I want make enough  money to buy my ixcoin. So maybe it's better for me to be selfish and abandon the crue right now. Frictionlesscoin, you could do the same. As Vlad said everybody has to think about himself.
Bye to everyone. Until I will not see result from the actions planned (new exchange and pools), you will not hear from me anymore.

Yes, very disappointing isn't it?  

Someone who owns 600,000 IXC does not want to spare 15,000 IXC to further develop the coin.

My expectation was we would see some kind of leadership from one of the most vocal proponents of the coin.





2822  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: January 13, 2014, 05:47:50 PM

I think IXCoin is stuck in this mud for the following reasons:
- the creator got lost in queensland forest
- the creator is basically a coward and a thief, escaped with the booty
- anyone with a lot of ixcoin (i believe there are others "Vlad2Vlad" out there) is ready to lose everything but to give 5-10% of their fortune to make the other 90% worth 100x the actual value.

I think this proverbial rhyme will show You the possible outcome:

For Want of a Nail

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Touché.

I see your point but have to disagree.  The only thing I asked for was a secure wallet.  Friction came out of nowhere and appeared to have his own agenda, and I think we're all very fortunate for this fact.

But no code update, and addition to various exchanges and no actions, are going to take this coin to $10.

The only thing that will is the realization that this coin is what I've been preaching is and if I'm right it will happen and it will happen just as I said, in the next couple months.  If I'm wrong then it will probably never happen and we'll be lucky to ever see $1 and that will only be on some lame hype pump and dump.

So I see no point in giving away a bunch of my hard earned coins when it will make little to no difference.  If I am right then I will pay all those who help develop this coin - but it will happen if it goes up and I will do it cause it's only fair, not cause I owe it.

Cause nobody was paying me to take the risk and to spend countless hours promoting this coins and giving out thousands of iXcoins.  This is open source and we all pitch in and do what's in our self interest.  I did all that cause I believed in ixCoin and cause I had a lot to gain if I was right.

Everyone here, including friction has an agenda and something go gain so everyone must put in their best effort.

And if this does go to $10, then that's a different story cause, dollar-wise, I would have no excise to not pay for development. But as it is I haven't even taken out lunch money out of my coins and I'm doing all I can to conserve them until I see, one way or another, if my theories about this coin are in fact true.


Look,  you pomised a bounty of 15,000  IXC... I do expect you to pay up.   If its going to cause you pain to do so,  then that's just part of the cost of doing business.  If you are looking for an agenda,  then it is simple,  I want to get paid the IXC bounty.

You have the same idiotic attitude as the original developer.   IXC got listed on BTC-E back in 2012,  guess what the original dev do?   He did nothing,  he did not even announce that fact.


Now what we now have?  Maybe you need a big reality check because IXC does not have a lot of liquidity.   All the major coins like BTC, LTC, NMC, PPC all have decent liquidity.  You as an economist should know the value of that liquidity.

I share your sentiments.

Okay, Vlad2Vlad would you rather pay 15,000 IXC today or would you like to pay 15,000 IXC (plus interest) when it hits $10?
2824  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: January 13, 2014, 05:27:02 PM


You guys can have any article you want.  I wrote roughly 300 pages in like 14 days on devtome.  I was up entire nights writing like crazy cause I knew it would only last 1 round.

The bounty I promised you, if you look back at my posts, was on behalf of a collective from the community.  Before I left I told them to pay you directly and I now have to PM them to see if they followed through.

I know Tazman has, and I think he already gave you the 10,000 he committed to me when I was soliciting support.

I will see what's left of that original 15,000 bounty and get back to you.

I do have a lot of ixCoins but I have such angst against giving it as bounties due to the lying dev and the fact that I had to go through a lot to get my coins.  

Man, I sold my truck for crying out-loud so it's hard for me now to pay the bounties of some idiot dev.  I have done a lot for this coin.  I have brought in dozens of new long term investors.  I drummed up support for 6 months.  I single handedly supported the price to the tune of 65 bitcoins for 6 whole months and I gave away thousands of iXcoins to strangers to encourage them to invest in ixCoin, to show them I wasn't a pumper.

I'll see what I can do cause I appreciate what yours doing and I love the direction you're going with this but don't expect me to pay out a lot of actual coins.  If I'm right about it going to $10 soon, very soon, then I will help development a lot dollar-wise (I will even pay the $1 million fee for an ETF license if needed) but I'm very careful and conservative at the moment with these coins.

