What happens to the massive premine that Thomas N. aka Old Miner did?
Does it go away in the re-brand?
~BCX~
Disclosure: I currently hold over 200,000 ixc from the 2011 days.
According to Thomas, that pre-mine was 500,000 ixc where half of it was spent on bounties and servers. From the technical perspective, there's now way you can actually remove it. |

No restrictive licenses. We just need to make sure people that use NXT give proper attribution to NXT. They cant cut and paste it, change a letter and call it theirs without saying that they are based on NXT.
I believe that is what the MIT license states. So we just need people to honor the spirit of how NXT is released.

So are you saying it is okay to clone Nxt? Is saying "descendant of Nxt" sufficient attribution to Nxt? |

actually it would be stupid if someone outside of Nxt community wanted to create fork of Nxt, because he has no experience etc
So, anyone inside of the Nxt community is allowed to create a fork of Nxt? sure, it spreads the word about Nxt  |

My interpretation is that any NXT holder is damaged by anybody that steals NXT property. So theoretically, anybody owning NXT at the time of infringement would have standing to sue. Is that wrong?
James
And when a stakeholder is actually doing those things? Copying, cloning etc? isn't that the case with all those clones? So I guess you have to be a Nxt stakeholder to clone Nxt. Looks like the NEM folks (apparently Nxt insiders) are busy collecting donations in Nxt and BTC for their Nxt clone: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440185.0 Let the clone wars begin! What was that again about the 'trap' in the code that'll render clones dead in 24 hours? Anyone can clone Nxt, but CFB can kill it. NEM is founded by Utopian, he's a Nxt supporter, but the only insiders would be CFB and JL. So, because Utopian is a Nxt support, it's okay for him to create a clone? |

What do you mean exactly by representing iXcoin?
Like wear a T-shirt with an IXC logo on it? Walk around the booths... explaining your coin and why it is novel. HEY... Can anyone put up on sale some T-SHIRTS with an IXC logo on it!!!!  |

Friction,
Who changed the logos on the website?
Did we not vote on the best logos, why are they altered or not being displayed? Who's the rebel?
The logo at the top looks way too big. And all the logos look odd without the circle (you know, like the coins we voted for, circles like a coin since this is a digital coin) and the top colors and coins voted on are not all displayed.
It would be nice if we voted on something that it would show in the end product.
Cause the way you had it done, friction, it looked nicer except for the stretched logo at the top.
I hate to bitch at people pitching in but we do have to all be on the same page here and it's clear as to what logos are preferred by all the people here.
Thanks.
I did the initial changes. Still tweaking. Right now until we get a finalized count of how many people like what logo, I can't really make design decisions. Also, it doesn't make sense to have more than one logo of the coin up there anyways, which is why I plan to ditch the lower section in the future and replace it with icons that actually represent the option (e.g. a package for the download page, a question mark for the FAQ, etc. Going to make the top smaller now, though Jimhsu is handling the graphics and theme of the site. I trust that he will do a good job. Feel free to do what you feel best. |

Any reason why I've only been paid 5 Ixcoin for helping design the logo?
I haven't sent you yet the payment. Probably someone sent you a tip. Apologies for the delay. |

Actually I look at is as if the Account tree is a tradeoff.
You need to keep transaction up to a certain period. That is just how it works for any payment system. and that is what users will expect. The whole purpose of the mini-blockchain scheme is to increase scalability. Just imagine if Bitcoin were to reach the level of traffic that Visa must handle on a daily basis, there is no feasible way that all those transactions can be stored within a blockchain which records every transaction forever. The transactions are the bulkiest part of the whole bitcoin scheme, so what the mini-blockchain scheme aims to do is limit the number of transactions which are required to be stored by every node down to only a week or less of transaction history. There isn't really any trade off involved because users can save the transactions which correspond to their addresses if they want to keep a record of the transactions they have made, but there's no need for them to store any of the other transactions longer than the cycle time of the blockchain. But any node that wishes to save a year or more worth of transactions can do so if they are willing to give up the disk space required; the key thing is that no node is required to store any transactions longer than the cycle time of the mini-blockchain, and that enables anyone to quickly synchronize with the network instead of having do download gigabytes worth of transaction history. I think your proposal is interesting, however I don't think you can discard transactions. Yes you can discard transactions after a period of time so long as you have a method of maintaining a secure ledger which records the exact balance of each address. That is what the account tree does. It is a compact snapshot of the entire system in a sense, but it's a snapshot which gets updated with every new block. The transactions in each block don't link back to other transactions like they do in Bitcoin, they simply issue commands which say "take X number of coins from the balance of address A and give them to the balance of address B". So long as the balance recorded in the account tree for address A holds at least X number of coins and so long as the transaction is signed with the private key of address A then the transaction will be accepted by the network. There is no need to look back at historical transactions, so they can be safely discarded when they fall outside the mini-blockchain. Ok. I see your point. Transactions can be saved by parties interested in saving the transactions, but these don't need to be globally broadcast. |

What I mean is that instead of just the master hash on the block, there is also a merkle root that points back to the transactions in the block just like bitcoin. Transactions are stored in the blocks the same way as in Bitcoin, so there will be a merkle root in every block just like Bitcoin. if you want on only with a years worth of transactions, you query until the account tree of a year previous. It probably wouldn't be possible to get transactions from the previous year because the cycle time of the mini-blockchain wouldn't be anywhere near that long. I still get the feeling you aren't really grasping the concept properly... Actually I look at is as if the Account tree is a tradeoff. You need to keep transaction up to a certain period. That is just how it works for any payment system. and that is what users will expect. However, for a duration say greater than 1 year or 3 years, you want to archive those transactions. To do so needs what you call the account tree that servers just as a snapshot of the transactions at a certain point in time. I think your proposal is interesting, however I don't think you can discard transactions. |

Bitcoin 283183 2,193,847,870.1743 9,815,109.2237
Devcoin 124001 1,604,900,626.8794 7,658,884.1175
Ixcoin 186772 1,103,002,052.3985 8,878,229.9609
Namecoin 159698 1,856,850,491.4296 9,411,141.6273
The mining goes up and the price goes down. It's really an odd coin...
Also very odd numbers if it is showing IXCoin with almost the same hash rate as Bitcoin. |

Vlad2Vlad Can you look at this statistics page: http://www.ixcoin.co/?page_id=80and start writing some text as to the meaning and significance of each chart? Use your economist training. Thanks. |

this isn't working either. NO BLOCK SOURCE AVAILABLE, it's not checking the network. There are a list of nodes: http://www.ixcoin.co/?page_id=21 that you need to add. |

Not sure what you mean. Please elaborate.
What I mean is that instead of just the master hash on the block, there is also a merkle root that points back to the transactions in the block just like bitcoin. Clients then may query for all the transactions or only the transactions up to a certain block. That way you get the best of both worlds, if you want the entire block chain you query all transactions, if you want on only with a years worth of transactions, you query until the account tree of a year previous. |

I'm interested  Seriously though, if done correctly this could be amazing. Yes exactly. We want to do this correctly. However, not only that, it will be extremely innovative. |
