I think the reason why most people here do not like colored coin is simple. They cannot invest on it. Colored coin is just like a traditional open source project, where people earn reputation but no money.
Well... you can invest in iXcoin.
Here's the deal, we take iXcoin which is a merged mine coin with Bitcoin.
It has a ridiculous network hash rate of over 4 peta hash per/sec.
It is also dirt cheap at 11 cents with only 17 million coins minted.
It has been around for 2 1/2 years.
Now layer chromawallet on top of it.
You want buy in? You want exclusivity? Well, you buy iXcoin when it is dirt cheap.
Of course, I could always say that I got an 'exodus address' that requires a buy it.
But let's for now just call it an address where collect funds for development.
I'm a bit confused, looked at ixcoin.com website, saw this:
Development Fundraising
As you are probably familiar, the iXcoin client has not been updated in over two years. We are currently working on a new version of the software that will bring it current with the Bitcoin code base.
We have a number of developers who are highly skilled and motivated to work on this project. Work has commenced to carefully review and convert patches to create a clean rebase upon v0.8.x. Once this is complete, we’ll need to do extensive testing and some additional documentation. After the client is modernized and the network is upgraded, we have exciting plans to further improve the iXcoin protocol.
These operations take time and unfortunately a number of our developers must necessarily split time between paying projects (i.e. their day jobs) and this important work to better ensure the long-term safety and security of the iXcoin network.
It is for this reason that we are requesting donations to help fund this development work. Funds will first be used to reimburse core infrastructure hosting expenses before being divided amongst the developers.
IXC: xm7RZfDQyiYqFQZ6Q9ZgtSkX9e8uBJ3SLY
We currently have pledges of 25,000 IXC from 2 users: tazman and Vlad2Vlad.
We are trying to reach original developer (Thomas Nakasioto ) for additional bounties but have been unsuccessful.
Thank you,
The iXcoin Development Team
How does one invest (buy ixcoin) instead of donate? Also, it looks more like just an alt coin, no mention of p2p exchange, smart contracts, or other features MSC, PTS, or eMunie will have.
