Ixcoin TODO

[JohnnyBTCSeed]

Ok, so the bounty needs to be paid in Ix.

hmmm, just did the math.

So, 20,000 ix  ~ $1258 at todays prices

That is actually kinda fair. 

I think we as a community can do this.

Friction, get a plan and some code in place and dangle it in front of us like a carrot and we'll pony up the rest of the bounty no problem.   

[JReag]

This is Reag.

I'm looking to secure more IX for myself and would gladly donate 250 ixc to the current donation pool needed for updates. I'll also pitch in some for the work Cinnamon did as well.

Are we still taking nominations for the IXC foundation or are other matters more pressing at the moment?

[Vlad2Vlad]

I like the merged mining.  I'll add 10,000 IXC to the bounty for the Ixcoin client upgrade.

You guys are forgetting about the above 10,000 IXC donation.  That's 15,000 IXC now.

Should be enough for Friction to get started on counterparty.

But we need a deadline on this. The last update should have taken a couple weeks and it literally took 5 months and people complained about problems with the client for weeks after that.

Friction, can you give is an accurate timeframe of how long this update will take?

And what about colored coins? Is that still something we want? If we're gonna go to the huge pools to ask them to update IXC, we should do one massive upgrade so they won't have to do any other updates for us for a long time.

So let's make this update as advanced as possible. We can make IXC the most advanced coin on earth and then everyone will shut up about features.

I think you misrepresent what happened.  I came up with the new code and it took like 5 months to collect the bounty.

Look at the check in times in the GitHub repo.  https://github.com/FrictionlessCoin/iXcoin

mmpool.org can donate the remaining 10,000 IXC to help improve ixcoin. Friction, can you provide an ixcoin address and I'll send the coins.

sounds good,  however we still have to fix that crashing problem that you currently have.  Let me know what you've found.

It hasn't crashed yet since the change but I haven't seen a filtering message yet. I'm monitoring the logs and when I get one of these without a crash following I think we can safely assume it is fixed.

Okay,  I'll work on the CounterParty port.

Interesting to see some work on IXcoin.

[FrictionlessCoin]

Interesting to note the trends of various Alt-coins.  Here is the latest score board from coinmarketcap.  What you will notice that many more *popular* coins are all trading now below IXC valuation.


 Ixcoin  $ 1,073,723
 Devcoin $ 639,112
 Anoncoin $ 587,756
 Terracoin $ 474,515
 Digitalcoin $ 423,759
 NetCoin    $ 365,395
 Freicoin    $ 357,912
  Mincoin   $ 223,876
 SecureCoin $ 199,972
 TagCoin     $ 165,921
 BitBar        $ 131,480
 Philosopher Stones  $ 116,143
 Yacoin       $ 105,763
 EarthCoin  $ 62,701

There still a lot more coins that I have never heard of.  The reality is,  many of these coins will come and go, however IXC will likely be around for a very long time.

[Vlad2Vlad]

I think Vlad can give us an updated picture of the situation.

Maybe something like this. Vlad, enlighten us.

That looks great but a few issues.

We've got some really shy people around here.

Luke, Friction and Thomas have never responded to repeated offers.

Well, luke finally did answer saying it's too early, and IXC is not ready for a board so I'm thinking that may mean a no but I'm not sure.  I responded to luke that a board is a formal structure of leadership and direction and that's exactly what IXC needs to help get it moving.

Also, no response from Jeffrey yet.  I will try reaching him via a different address.

If Friction and Thomas can give us a response, it would be all grown up and nice. A no is ok, just give an answer, please.

Finally, can you put cinnamon on my right side.  No biggie, just a thing.  Haha!

Oh, and deadsea33, I don't see you at table.  We should have 9 seats, and if necessary we can go to 13, but I don't think that will be needed.

I am trying find a lawyer to join us but it's not easy, crypto world is full of techies and little else.  We're still in the early phases and I'm already seeing good forward momentum since we got a but more organized, so no need to rush to fill the seats, the right people will show up just as they have so far.

But I would like everyone who has been nominated to respond or else I'll take the silence as a no. That way we know what seats we have available moving forward.

Thanks to everyone!

It just goes to show that Ixcoin has support when it counts.
Were not nearly near the top yet though.

Happy Birthday to iXcoin

iXcoin just celebrated its 3rd birthday.  4/29/2011 was the date of the genesis block.  It's grown a lot in three years... obtaining a huge hash rate, a recent major update, a growing core of  followers, and a coalescing foundation.  May the next year be even better.  We could see the integration of Counterparty, Native User Defined Currencies (colored coins), and more.

The same 'filtered block' line (but different hash) in the last crash too. Perhaps something wrong with whatever filtered block handling is?

CMerkleBlock is used for filtered nodes. It holds a CBlockHeader. This is assigned in CMerkleBlock::CMerkleBlock using GetBlockHeader. This function doesn't copy the auxpow field. This is possibly why the null pointer accessing auxpow occurs. Possible fix:

Code:

diff --git a/src/main.h b/src/main.h
index bd21fe9..1221a88 100644
--- a/src/main.h

Thanks!  Keep us informed.

The pool got a filtered block request today and didn't crash. I think this confirms the fix works. I've done a pull request for it.

I am not meaning to rain on your parade but your foundation is forgetting one major problem with bringing back Ixcoin and it happens to be the three most feared letters in the alphabet for alts, BCX. BCX shit all over IXC several times when it launched in 2011 51'ing it several times and literally attacking and double spending all the exchanges that traded the coin as well any site that accepted it. Not only did he double spend the Bitparking Exchange, he posted the wallet address in his signature just to taunt the owner moving the coins around for show. The owner eventually just shut it all down. BCX is the very reason it died and went dormant. You might want to send a PM or two.

Huh?

You want me to ask BCX's permission?

I've got 11 letters for you:

Bahahhaaaaa.


See, people really [STILL] do NOT yet understand the meaning of a secure coin and the fact that's what really counts in this open source world and not features which can be taken from anyone, FOR FREE.

I will pay BCX cash money if he can attack and fork IXC.

Here's a hint for you:  He's gonna need around $300,000,000.  No, that's not a typo.

So don't you worry, nobody is gonna fork or kill IXC.

And finally, and for the LAST TIME, iXcoin has NEVER died.

Hi,

I would like to start a small contest (just for fun).
Make the proposal for an animal representing iXcoin. Possibly not a dog.
Any idea? I got one but I just wait for yours.
Come on! A funny animal. Send the picture and let's connect it with IXC.
Maybe we could take away the boriness from this coin.

Alright now that's something I can get in on.

1. Aardvark
2. Snark

and I'd nominate that mythical creature that only exists when you don't believe it exists but I can't remember the name.

Well obviously is should be an IbeX
