From what you've communicated earlier on this thread, it sounds like an updated client will soon be released as well, based off of the 0.8 code?? (correct me if I'm wrong)
Also, do we know who maintains the current website??? It seems all you need to have a coin that gains a ton in value these days is a kick ass website and an attractive client (I mean, look at Megacoin, jeez).
Ixcoin being one of the first coins, and having 1/4 - 1/2 the hash power of bitcoin is huge, and most people don't recognize that.
May be worth gathering a bounty to do a new site.
MegaCoin client is actually very ugly and hard to read. The entire 21 million coins mined in the first 5 months out of 42 million total sounds like this coin has had its best days in the past. If the ixcoin price ever dips to 3000 satoshis again I will buy some. Otherwise, a dead coin with a big merged mined hashrate is still...a dead coin.
You have to think a bit about the fundamentals of the coin. For 2 years the coin has traded in Vircurex for roughly the same price in BTC as it is now. In other words, people for at least 2 years have been trading their valuable BTC for IXC. Furthermore, it has been merged mined since block 45,000, which means that people have also been using their valuable hash to acquire IXC.
Unlike most coins in existence, the acquisition of IXC over 2 years have been quite expensive relatively.
The way I look at it is, this is a fixer upper. A lot of potential!
