Ixcoin TODO

[Slingshot]

 Please some one help is needed. And Thanks in advance!


 I cannot find anywhere in the Qt Client for IXcoin to encrypt the IXcoin Wallet.

 I must be stupid but for the life of me I can't find it for IXcoin. I never had a problem with the many other Qt clients but this one is baffling me.


 Sure the GUI front end is quite different from most other Qt's but still it's all right there, or so it would seem?


 Surely it has an encrypt-able wallet? I mean it's gotta have that feature, right?

  Where o where should I be looking?



 I couldn't even find the menu tab or whatever to backup the wallet so I resorted to going to the AppData/roaming/IXcoin folder and manually backing it up. But before I dare import a load of IXcoins I recently obtained I need to encrypt that IXcoin wallet first!

 Again, Thanks in advance to whoever takes the time and responds with a viable answer. I really appreciate the assist.

It's an old client and I don't think it has encryption.  I'm in the same boat.

I'm curious, how many ixCoins do you hold.  Second guy in 1 day.  What's happening, I used to be all alone.  lol

 Please don't tell me it doesn't have wallet encryption? What were they thinking? O wait they were not doing too much of that I suppose.

 Anyway's thanks if that's correct>? (no wallet encryption)>

 Yes, I grabbed a handful of IXcoin at Cryptsy recently. I suppose I can take it all into cold storage but I don't like that idea of it not having wallet encryption at all.


 if true (no wallet encryption)> that would be a major shock.

 Someone needs to add that to the top of the TODO LIST asap!

why wouldn't IOCoins >>> then Ixcoin

eg IOCoin zero premine, good GHZ, better client now 8.x, also it doubled just recently in value.

It sure would be nice if the developers of IXcoin would add wallet Encryption to their QT client!

Lol, these devs have up and pulled a Satoshi.  Good sign actually.  If you're gonna choose a coin to take over for yourself or for an ETF, the best thing would be one which is abandoned, just like Bitcoin was.  Eerie similarity to match all the other similarities with Bitcoin.

But if they do an update, how about updating to the newest Bitcoin revs, the current QT is like 2 years behind.

[Vlad2Vlad]

This is a hilarious graph posted by someone else just now on a different thread.

Look at that giant spike, that was me - single handedly, running that experiment last month.

It looks pretty crazy when you see it on a graph.  lol.

Can someone explain to me the significance, if any, of ixCoin having its own separate blockchain?

I mean, don't all clones have a separate blockchain?  Doesn't i0Coin?  Thanks!

Speaking of Blockchains, InstaMining, and Premines, plus whatever else does and doesn't make a long term successful crypto-currency.

 I recently found this very helpful site below that many others may find very helpful in determining which
crypto-currencies have the best qualities, and most fair starts, as well as most fair mining rates throughout their mining period.

um blockchains are just the database ledger for that coin, that can be moved by private sigs


iocoin is like ixcoin, but with out the pre-mine.

[markm]

Bitcoin itself did not have encrypted wallet back when Ixcoin was created.

The codebase to update from is the I0Coin code, because it would be stupid to upgrade without fixing the massive-RAM-use problem that all the merged coins except I0Coin still have.

yet another good reason to buy IOcoin, while its cheap!

[jubalix]

Question: ixcoin has a reward of 96 per block (now we are at block 166488) max 21.000.000 coins.
What about iocoin: what is the reward per block (now we are at block 925989), and the total amount of coins?

hmmm 925989 looks out

[Vlad2Vlad]

I'm now past 500,000 ixCoins.   Over 50 BTC invested, all purchased.  This is now getting ridiculous.  Time for a new hobby.

[Vlad2Vlad]

To the guy who said why not buy i0Coin which is much cheaper.

There's nothing mysterious or interesting about i0Coin.  It's died 3 times to ixCoin's ZERO, which is strange given ixCoin had a premine, was abandoned and i0Coin is an ixCoin clone. 

And finally, ixCoin has an interesting name, forward and backwards (ixc and cxi) while there's something terribly lame with i0, it gives the feeling of something missing or undesirable.

So I'd rather stick to my initial theory and my top choice, ixCoin. 

But I seriously have to stop buying ixCoin, I'm in so much now and it's just too much to risk on one coin, one idea, one theory.  I may hold some BTC since that's much safer given I'm still sure the ETF is still coming soon.

I'm now past 500,000 ixCoins.   Over 50 BTC invested, all purchased.  This is now getting ridiculous.  Time for a new hobby.

I also put all my money into cryptocoins. I am sure many of them will grow even more than bitcoin (of course they will not be $200 but when XPM or Ixcoin grow skyhigh again it could be 100,000% earning)
Today I am selling bitcoin and buying more altcoins because of significant pricedrop.
I bought significant stake in Securecoin, Quarkcoin, Litecoin and Primecoin. I am sure these coins evaluate much in next half year.

Today people were dumping all altcoins because bitcoin grew only a few $$.
but in long term this low price of altcoins attract money that are flowing around and all these money will want to buy IxCoin, XPM, ADT, pennies, quarkcoin, securecoin, iFC and all usefull coins.

Selling Ixcoin at these days is very unwise.
People should be holding this coin it will grow in value at least 10 times soon.
according to marketcap, it goes constantly higher and higher. I wouldnot be surprised if some significant price growth happened before Xmas.

I too have a feeling there's something around the corner - Dec-Jan, something explosive for Bitcoin (probably the ETF) and also some explosive growth of 1-2 other alt coins.

Find the right coin and you can make millions in the next year or so.

[Vlad2Vlad]

A new record for ixcoin: difficulty above 70 millions, mining close to 1 million.

100 Tera Hash?  Wow!!!

This is why it's so hard to accumulate this coin.  Thousands of miners get this coin in small batches.  This is a great thing, a well distributed coin.  Well, except for the few a-holes who accumulated like over 2% of the entire 21 million. 

[Vlad2Vlad]

I'm shocked that not a single person has noticed that ixCoin has [once again] kept up with Bitcoin's massive run while most other coins have been cut in half [again] in just 1 week.

And there has been no hype so ixCoin has some inherent positive correlation tied directly to Bitcoin.  Very strange cause it can't be just the merged mining as other merge mined coins are not displaying the characteristics and the same feat.

There is something afoot with ixCoin.  It's still under 2 USD cents so it's not too late to accumulate a few thousand coins in case I'm right.  Don't bother mining it, it would take most mining rigs a few years to mine just a few thousand ixCoins.

Good luck!
