Well, if "I" stands for "International", how can we make Ixcoin International? How could a coin like IXC become more international than Bitcoin?
I recently started to hate the idea of centralised exchanges (robbed 3 times, guess why....)
Is shapeshift the best solution?
That's a good point.
One important way comes to mind. Diversity in development and leadership.
Looking at Bitcoin, it's very much an American coin, from Gavin to guys like Hearn [and their American VC/Bank/Corporate backers] to the head of the BTC foundation, Brock Pierce, all American guys and corporation. Only the NSA/CIA are missing on their sponsor list which I'm sure are there [unofficially].
Nothing wrong with that but if you want a true international image and purpose then you should prove it. How would Americans feel adopting a coin from Russia ran mostly by Russians?
So we need to bring in key individuals from China, Russia, UK, (of course America), Italy, etc., and maybe some crazy Romanian [if he doesn't go nitro]. lol

An additional way is to make ixc available to buy/trade globally so that means various crypto exchanges around the world, especially in China where the market is so massive.
Ideas are easy to come up with; executing when we lack the funds is the difficult thing.
