Can someone tell me why the iXcoin difficulty isn't keeping up with Bitcoin?
I've been watching it and there appears to be a different difficulty algo running for iXcoin which allows for a lower relative difficulty relative to its network hashrate.
Cause from everything I've read, iXcoin is exactly like Bitcoin except for the accelerated coin mining output.
Does anybody know what's going on? If it is a different difficulty algo, how can that be and what exactly was changed, why and how clever or how difficult was that particular change in code?
Let's keep on mind, Thomas was very much an inept computer programmer, so any highly skilled change in the protocol would raise some kind of flags for me.
Thanks!
Bitcoin difficulty is different from IXC. IXC use a difficulty algorithm that if I recall correctly is based on solidcoin. |

2. Receive a different design - which is based on individual smaller miners, not in a case per-say, but similar to a Klondike model instead. Again for the hash rate at the time of purchase.
Would be the best option for those of us with defective hardware. The DIY kits by themselves might work but most of us have defective hardware that would require replacement. Getting flawed designs immediately as number 1 option just is not workable as no one yet has a single working miner that did not have defects. If the new design is properly QA tested, it seems like it would be more viable. Could you elaborate more on what the new design consists of? And how long the wait to get it?
+1 I agree, the current design is hopelessly broken. I doubt they will ever work. I got mine, and it is still doing nothing. |

You guys are so fucked. So how can amt offer the option one, of shipping all the miners in a week, if they can't currently ship all the miners?? wtf is the theory behind that?
Yes, I have no idea how they can even ship all existing miners. Also when they say 'ship a miner', do they test if it works. So far the Bitmine based miners have all kinds of technical issues that prevent it from working. I mean, I still have a 6,000 brick in my basement that run for over 3 weeks now. How is that going to be addressed? |

The pool had an ixcoin crash today: boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:412: typename boost::detail::shared_ptr_traits<T>::reference boost::shared_ptr< <template-parameter-1-1> >::operator*() const [with T = CAuxPow]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
This is with the latest client. not good. |

Hello!
I have IXCoin client for windows and I cannot figure out how to export the private keys so I can make a paper wallet.
Please help!
This is the only client I have that doesn't have a console with which I normally use "dumpprivkey"
Which version of the client do you have? |

So when r we supposed to see the safenet ? any timeframe ?
+1 I'm sure everyone would like to see some kind of update from Maidsafe now as to the future of the project and a timeline. @Maidsafe team. Come on guys! You now have a nice healthy bank balance ready to give your project a massive boost... don't forget where all that money came from. Their are many forum members vested in your project and we want to see some kind of developments. Even just small updates. Anything's better then nothing. You'll need to find out about developments at the Google groups. Not here. |

Still waiting for the paper that explains how skycoin works. |

So when r we supposed to see the safenet ? any timeframe ?
+1 All this talk about the BTC investors vs MSC investors is just a distraction. Prior to the opening of the IPO, the rules were pretty clear. MSC folks would get a discount. Now as a BTC investor, you know this before you even invest a single satoshi. By analogy, when a stock is IPO at $20 and you know that insiders got the stock for $10. Anyway, I would ignore all this whining and focus more on the future direction of maidsafecoin. P.S. I invested using BTC. |

Look if friction is the developer , i am not seeking to disrespect him or anyone here. When you say 'counterparty I assume you mean things like colored coins i guess ? You mean this ? https://github.com/bitcoinx/colored-coin-tools/wiki/The-next-gen-colored-coin-clientNo disrespect but if you are experienced a few checkpoints do no harm
Yes the network is running fast, best protection in the world
Cinnamon_Carter, Thanks for your work. I would like to ask your opinion about the counterparty update. Can you contribute with your ideas? I would like to see a joined work, you and Friction. "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." Henry Ford I guess he means something like Counterparty, but instead of being built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain and network, use ixcoin blockchain itself. FrictionlessCoin, am I right? Yes, that's correct, Counterparty ported to iXcoin. |

