@Thomas Nasakioto - Want to thankyou for creating this coin. Doubt I'll ever understand the true history behind it's making, nor why BCX is so against you having made it. After some consideration, I now think it's in all our best interest to perpetuate that mystery and tell the story behind the coin, be it by website, forum or twit its the makings of folklore. In fact that story is still ongoing with your continued support.
Having lived with the new version of your coins code for more than the last month, I'm less concerned with WHY you've chosen to involve yourself in the development tasks required on a personal level the way you have, now I see that it's allot of work! ...and requires a considerable amount of ones personal time to be involved with this stuff at the code level. For me though it's been a great joy to be able to contribute and work with Ahmed on this project. Knock on wood for continued good health, I should be able to continue that effort for another 10yrs or more, keeping Ixcoin up to the latest Bitcoin codebase level, its something I want to do, beyond that though, if the coin functionality is changed allot, I'm not sure if my intent will remain, we'll just have to see what consensus is found between miners interest, traders desire and developers efforts.
The inflection point you created in time is upon us, soon the final release of a Ixcoin system which meets your requirements will be out, right in sync with when there is NO more money printing. Seems to me, like it should be every bit as valuable as a Bitcoin. At least worth a nickel or a quarter, perhaps even trading briefly for more than a Bitcoin. The question is, will users of crypto-currency appreciate that fact, only time will tell.
The way these updates are done since this is open source is the job is done and the bounty is collected.
Well ya, it's still not done, but getting really close. Personally I've received no funds for the work put into the project, nor ever put up an address to receive any, kinda get tired of seeing the constant call by others in the various coins for donations, bounties, blah blah blah, long before anything has even actually been done. Now that my pre-release build is out, will change that, see below for an address, where anyone can send thanks, if they so desire.
It's taken me a ton of my time to get up to speed in building crypto-coin software, that is what it's been about for me though & have come along way in understanding the 0.9.2 code base and how to be able to build, edit & fix problems within it. So for me, it has been a great learning experience.
Our lead developer, now known as MrBodi, as the ahmed_bodi handle got banned:
From way back in our thread, here is his donation addresses:
As i like to keep track of who sends what:
Address for Frictionless to send What he owes: xjTEvSTtSBm5JA5qWm4pFLQqYvdQwRQ5RY
Address for Thomas Nasakioto: xs7ttXXF4HD8tGEbSQDxMMHg7V9H3achCr
Address for Others: xdwN9AfTS1LPZPnuoiprFDGdq3AU1qRwim
Here now by example, I'll show a donation address for my part in the contribution to Ixcoin development.
NOTE: I've reduced the size of these images by ~20% to work on the forum for folks with smaller screen formats, hope they still come through ok, although I note that the images blurred abit.
First Install the new client using the Win32 setup and get your blockchain up-to-date as well as install your wallet.dat file from previous versions. Mine was originally a 0.3.24 wallet, then it was upgraded to an 0.8.6 version, either or seems to work just fine, at some point you might want to execute the -upgradewallet option when starting Ixcoin, this will bring all the internal wallet data structures up to the latest version. The simple installer that comes with this release, does one more thing, besides just installing your new execuables, it also installs a registry key so that your operating sytsem knows what to do when you enter a URI into your browser.
Once the new client is installed on your system, simply click on the following link and enter your amount:
ixcoin:xnxZzr7KU1U6BRBqvtpdrMKv9PCMd7z2NC?label=Ixcoin%20Core%20GroundRod%20Development%20Fund&message=Thanks%20for%20your%20supportThe address: xnxZzr7KU1U6BRBqvtpdrMKv9PCMd7z2NC
You should then see something like this:
Click on the 'Remember for Ixcoin links' & then simply fill in the amount here:
And click send:
I actually did this, sending 10ixc to myself and you can see it on the overview page here:
You can check any of those above addresses using the Ixcoin block explorer here:
http://darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/IXCoin@zebedee - Ya it will be & when compared to happenings around the world in the lala land of government backed script, the timing of Ixcoin's terminal coin production is very interesting.
@jotaceo - train, plane neither go fast or high enough, lets try rocket ship....it's scarcity could make headline news everywhere.
@vlad - Really like your sigline image, when you get a chance please send me a (PM) with a link to the highest res version, may yet be able to get it into the code base somewhere, perhaps in the setup program or on the client overview page.
My pre-release build will be little changed from what Ahmed releases, I see he merged my latest pull request. So unless your a miner, I'd say everybody should upgrade, including merchants as the functionality is so superior. Still waiting to hear from any of you, as to problems encountered.
