a comment but why is that a big deal. 

Why did that poster open an account just to tell us that? 

Very interesting indeed.   

I would like to show you something that I found interesting https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54977.5;wap2
