it is
iXcoin
Bitcoin's operating port 8333 is changed to 8337 with Ixcoin.
Bitcoin's RPC server port 8332 is defaulted to 8338 in Ixcoin.

Ixcoin is no longer mined though right?
This is an excellent idea!
I've recently started mining p2pool merged with most of the coins listed in OP, but there seems to be some confusion about the ports required to do so, as I just mentioned in the p2pool thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg11471687#msg11471687
Maybe if the correct ports for each coin could be listed in the OP? This would save much confusion to noobs like me
Particularly CLC & XGG - I can't find any info relating to those ports......
Huntercoin made that claim, however actually merging it resulted in no blocks found, which I reported at the time (long ago) and have not even seen them acknowledge the problem let alone announce they fixed it.
So as of last I checked their purported SHA256 merging does not apparently work.
Maybe their scrypt merging works though, I do not know.

I found HUC to be working fine, I've already found a few blocks with p2pool merged

I'll attempt a IXC Port of it soon.

So, how to move forward? As I have already written above, I maintain a branch of Bitcoin Core that adds nothing except for merge mining: https://github.com/namecoin/namecore/tree/auxpow
It is the basis of Namecoin's merge-mining implementation, but with minor changes (i. e., chain ID, auxpow start height and possibly some details in the auxpow verification if coins made changes to it), it should be applicable to other coins as well. I keep it up-to-date with all the latest Bitcoin patches.
For the individual coins, the ultimate responsibility lies, of course, with the corresponding coin developer. Thus, if you are a MeMiCA coin developer and want to benefit from shared merge-mining code, please take a look at my branch. Try to rebase your coin off it if that is possible and you want to keep track of the latest Bitcoin patches. If you can not do that, carefully look at the auxpow code in there and the one in your coin. Feel free to contact me with any doubts you have, and I will try to support you as much as possible.

Likely Freicoin will be merged in the future as that was/is the plan.
Well, it's a good news. I would like to read domob's opinion on this.
From a quick glance, it looks like its auxpow code is (as with most) based off the original Namecoin auxpow.h/auxpow.cpp - so you should be able to switch to my "auxpow" branch of Bitcoin, if you desire. Not sure what opinion else I can have at the moment.
Unobtanium is now available for merged mining since block 600k about 12 hours ago.
I'll be very interested in the progress of this group.

Please express yourself. Thank you.
Sounds good to me. Going once... going twice...
On coinmarketcap.com the top four MeMiCA coins sit in the positions below as of today.
14 Namecoin $4,057,339
56 I0coin $289,106
57 Ixcoin $280,336
122 Devcoin $72,579
But if you strip out the non-mineable coins it looks like this.
8 Namecoin $4,057,339
22 I0coin $289,106
23 Ixcoin $280,336
54 Devcoin $72,579
3 of the 4 MeMiCA coins with the highest market caps are in the top 25 positions among mineable coins. As a group they are very well positioned. We just need more development to bring them more visibility and utility for users.

My suggestion for doing something as a group that is difficult to do alone is to start some kind of payment service, store, gaming site, exchange, or the like to attract real users to the MeMiCA coins. It should be something unique so we aren't just competing with all the other cryptos. Something that could generate a genuine influx of loyal users. The trick is to find something that hasn't already been done, or is an improvement over other services?
Payment service is the best choice. "MEMICA Payment Services"

2st Step: Appoint a cooperating developer for every coin
He/She will have the tasks to work on specific parts or projects, helping in keep github repo updated, stay in contact with all the other devs, discuss ideas.
There is no need to have a public identity, unless the dev himself desires so.
A coin without at least a dev working for the group will be eventually excluded from the project.
Please everybody available to cover this position let this community know. Thanks

Hello from i0coin to all you MeMiCA's!!!
I manage the website for i0coin. I could help with a MeMiCA website when the time comes to roll one out.
1st Step: Appoint a Lead Developer
He/She will have the tasks to coordinate the efforts, check the progress of every project, handle the github repo, stay in contact with devs, discuss ideas, have a public identity.
The last requirement would refrain the person from behaving selfishly, act instead with a sense of responsibility, being able to explain the plans in motion for mm coins to others.

I'm available. (As lead dev of the merge-mining part - of course, individual coin features would stay within the responsibility of the individual projects.)
Huntercoin is also merge mined with Bitcoin (as well as scrypt coins, it uses two PoW algorithms, in addition to disbursing coins to players in the game).
Huntercoin made that claim, however actually merging it resulted in no blocks found, which I reported at the time (long ago) and have not even seen them acknowledge the problem let alone announce they fixed it.
So as of last I checked their purported SHA256 merging does not apparently work.
Maybe their scrypt merging works though, I do not know.

Maybe you just found no blocks because f2pool/discusfish ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/f2pool-700411 ) merge mines it with a boat load of hashrate. I know that there was also a myriadcoin p2pool that was setup to mergemine huntercoin sha256; the site is down now, but I remember them complaining about not finding (many/any?) blocks on huntercoin because of the massive hashrate of discusfish.
You may want to put each coin's logo on your top post and here's one for I0coin.

I0coin is interested in participating with MeMiCA. Great idea to stick together in a competitive crypto environment when we have many overlapping requirements and many tools developed for one merge mined coin will easily translate to the other.