(1) What articles do you have?  I need a list.

(2) Tazman has paid up.  I am waiting for your part of the bargan.

Let me make one thing clear,  the dev. bounty money goes to a lot of stuff you folks who sit nice and comfy in the back seat are not aware of.  These include:

(1) Paying for servers to host the website.
(2) Paying translators.
(3) Paying for hosting of seed nodes.
(4) Paying other devs like maxpower and rsnel for their work.
(5) Paying for press release.

These are not one time payments, but are recurring expenses.

So if you made like $80,000 and can't spare 15,000 IXC (i.e. less than $2,000),  then I call B.S.!

Yes, I do expect 15,000 IXC from you.

Stuff needs to get done and it can't get down if you folks keep hoarding the coins and pretend that it is going to rise on its own magic.    
2825  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: January 13, 2014, 04:50:39 PM
Folks,

I got 50,000 ZTC (ZenithCoin) that I can distribute for all kinds of bounty for IXC.

I am very busy in terms of development and want to give this to someone else to manage the distribution.

Dexter44 has this long list of todos,  we can distribute ZTC to folks who perform tasks.

Other ideas are:

(1) Promotions on BTC-E for IXC
(2) Promotions on BitcoinTalk like changing signatures.
(3) Paying people to post nice things about IXC.

Anyway,  I am looking for volunteers to manage the dole out of 50,000 ZTC.  ( costs around 3 - 50 cents a piece).


2826  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: -- The Riddle of the father and son - Who Was, is and Will Rule the World! on: January 13, 2014, 04:40:54 PM
But you gotta think about it from the point of view of hedge funds cause that's who's coming in the next few months.  These guys look for what sells then look to duplicate it and in that regard, like in getting another ETF going, iXCoin is hands down the best choice.

Cause if Wall Street doesn't see this, and presuming iXcoin goes to at least $10 the way I expect, I will not wait for Wall Street, I will take xCoin to them.  I am already talking to someone in the business about possibly applying for an ETF license in the near future.  Only problem is that it's $1 million fee so I need iXcoin to at least hit $10.

Buy it.  Bank on it.

I'm seriously considering talking to my banking buddies to buy up maybe 10% of iXcoins.

Only problem is, if they attempted to do so,   iXcoin would hit at least $10 that you are mentioning.  Just buying 1% of IXC coins,  170,000 would double the price.
2827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: -- The Riddle of the father and son - Who Was, is and Will Rule the World! on: January 13, 2014, 04:37:22 PM

Okay, a few more concerns I was wondering about.

What happens if Bitcoin becomes massively unpopular? Like say, for whatever reason, people decided Bitcoin was too inflexible, and decided to move to a new currency, and this new currency wasn't ixcoin. Wouldn't the network hashrate drop significantly, and the network would then be massively insecure? At this point, wouldn't a coin such as Securecoin do a better job at protecting itself, as it would be difficult to have many computers attacking its multiple hashing algorithms?

Decentralized crypto currencies like Bitcoin gain their security by the number of participants that are mining the coin.

Just because you have a more complex proof of work algorithm like scrypt or secure coin ( 7 different hashes ) does not make it more secure if you don't have a lot of miners mining the coin.  

Bitcoin gains its value on what is called Metcalfe's Law,  wherre the utility of the network grows with the square of the number of users.   As more miners join Bitcoin mining becomes more secure.

That is what you just don't understand

(1) Fast block rates make a network less secure.
(2) Harder Proof of Works schemes like Scrypt, Scrypt_Jane, Chains of different hash functions,  Memory hard schemes only change the nature of the machines that mine the coin,  but you still need a lot of miners to secure a coin.  With Bitcoin (an iXcoin), you not only need a lot of miners,  you need very expensive miners.  

2828  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: January 13, 2014, 11:54:37 AM
And I doubt anyone has more than 1%, even pools, as ixCoin was seen as such a plague - I think every large holder dumped iXcoin on any price spike since it always looked like it was gonna die any second.  That's a good thing and it explains why there are never any huge sellers - as there are no real large holders.  This coin is perfectly set up to skyrocket if demand ever spikes.  Another thing the so called Wall Street bankers should see in this coin, which no other coin has, as most/all other alts were accumulated heavily by just a few people early on.

