Does anyone know how to create an IXC paper wallet?

Now Vircurex have announced they will no longer be trading IXC I would like to keep mine rather than sell.

Preferably I would like to keep them off line in a paper wallet somewhere secure.

Does anyone know a way to do this in a windows environment as I'm not hugely proficient with unix?

Anyone? - Or even a Linux wallet would be fine. I'll just have to figure it doing an install on a virtual machine or something...

Hey...

Yeah, it is completely lame that Vircurex has decided to discontinue IXC.
That is why it is important to install the compatible wallet for each crypto-coin one uses.

I do not personally use Windows, so I cannot help you with that.
However, I do know a little UNIX and have installed the IXC wallet onto my Linux (Ubuntu). I posted about the process here:

Apparently the daemon is missing the GUI and a .conf file, but this can be easily remedied.

Thanks! I will look into this.

Once you have the coins in a wallet.dat you could dump it using pywallet (https://github.com/joric/pywallet) which is a Python script (no compiling needed). This will give you a json file with all the public and private key information.

I don't think printing a JSON file as-is is a good paper wallet, but it's easy to process from there and at least you have everything in text format, which may be easier to interpret in the future than a wallet.dat of an ancient BDB version.

What a great solution!

Good news, folks!
Vircurex have changed their minds, obviously:

9 Apr 2013 - IXCoin trading
Some confusion has arisen with us first stopping and then reinstating IXC. This message is to confirm that IXC trading will continue.

In addition to that, doublec's mining pool is going to do IXC merge mining again, see
http://mmpool.bitparking.com/

2013-04-09: Generation of ixcoin rewards for pool users is re-enabled now that Vircurex is open again. Pool reserves are still low so ixcoin reward payment is at 50% until the pool catches up to break-even again. The pool is currently 200,000 ixcoin behind that.
