http://bravenewcoin.com/news/bitcoin-etf-may-attract-300-million-in-the-first-week-says-needham-and-company/The Winklevoss twins’ long-awaited ETF is pending approval from the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). After years of delay and amended filings, a decision is scheduled for 11 March 2017, and marks the end of a final extension period.
Bogart analyzed the ETF as he feels that the listing of a bitcoin ETF, “is a low probability event with very significant upside.” Such a large upside, in fact, that it would greatly affect the price of the GBTC, which is based upon the price of one-tenth of a bitcoin plus a premium. The effect, Bogart believes, of any SEC-approved bitcoin ETF would have on the price of bitcoin, ”is vastly underappreciated.”
However, the Bogart estimates the probability of the SEC approving the Winklevoss ETF in 2017 is, “sub-25%.” While there is no specific reason given for the estimate the report states, “the confluence of fear, uncertainty and doubt coupled with basic incentives at the SEC will make it very difficult to get approval.”

OK, just ease off slowly please. We have restarted for now, sorry for no previous warning - we had to do some unexpected maintenance. However IXC mining will be turned off completely on OCT 24 @12:00 hrs GMT.
We technically cannot do it separately for IXC, it is merge-mined with BTC, so it shows the same rate. However, since we have warned everyone that GHASH.IO pool will be closing down, we expect miners to gradually switch to other pools, which will ease off the hashrate.
Message to iXcoin miners: It appears it is up to miners to move off of ghash.io. The pool can't throttle down gradually by themselves. They can just turn iXcoin mining completely off. With that in mind, we don't want to lock up the iXcoin block chain again. So if you're mining please switch to another pool before Oct 24. Below are the other pools I know of. If there are additional pools let everyone know. http://mmpool.org/registerhttp://p2pool.in/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62842.0 |

Your project contains the old centralized "alert" system previously copied from upstream Bitcoin. This system lets the holders of a private key send messages to be displayed in the error field. Because of its limited utility, potential for abuse, known disclosure of the key to at least one untrustworthy party (and is believed to be compromised), and frequent use to justify other centralizing features this system has long been deactivated (and now is completely removed) upstream. I would recommend you remove this system by adopting this code from upstream: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7692 or the parallel PR in bitcoin xt, https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt/pull/150 |

Satoshi did not ninja mine the coins. He was there to support the network. Satoshi's coin should be kept.
Surely satoshi has earned those coins by creating bitcoin in first place?Should he work for free?? Im not calling for removing satoshi's coins.
But since we are on that topic if you applied the same scrutiny to bitcoin that we do with alts then yeah, bitcoin was stealth mined. Yes satoshi needed to support the network but he also could have burned the initial big blocks of coins, who knows, his coins might be lost already due to loss of priv keys.
Eth is brought up as an an example of a blacklist.
But Really i was bringing up the idea of adding in coins to a special foundation account for future development, which would be a premine of some sort.
Remember reading? It works great. |

Lol, step 2 is funny. If BTC is going to be the auxilliary, then who's the parent?
Why even move this thread, just delete this clueless bullshit..
Bitcoinix merged with bitcoin. Why can't bitcoin fork and add mege mining to one of the chains and merge with itself? That's even worse Thanks for all the explanation spots. Even though I've witnessed many taking a shot at you over the years for being a coin cloner, I've never said anything. You are the guy that makes lots and lots of clones only to drop all your shit on the scene right? Well why don't you have an actual opinion other then 3 words you goof. |

This seems to be a fork with the sole objective of blacklisting coins and/or diminishing the total supply, thus this fork is effectively an altcoin (this thread will most likely be moved)
This thread is for discussions of a hypothetical topic. |

Im just brainstorming here.
#1 Reason to fork bitcoin is to remove the Ninja mined Satoshi coins. See what I did there, the parallels to the eth attackers coins...
Opposite direction from
No really, I'm sure you've thought that an Ixcoin 2.0 reboot would allow for some extra freebees given to the ixcoin foundation for future developments.
Step 1. Fork bitcoin
Step 2. Add in ixcoin merge mined code etc
Step 3. Add in a special address with new foundation coins.

So the one mistake that ixcoin did when the code was initially copied and released was to NOT use the original chain distribution.
Ie: fork bitcoin but change the reward distribution to ixcoin style.
Holy shit. Did I just suggest we Reboot ixcoin to ixcoin 2.0? All the code is there yes? We fork bitcoin and make the fork merge mined with a faster mining reward just like the original ixcoin.
My head is going to explode if vlad likey.
The only change would be the block reward? What about block size/time? That would be an i0coin 2.0 fork  |