Cause even though ixCoin was cheap, nobody except Vlad and maybe one or two other random secretive guys accumulated any meaningful amount and that was because iXcoin always looked dead last and a coin ready to die and be forgotten.  So I can't imagine anyone have the conviction to buy and hold more than 1% when there were always coins with a much better appearance.  Vlad had a crazy conviction about this coin but it was in isolated event I think so besides him I really doubt anyone has a really large amount of coins - including the wannabe dev, Thomas the Crook.

^Great summary about Ix: Then, Now and the future.


I'm relatively new in the crypto game, i got into the game around the news about silk road.

I know a lot about every alt-coin, iXcoin has always been a gigantic mystery to me. After reading several pages on this thread..
I'm sold about iX, more then Nxt, which was my favorite alt-coin.


P.S.
The windows client needs to be updated.

My apologies with the windows client.  Our developer for that piece has been slacking recently.  Must be the holidays.

Coinpayments.net: IXC didn't make it

We have been beaten by CatCoin! Well it is on three exchange already, its value is twice the price of IXC.
I am speechless. Before a DOGiE, now a CAT..... It's a ... CoinFarm.

Here the verdict:

"Ok well here are the coins that we will be adding...

Earthcoin - EAC     - 406
incakoin - NKA     - 172
Frozencoin - FZ     - 130
Xivra - XIV     - 99
Catcoin - CAT     - 95



Is it not interesting that all 5 of these coins did not exist a month ago?



Mindless ShitCoins for a Mindless Audience.

Reality should eventually kick in.

Now that you are back

(1) Review the press release.
(2) Contribute some of your articles into www.ixcoin.co
(3) Send the bounty you originally promised for the encrypted wallet.

Thanks!
2830  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: January 13, 2014, 11:51:42 AM
Folks,

Please add your edits to the Press Release.  We want to send it out this month!

http://ixc.boards.net/thread/25/draft-press-release

We got to step up our game!   

I would like to see iXcoin be in a great position when funds start flowing en mass into crypto-currencies. 

Please make some solid effort!
2831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: -- The Riddle of the father and son - Who Was, is and Will Rule the World! on: January 13, 2014, 01:51:39 AM

Right on Vlad.  Maybe Friction can add to this cause he really understands this tech.

But it's shocking to see how many people have no idea what this technology is and what makes it better than the next crypto.  It's shocking to see the masses pile into an inferior CrapCoin which has not been time tested nor does it have the current or the possible future secured network withouth which no crypto can ever really make it while they put their money into a completely unproven crypto, which, like you said, would fork, die or simply not be able to add the necessary hash rate to ensure security on a massive scale.  

99% of all the CrapCoins out there have absolutely not chance at ever being a major player regardless of their services and community simply because they do not now not will they ever have a secure network like Bitcoin or iXcoin.  When people finally understand this simple fact they will abandon all those coins and pile into coins like iXcoin.

And maybe you're right, Vlad, maybe it will take the smart money, Wall Street, to show everyone where to invest cause it doesn't seem the masses really get it even though it's fairly simple to understand.

Finally, thanks for all your observations, Vlad, even the religious ones.  I like to see all the information and I will choose what's best for me and my money.  Please continue pointing out anything you see - even if it's a crazy coincidence.  Some of the greatest findings in the world have been just that.  


Vlad is correct that the number one priority of a crypto-currency is to ensure security.  Satoshi Nakomoto did choose to have 10 minutes per block because he believed that its should be fair for all participants of the network to see all transactions propagate to all participants prior to the creation of a new block.   By going with a 1 minute block rate, one risks an uneven creation of blocks reserved for only those miners that happen to be in close proximity to each other.

The issue of fast confirmation times are really the domain of gateways like Open Transactions and Ripple like systems.   In fact, the micro transactions implementation of Bitcoin works in this manner.    Fast confirmations creates for more insecure block chains.  Furthermore, people who say it is necessary for any real payment technology are completely clueless.  Bitcoin already has what is called green addresses, in fact,  if you send a transaction using Coinbase to another user who also happens to use Coinbase,  the confirmation is almost instantaneous.

Anyway,   the crypto-currency investors are littered with absolutely clueless people.

We paid $18K for a fancy PR firm to promote a little publicity. They produced almost nothing as far as I can tell.  Can someone tell me how Terpin earned his money? 

Mastercoin is now faced with the indignity that is being deleted from Wikipedia.  This is a direct result of non-existent publicity that Terpin was to provide.  Here is what they have to say about the project publicity: "The Forbes.com article is an opinion piece, the USA Today thing a passing mention in some kind of tech/gossip article, the rest aren't proper WP:GNG sources at all."

