Ixcoin TODO

[Dexter44]

I would include a reference to IXCoin colored feature in your logo. Is it possible? Something like a multicolored edge (something like mincoin). Otherwise a multicolored X (instead of the two lines) in the center representing the iXcoin multicolored function.
In any case, without something visibly linking to iXcoin, it will seem just another coin. Anybody agrees?

That's a really good idea.

Right now I'm trying to see if anyone will bid a decent amount for it but if I can't sell it and we do use it then that's definitely what I'll do.

If I can sell just 1 domain I'll plow that money into development and PR's in helping move iXcoin to the next level.

Does this means ixcoin press release will suffer of a delay?

No, my plans are separate, on top of everyone's efforts.

So no, the plans and releases Friction had in place still stand.  A PR should go out this Monday I think and then he's got another planned for the following week I think.

Any money I can raise from domain sales will be on top of all that.  I want to push iXcoin in a certain direction, economically, and that's what I need the money for.  Friction is pushing it via tech and I'm trying to do it via finance and economics since this is a tech/currency hybrid so both issues should be addressed.

I just tweeted Elon Musk about the TeslaCoin.com domain sale, picture and everything.  I wonder if a guy like that really takes the time out of his busy day to really read and respond to tweets.

I wish I could see his face the instant he sees my tweets about the domain sale.

What's his response gonna be:

A)  Confusion as to why bitcoin has had hundreds of alts coin scam babies?

B)  Realization that maybe alt coins are truly catching on and disbelief that nobody in his boardroom saw it coming so now he's gotta pay some punk big money for the domain?

C)  Or maybe he's gonna take one look, get a really good laugh (which will hopefully at least make his day) then try to forget he ever saw my tweet.

Either way, feels great to have written him. I hope he at least sees the tweets and the domain pic I worked so hard to make presentable.

An X across the I instead of two parallel lines does make sense to me. No idea whether it would look good but an I and an X combined seems to make logical / monogram (multigram? bigram?) sense.

Man, that's a cool idea.  My friend took off already but I'll have him do a version like that.  I think it would look good but I'm not sure if it will look like a currency at first sight.

But for the purpose of iXcoin and the colored coin experiment it would be perfect.

Thanks for your input.

Hey Vlad, just wondering what are your plans on short term?

[Vivisector999]

Wow that is odd.  There are 3 coins named Tesla coin all coming out this week.

[nfigueir]

I though to have a go at a logo for the TeslaCoin...

Yup... pretty much it.  Let me focus on the tech. 

There's still a lot of marketing and business dev. work that needs to be done.

[mobile]

Shocking.

-MarkM-

Why? It's simple and interesting. I used red just so it stands out cause the picture is busy.

I needed a pic to put on eBay but now I can't cause it's saying my max limit is $5,000.  That's a joke.  And they wanted $50 for a reserve.

So I don't know how to list this thing cause I definitely want to auction it for a lot more than $5,000.  Or At least try.

Max is $5000, WTF?  But now that you mentioned it, yeah, there is a $5000 a month limit. But that doesnt make sense because people sell automobiles all the time on ebay. Im curuious now in how you get that 5K limit raised. At any rate, Ive been following this thread closely and thought that i would chime in. Lucrative domain names that you have there. I wouldn't let that specific domain go too cheap.

My max is a lot higher than that. I have an equivalent of 50k dollars allowance per month. Unfortunately I'm also banned from listing anything crypto with a warning to have my account removed for sale of digital goods.

eBay car sales work differently from the regular eBay listings.

I know,  I bought my BMW 5 series on eBay a couple years ago and it definitely did cost more than $5,000.

I am really confused. It seems to me the final result will be the promotion of zenithcoin, teslacoin, i0coin, edisoncoin, mcdonaldcoin, cinderellacoin....

you need to explain a bit here of what you mean.

iXcoin will be able to create new coins that are secure.  To create these new coins, you have to acquire iXcoin.  To transfer any of these coins, you need to pay a IXC transaction fee.

Each of these coins may have a value that is completely different for the value of IXC.

Let's look at NameCoin as an example.  You need to buy NMC to create a new domain.   The value of each domain is independent of the price of NameCoin.

The entire point of a coin with value is to create one that provides enough of a differentiator that it creates demand for the coin. 

Most coins right now,  the only value is to provide a cheaper way to mine as compared to Bitcoin or Litecoin.  Long term, they don't have value because they don't provide functionality any different from Bitcoin.

Currently on the IXCoin website there are two wallet options.

1. iXcoin 0.3.24.3
2. iXcoin 0.8.6

The second one carries with it a warning that it is still being tested.

I have two questions

1. I see FrictionlessCoin is working on developing the wallet and some other areas but is he working alone as a developer?

2. Which is the recommended wallet for download and use? And what is the future plans for encrypted wallets?

0.3.24.3 is the legacy wallet and his around for 2 1/2 years,  this is your safe bet.
0.8.6 was just created recently and like any other software requires some time to mature.  So far it works without any issue that I have found.

I have other developers who build the QT client.  Right now I am waiting on one of them to release the Windows QT binaries.

0.8.6 already encrypts wallets.  0.8.6 has all the functionality of the latest Bitcoin client.

We have important things on schedule now risking to be overlooked:
- convince CEX.io, once their beta testing is finished, to add IXC trading: open an account, send your request, deposit some IXC just to encourage the trading
- start selling IXCoin on ebay
- promote IXC on forums, with video, chatting on CEX.io, contacting shops to add IXC, try to find a common ground of development with other teams, etc.
- windows client
- effective press releases
- convince BTC-e to welcome back
- convince BTC38 to add iXcoin
- decide the final logo
- create a better website with professional multi language platform
- etc...

I want to add to your list,  have coindesk write an article about iXcoin.   Identify other news sources to publish about iXcoin.

Folks,  we really have a good story here once NUCD comes out. 

Like everything of value it takes time to develop. 

[Dexter44]

Ok, I'll do it.
Question: have you not already an agreement with coindesk about an article on IXC?

As good start: is there anyone available to put updated info about iXcoin on Wikipedia?
A volunteer please. Not even on Wikipedia after almost 3 years: what a shame. Let's make this shame end.
Who is the brave one?

When this task is assigned to someone, I will let You know the next one. Waiting.....

Thankx