I still have 23,800 maidsafe coins.
The actual amount doesn't matter my friend, only the percentage of issuance matters. Would you still be fine having 23,800 MaidSafecoins if the IPO gave so much more to Mastercoin holders that instead of owning 0.0001% of the IPO you owned 0.00005% of the IPO? When Safecoin eventually has a market cap of $100,000,000 you will be half as rich as you could have been. When talking about IPO, you're reference to having a number of MaidSafecoins without regarding your dilution shows you are confusing the matter. Get out a calculator and project different market caps onto Safecoin, you'll soon find yourself very poor. The calculation of $100m marketcap is equivalent to saying that BTC should have a marketcap double what it is today. BTC mining is just a distribution method, just the same with Maidsafecoin farming. The only difference is the implementation, BTC is some arbitrary cap number and Maidsafe is actually capped because you can't have more coins than the maximum for a 32 bit number. So the current float is indeed 7 million while the BTC float is 5.6 billion. Mining and Farming are just different coin distribution methods. All mining and farming does is it controls the release of coins based on the resource consumption of the miner/farmer. The coins are already there, you just can't trade them! |

If the situation is that friction wants a bounty to do the updates/ dev and the community doesn't seem to want to cough up some money to pay for that then maybe a compromise.
What if friction did the dev work to get things updated, but added in the changes, such as an 80 byte op_return, to make it friendly to counterparty system.
Then because friction is in a good place to know and modify the ix code, the community supports an ipo for a counterparty style metacoin protocol. Friction (if wants) can then be paid from said ipo. Apossible name , x-coin.
In any event by making ixcoin more friendly then bitcoin it should attract SOMEONE to create a "more Fair" counterparty system. Then they do all of the marketing and get the buzzz going.
And soon ixcoin will reach one million dollars( pinky in mouth with evil lauhter)
Let me check if the 80 byte op_return is already in the current codebase. One of the big issues is getting the pools to accept the newest version. There will be no need to IPO a counteryparty style metacoin, since the coin consumed by this kind of coin would be IXcoin itself! Isn't it not the coolest thing? Funding anyone? This is blowing my mind! I guess I don't understand how a counterparty system would work on ix. I just assumed that since ix is a clone of btc then it would need a meta coin to do these features. And we all have witnessed profits from the release of meta coins so it seemed logical that this would generate profits. Are there any posts that elaborate on this topic? This is also why I mentioned that if ix was open to meta coins, the new groups would do hella marketing for us. The way Counterparty works is that it has its own coins and Bitcoin is just used as a transport protocol. So to send 10, 100 or 100,000 counterparty coins, you just need to create a bitcoin transaction that spends more than a little over 5000 satoshis (i.e. the minimum number of satoshi that is not treated as 'dust'). Now since IXC uses the same technology as bitcoin, you can create a Counterparty version of IXC however with one significant difference. The difference is that you don't need a counterparty coin, the coin is just IXC. No need to have this proof of burn facility. Everything is just native. Is it secure, well.... of course it is... nobody is going to muster the hash rate to break it. Anyway, I was hoping to raise like 25K to motivate me to do this work. I believe I've raised 5K so far. |

So wait..
The lawyers that are sueing AMT are in the actually in the office building next door to them? That's almost too brilliant. ROFL! Round up all your pissed off customers in a class action suit that you helped set up and take it to a federal level. And wasn't this lenell guy praising their name and rooting for AMT for a good while?
Well, here's hoping that the lawyers are on top of the situation. |

AMT like I've said before, I'd be more than willing to withdraw my complaints and forfeit the class action suit if you would communicate to me truthfully and send me my miners and/or a refund ASAP.
If you accept a refund from AMT, then obviously you can't claim damages from a class action lawsuit. Alternatively, if AMT refunds everyone then nobody can claim damages. It is just that simple. |

Since they are sending me back the miner, I will have my technical guys look at it again. For some reason only half the boards work. In order to make it easier on us, I will try to just ask for the parts I need if that is a possibility. The RasPi works, its just only half the boards work. Either its the cables or the backplane that was damaged in shipping. I will just not worry about the case if I can get it to hash at 1.2Th/s with support. Thank You.
Okay, keep me us up to date with you return process. I got a 48lb brick in my basement that needs to be sent out. I don't want to have the trouble of it being shipped and being bounced around several times to a non-accepting location. AMT.... what address is best place to send RMA equipment. Is the FEDEX location the best? |

