Topic: Ixcoin TODO - page 83. (Read 631736 times)

I remember reading about BIP30 a while ago so I did a search.   Lots of talk about forking.  Not sure if it's true but we should probably pick a direction (BIP30 or no BIP30) and stick with it to prevent problems.  I'd probably go with whatever Bitcoin does to be consistent and make updates easier.  Frictionless should know if it was enabled in v0.8.6.  He did the update.

For those interested, work done by me last Nov to upgrade Ixcoin, is now finally posted, mostly build system stuff, that needed allot of attention.  What is now up on GitHub, also includes up-to the minute recent activity, as we get these remaining software problems figured out and resolved, changes could come from several differnet directions.

so...atm 6 commits from me

Allot of new work on the table, added the latest v10 core build system, customized and working well with our back ported source at the v9 level.  Allot of tests are now passing too.  From source, anyone can now build Ixcoin, just ./configure the tests enabled (default), and see the pass/fail results.  Week before last, we could not build any without considerable pain.

Combined with what mmpool has given us here, important new clues and fixes will hopefully become apparent.

My goal is to start build #1 of the Ixcoin v0.9.4 test series.   It will primarily be updates to repair the problems found so far, so don't hold us hostage to a date, I have no idea if this will go on for days or weeks, but we'll keep producing test builds until the problems are resolved and we can agree it's ready to be released.  Once all the primary & QT tests pass, I will produce build #1, for at least several target host types.  Can say with certainty, that using the new builder tools to build Ixcoin binaries for the various 32 or 64 bit linux & windows systems, or on a mac, will be pretty straightforward & easier to do.  An important asset for our coin to have, plus operational in a number of places, and working well for users too.  Onward to Ixcoin v0.9.4-rc1

Merge pull request #13 Ahmed, time to hit the trenches...

Super feedback mmpool, thanks much!   

....Reviewing it here now too

I've wanted to remove that BIP30 related code, also think it's ok, but needed to do more research. 
Please do, your know how on that history, is better than mine.

Obviously,,, we also need to update the miner description strings...

On-> The blocks don't appear if I do a 'listtransactions' though.

That definitely  needs to be fixed. 

On-> Is 'listtransactions' broken for generated blocks?

Sure looks like it is, will start now to look closely into that code, try to find answers.

On->Was BIP30 ever enabled on ixcoin anyway

If I could have answered that, with a for sure no, would have deleted that source in a heartbeat.

Really hope we can crack those final errors....this is a big start!

Results of testing merge mining on master branch ofhttps://github.com/IXCoin-Dev/IXCoin.

Merge mining seems to mostly work. Here's a log:


Yes, it says DevcoinMiner but it's the ixcoin client. Note the 'tried to overwrite transaction' error. This appears to be BIP30 related. If I turn off BIP30 this error goes away. Was BIP30 ever enabled on ixcoin anyway? The block does seem to get mined though. With it disabled here's a log:


That looks promising. The blocks don't appear if I do a 'listtransactions' though. They do seem to be working as subsequent blocks increment the height. Is 'listtransactions' broken for generated blocks?

Testing without merge mining and listtransactions does show generated blocks. I'll do more testing to track down.

I have tried to talk to the winklvii twins several times about IXC but no go.  If IXC takes off in price and volume and/or other unique developments happen then I would try talking to them again.

IXC doesn't have to follow Bitcoin in lockstep.  IXC can add features Bitcoin lacks and it can omit features the community doesn't like.

Hey Vlad, can you get the Winklevosses to list Bitcoin's twin, IxCoin, on their twin-themed, Gemini exchange? It would seem that the coin prophets have spoken.

An interesting topic i don't see discussed much, what if bitcoin forks with features the community doesn't want. Does ixcoin become more attractive or will ixc always be developed in lock step?

Bounties maybe?

Bill Gates was turned into a puppet back in ~1998.

And if you know what "social" causes he supports, along with Buffet, they are both evil individuals.

But [to me] this is precisely why Gates' statement is important - because it is actually made by men much greater than him, his puppet masters, which is why I think it is very telling of what's to come.

How can we define a mission statement when we have no idea what IXC was and is intended for?

It's impossible.

My guess is remittances plus daily use [for obvious reasons] but a guess is not how you define the purpose of an asset/coin.

Remember before you bow down before the evil likes of Gates.................. ie is not the default web browser , i would be more concerned if Gates said something was a good thing if i agreed than felt differently, like all those in the 3rd world poisoned by his vaccinations.

Gates is the type of person who thinks he can buy his way into the world elite power structure , and they will use and manipulate him to let him think he has done so when in fact the real people who control things think of him as a pawn on the chessboard like they would any other person.

I almost feel sorry for him but not quite.

I've been saying all year they're gonna use multiple coins at first, including doge, ltc, ripple and other niche market coins.

But in the end it will be just one and [bill gates agrees] that it won't be Bitcoin.

Yeah, my BS detector was honking hard

"Bitcoin Won’t be the dominant system for Moving Money," Says Bill Gates, adding, "other coins will be more efficient."

Oh, you mean like I was saying back in 2013?  lol

Couldn't post an update cause Bitcointalk was down but the entire 125K lot sold for full asking price.


Cheers!

I am having serious personal issues where I have to come up with a lot of cash fast.

iXCoin has zero inflation and it is difficult to accumulate large amounts.

I am willing to sell half my ixCoin so 125,000 IXC but the price will have to be at least 15,000 Satoshi (I paid up to 19,888 sat for most of these].

Please PM me if you are interested [ the price is firm ].

And I have other alts I am also trying to sell so if I reach my funding goal then I will not sell these coins anymore.


Cheers!

It would appear the price of iXCoin is being [intentionally and slowly] walked up.

The guys at ixco.in appears to have bailed on us.  The site has been down for about a month, and the electrum wallet they developed is also down.  It's strange they would buy up all that ixcoin and not stick with their business plan.  I doubt they even sold their ixcoin or we would have noticed.  

Has anyone heard from ixco.in since their site went down?

For anyone else looking to cash out BTC quickly, I found these guys to be efficient and legit.

Cheers!

I have no idea how localbitcoins works.  Usually bank transfers take days.

It's ok, I found a friend to buy straight from me. 

I never knew how expensive lawyers could be.  Greedy bastards!!!!