Hi guys its me again. Does somebody know a source to get ixcoins direct for cash or cc? There's a lot of interest but its still to complicated for the average joe to buy them. I thought for a ebay like, where you can simply buy anything with a CC, but there are other problems. Any idea?
Well seeing as how ixcoin is a copy to bitcoin, any sites or methods bitcoin uses ixcoin could very easily also use. Ie: start your own local bitcoins or as someone a while ago suggested. Start your own website that acts as escrow, accepts payments, and pays in bitcoin. Bitcoin-brokers.org has an interesting model. |

Nowadays it's all difficult, even to distribute money for free.
I hate to say it. But sometimes I don't even pick a penny off the ground. Sometimes not even a dime. So for these systems you need to dl and install software just to get a dime. Well, you get my point. |

I will make a video on how to setup a paper wallet as I get home. I've tried it and I think it will be to complicated for non techy pepople. I think it could be something like this:
1. run a virtual machine from a usb stick (for advanced security disconnect all hdd)
2. install your printer without to connect to the internet ( pc has to be phisically disconnected from any network, wifi too!)
3. make and print paper wallet(s)
4. erase any traces of the process left in the computer (clear memory...)
5. import private key to existing wallet
The video will be a fool proof steb by step tutorial. Anyone has any suggestions on what to add? And one last question: anybody willing to offer her/his personal voice for the video? A "her" would be much appreciated.
Maybe this helps -warning this is slightly old info from a few months back and has not been tested. Post below if you have used it.

Paper Wallet Generator
December 29, 2014
The Walletgenerator.net Team ( walletgenerator.net ) made an offiline wallet for Ixcoin. You can create one too following these instructions:
CREATE A PAPER WALLET
Download github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net/archive/master.zip
NOW GO OFFLINE, BE SURE YOUR PC HAS NO MALWARE OF ANY KIND
Unzip it, click on "index.html"
Move your mouse around to generate random characters
Click on the right on "Choose currency", choose "iXcoin"
In "Single Wallet" click on "Generate new Address" : you will get:
-Public Address
-Secret Private Key
Print the Wallet and keep it in a safe place.
SEND COINS TO YOUR PAPER WALLET
Now send coins (start with a few if you are not sure) to your "Public Address"
Wait 10 minute and check if now this amount can be seen in the blockchain:
iXcoin Blockchain
You should be able to see it. Now they are in your paper wallet (they are in the blockchain, in reality).
REDEEM YOUR COINS (when ir will be neccessary or just to test the system)
How will you redeem your IXC in the future?
Download the last iXcoin QT wallet, sync the blockchain.
Now in the iXcoin QT wallet, go to "Help", then "Debug Window", "Console"
Write:
walletpassphrase "mywalletpassphrase" 600
("mywalletpassphrase"= it's the password of your QT-wallet, if you set one)
(600=seconds the encryption of the wallet will be disabled)
Then write:
importprivkey "mysecretprivatekey" "nameofthewallet"
("mysecretprivatekey" = it's the Secret Private Key you have previously generated)
("nameofthewallet" = just a name you give to the wallet)
With this last operation you didn't transfer coins, you simply added the address (used before as paper wallet) to your iXcoin QT wallet.
WARNING: never show your Secret Private Key to everybody. The only way to invalidate the old private key is transferring all the coins to a new address. |

Some working nodes please i need them quick, thank you !
Historically this has worked bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=230141.msg9578701#msg9578701 I can't find any connection with any version of the wallet. Has anyone some nodes for me. Either version should work if you're not mining. If mining then 0.8.6 is the most tested. Version 0.8.6 sourceforge.net/projects/ixcoin-ng/files/iXcoin/ixcoin-0.8.6/beta/ Version 0.9.2.1 github.com/GroundRod/IXCoin/releases addnodes are here if you can't find peers www.ixcoin.co/?page_id=21More nodes: addnode=70.162.18.215:8337 addnode=210.195.32.216:8337 addnode=76.21.152.125:8337 addnode=46.127.137.233:8337 addnode=85.159.107.224 addnode=192.71.218.197 addnode=187.75.129.214 addnode=62.31.240.7 addnode=80.60.211.164 addnode=77.102.31.100 addnode=82.73.161.214 addnode=193.149.11.237 addnode=184.78.215.89 addnode=206.71.179.116 addnode=68.168.104.10:8337 addnode=122.49.204.160:8337 addnode=5.9.85.34:8337 addnode=167.160.36.73:8337 addnode=54.213.254.200:8337 addnode=188.226.177.232:8337 addnode=99.162.89.78:61444 addnode=62.31.240.7:8337 addnode=69.164.219.74:8337 addnode=128.123.113.205:8337 |

@deadsea, which wallet is closing? Why and how long did it last?
@vlad can you hack into existence some sigs for the various member levels as apparently all member sigs aren't created equal?
|
|
|
|
Nasakiotoes, why did you post my [hacker] code 3 times? I mean, is it that good?  It is that good. And I didnt understand the tag line, so I hacked it. |
|
|
|
how do i clone your sigs, gents?
Copy and paste my hacker code into your sig-line. Here --->> |
