I find it interesting that if you search the term 'ixcoin' on this forum it finds not matching results yet an hour ago it worked fine and found lots of results?
It is call "forum censorship". The bitcoin early adopters don't like ixcoin for the most part because it is a competing block chain.
Yea I figured as much. Just thought I would throw it out there..
And although I was a bit cynical of IXCoin I'm now mining them. I find this new currency quite interesting for some reason. IMO it has a number of advantages over Bitcoin. Though I do believe Bitcoin will remain the most popular digital currency for some time I like the analogy of Bitcoin as gold and IXCoin as silver. I also like how the 2 currencies can be traded for each other across the exchanges (and the transfers are FAST
).
As a side note, I am also becoming a bit concerned about the level of 'control' a few individuals seem to have over Bitcoin. Theres the early adopters that obviously determine the price of Bitcoin (no central control?) and things such as forum censorship (early adopters also?), and the fact Bitcoin is WAY over-valued at the moment. IMO in a free market, price is determined by the market, but I'm not sure the market is being allowed to do that in this case. The problem may be that the market (in the case of Bitcoin & at least for now) is largely controlled by those that hold the coins, and so price is determined by a select few. Anyway I think having 2 or even 3 'main' digital currencies is a good thing. Long live IXCoin.
