I would definitely ditch those American IXC slogans.  You want to appeal to the world, and that is totally the wrong way to do it.

Good observation.

Well, it doesn't hurt to have them stateside.

But I agree I wouldn't put them on the main website.  Like all global brands, the images and commercials are tweaked to better appeal to that particular demographics.

With the internet we don't have the liberty of being able to tweak messages for local demographics.

Might this be different for Cryptos? Life of most brands; domestic -> international -> global. Bitcoin(and most other cryptos) were global the day they launched. On top of that we want to be more like Dollar than PayPal. 

Excellent point.  I'll delete the patriotic designs.

I studied branding & communication and besides the security aspect of cryptos, this is the most interesting thing. Going the complete opposite way, global -> domestic. It is so easy to communicate the wrong message and at the same time being oblivious to it when you are the stranger.

There may be a lot of coins in cex.io but you can bet, that when we go big, that they'll come running.

I give you my theory. The main pool is ghash.io.

According to this statement:

https://support.cex.io/entries/40043388-Phone-verification-and-2FA

They have over 100,000 cex.io users. Let's suppose each of them, on average, have something like 90 IXC in his online wallet, worth on average less then 10 $, it means:

100,000 * 90 = 9,000,000

If we add other 10 big holders having between 420,000 (2%) and 840,000 (4%) = 6,000,000

Plus an other 200 "small" holders having between 10,500 (0,05%) and 63,000 (0,3%) = 3,000,000

It means 50% of the coins have been simply forgotten by the holders, now progressively collected by cex.io in exchange of gh/s. An other 40% is in the hands of holders, big and small. The remaining 10% is what you see on the exchanges.

Conclusion: without cex.io's unaware holders, at least 50% of the coins are like lost, or unused.


That's a solid theory and it explains why there's never any big sellers.

So the CEX wallets, those belong to the individuals, right?  Are all 100,000 accounts merge mining?

What about bitparking, they merge mined for a long time.

This is what I was trying to say. It would appear that iXcoin has well over 100,000 shareholders, holding more than half of the total coin supply.

This is a best case scenario which brings long term stability to a coin.

And this is the kind of distribution which has a massive synergistic effect in lifting up the colonists or colonies.

Over 100,000 holders versus a few thousand for BTC.  iXcoin keeps getting better and better the more you look at it.  There really is no coin with these stats out there.  

This distribution advantage should be somewhere on the website cause it's yet one more thing no other coin can match.

don't forget bitparking, we may be small but we ROCK.

TK808,

Interesting point.  Very possible.

Is there anyway to find out the total amount of iXcoins out there?  Cause deleted coins probably won't show up so then we may be able to figure out how much has been lost.

It would also be nice to see how many large holders we have.

On ebay uk you can buy several virtual coins but ixcoin. You know, it's seems silly because we are talking of something not physically existing, but the one I have the instinct to buy is the one with a nice 3D elaborate image.

We need it: a final (gold and silver??) 3D image of ixcoin. After all: is it not the twin brother of the golden one?

Is anybody here skilled enough to make a 3D image? LukeConnell team?

You're right.  People are used to buying something they can see.  Even if it's virtual, a beautiful and realistic image can really help.

And I too think it's odd you can buy totally worthless coins on eBay but not 1 single iXcoin.  Very odd given there's 18 million coins out there....somewhere.


maybe 50% of all IX have been lost

50%?

Is that even possible?  BTC has been around longer and I doubt they've lost more than 10%.

How could 50% be lost, what makes you come up with that number and how can we find out?

TIA

That number was a joke, but i think the amount of IX lost would be higher then BTC. Due to it never being famous, people may have just disregarded their IX all together because of the bitcoins booms and IX's lack of.

You never know though, just a thought.

it would be wise for ixcoin developers to apply these patches in a build:

* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3651
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3654

this will protect ixcoin users from problems if the transaction malleability griefers turn their attention to altcoins.

Smart move, brother.  Let's make iXcoin the smarter Twin brother.  lol.

Man, Luke, the more I look at that new website the more I love it, and I'm hard to impress. Really genius and truly all-pro.

I love the use of Twin and how you slowly superimpose the white IXC logo over Bitcoin.  BEAUTIFUL!

This thing is ready to launch:  a ROCKET launch!

Thanks Friction, Luke and team!
