Hmm, you mentioned in the other thread that you were considering merge mining of i0coin and iXcoin on a pool ...
That would certainly turn me away from it.
How would you know a pool was doing it? They could do it in secret and you'd be none the wiser.
I need to explain it to you? Smiley
I already pointed it out in the post you are quoting ... (LP's)
Then of course you could easily check the blocks in both to tell ...

i0coin was created because of iXcoin and the fake scam person who created iXcoin - not to join with it.

Also note that merged mining anything means more LP's and more LP's equate to more stales and invalids.
People should consider that when considering merged mining also.

Not in any of the bitcoins or knockoffs I have looked at. The whole checkpoint thing exists only within the initial download section.
This is incorrect. The checkpoint is checked during normal operation of a node as it receives blocks from peers - only if it receives a block for the height that matches the checkpoint of course.

You may be thinking of the fact that if a checkpoint is introduced  but the hash is incorrect then existing nodes that are beyond that checkpoint continue to operate normally. This is because they don't re-validate the chain it already has. This is the issue the devcoin chain had with the invalid checkpoint that was introduced. If it were to receive a reorganisation that involved getting a  block at the height of the checkpoint then it would check it.

Only if the code is changed to actually check the checkpoints during re-organisations.

Normally it is only checked when people grab the blockchain initially from scratch.

So if they do re-write, we have to hope someone has a backup that matches the checkpoints.
Correct me if I'm wrong but for the node to have got the block in the first place to be able to rewind back to it during a reorganisation then the checkpoint has been checked for it. The checkpoints are checked during the normal process of receiving a block from a node, not just the initial download.

Is there a need to upgrade to the latest version or can we continue using 7?
The more nodes that upgrade the less risk there is of someone rewriting the blockchain back to the checkpoint in 7.

Source and binaries for version v32508 of i0coin is now available at http://i0coin.bitparking.com. The only change is to add a checkpoint at block 155,000. I'm working on including the i0coin icons that were made by lightlord in the next version.

Well ... actually ... no one posted a bounty for a logo ...
So maybe that explains why he didn't get any Tongue

Edit: though the fact that he said he has more than 300k i0coins sorta makes any bounty pretty worthless to him anyway

It's like Bill Gates who asks you for a $10 fee Tongue

What's going on with i0coin?  It's been stuck at the same block for the last 3 hours (according to Allchains anyway).  Is it just an Allchains display error or something?  Anybody know what the true current difficulty is?  I'm at work so I can't czech.

Looks like someone just added 100GH/s to i0C.  Fork attempt maybe?
