One of your crazy videos might become a viral internet meme!

Just for fun:

We'll build a better one.

Anyway, the one that actually updates is here:  http://darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/IXCoin

The best I found is this (not updated)

Nothing better?

Thankx

Nice, thanks, I shared it on Facebook.

iXcoin is already in a sweet spot being one of the more mature coins and having #3 hash rate among all coins.  It has languished because of the appearance of being neglected.  But we are fixing that, and going to leap forward by focusing on features that mastercoin can only dream on implementing.

So when you look at the current market cap of coins like Mastercoin, NXT and Protoshares.  All claim some advanced features.   iXcoin willl have similar competitive features.

What I would like to see is that iXcoin will be the #1 option for folks to create alternate financial instruments.   Mastercoin and NXT are fundamentally insecure.  Protoshares are just wild ideas that have no real implementation.

At least Bitcoin and Ixcoin have something in common: stingy developers 😄 , maybe that is the reason the devs kept an hidden identity 😄 and got lost.

The original dev surfaced around June this year, but disappeared again.  No bounty was paid.  He may have cashed out.  Besides,  if you look at the long term chart for IXC,  if you cashed out early, you would have made the most BTC.  So in short,  anyone who held ford the past 2 years isn't really making a lot of coin relative to BTC.


You buy and sell so that the spread is smaller between bid and asks.


I assure you I am not the original developer.   In fact, you can check the domain registrations for www.ixcoin.org (the original one) and mine www.ixcoin.co (which I registered just recently when the original one went down).


Besides, the original developer Thomas for some strange reason, did not have the skills to update the code. 

I'm a bit more skilled than that dude.   Anyway,  the coin is extremely promising,  imagine... it has almost 4 peta hash rate!!   

My main issue is the apathy of the holders.   If I had the cash, I would buy out all asks up to 0.0004 BTC.   I doubt there are any big holders, and this is the main reason for the apathy.  If these early adopters have no more skin in the game, then that's why they are all silent.

The premine was more like 540,000 not the 400,000 you're quoting and that idiot dev didn't even give away 100,000 coins.

I only have 50,000 ixCoins and I risked real cash buying it so I'm not gonna give it out while the dev sits on 10 times more coins which he got for free.  If I had mined the coins I would feel differently but I paid hard earned cash for it and I don't have that much.

So how do you market make for ixCoin?  Maybe I can at least help with that since I have some ixCoins. 

And I have a hard time believing Frictionless is so gung ho over a few thousand coins he said he had a few weeks ago.  Frankly, I'm a bit suspicious and I feel like he may actually be the dev, Thomas.  How sick and twisted would that be if this guy had an entire premine while asking for us folks who had to buy our coins to pay for his bounties. 

It's just very odd that there's no sign of life from the dev given ixCoin is up 20 fold and the dev now has a real coin with a real future to come back to.  But it also doesn't make sense for the dev to come back to a coin which has shot up having to pay a ton of bounties for so why not use a different ID, have zero debts to pay for and in the process take control of the coin just the same while getting other idiots to pay for the bounties you collected with the premine.

I'm glad for the work being done on this coin but I'm a long term investor and something here just doesn't add up.  Thanks for your work frictionless, I hope your investment will pay off and if I had enough coins I too would pitch in but as it is I don't and I am fairly suspicious of you.  I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this coin and good luck to you.

Yes, Vircurex needs to fix their withdrawal fee.  Send them an email,  I did too when it was 10,  now it is 8.  Hmmm... really odd that is it at 8,  I wonder.....

Well, then you can certainly start selling IXC on eBay at a premium.  Easy way to make money.

Well, thanks for market making!   

I haven't seen one drop of that 400,000 premine. 

If I had the capital, I would buy out everything up to .0004 BTC.

Isn't I0Coin much the same?

Both are only lately starting to reach an interesting stage, IXCoin with its cold turkey end of block subsidy looming and I0Coin down to only three coins per block of subsidy.

As to the trading, I have started trying to "market make" for both of them on Vircurex but I just do not have enough discretionary capital to keep the order-books full yet.

