We all do,  and time is money.  I really can't be spending my time developing stuff for IXC without even token compensation.

I already put in my time to upgrade the 3 year old client to the latest version of Bitcoin and creating the current website.

However,  nobody seems to understand the need for development in this community.

The Counterparty port would differentiate IXC from other coins.  However, I need to know if it is worth my effort.  I have other crypto-currency projects that are in the works.

[FrictionlessCoin]

And as for the website.  

Can someone explain this bizarre behavior to me?

.....
Thomas miraculously comes back and commits to pay the bounties he promised [last year] yet he hasn't even paid Luke or Friction yet and has once again vanished for no obvious reason and hasn't even given Luke access to the dot org site.

So we can't even get the website up in the right location because the dev has vanished and so has our supposed number one programmer.  

......
So somebody tell me - what's going on here?  This makes no sense to me.  People who are financially vested and interested in iXcoin refuse to even show up and do a small amount of work to get us to the next level.

This feels like pure stalling or sabotage to me, but why; it makes no sense, we are in a crucial time race so wasting time will only hurt our chances.

Boys, may I say something mad?

Thomas Nasakioto once said he chose a japanese character because he loved it: he knows the japanese culture.
He is known for paying late, or not paying at all....
He is known for having a good knowledge of programming, but not having a university degree.
He was so busy with another project, probably linked to bitcoin, to consider iXcoin just a secondary experiment.

According to his profile, he checked his account last time:
Last Active:   February 24, 2014, 10:40:08 PM

On the 24th of February Nasakioto has been shocked by bad news.

What happened on the 24th? Let me remind you with this quotation:

"On the same day (24th), we found out large discrepancies between the amount of cash held in financial institutions and the amount deposited from our users. The amounts are still under investigation and may vary but they approximate JPY 2.8 billion."

Nasakioto seems to know Magicaltux very well:

You could try contacting MagicalTux on #mtgox on IRC

Let me think...  he likes japanese culture, pays late as habit, without a university degree, knows Magicaltux very well, totally busy from the 24th of February onward, totally unavailable at the moment.....


Nasakioto, if you do not answer, for me you are Mark Karpeles, and this would explain a lot. Show me the opposite.

I will be honest,  when he did show up,  I realized that it was time to sell.  So I have 1/2 of my original IXC position.


Coin will come back up eventially.  All the hash power isn't going to waste.


Anyway, now that I only have 1/2 of my IXC,  I am seeking donations to raise some more IXC.

Dear friends,

I think I am going to abandon this community for good. I have no reason to continue. I'm a small holder, just doing this more out of fun then gain. Well, I don't see any point in continuing this agony.

Vlad, hope you are right, even if I do not believe in magical overnight growth.
FrictionlessCoin: I understand your reasons, no blame at all.
LukeConnell: thank you for your efforts.
Nasakioto: no comment.
Stingy holders: hope your coins will be goxed.

When I'll find a reason to come back, maybe I'll be back.

Take care.

Thanks for your help.  Maybe someday these stingy holders will get their head straight.

Best of luck in your other endeavors!

[Vlad2Vlad]

WTF just happened here?

Everyone just all of a sudden decided to up and leave, and abandon iXcoin all at once.

And even Friction sold half his coins?

Well, this is capitulation.  And I've been around stocks long enough to know what follows.

Dexter,

Your Karpeles theory is interesting.  On one hand I'd hate to think that idiot is behind this coin but then again, he's got deep pockets and he's one clever SOB.

This whole thing is getting more bizarre everyday.

We'll miss you Dexter.  At least DON'T sell.

I already put in my time to upgrade the 3 year old client to the latest version of Bitcoin and creating the current website.

is the port finished? ie. should people be updating already? looking at the source:

* bip16 and bip30 activate 2014-01-1. this is already past. people running the new client could get forked. p2sh transactions are currently unsafe until the majority upgrade. actually the source comment is wrong. it says '2014-01-01' but it is actually 2014-01-02 according to epoch.
* a patch will need to be made for old clients to update lock limits for bdb. without this old clients can be forked if transactions exceeding certain limits happens on new client. this was cause of the dogecoin fork and the bitcoin fork previously.

other than that i assume all is fine?

