gg?  Who or what is that?

Wow, thanks for the tech info. I didn't know any of that.  So then, is i0Coin alive now?  Is there a dev in charge?  How many total coins will there be?  I don't really know anything about i0Coin to be honest.  If there's a main thread and if it's live then I'd see if I can find more info.   Thanks again.

Hi Vlad2Vlad,

I'm the new I0coin maintainer. More info can be found at:

I have 15K of these too 

A couple of months ago I was completely convisnded ixcoin and i0coin are dead, but look what happens now

rsnel, GeistGeld is getting to need over 16 gigs of RAM or thereabouts, would you be able to upgrade it with I0Coin's nice new stuff so that all of a suddent it too will fit in little RAM and thus be accessible to many more people? There would be a lot of XGG in it for you if you can because the more RAM it takes the less people left who have enough RAM to run it, its difficulty is thus pretty darn low. So you can pick up oodles of them easy and likely improve their value a lot by doing such an update.

A trouble with Ixcoin is it has been merged mined all along so has pretty much always been too high difficulty for small miners. I0Coin went purportedly-dead a nice long time allowing small miners a long time to mine it, GeistGeld has always been low difficulty so has always been a haven for small miners. If you can update it, maybe large miners will still claim it is dead and not bother with it, so maybe we can get it back to small enough RAM for small miners to be able to fit it in their RAM again, and give them thus maybe quite a while longer to mine it again.

So really then, there's no real way for a coin to completely die, in absolute terms?

This is news to me.  So as long as people held to their i0Coin coins then even though i0Coin died 3 times they would now still have their coins.

Do you remember how you paid for the i0Coins?  Was it the same as the ixCoins?  I'm trying to figure out how much I should pay for i0Coins.  Thanks.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Who's been buying ixCoin?  Price is up 30% in 4 days.

I told some people on Cryptsy about it and one guy said he was gonna buy 300,000-500,000 coins but I told him to buy slowly.  This can't be one guy.  I wanted to add another 50,000 coins but now I have to wait.  Man, I hope the price goes back down.

Where is the current recommended GeistGeld client? Is it https://github.com/Lolcust/GeistGeld ?

I can at least do the 'dirty fix', see how much memory it saves and run it myself (I do not have enough memory to run the 16G client...). The only thing it breaks is the 'getheaders' command, which is not used by Satoshi clients. Maybe it is easier to port i0coin-0.8.3-1 (the updated version without the hardforking changes) to geist. Will see.

I concurr with your assessment.  Run with it.

@markm:

I compiled GeistGeld from https://github.com/Lolcust/GeistGeld (with the included geist.conf) and your node (dvcstable02) doesn't want to talk to me:

Code:

trying connection dvcstable02:7769 lastseen=-0.9hrs lasttry=-383025.6hrs
connected dvcstable02:7769
sending: version (85 bytes) 
socket recv error 104
disconnecting node dvcstable02:7769

Any idea why this happens?

Could it just be my geistgeldd dying? It gets restarted but takes hours to re-scan before it is usable.

It runs until it runs out of RAM then gets killed by the kernel to make room for other things.

I have opened port 7769 in my firewall, in the hope that someone will connect to me.

Edit: success: I got a working connection

With BTC on doublec exchange I believe.

Sorry.  I meant, how MUCH, did you pay for i0Coin.  Thanks.

When will the Ixcoin client be updated to support wallet encryption and maybe a newer sleeker interface like Bitcoin-QT and I0Coin?

Can't they just pretty much copy and paste code from Bitcoin and i0Coin and make it a top notch coin with little programming?  That's my impression.

And I still find it odd that the founder came back and is totally silent.  Why come back?  Something is up - but how much does he need to accumulate of he's quiet in order to buy cheaper ixCoins?

I bought over 300,000 ixCoins with little issue, he could have bought 3 million if he wanted to.
