Where do you think this is all going?

He's not mental, you're naivé.  What do you think will happen when all of our wealth and assets are in the blockchain?  You think people will really walk around with their entire net worth on their cellphones?

Let's get real.

And of course we're gonna lose our entire privacy and much more than that.

Isn't it obvious yet to everyone that Bitcoin was designed from the ground up to be a global asset tracker?  It's only a matter of time before some "terrorist" buys some horse shit using a private key and blows up some hot dog stand in New York and that's the end of private wallets.  There would be an imminent executive order to attach your ID, social security number and maybe even your DNA to your PERMANENT wallet ID.

And not long after that you would get the mass chipping protocol go into full effect.  If you think it's crazy, the FDA has already approved VeriChip for human implants.

I wrote about this last year when I predicted this was the end game; to chip the sheep.  So let's get it over with already, I'm tired of waiting for these slow-poke elites.  lol.

I've got someone asking for some nodes.  Can somebody list some if you've got them? 

Thanks.

I said last year digital money could not exist without chipping people.  When I was called insane I told people that they would beg for it.  People will ask for fingerprint readers when just a few years ago they were shunned and soon afterwards many will want to get chipped to keep their wealth from being stolen along with their cellphones and laptops.

I totally agree.  Even Gox, it stinks of inside manipulation, theft or at least cooperation.

Many of these cases that you mention... MtGox, FlexCoin and Silk Road 2 were likely an inside job. 

I feel the same way, brother, it just gets hard to keep my convictions when nothing is happening.  I still believe what I've been shouting for the past near 10 months but it gets difficult at times.

Thanks for the good word.


Edit:  What or who is MSM?  Thanks.

After further thought and analysis I do NOT think Bitcoin will hit $10,000 this year.  It should peak out at a maximum price of $2,500 to $4000.

The biggest reason is a simple value proposition.  As it [Bitcoin] gets more and more expensive more and more people, and even smart money, will start looking for another coin, with the hopes they will find the next Bitcoin.  This will give rise to several expensive coins [over $1 billion market cap] and quite a few with over a $100 million market cap.

This behavior will completely change the CryptoCoin landscape by the end of 2014.  Bitcoin will start looking old, slow and played out [in just 9 months] by the end of 2014 [if you can imagine that impossibility compared to what's happening today].

And expect the media to really get behind and pump some of these new currencies as they'll have a vested interest via hedge funds, banks and [Various Western] governments.

And for reasons I've stated before, iXcoin should be at the top of this list and most likely in second place, next to Bitcoin and well ahead of Litecoin.

patience Vlad, patience...
All the time MSM is busy telling me of bitcoins supposed 'flaws', it feel to me increasingly plausible that IXC is THE coin they'll adopt for some nefarious plans.

I clicked this thread by mistake thinking it was iCoin, btw IXCOIN looked really bad botting the the coinpayment votes. You guys had the most but when they coinpayment admins checked the final
results you didn't even make it on. This didn't do any favours for this coin.

I disagree, people will get tired of the scamcoins and start looking at more solid long term coins again. Right now I hold BTC, LTC and iCoin , also thinking about NobleCoin. When the dust settles the coins that actually have value will rise up. Don't forget the big money still hasn't entered the market and I doubt your major investors will look at flappycoin or dogecoin if they are serious.

I agree.  In 6 months we'll have over 1,000 CrapCoins on the exchanges.  Major dilution and major hype.  Older coins will be in trouble if nothing is done sooner.

This is all starting to really depress me.  Like really depress me.


And I was so certain...

There's just too much work that has to be done by a small group of people. Like there was said before, if there where funds things could be speeding up.

As for now there are just too many new coins around the corner waiting to be jumped, IXC isn't one of them anymore.

This is actually a huge plus. If true, it means ixcoin is more decentralized than Bitcoin or Litecoin and many other coins. I hold 180 ixcoins only, but I wouldn't call the coin dead just yet. Bitcoin will go back up, if you guys keep on working and believing, ixcoin will be just fine. A new and polished client would help greatly. Good luck!

The characteristic of iXcoin is that there are no big holders.... just thousands of little holders.

Someone just gave me a tip of 83 IXC.... thanks!  Needed some gas money.

I downloaded the iXcoin v0.8.6.0-g1cda98a windows client.  I assume it's still in the test phase so here's some feedback.  My testing was on Windows 7.

What Works:
1.  Sending ixcoins
2.  Receiving ixcoins
3.  Downloading blockchain from scratch
4.  Reindexing blockchain created with version 0.3.24.30 client, which auto upgrades to version v0.8.6.0 database.
5.  Had 15 connections using addnode list on ixcoin.co website.  getpeerinfo shows 14 peers running version "32430" client, and one with "0.8.6".  Without addnodes I get 5 connections.  
6.  No major errors in debug.log.
7.  Setting gen=1 in config file appears to solo mine ok.  
   getmininginfo shows "hashespersec" = 6650241, and other info displays correctly.  Plus all cores on my PC went to
        100% usage.
   {
   "blocks" : 191019,
   "currentblocksize" : 1258,
   "currentblocktx" : 1,
   "difficulty" : 1844620759.83590007,
   "errors" : "",
   "generate" : true,
   "genproclimit" : -1,
   "hashespersec" : 6650241,
   "pooledtx" : 1,
   "testnet" : false
   }
-----------------------------

Not tested:
1.  Merged mining
2.  Pool mining

-----------------------------

Recommended fixes:
1.  Desktop icon is for i0coin.  It needs to be changed to iXcoin icon.
2.  On the main client screen lower right, mousing over 'network connection' displays
       "x active connection(s) to Bitcoin network"
           but should say
       "x active connection(s) to iXcoin network"
3.  Startup splash screen looks great but it's from i0coin with iXcoin edited in.  We should probably change this to use new ixcoin logo, but it isn't critical.

I agree with everyone here, the slow progress is very depressing.

But like Friction said, it's gonna take deep pockets and even though I think iXcoin is ideal for a huge launch against Bitcoin, it's impossible to guess when these deep pockets will eventually show up.


If they're already here; a sign of life would be very much appreciated.

Well I sold the entire currency to somebody else,  so you'll hear announcements from elsewhere.

Hopefully the new owner comes up with a spin very similar to AuroraCoin.

How much can I earn with Zenithcoin? Ixc is taken century to go up

Here's the sad reality, unless you got someone who has deep pockets and willing to invest in the coin,  it is going to languish.

I've spent enough time on this coin already upgrading the client and the website.   

By complete contrast, one of the coins I created 'ZenithCoin', I sold to an investor.  I likely earned more from that deal than fundraising I did with IXC.   Furthermore,  the new owner is willing to attend and even sponsor the 'Texas Bitcoin Conference'  see:  http://texasbitcoinconference.com/sponsors   

He even plans on making a big splash over there with 'dancing girls and t-shirts'.   Meanwhile over here,  IXC coin holders are a bunch of stingy stake holders.

Anyway,  IXC has its promises,  but its like pushing a string.   

So if I'm not busy with IXC,  I got other projects that I have to attend to.
