Community Update:

After discussing the issue [at length] regarding Frictionless and his failure to fulfill his most basic duties and responsibilities as a board member, with everyone currently on the board [including CEX.io] it has been decided that Frictionless will been removed from the iXcoin Foundation Board, effective immediately, by unanimous [democratic] vote.

Best Regards...

Here's another picture of shipments and boxes.  They were shipped out. They were delayed in hong kong. Some clients have already received them. NOT ALL OF OUR CLIENTS CONSIST OF THE 20 PEOPLE THAT READ THIS THREAD.

Again, we are working hard to get everyone their machines and eventually going to try and upgrade people. Some nicer clients have recieved cloud hashing compensation while they wait for their machines. We're doing what we can and we are doing it on a dime because of IMETs fuck up and because of Lenell bullshit and because of our poor decision making skills. STOP writing shit, stop complaining, work with us to get what you want or keep up the crap

Why dont you guys buy some more hardware, we're selling again to try and bring in revenue to help fulfill MPP right.  Or keep complaining and trashing our rep, either way its beyond us at this point.

Thanks

AMT. 

Just to correct, we're not "skipping" the middle man. We are contracted to Bitmine for A1 sales and we are working on sales for the icelandmine and will still buy from and sell for them as well. Inno is using us to help build their own miners and launch internal production, sales and developing ideas while creating miners which are according to industry standards, ie,1U/2U/4U server casing and support for enterprise sales. So basically, we work for them now. But we'l also be incorporating BE200, and Technobit boards into universal casing options, at least on the 2U. As we have an on going agreement with technobit, we encourage them to standardize their boards as well, like they have done with their Be200 board, same hole spacing allowing for a quick boards swap in the same case. Technbit boards are in general very difficult to incorporate into a standardized casing due to the heat, but we think we've finally solved that problem via placing individual modules side by side into 2U racks rather than the standard all boards on one heatsink plate approach. The water cooling technobit option is possible if we can get the orders to justify the margins. As we are never doing pre-sales again,  5-7 day delivery only, it makes it difficult.

We are selling some of the stuff just because we could use the funds and its pointless to let it sit laying around the office/warehouse anyway right.

MPP discussions will come later on, we're not ready to comment on that. We are trying to do something with hosting, but it wont be what you any of you expect and no one will ever be satisfied. Rather lets go ahead and mine some new coins together, we'll pay for the PR and then we'll all try to make our money back. An organized approach like that could work especially with some of the skillets our clients have.  just know we're not giving up like some of the other companies, we'll continue to produce and sell.

We've now incorporated in HongKong and have a small office now with a few staff members in Shenzhen which will supervise quality control in the factory. We're focusing on sales to EU and Asian markets rather than US if you can't tell already.

We'll relaunch US sales shortly, we are redrafting our terms, launching the financing program "FINALLY" and taking care of the class action. Honestly if it wasn't for this class action and clenell's bullshit we'd be much better off our clients would be as well.

@JohnnyBTCSeed  - thanks for that, seems spot on...


Good one, I like that!

Its part of the grand experiment, no doubt about it.  Just ran the numbers, current block is 215866, hard coded last block is 227499, so 11633 blocks to go, before mining new coins ends (~558K coins), that would be ~1800hrs or 72 days from now, if the block time is 8.9 minutes(just a wild guess, I didn't look it up).

Expect volatility, it can be a good thing, if you own a few of these increasingly rare gems.  Ixc has inspired me to learn about how to build wallets from source & focused my goals on the issues involved in this upgrade.  Anyone who can do that for the BitCoin Core 9.2.x has a shot at this, Ixcoin is 99+% the same code, we just have to be absolutely certain to get the merged mining code absolutely correct, if it was easy someone in the NMC, DVC or I0C community would have it already, as far as I can tell they don't.

