I would highly recommend starting at least difficulty 128 - 512. Difficulty = 1 will be absolute chaos when I'm guessing 50~100 GH/s coming just from I0 Guild. Miners are hundreds of times faster than when Bitcoin began at Difficulty=1.
As a pool of course you would. That is about when solo mining starts to kick out. I suggest leaving it at 1, letting cpu miners and solo minters have a bit of fun., and pools staying off until it hits 512. |

Fred has been trying unsuccessfully to contact Bruce about getting Ixcoin a vendor table and sign up to be a conference sponsor. He does not appear to be returning Fred's emails or chat requests. I'm guessing he's pretty busy organizing the conference, but can anyone help in getting hold of him? That would be most appreciated. Thanks. Why would there be a Ixcoin table at a Bitcoin conference? It seems as weird as a Nokia stand at a Motorola conference. Not trying to be agressive or anything, Im just curious. I really dont get what a Ixcoin table would do at a Bitcon conference. I used to wonder the same thing when I saw the Microsoft booth at Usenix, but they kept sending it, with some very smart staff to man the booth, so it must have worked for them. |

Can anyone besides the author confirm they were able to run both bitcoin and namecoin protocols and do transactions with both using this client?
Ok, after a bit of delay to play with ixcoin instead, since I did not have any namecoin's available to transact I have now used it with bitcoin and ixcoin. It did require a new build then the one I posted binaries for. If anyone wants me to try namecoins send me some @ N7CUfdbr8VCAvipV7qAAkmS5XycfrkhtWJ and I will confirm if that works also. At this point, what I can say is multicoin does work as a way to try different block chains. It is not an end user ready client. It is the currently bleeding edge client though for those that want to experiment with different chains and merged mining . For support you need to be willing to goto the irc channel. If anyone wants me to update the binaries I provided in an earlier post, or post some for other platforms let me know. |

Bitcoins can be printed on paper, copied, bound, copyrighted, and self-published. One could then tear out pages and transmit them. Shall we outlaw books?
Did you bother to read previous posts? Some printed materials are outlawed, try and print dollars even in a book form. Or to see them really stretch the existing laws, read about the recent Liberty dollar case. |

Bitcoin transactions will be added to the taxcode at some point.
It already is in most countries... Please cite your evidence for this, or I will assume you are bluffing. Show me where bitcoins are added to a country's tax code. They would fall either under the barter or the capital gains codes. It cannot be. It has to be tied to something, and it's it's own currency and value changes daily. And yet it is. Call up the IRS and ask them if using a different currency makes things untaxable. How much to you want to bet on the answer? http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=113437,00.html for example shows they want taxes dollars or not on exchanges. |

Anyone care to explain here just how a government can attempt to outlaw bitcoin?
Something like: 1) all transactions must be denominated in and carried out using our legal tender 2) anyone doing fx or any international trade must be licensed, and per the terms of the license only approved units of trade may be used. Total FAIL. Currently, it's legal to create your own alternative currency. There are 100's already throughout the US. If it was possible to outlaw them, the government would have already. Forex is not bitcoin, again, it relates specifically to "financial instruments" and "financial transactions" which bitcoin are neither, in fact, or legally considered. And they cannot ever be considered legally "financial instruments" or "financial transactions". Bzzzttt..... wrong answer. The fact something is legal now is irrelevant to the fact it could be made illegal later. As a small example, consider private ownership of gold. Now go read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102 . If they were willing to make it illegal and seize all the gold in the county, they sure as heck would have no qualms about making currently legal alternative currencies illegal. As for your second paragraph, it says nothing. It changes nothing about the fact that they can make any trading outside of approved denominations illegal. So ... yeah, you predicated your response right from that start. It was total fail. |

Maybe take off the extenstion, and/or add a -Bstatic flag before those libraries.

They have the gc's back in stock.
Currently selling 200 points for 0.80 BTC , which is good for a $10 Gift Certificate.

