Title: [ANNOUNCE] Ixcoin 0.3.24.3 - merged mining, timetravel fix (compulsory upgrade) Post by: Nasakioto on December 19, 2011, 02:05:50 AM We've made some changes to Ixcoin to implement Artz's 51% time attack and to support merged mining. This is a compulsory update otherwise your Ixcoin client will not communicate with other updated nodes after block 43,000. The blockchain remains intact.
What's new in 0.3.24.3?
Where can I get the source? The latest source is available at https://github.com/ixcoin/ixcoin (https://github.com/ixcoin/ixcoin) Where can I get the executables? On Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ixcoin/): ixcoin-0.3.24.3-linux.tar.gz (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ixcoin/files/ixcoin-0.3.24.3/ixcoin-0.3.24.3-linux.tar.gz/download) ixcoin-0.3.24.3-linux-src.tar.gz (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ixcoin/files/ixcoin-0.3.24.3/ixcoin-0.3.24.3-linux-src.tar.gz/download) ixcoin-0.3.24.3-win32-setup.exe (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ixcoin/files/ixcoin-0.3.24.3/ixcoin-0.3.24.3-win32-setup.exe/download) ixcoin-0.3.24.3-win32.zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ixcoin/files/ixcoin-0.3.24.3/ixcoin-0.3.24.3-win32.zip/download) Looking forward to your comments. Thanks! Thomas. Title: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ixcoin 0.3.24.3 - merged mining, timetravel fix (compulsory upgrade) Post by: Nasakioto on December 19, 2011, 03:28:37 AM Thanks for the update however it fails to build on OSX due to the missing auxpow.o & .h in the makefile.osx once they are included it builds fine. BTW if you want to complete your binary collection above I can send you the universal binary I have compiled up it is using the BDB version 5.1 not the 4.8 that was called in the makefile, it is ~8mb compressed. Thanks for the tip and build. I'll modify the build file when I get a chance. Do you happen to have a link to the build so I can include it on the ixcoin.org?

================= 144 blocks a day 13,824 coins a day 21,000,002 total coins reward halves after block 210,000 All mining rewards other than transactions stop at block 227,499 block 210,000 is estimated to hit 2/25/2015 block 227,499 is estimated to hit 6/27/2015 However, due to re-target algorithm times should be shorter. Title: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ixcoin 0.3.24.3 - merged mining, timetravel fix (compulsory upgrade) Post by: kjlimo on December 19, 2011, 10:36:21 AM How/why does "mining stop" in 2015? How will transactions be processed if there is no mining? Do you mean that fees are to replace new coins rewarded for mining?

Thus no more 96 or 48 rewards added to blocks. Gotcha, so are there mandatory transaction fees with ixcoin? As far as I can tell, bitcoin only has voluntary transaction fees. However the merged mining may allow ixcoin to survive with very little transaction fees. I would think long term that no trasaction fees would not be good for the chains life.

We'll stick to Bitcoin's transaction fee scheme for now - except if it becomes apparent in the future that changes need to be made.

Run them inside a virtual machine that you don't use anything else for and you're almost certainly safe.

I had a 1050 coin bounty on there for best ixc graphic website before end of year. Since no graphic was submitted I decide to give it to the ixc best site. ixcoin.org is full of spam so I decided to post here. Winners 1. http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/ 2. allchains.info 3. http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool 4. https://vircurex.com/ Both 1. and 2. are down for ixcoin at the moment. If neither are up by 1/15/02, I will send it to 3. doublec.

"I examined IxCoin’s sourcecode after unsuccessfully imploring him to drop his losing bet on IxCoin. Quickly it was apparent that the entire thing was unstable and a get rich quick scam. Within 6 years, the system would become unstable and shut down overnight because of technical reasons." Question: Does the block reward just go to zero? Will blocks still be created just with no block reward as long as there are connections and miners? If not maybe nasakioto can add a 1 block reward after coin 21,000,002 is minted?

IXC still has trades at btc-e.com. However, I am looking forward to the realcoin trading. Not as slick as btc-e but it still works.