Armed bodyguards, lol. We're salesmen and technicians, what are you talking about! First we're going to fulfill everyone else's order (refunded or upgraded) prior to your original order number, and we'll get back to you at that time. We were not aware that you had reversed the fedex, usually fedex attempts 3 drop offs and holds it for pickup.
He said one armed bodyguard. Well I can't blame him for taking a body guard with him, afterall Bruno says that you treated him like a 'garden gnome'. |

Folks
Let me clarify two things
1. As i said i will not stop you can ignore me
2. If you ever happen to get original hex8 board + real heatsink + real assambly i can assure you that you can count on me in terms of help abut technicall stuff
BUT once again Poserkoto Zipkin will not deliver this board to you. If he does it will be to a few blessed ones. So do not count on it all.
Good luck to all of you who still do hope
What are your qualifications to do assembly? What if we send you our bad AMT boards, can you assemble and test them on the technobit boards? |
|
|

Hello,
A bunch of AMT customers have received AMT systems that are non-working.
Would it be possible for us to send our boards to you to be re-assembled into TechnoBit boards?
You will just have to remove the surface mounted A1 chips.
Is this something that is viable?
All of the AMT customers execpt melbro did recive a crap. not a bunch all exept one! Are you ready to pay shiping back and fourth + 1month delay + service + pcb cost? If yes then somone can comment if it is possible at at in technical terms Besides you do not know if chips are working at all that is noncence The best aproch will be to order populated board without the chips and do it localy. Nonworking chip in the beginning of the chain can make all the rest not to work And finaly cheaper will be just to order real fuly populated board which is working fantastic  That is a thought, how much for a fully populated board without the A1 chips? We can mount it ourselves. Marto can you comment. |

Loshia,
I do not see your point in all this bashing of AMT. I think you should leave this board. Same with Phin.
All AMT customers want is some compensation for their investments.
We already have the legal aspects handled with the class-action lawyers. If AMT want to work out a solution that gets everyone compensated then that's good for everyone.
The Technobit AMT board looks like a good step in the right direction. Now we obviously can't trust AMT, but there are already plenty of organizations that are monitoring AMTs every move.
So your constant bashing of AMT does not help. We already know that they have a very low competence level. However, we want them to come up with a way to compensate everyone who lost money.
You are no help and should disappear! You really are a nobody that just happens to own a techno-bit board. Phin is a nobody who doesn't even mine BTC. I think you folks over estimate your importance in this entire AMT fiasco.

I dont' want to deal with Cryptsy, as far as I can tell it is the original and biggest scam-exchange, enabler of scam-coins.
I use Vircurex because it came closest to having all the merged mined coins, without throwing every day's new scams at everyone all the time.
However it looks like Vircurex might be jumping on the "lets list all the latest scams" bandwagon itself now so I dunno.
Nice would be an exchange that simple carries all there merged coins and no others.
As even Litecoin is looking dubious since DOGE came along.
-MarkM-
Why not take a look at CryptoCzar... they have the marketmaking capability that you've been looking for. |

We're not gone, nor moving out right away. We're not running away with anyone's payment either. We've said numerous times that we're working on a upgrade/refund options for all of our clients, as such it requires a complete audit of the company's finances (needed for discovery during the litigation's investigative process anyway) and we're also restructuring of our current business model all together, gearing up to offer hosting as well hardware soon.
We have also been looking at a more adequate facility in Jenkintown and will probably be moving there within the next month. As we have subcontracted SMD services we've also used their facilities as well as other temporary rented facilities for assembly. We feel it's smarter to take a location where assembly and administrative operations can coexist and we're in the process of setting that up now. Also, due to numerous calls from random people asking if we are legitimate, if we exist, if we're a scam, and calls basically bothering the crap out of our neighbors, our landlord has asked to find another place of operations as well. So again thanks to all the wonderful investigative souls on this thread that helped facilitate that one.
Just because you are moving, does not mean that customers have no way to return defective products. Explain to me why that was not done for mrpark? |
