Hi Deadsea33,

First time caller here. Big fan of your work.

Can you please explain the differences between the two options?

Sincerly yours,
Nasaki0t0

Let's suppose the poll ends in favour of Coinomi / electrum, we have two choices.
If we consider the total cost for the first year, we have:

1 - Ahmed: 2+0.24*12= 4.48 BTC
2 - Coinomi Team*: ~ 3.37+0.67= 4.04 BTC

Which one would you like to choose? Please give your opinion on this.

My opinion? Look at the red numbers: Ahmed makes the work and gets paid once iXcoin is properly integrated in Coinomi, we could use Coinomi servers for electrum. In this way the donations available are enough.

PS The total donation available are now 2.9229 BTC.   Thanks for your donations.

*communication from coinomi team:
"The fee for incorporating iXcoin into Coinomi is $1,500. This covers the implementation fees for the programmer(s) plus the quality assurance performed by out team. The integration will take 2-3 weeks in average and will be automatically ported to other platforms (such as iOS) as they become available. You can either host the electrum servers (min. 2) or we can host them for you for $25/server/month."

im willing to do the coinomi integration in return for BTC

Ahmed

How much?

2 BTC (To cover the IXC Coinomi integration and the Electrum Server, will also include the old electrum client with it too)
and then 0.24 every month (to cover the 2 servers needed to hosting costs for both electrum servers) * a year?

Ahmed

[Vlad2Vlad]

Hahaha, The Nasakiotos are really coming out of the woodwork now. 

Well done...

Ahmed

deadsea,

I like your idea to use Ahmed to integrate iXcoin into Coinomi, then use Coinomi servers for electrum.  That gets us the best price of 2.67 BTC for the whole job.  Although you may want to check with Coinomi to see if their price stays the same for the electrum server hosting if they don't do the integration of iXcoin into Coinomi.  Also, will Ahmed "automatically port to other platforms (such as iOS) as they become available".

Update: the poll is not ended yet, but it seems quite clear the option 'Get on Coinomi and have an Electrum wallet' is going to win. No problem with that: I am not going to use money you gave for something you don't want. A small problem: the update is 400$, get on Coinomi and 1 year payment of the monthly fee to keep electrum running could be a total of 3-4 BTC (donations left are 0.9229 BTC).
Coinomi Team is working on an IOS app (android already released), it would mean to exchange or send/receive/pay right from your phone.

The Coinomi/electrum option is great because it gets us an Android wallet.  This is critical to expand iXcoin's user base.  No coin will flourish without an Android wallet since the real future of crypto will be buying things directly at Point Of Sale (POS) locations.  Android (phone) wallets are the most portable, and are (or will be) used more than Windows for POS transactions.  iOS would fall in the same category as well if you prefer iphones.

Does Coinomi have a Windows wallet?
Does Coinomi get iXcoin back on Shapeshift?

Nope i wont

[Nasakiotoes]

Not fud but reinforcing the roadmap of where ix needs to go. Tldr we need to go ina direction that massively increases the transactions. Things like android wallets def help.

Gentlemen, if I could butt in here..

Ixcoin, clone of bitcoin, has reached end of coin minting as of over a year ago. ix is a good test subject as it is struggling to maintain interest among the exchanges and miners due to not alot of transaction fees and zero coin reward.

Without a block reward, you are correct that the only incentive to be on a longest chain is so your transaction is confirmed unambiguously.

There are still transaction fees to consider (although obviously not in Iota), otherwise you might argue that bitcoin itself would suffer the same fate of diverging consensus, when the block reward expires.

I am proposing a design where the spenders (of transactions) are the miners. Thus if there isn't a lot of transactions, then there won't be much hashrate on the mining.

I have long stated that I am not interested in developing a coin that is distributed to HODLers. I want to distribute a coin directly to typical users of social media and other internet activities.

So my response to you is that a coin without transaction adoption is going to die. Why should it be any other way.

[mrbodz]

IOS part

[kraizi]

IOS part

This is the answer from Coinomi:


"Good to hear that you found a developer to incorporate iXcoin into Coinomi.