Give it time, I guess.

As to bounties etc, that is what the 400,000 pre-mine is for.

I am pretty sure no-where near that much has been given out in bounties yet.

It is quite difficult to mine so even in years of merged-mining it trying to come up with 400,000 coins would take quite a few more years I think.

I have no idea why these iXcoin holders are so stupid,  just no idea at all.   I've been doing all that I can to prop up the coin,  meanwhile everyone (founder included) seems to be out on some vacation.

Why am I working on iXcoin?  Because the potential is huge.  It has #3 in hash-rate,  80% of all coins, have already been mined, it is dirt cheap, what is not to like?   Well, the only thing I dislike are the idiots who hold this coin and do nothing.  

To be honest, Namecoin is in a much better position, more exchanges trade it, more volume,  #2 in hash rate however it is not that cheap ($4.5).  

However, one thing to remember,  crypto-currencies are going international,  so I don't worry too much about accepted in shops.  What is key is that it is accepted in exchanges.

The only thing I can think of about the apathy of the coin holders is that, nobody owns a lot of coins!   Folks may have sold out years ago prior to the merge mine.  Once the merge mine happened the coins were re-distributed among many bitcoin miners.   So everyone appears to keep silent because everyone is hoping to accumulate, but are realizing they can't at these levels.   That's the other explanation I have.

This is exactly what is holding me back from purchasing Ixcoin. Here there are people probably owning 2, 3, 4 % or more of this coin. They prefer this coin dead then to give something away to support development. The full maturity is so close (18 months?) and the coin is still barely known, not yet accepted by any shop, traded on two platforms only. Yesterday I have seen someone on Vircurex selling 230.000 iXcoin for just 0.000183 BTC each. People do not believe in this coin yet.

Freecoinless, I do not understand what makes you so determined about this Ixcoin. Is there any piece of info you are withdrawing from us?

Next stuff coming up is a SPV based client (no need to download entire block chain)  + chromawallet.

So the new 'angle' will be similar to mastercoin and we'll be targeting also international markets at the same time.

Please also donate to the fundraising. 

We got a press release coming out in January.   Expect a lot of upside.

great to see the discussion of IXCoin continue. this coin has really caught my attention. I stop dumping my IXCoin merge mining revenue & started holding it. Actually starting buying it daily and looking forward to further discussion on it.

It is just surprising how everyone here is such a miser.   iXcoin has gone up like 300%, meanwhile you folks do absolutely nothing... no promotion , no funding... nada!!   I got funding from... let's see.... 2 people... total!   That's after I built up the new site and ported the new client.   I mean iXcoin holders don't even have the balls to trade on a daily basis.  Further, they run idiotic trades, like crashing the market when it hit .0004 BTC.


Folks it serves nobody with stealth marketing and stealth trading.   If you want to get rich, accumulate on the way up and stop trying to push the price down!  


Meanwhile, where in the world is that Vlad character?  My guess, he's one of the idiot traders pushing the price down so he can get more!    What a jerk... a real jerk.  Notice, he goes silent when we make a major push!

This coin without a doubt needs market makers.   

The best I can do is work on the technical aspects and marketing of the coin.  But folks, you need to make a market!!

If you don't, then IXC will just be a proxy to BTC (which historically it has, and honestly isn't that bad a deal! ).

Vlad was saying the same thing months ago.  That he was trying really hard to find ixCoins for sale and it was nearly impossible to accumulate in large numbers and that's why he dumped like 5 Bitcoins at the ask one day (as an experiment) to see if there were any sellers and there were very few, which proved his theory that someone was holding lots of ixCoins and refused to sell at an even 5 fold increase which was a massive gain a few months ago.

Very strange indeed for a coin supposedly nobody wants.  That made me buy some 50,000 ixCoins so now we sit and wait to see if Vlad's ETF or xCoin theory pans out - I believe he said ~$10 within 90 days some 40 days ago so he's running out of time.  lol, I'm holding out since the nutjob has been right about some crazy stuff.
