Topic: Ixcoin TODO - page 267. (Read 631753 times)

www.ixcoin.co download section has

(1) The source code to the 0.8.6 client
(2) Binaries for Mac OS X

We are testing it and so far it looks good.  No issues at this time.

Yes, the development team has a lot to update.  That is why we can't be burning our time with marketing.  I am glad Dexter44 has stepped up to this challenge.

Yes... watching the IXC charts are a waste of time... move the coin into cold storage and come back a year from now.  Historically for 2 1/2 years, IXC has remained relatively constant versus BTC (look at the statistics page at www.ixcoin.co ).  What that means is,  as BTC gains versus USD, IXC gains versus the USD.

Darn, I guess it really pays to have a few dozen sockpuppets per person eh.

Sweet! And thanks for the heads up...

IXC on the list! Click and submit your vote now! Thank you!

I really need to set more time aside to keep up with the forums opposed to staring at the IXC & BTC markets/orderbooks. Even more so after seeing iXcoin not listed on the Coin payment thread with one of the response saying "Is there even an iXcoin community"...as ludicrous statement.

With that said, I apologize if this is easy to be had information but is there a link that someone could direct me to regarding the information of the development of the IxCoin client update. Ive read over a number of our threads multiple times but cant remember the status of this and other pertaining information.

Could you post on the ixc.boards.net  individual tasks so that we can set up a bounty for each.


Thanks.

lol, you beat me to it.  

Too bad Vlad ain't here, he would drive those guys nuts until they added iXcoin just to get rid of him.  lol...

I posted to that thread as well requesting ixCoin be added.

Can all the ixCoiners who read this take literally 30 seconds out to post on that thread asking for ixCoin to be added.

Thanks!

I just sent an email as well to coinpayments to please add iXcoin as it's the third most secure crypto-coin in the world.  That right there alone is a good enough reason.  Like Vlad was saying, educated, clever Wallstreet Bankers will see what should have been obvious to all the supposed techies out here.  The bankers are gonna come in, clean up and change this entire game since everyone here has been so clueless.  

DO IT NOW PLEASE


Here it is. The link for a vote. Even I0C is included. Not IXC, of course.

Community, if you esist (doubts in my mind about your existence) send your vote asap, even if IXC doesn't exist in the list.

Rome was not built in a day.

Have you looked at coinmarketcap.com?

iXcoin is holding up very well in this down turn.  One of the few coins that's positive on the day.

That's because iXcoin is just bouncing at the bottom, with really just a few people who are aware of it.   Yet,  despite this,  it is still #25 in the list.  If IXC doubles from 13 cents to 26 cents, it hits #16.  

Anyway,  give it time.   Many of the coins ahead of IXC in the list are just there because they are new and have a ridiculous # of coins printed... give those coin 2 1/2 year and the'll trend to zero.  

Look at the coins ahead of iXcoin in cap:

#2 Ripples  99,999,998,202 XRP*
#7 Nxt 999,997,986 NXT*
#10 WDC 39,004,513 WDC
#11 Quark 247,101,745 QRK
#13 FTC 28,989,100 FTC
#15 Infinite 89,507,643,917 IFC
#16 DOGE 22,912,826,283 DOGE
#18 Zeta 159,505,875 ZET
#21 Netcoin 196,577,530 NET
#22 Tickets 66,876,281,414
#27 Earth 639,986,572 EAC

A majority of these coins aren't less than 6 months old.   What price will these coins be 2 1/2 years from now?  Some of these coins print like 1 million coins per block.  These are mostly pump and dump coins that the unsuspecting consumer thinks it is cheap beacuse of the price.  

iXcon is genuinely cheap.... most of these coins are pumps.

I don't worry about the new flood of altcoins, simply because none of them really has any real differentiator from the others.   iXcoin is unique because it is #3 in hash rate.

I contacted coinpayments.net asking to add IXC

The answer says a lot of how much this coin has been left uncared.

Coinpayments.net answered:


"Hello Dexter,

Because nobody requested it, at least until now
The coin request list is 100% coins people requested.

-CoinPayments"


From now if IXC is almost unused, unknown or not even considered, the person you should blame, probably, is the one you see every day in the mirror.

