you two have been riding each others nuts pretty hard lately.

how do you make it out of the bitcoin source code?

Ah...but wait...

I recall another spammy thread you started around here claiming Thomas and I were one and the same person yet now you accept were not. 

Are you schizophrenic too?

The different currencies and whether they will succeed or not lol? My members are getting paid Bitcoins to post so I think they look for debate.

"Other Coins" are welcome at TweetForum as well. There is no reason why we can't openly debate these auxiliary chains. http://tweetforum.com/other-currencys/

You couldn't knock your mum out you goon.....

Regardless of the whole underlying motive behind creating Ixcoin, I suspect that the copying of Solidcoin's difficulty change algorithm might very well affect Ixcoin's exchange rate.  All else being the same, if the change were implemented right now and given a few adjustment cycles to ratchet down, the exchange rate should be roughly 1/3rd that of Solidcoin (96 coins per block vs. 32).  I'm kind of tempted to buy a few thousand Ixcoins out of theorycrafting alone.

I don't understand how the difficulty can lower 400% in 12 hours. If it would lower 100%, it would be 0

Negative difficulty here?

You really should have waited a few days to make sure of the result before gloating. You gave smoothie super-counter-gloat powers plus the last word bonus.

Your loaded poll sucks. You used a poll with loaded answers and a thread no-one else can post to. You got a abuse of forum powers disadvantage and gave smoothie an underdog bonus. If you wanted to watch the forum condemn smoothie you have to take the risk they will do the opposite.

The score so far:

Oldminer:
-3 Abuse of forum powers disadvantage
+0.5 Not raising to all the bait

Smoothie:
+2 super-counter-gloat powers
+1 last word bonus
+0.5 underdog bonus
-1 Coming across as a bit obsessive

We've committed several changes to Branch 0.3.24.1.

These changes include a switchovr to new difficulty adjustment algorithm at block 20055. The current block count is 19960 so we should hit this count in about ~2 weeks. After that, difficulty retargets every 24hours with max increments of 10% and max decrements at 400% (uses Solidcoin's code). The aim is to achieve a much more consistent block rate.

On 09/01/11 00:12:51 UTC (in one week), the client will switch over to a new Ixcoin-specific pchMessageStart peering marker from the original Bitcoin marker. This change was recommended by a few although we haven't had reports of any issues with this yet. Better safe than sorry.

This will mean that all Ixcoin users need to update their client within 1 week. After that, their clients will likely not be able to communicate to other updated nodes on the p2p network due to the new marker. Blocks would also be rejected as they wouldn't include the new difficulty algo.

We wanted to have the marker and diff algo switchover together at a particular blockcount, but this might not work if some peers have switched over to the new marker and cannot update blocks on other peers using the old marker.

The changes are detailed here : https://github.com/ixcoin/ixcoin/commit/df30a348d0f914412a5a248f282afdd7ade95dbd

The IRC host is also now changed: https://github.com/ixcoin/ixcoin/commit/d8808bdf8eb109a25389b1745069955115c2940a

Any comments/reservations/suggestions would be appreciated at https://ixcoin.org/forum/index.php?topic=71.msg358. Anybody who can test this code, please try and get back to me. If we don't get any objections to the new code, we'll upload the new builds very soon.

Thanks!

Actually, several major announcements are in the pipeline for Ixcoin. But feel free to sell all your Ixcoins, I'm sure someone else would be glad to pick them up from you.

And again, if you don't support Ixcoin, why are you so active on this forum?

and also thomas niggasaki you have like 5 other accounts here so this poll tends to be pointless so my vote goes to scamscamscam all you are is a plagiarist who hasnt given anything to the community so go pissoff

LOL poll fail

So far we have:

Yes = 6
No = 8

Looks like you assumed wrong yet again smoothie? 

It's actually rather easy for people to test whether Bitcoin's wallet.dat will be accessed. There are sandboxes, string searches, etc. You might as well say "never run another binary again because it may steal your wallet". The fact is the bitcoin binaries themselves can even steal your wallet, better not run the client at all.

Or "Leave your computer turned off - only when it's on can the wallet be stolen!!"

You are right that people should be hesitant to trust anything new, trust takes time to build. However your alarmist attitude sounds more like someone who is afraid of what SolidCoin represents to Bitcoin. Also with wallet encryption coming up in the bitcoin client (already in SolidCoin) I hope people become less concerned with their wallets being stolen as they will be useless to thieves and hackers.

Vendor bounties have changed now due to the 600% increase in price, also because a lot of the vendor requests I'm getting I don't necessarily think fulfill the 750 SC vision I had planned for these to be used on.

250 SC has been sent and I'm sorry if this change has upset you.

I will be posting a link on the bounties/market page for you site soon.
