Ixcoin TODO

[Vlad2Vlad]

I was never away anyway ;-)

@Edgar

still waiting for the first coin too. Just courious to see it work. I promise I'll return it back or send it to the ixc donation address.

You've been around since 2011 but looks like you've been busy. 

You guys don't have to return the coins - it's an IX giveaway.  Now if you're already large holders, then by all means, do feel free to send whatever your heart allows to the donation address. 

Cheers!

I will make a video on how to setup a paper wallet as I get home. I've tried it and I think it will be to complicated for non techy pepople. I think it could be something like this:

1. run a virtual machine from a usb stick (for advanced security disconnect all hdd)
2. install your printer without to connect to the internet ( pc has to be phisically disconnected from any network, wifi too!)
3. make and print paper wallet(s)
4. erase any traces of the process left in the computer (clear memory...)
5. import private key to existing wallet

The video will be a fool proof steb by step tutorial. Anyone has any suggestions on what to add? And one last question: anybody willing to offer her/his personal voice for the video? A "her" would be much appreciated.

I badly need something secure but paper wallets instinctively make me feel like I'm taking high risk.  But I'd like to see a video - would be a good way to at least diversify one's holdings to lower the risk of total loss (again).

We have a woman on-board:  Paging CINNAMON!!!

She's a bit on the shy side but I'm sure she'd be excited to lend us her voice.  I know I'm excited about the project.

paper wallets instinctively make me feel like I'm taking high risk.

May I ask why?

[Vlad2Vlad]

May I ask why?

I'm the kind of guy you may ask anything.

I said instinctively because I don't fully understand why. 

For one I'd have to erase the memory on my printer since it's connected to wifi and [historically] my router gets spoofed 24/7 by unknown parties.  Then I'd have to constantly worry about the fact that my billions of dollars are sitting on an easily destructible, bio-degradable storage device, a water/heat sensitive piece of paper.

Then there's the problem where I forget where I put my wallet which is why I haven't carried a wallet in over a decade.  lol

And of course, anybody can break into my chateau/castle and just take it [after waterboarding me and rearranging my pretty face]. 

Other than that I instinctively feel pretty good about the whole idea.

See, thats why I want to make this video. To clear up some things... Anyway for all who don't allready know that:

IF YOU WANT TO SECURE SOMETHING OR HAVE SOMETHING VALUABLE IN DIGITAL FORM, STAY THE F**K AWAY FROM THE INTERNET!!!

In my career I've seen it all. All things got hacked/cracked/bruteforced/reversed/cloned/emulated/stolen/... There's not a single electronic device I can think of that cant be hacked this days. Its only a matter of time and money. Smart cards of military grade for example. Just google around a little bit. So, to come back to the point. You mentioned you have a wifi printer? Stay away from it!

I've googled a little bit and found some cheap gear in my area. A working inkjet printer fo as little as 15€ and an old working notebook for 25. A quality (real) leather wallet costs more. You can use the gear only one time and then destroy it or use it exclusively for paper wallets. But one more time: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT INTERNET PHISICALY / STAY AWAY FROM THE INTERNET!

Just my 2 cents.

Paper Wallet Generator

December 29, 2014



The Walletgenerator.net Team ( walletgenerator.net ) made an offiline wallet for Ixcoin. You can create one too following these instructions:



CREATE A PAPER WALLET

Download github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net/archive/master.zip

NOW GO OFFLINE, BE SURE YOUR PC HAS NO MALWARE OF ANY KIND

Unzip it, click on "index.html"

Move your mouse around to generate random characters

Click on the right on "Choose currency", choose "iXcoin"

In "Single Wallet" click on "Generate new Address" : you will get:

-Public Address

-Secret Private Key

Print the Wallet and keep it in a safe place.

SEND COINS TO YOUR PAPER WALLET

Now send coins (start with a few if you are not sure) to your "Public Address"

Wait 10 minute and check if now this amount can be seen in the blockchain:

iXcoin Blockchain

You should be able to see it. Now they are in your paper wallet (they are in the blockchain, in reality).



REDEEM YOUR COINS (when ir will be neccessary or just to test the system)

How will you redeem your IXC in the future?

Download the last iXcoin QT wallet, sync the blockchain.

Now in the iXcoin QT wallet, go to "Help", then "Debug Window", "Console"

Write:

walletpassphrase "mywalletpassphrase" 600

("mywalletpassphrase"= it's the password of your QT-wallet, if you set one)

(600=seconds the encryption of the wallet will be disabled)

Then write:

importprivkey "mysecretprivatekey" "nameofthewallet"

("mysecretprivatekey" = it's the Secret Private Key you have previously generated)

("nameofthewallet" = just a name you give to the wallet)

With this last operation you didn't transfer coins, you simply added the address (used before as paper wallet) to your iXcoin QT wallet.

WARNING: never show your Secret Private Key to everybody. The only way to invalidate the old private key is transferring all the coins to a new address.

Thats exactly what I'm talking about. I've used it and it works, but we need a step by step video, which even an old grandma understands. But beat me, I can't remember with which version of the client I've imported the keys. Will post it next week.

P.s. do we need a special permission from walletgenerator.net for including their site in our video? Or is mentioning the source enough?

[Vlad2Vlad]

What does that mean?  This is crypto - it's all open source [just mention the spirit of Satoshi].  Like the banner in my sig line, I saw it, I liked it so I took it, err, hacked it. 

We gotta keep it real in cryptoworld, brother.  At least until the patent lawyers come charging in. 

Thanks for the paper wallet advice, I may give it a try after I get the necessary gear.

Wow, he made the rich list with 21 coins.

There is hope for me after-all.  lol

Seriously, who wouldn't like to have gotten 10 or 20 free bitcoins?

[Vlad2Vlad]

I don't know how you guys feel about Charlie Shrem but I like him.

Therefore, I'm huntin' me some Shrem. 

As for Blockstream and its best core devs.  Ummm, I'm still working on ruining them and robbing them blind.  lol

Good news is I've had some real actual convos but haven't closed any deals.  Kinda hard when Bitcoin is at $670 and IX is at 5 pennies. 

Gonna have to remedy that issue soon!!!

[zrataj]

Just to confirm coinomi is working flawlessly. Very good work to all involved. I've tried to involve some friends but unfortunately most of them use an iphone. But how does it go, you can't have a rainbow without rain ;-)

I've got an iPhone too.  Hoping to get an android soonish [just for the Coinomi app].

Good to see more people coming in.

[Guitarr]

Thanks for the IXC Vlad2Vlad.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Thanks for the IXC Vlad2Vlad.

Thank the community, brother, it's mostly their coins.

Glad to have a new holder & community member.

Nowadays it's all difficult, even to distribute money for free.

I hate to say it. But sometimes I don't even pick a penny off the ground. Sometimes not even a dime. So for these systems you need to dl and install software just to get a dime. Well, you get my point.

Deadsea and I have discussed that very point.  A plan of attack is already in motion.  Let's see if it works.  It won't be cheap but it will be well worth it.

Hi guys its me again. Does somebody know a source to get ixcoins direct for cash or cc? There's a lot of interest but its still to complicated for the average joe to buy them. I thought for a ebay like, where you can simply buy anything with a CC, but there are other problems. Any idea?

 

[zrataj]

Hmm. I've checked with ebay. Seems there should be no problem although I'm still reading trough the ToS. Anybody has a seller acc on ebay?