I completely forgot about those two bip,  I had set it for the beginning of the year expecting when I performed the work that it would have been deployed by then.  I wlll have to move that to later then.

I will be unable to update the old clients, so the bdb limits may be problematic.  Refresh my memory again as to how Bitcoin solved it when the blockchain forked back in 2013?

they provided a patch for old clients to apply which limited the number of transactions to <= 4,500. anyone running the old client will need to have this patch if they don't want to fork. better if they upgrade to the new one of course so maybe just advise on site that old clients will be unsupported.

This may be why the pools haven't upgraded.  They could cause an immediate fork if they did.

[markm]

I thought they told how to create a BDB config file that told it a higher number of locks.

30,000 (Thomas) + 20,000 was for the 0.8.6 client upgrade.

50,000 IXC is for this new effort to port CounterParty.   If the community can't raise the funding then there's really no motivation for me to develop it.   Like most people,  my time is valuable and I do have a lot of other priorities.

Does the 50,000 IXC include ColoredCoins (NUDC) and CounterParty?

I would not want to have to compile the old clients.  They are so damn old, who knows what dependencies they require.

Just CounterParty.

ColoredCoins... that's a later date after 0.9.2 release, so I'm not soliciting for that just yet. 

The other important thing to do is an SPV client.

Someone is messing with the trading again.  I really wish whoever it is would buy their share already so we can get this thing moving. 

I'm getting sick of watching these games.  And I have a bad feeling the price is gonna get cut down in the next couple days.  Cause it looks like someone keeps trying to bid it down. 

I wish I had some BTC right now, I'd ruin their game and get more coins too.  But I'm broke.  Broke and depressed.

 And sad...cause everybody here gave up on the same day.  It is incredibly difficult to keep your conviction when nothing seems to go right for so long.

[markm]

I've been loving the fact that so many of my lowball buy offers have been accepted, I have acquired lots of IXCoins thanks to who-ever is dumping them so cheap.

I have tons of offers still spread down and down and down though so the more they want to dump the happier I will be.

-MarkM-

[frobley]

dammit mark shh

[Vlad2Vlad]

Lol, Mark, I'm glad somebody here has been buying.  Cause this is so cheap right now.  

I hope something happens soon.

I'm having all kinds of people calling me asking me why the CEO or President of Bitcoin committed suicide.

Last week lots of people called me telling me they heard Bitcoin was dead or Bankrupt.

So in 2 weeks, the masses were led to believe that Bitcoin died or went bankrupt and that its leader committed suicide.

Is the media doing this on purpose?

And finally, talk about a perfect set-up, a perfect entry point for Bitcoin's twin brother.

Pretty amazing development if you think about it.  I knew something big [and imminent] was gonna happen to favor iXcoin but I wasn't sure what.  This, I did not see coming.

Did you hear the news that they figured out the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto ?

[Vlad2Vlad]

Oh shit?

Add to this madness that they just found Satoshi.

So in under 2 weeks the entire Bitcoin - Crypto world has been turned upside down.

That's fine but I find it amazing how it's all happened in a 1, 2, 3 step by step manner.  

This feels so planned.  So what's next?  I'm certain this is leading to something else nobody expects at all.

And I also feel that iXcoin will be in the middle of it.  Of course, the latter could be a ton of confirmation bias.

But that's him, just read up on him and that's Satoshi.  How did the govt and all those reporters not find him when he's the only living Satoshi Nakamoto in the US and has the perfect background and history to fit the real Nakamoto.

This was so set up from day one.  This is too funny.  I can't wait to see what the next play is.  

We'll find out within days.

Come on, time to introduce the Twin to the world.  How will they do it is what I wanna know.
