So Vircurex support and the new protocol changes are being implemented as of 1 Oct 12, so what is there to do? I can't find a windows client that will work after the changes.

Any word on exchange support for i0coins? Is this the death knell for i0coin?

Huh? The change has been in since May or somesuch, it is merely becoming active soon.

That still doesn't account for Vircurex support ending, so there's no exchange for the coins.

That is no big deal, everyone still gets the coins as a side-effect of bitcoin mining so maybe it is just as well that they not be overly tempted to throw them away dirt cheap (dump them), we'll see in a few years when most of them have been minted whether everyone still wants to dump them or has seen by then the usefulness of having a large number of choices of cryptocoins to choose among and to long or short against each other and to play games with maybe if they can salve their conscience for spending money on games by arguing to themselves it is worthless money, play money, in the first place so it is okay to fritter it away on entertainment and so on and so on.

Really it is just a potential opportunity to pick them up cheap despite maybe not having gotten into them some time ago.

Also, I still have them listed on the Digitalis Open Transactions server (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53329.0), so trading them against any other listed asset there is still implemented. (No fiat is listed though; to get to fiat you might have to pick up something that does have a fiat exchange somewhere else and go to that somewhere else with that something else to get to fiat. Which is fine by me as fiat is what we want to distance ourselves from anyway, right?)

Hmm, interesting, but just doing a cursory investigation(about 20 min) I can't figure out for the life of me how to get that running. Oh well I'll just hoard my coins.