Yes, we can provide the hosting for the Electrum servers. We strongly recommend that there are at least 2 Electrum servers running in different physical servers for redundancy, however if you're low in funds you can begin with one and then deploy a second when you get more funds, it's your call. For what it's worth, all coins we host so far have at least 2 Electrum servers running.

Regarding you second question the answer is yes, if we host the Electrum servers for you we will also port the iXcoin integration to other platforms as they become available free of charge."


So, if I got it right, we can give Ahmed the assignment to do what is needed to incorporate iXcoin in Coinomi (2 BTC), once it's done ask Coinomi to host 2 electrum server for 25$/month (~0.67 BTC/year).
If you agree, I would proceed giving Ahmed formal assignment.

REMINDER: get out of Cex.io asap
"Wallets on which the fee will be imposed on January 15th, 2016:
IXC, DVC, POT, ANC, MEC, WDC, FTC, DGB, USDE, MYR, AUR, DRK"
http://blog.cex.io/news/altcoins-removal-and-multipool-suspension-14762

Sure, go for it.

It sounds like we're getting everything we want for the lowest price.

Ahmed does initial iXcoin integration.
Coinomi sets up and manages 2 electrum servers for a year.
Coinomi integrates iOS and other platforms in the future (free of charge).

Ixcoin needs to get listed on another exchange soon. Now there is no active exchange to buy Ixcoin unless you dare to risk your btc by depositing into Cryptsy.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Trying to raise 50,000 IXC to help with development.

PM me if you wanna help out.

Cheers!

[Vlad2Vlad]

Ahmed will start the job on February. If anyone has a problem with that, let us know.
Probably we will have Coinomi wallet at the end of February.
(If you want it in 2-3 weeks, the cost is ~3.4 BTC instead of 2.

I have a serious problem with that.

I'll come up with the difference.

DONE!

This is the best - most generous crypto community in all Cryptopia. 

Raised 50,000 IXC [in under 24 hours], more than all the bitcoins ever donated by all the Bitcoin whales [combined].

Thanks for coming together so quickly and I apologize for not being able to pitch in anything myself this time, but I'm down & out [but not defeated].

Coming right at ya, Deadsea33!

[Vlad2Vlad]

I'm so impressed with everyone, let's go for another 50,000 IXC.

Put all the Bitcoin millionaires to shame!

Hit me!!!

[Nasakiotoes]

Why?

And impressive extra fund raising

I was going to suggest Ahmed take his time to do it right, but I guess you're concerned we don't have an active exchange, so we can't wait.  

If we can raise the extra funds to let coinomi do integration that's fine by me, but we need to decide before February or Ahmed will be in limbo on whether to start work or not.  We shouldn't leave him hanging.

Cause these next month promises always end up getting pushed out again and again.  And we really need to get IXC up there in some way, technically, before crypto pops which I think will come by March.

Thank you, I do like to impress.

It's decided now.  I raised the money but there is an issue with transferring it.  One way or another - I'll make it happen. 

[Vlad2Vlad]

It's not an issue, unless the Cryptsy-goxxed situation is a minor issue.
They left the building, Vlad.

I just saw that.  Looks like Cryptsy is now officially full Gox.  I just lost everything I worked for the past 3 years. EVERYTHING!!!

As for the 50,885 IXC I raised, I literally watched it cross the blockchain in 2 transactions.  I don't think Cryptsy internal txs show on the blockchain but I could be wrong.

Either way, we're not waiting until March for Electrum and Coinoimi. 

Pull the trigger, Deadsea, make the down payment to Coinomi to get things going, and give me a couple weeks to figure out how I'm gonna raise the rest.  I'll get it done somehow!!!

[JPred]

I must be so lucky guys, I've pulled out my last IXC (not much but nonetheless, and the very last coin to extract too) last week and had nothing left in account. Somehow luck is on my side - this time around anyhow. I hope everyone who lost coin can recover somehow and we'll all make it through.