I can't seem to get the thing to compile (Windows 7, MinGW)... Any chance there's a precompiled windows binary out there or, alternately, that someone can tell me how to fix this: In file included from main.cpp:4:0:
headers.h:59:29: fatal error: boost/foreach.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated. Compliled but not really tested, so sandboxing it recommended etc... |

Well sending ixcoins to a bitcoin address = fail. There goes 116 ixc into the ether.
Seems a bug it let you do that. |

difficulty was 16, it is now 64
That high already? Hmm, how many GRouPcoin are they worth each? How many DeVCoin? Maybe the ratios might tip in favour of mining GRouPcoin or DeVCoin instead of IXCoin? -MarkM- Groupcoin was not replaced with devcoin then? |

So at what difficulty is cpu mining not workable? |

You seem to have added a get block RPC but apart from that your changes look pretty normal, except that you seem to have neglected to change the four-byte hello sequence that protects each variant from chatting pointlessly with some other variant when people start using patches that allow them to run on non-standard ports.
As long as people stick to the hardcoded networking port, fine. But as soon as some user of mainstream bitcoin hacks his bitcoind to use some weird port that happens to be the port Ixcoin normally uses, you will get told of thousands of nodes all of which will be happy to flood you the same way if your code too is willing to try connecting to a port other than its hardcoded normal port.
So I'd suggest maybe picking a hardcoded hello string for your main net and your test net and get them in use quick before there are so many nodes it is a bit late for such a change.
Good point. We were torn on that one. We didn't change the four-byte hello sequence in the end because we wanted to maximize compatibility with third party Bitcoin apps/websites and minimize adoption difficulty. I really think you should do this. Also you should come up with a config file for multicoin. I think not too far down the line we are going to have a multicoin like client that works on multiple block chains at the same time and multiplexes one port. You should position ixcoin for this now while it is the easiest to get everyone switched over. |

Oh deepbit is my fav, and I have my GUI client set up to connect to slush in case deepbit goes down. I just wanted to accumulate some namecoins considering with 10GHash I can generate a lot.
Also, is the bitcoin client compatible with NMC's? I transferred a bunch over but nothing showed up and it's been 24 hours. How do I get my namecoins on my digital wallet?
I have been using http://poolmunity.com/for nmc. You can not use the bitcoin client for namecoins! You need to either use the namecoin client and generate an address for yourself, or multicoin with the namecoin config file. |

Asking someone to sell something through an unknown escrow service is a very common scam.
Looks like this guy couldn't even keep his fake site online for very long.
Yep, unknown escrow is a very common scam. In this case though, the site is up if you drop the www. part of the url. Also, I have dealt in the past with kgo who seems to own the site ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27673.0 ), and that deal went smoothly and well. So not sure what to think about ths OP in this thread. I don't think I like the idea of a donation escrow anyway. |

twobits?
I would say the next step is to take out the -DFOURWAYSSE2 since the sparc is not going to have x86 SSE2 instructions. |

Can anyone besides the author confirm they were able to run both bitcoin and namecoin protocols and do transactions with both using this client?
All right, this seems worth trying out. This could be a very important project I think. I just built the multicoin and multicoin-qt programs. No real issues to get it all to build. The multicoind does not run without some config files in place, muticoin-qt does run, and seems to default to the bitcoin blockchain, as it seems to be downloading that now and gave me the 1AFHAdPE1GWeL6NDp1nKhCa3pFGywJVTg1 address.... more once that is done downloading. Edit: been stalled at block 112,000 for awhile now... Edit2: It was stuck for over an hour, at 112k block, exited and reran it, and it resumed downloading the blocks. |

Website is down buddy. Great escrow you found there...  No, it's not. Look at the link. Link lies, sort of, it is unreachable, by the link you posted. Seems the dns for the site is down. They must have it cached. The site that tests if something is up or not is badly written since they don't recheck the dns it seems. What you are testing here is not the same. It works as mybitsafe.com it does not work as www.mybitsafe.comAlso, it is always a bit suspect when someone insists as hard as you are for a specific escrow. Makes one wonder just how close you are with whomever is running it. |
