OK, just ease off slowly please.
We have restarted for now, sorry for no previous warning - we had to do some unexpected maintenance. However IXC mining will be turned off completely on OCT 24 @12:00 hrs GMT.
We technically cannot do it separately for IXC, it is merge-mined with BTC, so it shows the same rate. However, since we have warned everyone that GHASH.IO pool will be closing down, we expect miners to gradually switch to other pools, which will ease off the hashrate.
Message to iXcoin miners:
It appears it is up to miners to move off of ghash.io. The pool can't throttle down gradually by themselves. They can just turn iXcoin mining completely off. With that in mind, we don't want to lock up the iXcoin block chain again. So if you're mining please switch to another pool before Oct 24. Below are the other pools I know of. If there are additional pools let everyone know.