The way I see it, what happens to Ixcoin, is a time marker, one that will echo what can be expected to happen to Bitcoin many years from now when all those coins have been mined, and I'm old enough to know that its a pretty good chance I'll be dead by then, so what happens here with Ixcoin interests me very much.

Only a small investor, that bounty would push my share in the coins up over 30x, although I'm aware that the likelihood of my achieving it's full reward, before someone else gets there is near zero, being part of a team on this project is not out of the question, so attempting to learn the basics about crypto building & coding conventions, I've multiple decades of hardware & C/C++ experience, yet rusty might be the best word to describe where I'm at, brushing up those skills now, to hopefully be useful on this project.

I said that in late March... And more than 'some' responsibility. CM issues aside AMT was trying to use Bitmine board designs as-given to them by BM.ch. The BOM and pcb layouts were revised at least 4 times during production. Even then BM.ch still had not figured out how badly they blew the top heat sink needs. (ergo the TechnoBit boards) And that is after the delays BM.ch had in getting any remotely workable 8-chip design to begin with.

As for the many other levels of messed up - AMT all the way on those points.

No matter what the product, for something this seriously fucked up the company behind the distributor should be bound to be Liable for said distributors actions and inaction's. Can't say I've looked at the Bitmine thread in ages so don;t know how folks are over ther but if Bitmine has/is taken care of them then they need to spread the love to here across the Pond.

I contacted them requesting a refund because AMT was their distributor and the let me know I'd have to go through AMT. Even though I had explained in the e-mail that AMT was non-communicative and that they refuse to process refunds.

But if anyone else wants to give it a go on the front of them delivering miners to us I'd be interested in hearing how that turned out. They were essentially supposed to be churning out the same product just manufactured here.

I saw some block explorers that could guess if a wallet address was on a big exchange, but it's only a guess, and only for some of the biggest exchanges. Does stellar use this to attempt excluding exchange wallets? Even if they do it will still make Satoshi and big early adopters even richer.

Are you sure you didn't take a crowbar to it? Your machine looked like it got drunk and started running it's mouth. I think it was almost better not to receive it in a case.

I believe Ripple has raised more money than either Maidsafe or Ethereum so far, at $9 million - and they continue to run new funding rounds on a fairly regular basis so I am sure they will end up raising a lot more than that. And of course that is just VC funding, we don't know how much if any of their XRP they have sold.

Etheruem may well equal that by the end of its sale though, because the way its structured means some people may be waiting till the end of the sale to see how expensive its become before deciding how much, if any, to buy.

Thanks Friction.
Does it mean the IXC sent to that address are lost forever?

Not on Ethereum's radar? It seems to me that pre-Maidsafe Ethereum was all about Decentralized Autonomous Organisations and contracts, and now its all about Decentralized Apps and making a new internet. Don't get me wrong - I like the expansion to cover more different things, but I suspect it was partly inspired by Maidsafe.

I believe an alternative way to store our IXC are paper wallets.

I used http://cryptolife.net/upwg

On "Setup" I set the value on 136, then I went to "single Wallet" and click on "Generate new address" till I got an address starting with x.

I sent IXC to the generated address

Everything seems fine: the amount of IXC is in the blockchain

Now I want to recover them, importing the address in my wallet

I opened the last ixcoin wallet (0.8.6), I went to "Help", then "Debug Window", "Console"

I wrote:

walletpassphrase "mywalletpassphrase" 600

(600=seconds the encryption of the wallet will be disabled)

Then I wrote:

importprivkey "mysecretprivatekey" "nameofthewallet"

The answer always is:

Invalid private key (code -5)

Have you any suggestion to make it work?

Thanks

Do you know what the status of order #847 is? I have not checked back in some time. I saw it was said that nearly all orders have been shipped. Is mine among them? And have the 1.2's been upgraded at all?

As with the post a few up, I can't punish them for an ethics infraction which doesn't exist yet in the guide, and we don't actually have proof for. In the future they may be hurt with the addition of a 'legal action' infraction. They have/did have working models, I've seen them.
