Also, it sounds to me like that Ixian guy wasn't successful, given the past tense.  So it sounds like that may not be a viable strategy

I really am sorry that this coin isn't what you think it should be.  But hey, the source is on github

Well Ixcoin itself is doing very well because it is merged mined on a few pools so its difficulty is not too insanely low.

But the big problem thie Ixian guy has of course is third parties printing "his civilisation's coin".

I expect the Fed would have similar problems if every mint in the world could print dollars, not just their own mint.

Basically if you try to back the coins being dumped by all the people mining them and dumping them you are liable to go broke.

Or another way of looking at the same problem is that blockchains are insanely expensive, even if you use merged mining.

100% of the coins, plus transaction fees, all go to miners. That really doesn't leave any reason for any nation to consider using a blockchain, they don't even get any of "their" coins, they are paying over 100% of all their money to the miners!

So yeah obviously the guy was not able to effectively "back" the coins. The most he could do was continue to sell in game stuff for them and offer to buy in game stuff for them. most blockchain coin users do not bother with that kind of thing so IXCoin, GRouPcoin and DeVCoin continue to be the only blockchain-based coins that get used much in the game, GRouPcoins by most groups, DeVCoins because the game development itself favours their use, and IXCoins because of that one guy, who does not even seem to have put together any reasonable size clan or guild or nation or whatever of Ixian people yet let alone actually established an Ixian nation on the Freeciv scale of play.

I managed to make a successful albeit low ball trade of 10,000 GME for a mere 100 BQC, but it was an actual trade!

Can't sync. Any working nodes?

Searching through Miner-TE's post you will see a lot of "bad" nodes. The ones that are "good" are listed below. There are 3 things that you are looking for; "startingheight" (30748-current block number <32615>) , "subver" (/Satoshi:0.6.4/), and "version" (60002).


The conf file should contain-

addnode=92.5.97.30
addnode=108.95.52.13
addnode=208.93.153.89
addnode=149.210.131.122

Thanks,  I've added them to my conf.   Need all the sane nodes we can find.

This node is up and accepting connections ...

[usahero]

Unfortunately adding this node didn't help at all. I have linux and windows wallet, none of them is able to connect. My last downloaded block was 33382.

[Miner-TE]

odd,  I'm experiencing no problems here.

[usahero]

Thanks for your help. Hopefully problem will somehow fix itself in near future. I want more of these cheap coins

[Miner-TE]

Did your problem get resolved?

[PoolMinor]

Just remember, as I've said several times in the previous thread.

Your wallet will claim that it is out of sync with 350k blocks required. Just ignore that. All it means is someone on the network has the LITECOIN blockchain instead of the proper GameCoin blockchain they likely manually placed it there in an attempt to hurt the coin. Your wallet see's that there are a possible 350k blocks and lists your wallet as out of sync. However will not download the incorrect chain.

While you are "out of sync" you're wallet is actually fully up to date, and functional. You are able to send, receive, and mine.

This problem should resolve itself later on down the road as more check points are hit and the person(s) with the incorrect blockchain fix, update, or close their client.


In short, just ignore wallet being out of sync. The network and current checkpoints make it so your client will not download the incorrect blockchain. Unless you are connected to a single node where the person operating the node changes the blockchain then you may experience problems until you get off of that node and re-download the blockchain.

Just a little FYI for those that download the wallet and try to mine for themselves. The wallet sync issue is not real.

You can use this one that I just set up:

It's not as good as tyrion's block explorer but it's better than nothing.
