IOCOIN does sound a lot less scammy than ixcoin.

IXcoin had a huge bug I wish to ask yall to avoid.

if You are tired and stupid like me and accidently try to send your ixcoin to a btc addy liek 1JDK9BUeTvJE1wDpJ77NDuWct5BYko68Ry rather than saying this is not an ixcoin addy(like the btc client would do, except it would say this isnt a btc addy) it decides to transform that addy I passed into this one xprZ2AcQSpF8skTmg15M9D5BjgjirmzLvx and send off the coin.

This as you can imagine has annoyed me to no end, but it is also a huge design flaw that seems to have been purposefully added to the ixcoin client... If you try this the opposite way, and try to send btc to xprZ2AcQSpF8skTmg15M9D5BjgjirmzLvx, the btc client says "THAT IS NOT A BTC ADDY"  like it should. It doesnt try to transform that addy into some unknown btc addy and send off my shit.

anyways please avoid that pitfall. We have enough to worry about with rogue online wallet opperators and trojans trying to steal our stuff and everyone trying to scam you out of bitcoins, we shouldnt have to worry the app my transform a typo into a valid address rather than informing you that you had a typo.

can you imagine if the bank did that? You tried to send money to a bank addy that didnt exist and they just made one up for you that did.

anyways dont copy scamcoin, copy bitcoin and make sure you dont copy that purposefully designed design flaw.
 
Pywallet can recover your ixcoins

Jackjack,

Since I don't know French, I can't tell what the "solution" was that you linked to.  What problem did you have with my diagram?  I'd like to update it to clarify whatever difficulties you had.

If I had to guess, I'd bet there was some endian-ness issues.  That's always the problem.  Scripts and key-data are usually big-endian, just about everything is little-endian.  Except for those times that it isn't...
I didn't translate because actually I was the problem. I didn't fully understand your diagram, I forgot to use binary instead of hex strings(that's always my problem Wink ), I was disappoint because the only official example is actually an old example which isn't used anymore, I hashed the message twice (once in the sig function, once before calling it), and yes, a little endianness problem
I think one thing should be changed though: you should write Hash (as in the client source) or sha^2 instead of hash256

If you're going to make that seriously please adjust the difficulty if it hasn't changed for 1 month

I've been told it's 'cause they fear the auto-update function will be hijacked to trick users into installing malware...

That's a good reason to not have it.   Smiley
Absolutely

5186  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Fake Bitcoins? on: August 13, 2011, 04:53:30 PM
Nobody can fake blocks, they can mine them in a row
I think even 3 confirmations should be enough
5187  Other / Off-topic / Re: need a calculator like this in JS! on: August 13, 2011, 04:46:48 PM
To have the value of n ixcoins in BTC, just multiply by zero, no need for calculator
5188  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Need some testnetcoins on: August 13, 2011, 04:34:27 PM
Pleased to confirm 10 testnet bitcoins sent from my test pool at miningpool.com .  Use them wisely :-)
Received, thanks

Can someone send me some testnetcoins to my address in my sig?
I know there's a faucet for that but I would need about 10 of them
Thanks

The address in your sig is this: 19QkqAza7BHFTuoz9N8UQkryP4E9jHo4N3.

That's no testnet address. Testnet addresses start with n or m.

What's up with that?
It is a testnet address, it's also a Namecoin address Wink
Look at my sig (line 2)

5191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ixcoin - a new Bitcoin fork on: August 13, 2011, 02:55:06 AM
In particular, I think it is unfair to keep hundreds of thousands of whatever-coins for yourself, and it is unwise to think that a bitcoin variation that is "almost exactly like bitcoin, only different because... well, just because" will ever have anything more than speculative value.

How do you respond to the idea that you started this new blockchain with the primary purpose being to make you an early adopter so you can get rich quick, especially considering you made 250'000 ixcoins for your personal use (not bounties) before even announcing your project? Many people on this forum including me think just that.

The day following Ixcoin's introduction, I bought several thousand Ixcoins at 0.00006 BTC from miners me
Fixed
5192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is it necessary to close bitcoin client before making a backup of wallet file? on: August 13, 2011, 02:50:37 AM
I don't think it's critical but as the client locks the wallet database, it's better to close it
Better safe than sorry
5193  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Errors when using self-made transactions on: August 13, 2011, 02:48:16 AM
It seems (in the french subforum) that the client source use this syntax:
Code:
      -the transaction         (classe CTransaction)
      -hashBlock  (0 because it's not broadcasted yet)  (classe CMerkleTx)
      -vMerkleBranch  (classe CMerkleTx)
      -nIndex  (classe CMerkleTx)
      -vtxPrev (classe WalletTx)
      -mapValue (classe WalletTx)
      -vOrderForm (classe WalletTx)
      -fTimeReceivedIsTxTime (classe WalletTx)
      -nTimeReceived(classe WalletTx)
      -fFromMe (classe WalletTx)
      -fSpent (classe WalletTx)

5195  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Easy offline transactions with standard client on: August 13, 2011, 01:14:24 AM
Just for the record, there is also a transaction export/import patch for bitcoin (GUI and CLI).
You have to compile bitcoind yourself, but after that, it is much easier to use IMHO.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28278.0
Yes, and this is this patch that made me think about implementing it
The only problem I see is that it requires to build bitcoin and it's dependencies
When I tested to build bitcoin it was really a pain (Ubuntu), so I think building it without internet connection must be even more boring

Why not put it into the official distribution?  I think all you need to operate a completely offline wallet and make it easy would be an ability to export/import the latest blocks and to export/import transactions (on import, the client would just behave exactly as it would if it had received the transaction from the network).  For the blocks, if the export could just export the blocks downloaded since the last export, it would probably make it quicker to keep the offline wallet's blocks updated.
As blk00001 is just the entire blockchain concatenated I don't think it is simple to export/import blocks. It would be nice if someone does such a tool though, because it's really a good idea. Personally I'm too busy with pywallet
To import/export transactions, pywallet works fine, or maybe I didn't understand correctly what you was meaning

New release:
 web interface now use --datadir and --wallet flags to autofill forms
 no more "A if cond else B", so it should run with python 2.4 and maybe less, can someone test?

I also modify the OP to add how to use each function, everything is written there

1) Mine IXC
2) Sell and make 10x profit
3) Make a thread letting everyone know...
4) Huh
5) profit? lulz




3) Make a thread letting everyone know what a massive d-bag you are...



The creator of scamcoin has a lot to gain by risking $2500us to put up massive buy orders inflating the apparent values of his filthy coins. Haven't you idiots heard of a long con?

I've heard of a stop-whining-coin  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

I am not whining. I am voicing my utter astonishment that people are complicit and this asshole's scam and aren't even ashamed of it.

BitcoinEXpress is the worst of them, hyping it in every running thread and creating new threads to hype it some more.

Someone will be left holding the bag. He should be ashamed of himself.

Sounds like whining to me.

Seems like you're being a dick for no reason.
5198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IxCoin is a SCAM on: August 12, 2011, 11:30:57 PM
Right now, no merchants that I know of will accept IxCoins...no exchanges that I know of will trade IxCoins, there are no tools that let me see up to the minute values, charts, graphs or get real time trade information.

In the two days since Ixcoin's introduction, there's already an exchange (which compares very decently in BTC volume to other early exchanges), a pool, two blockexplorers in the works www.ixcoin.net and www.ixcoin.info. There are also several people working on charts. Note these are all independent initiatives.

So, because other people are complicit in your scam, it is legitimized?
Of course!
Look at Madoff!


Oh wait...
