I hear you.  Better Fungibility is another huge [crucial] benefit which comes from all the coins being fully mined. 

And iXcoin, Bitcoin's Twin, can definitely be the next Bitcoin everyone missed out on. 

Which is why I've been sending out ~ The Signal! For 3 years now.  Nobody can deny not having heard of iXcoin or the chance to buy it for nothing.  Bitcoin never gave that to Cryptoworld. 

[Vlad2Vlad]

So no issues or rebuttals from the community about dropping the Coin from iXcoin?

Great!!!

We'll get that done for ya!

And I already have a nice meme in mind to propagate the change but I need to buy a nice sword first.  That's gonna take some creative financial engineering. 

Cheers!

id say wait until we're up and running for a while on coinimi before making changes.

Anybody know how much longer for coinimi?  I'm thinking another week, maybe 2.  Can't wait for a secure mobile wallet. 

That's a beautiful sword, by the way.  Pretty much what I had in mind design-wise.

~ One week (with the version 1.6.3)

One week is good.  That should be good enough to do something.  Maybe.

Thx, Deadsea33.

I'm actually not too kraizi about dropping the 'coin' from iXcoin.  I see it as causing confusion, especially since older posts are going to reference iXcoin and many in the community may keep the full name.  Will the exchanges change?  Plus we may get blow back from people thinking we're posing as a new coin.  But the biggest reason to keep the name the same is to show consistency.

[kraizi]

I know iXcoin hasn't exactly had great public reception to date, but I think its day will come.  

I would describe events to date like so...

Since the altcoin creation boom began we've been in an era of 'crypto innovation'.  At this time many people look only for very innovative new coins.  Those with unique algorithms, more anonymity, smart contracts, or that ether stuff.  These are the enthusiasts who are investing at this time.

Eventually, probably within 1-2 years, I think we will see a different breed of investors, more from the general masses, not the enthusiasts.  Those who want safety.  Those who are escaping their fiat currencies, and they will come in much larger numbers.  As world economies grow shakier the altcoin world will serve as a great refuge for personal savings.  We've already seen countries like Cyprus, Greece, Puerto Rico and others on the brink of bankruptcy.  I'm expecting more in the future, and with fewer bail outs.  Our time is actually unique because there exists these crypto life boats that people can escape to.  Past citizens were doomed to sink with their own country's currency and economic plight.  

When investors start looking more toward safety than innovation the likes of iXcoin will become more popular.  iXcoin isn't experimenting with risky new ideas.  It uses a time tested design.

At least that's my theory and I'm sticking with it

IXC - The Real Deal

[Thenoticer]

Ixcoin has a big advantage by being a bitcoin clone. One example;

The iguana project by jl777 is a drop in replacement for bitcoind. It is also a multi coin wallet with decentralized trading. Ixcoin will be very easy to add to this wallet. Ixcoin will even be easier to add then litecoin and namecoin.

A big selling point should be, if bitcoin can do it, so can ixcoin.

In actuality:  If Bitcoin can do it, then IX can do it better.

IX really is a better payment system.

Yes, and eventually Bitcoin will become too big, cumbersome and expensive.  It's block chain is already pushing 80 GB.  And how much more can devs increase the transaction rates? 

So where is a good place to turn if you don't want to loose all the Bitcoin plugins... the Bitcoin clone.

This is a material event so I have to announce it.

CEX.io is looking to dump their IXC.  It's a massive block, 600,000 IXC.

That's not the biggest problem cause I can probably find buyers.  The problem is that if they're dumping their IXC then there is a high probability that they'll switch off their miners which would kill IXC.  Ixcoin's main advantage is its security which would be reduced to zero if we lose CEX.

This is very serious so use caution.

details?

reasons?

No.  They informed me personally to give the foundation the first chance to buy the block so they don't destroy the market.

[Vlad2Vlad]

reasons?

No real details.  The only reason is that they're dumping their "excess" coins. 

One has to assume that at 2 cents, that if CEX.io, who has mined hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins, is looking to dump for maybe $12,000 then they have perhaps abandoned iXcoin.  $12,000 is not money to any pool unless they believe they're selling worthless rocks.  This of course would mean that after they dump they will switch off their miners, killing IXC. 

We may be able to find another pool to pick up IXC but so far I haven't had any luck. 

I was worried this might happen but I'm really shocked and depressed it's actually happening now. 

[edgar]

if theyre concerned they might destroy the market, why would they switch off miners?

its a bit iffy..

isnt ixc merged anyway, and therefore tied in with other mining?
