Ixcoin TODO

[IxCoiner]

The problems isn't the maintenance cost, I can pay that.  The problem is the required skill to build it and manage it, as I don't possess that skill-set.

I don't really agree. A site doesn't have to be 100% from scratch, somebody could use squarespace or wix to get a simple site directing to the necessary downloads up in 5 minutes.

It's whether or not the domain owners want to, that's the issue.

We own plenty of IXC domains - even IxCoin.info so I don't think that would be a problem if we can get someone to build a good site.

Again, my point is the quality of the site is mostly irrelevant, as Kraizi pointed out, litecoin.org is simple as can be yet fully functional. We just need something for people to download the latest release and show we aren't dead.

Vlad2Vlad, yes even someone as incompetent as YOU could build a site with squarespace!

Buying Frictionlesscoin's site ixcoin.co makes for not only an easy upgrade but we get the networking effect of that site existing for so long. It always comes up in an internet search.

Does anyone know how to contact Frictionlesscoins? Vlad you talked to him last. What price did he want for the website?

I don't remember him giving me a price.  And I was afraid to ask.  lol

Ixcoin.co expires in late november.

Maybe someone would want to email the owner of this site as per above link?

Email who?

It's friction - why email him when he's right here.  I doubt he'll let it expire - it's only $12.

Then again....haha.

Even though he hasnt logged in for a month, I sent him a pm to see if he would comment.

Also when you say we own many ixcoin domains, who is the "we" you are referring to?

Remember that IXCoin is just one out of a whole family of merged mined coins, all mined together.

IXCoin and I0Coin help us see what no more mining rewards is like (I0Coin also giving us 1.5 minute blocks instead of the more common 10 minutes per block used by many other familiar coins), GRouPcoin and CoiLedCoin show us what forever mining the same number of coins per block is like, and DeVCoin has the same number minted per block forever while also giving 90% of the coins toward free open source development.

Notice that all of these coins are all free open source, and development of all of them goes together, just like when I0Coin solved the RAM problem and all the other coins then were able to make use of the solution.

So with all these development-needed ideas, you-all should be involved with DeVCoin as well as the rest of the merged mined family.

They all go together, and the funding-of-development department is DeVCoin.

Development proposals should probably be couched in terms of projects that benefit all the merged mined SHA256 coins, and bounties applied for from DeVCoin.

Let us not forget too of course the other members of the family, NaMeCoin which provides domains and aliases and such (usable by various things such as Open Transactions); GeistGeld (XGG) which shows us the bleeding edge of how fast blocks can be, and is so darn fast it might even need slowing down, unless maybe we are just waiting for hardware to catch up or something; and the new member of the family, UNObtanium, which gives us the rare-coin member of the family.

(Keep an eye on HuNTercoin too of course, in case they ever manage to get their merged mining working...)

What is the next move, things are a bit quiet.

What is the next move, things are a bit quiet.

I propose a contest.

A one page website for ixcoin. Or ixcoin and friends.

Community votes on the best one. Winner gets fame and glory and can also post donation address.

What does everyone think about iXcoin lobbying as a payment processor for Bank of America international wires?  Is it too much like making a deal with the devil or just a good business opportunity?

IXC would be ideal for that but I would need leverage to sell them on it and right now I don't have that.  We don't even have the security we had before which was one of the biggest weapons in my arsenal.

We really can't do much if we can't get any support from our partners.  If we get some help I have no problem giving it my best shot.  IXC can do the job and much much more.

I tried reasoning with my head but I'm just the toes and I'm always getting walked on. It looks like we are going to sell ixcoin.org. Sorry folks but we need a new hat.

Starting bid is $500

Hahaha.  I know your sense of humor, very Latin. 

I'll pay $50 since it looks like f2pool and CEX are gonna drop ixCoin mining like they dropped i0Coin.  Just a bad feeling I have cause by now they should have updated to the 9.3 code but they haven't. 

[Nasakiotoes]

Anyone can bid. Just go to ixcoin.org, and click on the link at the very bottom. The lowest it will let you bid is $500.


Vlad, that's the best news I've heard all year. Cex and f2 have kept ixcoin hostage. They don't want to help and it's kept ixcoin in a stalemate forever as the community can't update the code therefore can't build.

Is this a joke?  I too thought the sale of ixCoin.org was just a joke.

How can this be possible?  Why would an early Bitcoin adopter care for $500?  Why sell the domain?  I would bid $500 but I honestly don't have the money. 

I'm gonna be sick.  iXcoin has been a nightmare - it has turned my mind to mush. 

I give up trying to understand what's going on.