Having your cooperation, it could be nice to be included here:

IO = Input Output, On Off, 1 0,

You folks want to sponsor another coin when many here do not even bother to send an email to btc38.com. Out of curiosity, how many of us has sent an email or/and subscribed to btc38.com and QQ, asking to add ixcoin to the largest altcoin market in china?
30?
20?
10?
5?
Please post here just to know how many did it.
Thankx

Digits might not actually be allowed in the three character standard for currency codes.

Also in pronouncing it I do anyway tend to say eye ohh rather than eye zero or eye nought.

So mostly it makes me think of the moon name Io, which in turn leads me to think of

https://www.google.com/search?q=Clarke+"all+these+worlds"

Of course one could also think of it as "I owe" and try to thereby relate it to debt payments or somesuch.

A final bit of trivia.

Among the 3 major merged mined coins, Namecoin, Devcoin and iXcoin,  iXcoin has the first and only fully working version of the Bitcoin 0.8.6 client.

Namecoin has not performed the port and is still back at 0.3.7
Devcoin, some folks have performed the port but are having issues with some calculations.

So in terms of the innovation race,  iXcoin is in a *very* good position.

We have a cooperative relationship right now with I0Coin, in fact I've sent their lead developer some of the bounties for his contributions toward the IXcoin 0.8.6 client.

Three things

(1)  IXcoin has a much higher hash rate that I0coin, IXcoin is right behind Namecoin in hashrate.
(2)  I really don't know what I0coin means.  It needs a rebranding.  At least I can say "iExchangeCoin" or "International eXchange Coin".         
(3)  I0coin in market cap is really languishing with the rest of the riff-raff coins.  IXcoin is constantly just right at the edge and a little push will take it into serious territory.

The merged mined coins have always been under a bit of a cloud because of a pervasive belief that a coin loses almost all of its value by being merged mined.

That is why so many SHA256 coins cannot be merged mined, although it would not surprise me if they later add merged mining once they have mined a majority of the coins so they have overwhelmingly strong positions before all the miners who merge get aboard.

Merged mined coins have thus been somewhat of a "dark horse", nice "under the radar" opportunities; if IXCoin takes off nicely we should expect others of the merged mined coins to follow. They are a family, between them all they have explored/tested the merged mining concept. Although we still do not know where the practical limit is of how many coins one could merge at once reasonably.

The RAM-hogging problem that GeistGeld and I0Coin discovered on behalf of all the merged mined coins possibly led some to believe we had already hit the limit of how many coins one could practically merge at once. But with the fully fixed I0Coin and the "dirty fix" of GeistGeld we can already see that actually merging all eight coins seems to work fine. The RAM problems had been obscuring just how well this actually works.

Someone actually suggested recently that creating a bunch of new crapcoins and adding merged mining to them would be better than supporting the existing merged mined coins; I think that would be kind of sad, partly because that seems to me just more of the "throw-away culture", the "slash and burn", whereby fast-buck get rich quick spammers keep spamming new crap they have no intention of supporting, maybe even deliberately trying to draw support away from what was already created, instead of actually settling down to the serious work of supporting what we already have.

I have always instead advocated supporting what we already have; we do not seem to have enough developers and support staff to even just keep up with the maintenance  of and infrastructure around the original coins, so continuing to spam out more seems counter-productive... it just spews out more and more work for those who do the real work of keeping things going, keeping up with latest code and fixes and so on, building infrastructure... The get rich quick crowd are damaging all that already exists and creating un-tenable workloads for the community.

Sure we are behind on keeping all the merged mined coins up to date. We won't get any less behind by piling on even more coins. Lets take care of what we have before trying to increase our workload even more.

The vast majority of the people spewing out new coins have shown no inclination to actually do any of the real work of keeping things running and keeping things repaired and keeping everything up to date with all the latest fixes and so on. To me that casts a big shadow over all their crap about new coins being needed. It is bullshit, they are just slashing and burning.

I'm not sure why, maybe it's the i zero in the name but i0 coin is a dud, a total turn off for me and this was the case from the first day I saw it's name.  Look around, a coin's name goes a long long way.  I for one rather spend triple on a coin I like and it's pretty obvious nobody is going for this i0Coin is just as good story.  But if you've got the money it doesn't hurt to diversify I guess but I'm liking the ixCoin story (Vlad's version) and the current developments (FrictionMan).