Can't we do a proper Newswire press release campaign.  Mastercoin is a spectacularly cool concept which is of great interest to those who are learning about bitcoin and the future.  Don't we have any clever writers in house?  WTF?  Is this ready for a bounty Ron? 



So $18K buys you Forbes,USA Today, Coindesk and Bitcoin Magazine?

Still on the IX thing?  Don't know if anyone mentioned it, but IX means Jesus Christ.


I don't think that's correct.


The IX XI ring stands for I AM! the jesuit order did not get its name from jesus, but from je suis, which is french for I am. i am is what the initiates say upon reaching a certain higher degree.  It's the devil's way of once again copying God and since God stated that He was to be called:  I am that I am or the Great I am it's not a surprise that Satan would choose a symbol which stands for I am.




You know,  the new Pope, Pope Francis is the first pope from the Jesuit order.

I really don't buy any of these conspiracy theories.

However, what I am quite stumped about is:

What does IXCoin mean?

Out of all the names were available back in early 2011 for a coin,  the developer chooses IXCoin.   

What does IX mean?  Is it IeXchange, internet eXchange, Nine?

Also the name Thomas Nakasioto is really intriguing, not only is it an anagram for Satoshi Nakamoto,  Thomas originally meant 'Twin'.   That's really too much of a coincidence.

The other interesting thing is Satoshi Nakamoto did propose the merge mining for Namecoin,  and when Namecoin did come out,  it was just a 12 days later that IXCoin came out.   

Still wondering what IX means though... does it have some latin significance?

2838  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: -- The Riddle of the father and son - Who Was, is and Will Rule the World! on: January 12, 2014, 03:29:39 AM

One more small but interesting revelation I had recently.

So Thomas Nasakioto is the now MIA dev of iXcoin and his name is an anagram of Satoshi Nakamoto.  

Quick note:  Interesting dev behavior as far as the guy being anonymous and just disappearing out of the blue but what I found interesting, and this could be just another coincidence, is the fact that in Ancient Aramaic (just like XIC), the name Thomas means TWIN.

As in:  Thomas is the twin of Satoshi.  I simply have not been able to find anywhere close to this many eerie similarities and coincidences with any other alt coin in relation to Bitcoin.  

Interesting, not only is the name an anagram of Satoshi Nakamoto,  Thomas means twin.... nice find.

I however don't think its the same person as Satoshi.  It's some guy from Queensland, Australia.   
2839  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: January 12, 2014, 02:29:14 AM
website looks better, great job


Is there anyway we can get the dot org site back?  Bitcoin has dot org and it's a much easier domain to recognize than dot co.  And who's got the dot net and dot info?  I read months ago that those were up and running within days of iXcoin launching.  I think Vlad pointed out that this was yet one more unusual thing about this coin which if true, I have yet to see some cheap Premined coin have 3 sites up and running at launch.

One can only ignore so many "coincidences".

Glad to see Vlad is back.  Now we just need one more Frixtion since his workload is quite a bit and a few more guys to fill in the various roles of an active organization and we've got ourselves a real dev team.

Then all we need is one good solid code upgrade, colored-coins included, and with a touch of raised awareness (i.e. the Vlad effect - in 1 hour he got 3 different guys to invest in IXC, lol) and the whole scam lie will forever disappear which will give rise to an entirely new perception for iXcoin and with it, an entirely new and well deserved higher market valuation.

That said, if what Frixtion and Vlad are saying are true, $1 should come very quickly while Vlad's $10 target within the next 60 just may prove to be another crazy prediction come true.

Thomas Nasakioto owns the .org address.  3 different people appear to own the .com, .net and .info domains!

The .net domain appears to be on sale for $250.   

2840  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: January 11, 2014, 08:38:57 PM
Did the press release abou IXC come out?

No it has not yet been released. 



When is the first one expected to come out?

Thanks.

Here is the draft:  http://ixc.boards.net/thread/25/draft-press-release 

Please add your comments.

I am hoping to get the Colored coins stuff included to get maximum bang for the buck.   A press release for a coin that does not reveal any differentiation may temporary push the price up but does not have a lasting effect.   I have been watching the price for Franko after their press release,  it did bump up the price, but the price eventually fell down.

So if we are to reveal iXcoin to the world,  it has to be extremely effective it explaining why the coin is different.
