[ANN] IXCoin [IXC] The Original Bitcoin Sidechain

[starmman]

Hello Folks,

IXCoin is not quite dead yet...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDnS4pkmzis&t=48


I have just updated the crypto-docker project at https://github.com/bostontrader/crypto-docker.  Among other things, fans of of IXC might be interested in the following:

With crypto-docker you can build docker images that contain the IXC binaries built from a recent commit of https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin using Alpine Linux.

You can choose to build an image without debug symbols, but with optimization, resulting in a rather small image of about 181 MB.  This is built with QT5 and can be viewed from a VNC viewer on the host system.

Or you can choose to build an image with debug symbols and no optimization, resulting in a larger image.  This image includes gdb and gdbgui which enables you to debug the executables using gdb and a GUI.

One issue I had with this was that the version of secp256k1 included in the source code would segfault.  Walking through the code with the debugger was not yielding results fast enough so in the Dockerfile I graft in a modern commit of https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1, which I consider to be the definitive version of secp256k1, and that works just fine.

I think copy-n-paste this code from other places into the IXCoin software, although a very common thing to do, is a clumsy way of handling this dependency.  Does anybody have a more elegant solution in mind?  I've left this as an issue at https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/issues/5, in case anybody cares to weigh-in on the topic.


Enjoy!

Thanks - was planning on creating such a system myself a while back - but never got the time/motivation

Another failed attempt.  7 years too many.  Stick a fork in IXC.

Definition of dead:
having the appearance of death

inamimate
barren, infertile
lacking power or effect
no longer having interest, relevance, or significance

By those definitions IXcoin has been dead a long time.  Trying to revive a corpse we have, nearly becoming zombies in the process.

And if the resurrection happen? You've supported Ixcoin for so many years, I hope you do not give up, guys!

Very sad seeing the volume of only about 3-4 dollars only, maybe you are indeed correct these coins have been long dead. There are many projects that try to go back to rise from their fall, but it will be difficult.

This year has left a bit of a graveyard of alt coins - I was hoping some whales would want to keep IXC liquid for historical value!

Almost all of my IXC was on 'topia - hadn't got my wallet VM's back online since moving office - I'm out of the (IXC) game if 'topia doesn't come back

[starmman]

you are totally right - and I could have certainly done more myself - but not to the level of him!

[Vlad2Vlad]

Totally agree.  Everyone just sit and watch and expect the moon.

Time to pitch in or forget it. 

[Vlad2Vlad]

You know that game find Waldo?  Yeah, kinda like that - who can find IXcoin?   

[Vlad2Vlad]

True story!

My life with IXcoin right there, man.  Sad.

Financially and emotionally bled out, got nothing left to give.  You lazy-rich-maggot-whale bastards.  Pay for your own coding, updates, marketing and website.

For years many small ixc hodlers pitched in crumbs, waiting for big ixc hodlers to join ranks. We received mainly discouraging talks, dust and false hopes. So, time to end this show.
Please attack ixc blockchain and destroy it. In this way big hodlers will get their reward to the full.

Call it righteous vengeance or karma but there’s no way for us to update or protect the chain with our worthless budget. 

I for one am spent. 

Have at it.

With 'topia down - I have 400 left, I'm still offering liquidity when/if 'topia is back but won't push any more BTC in - you are right - this will affect the whales much more

400?  Oh, that’s so so so depressing.   

Sorry to hear it.

I (took the risk / was aware I was being lazy) - but expect to get something back from topia at some point =)

Some liquidity Profits were pushed into other coins - so not all is lost =D

I really doubt crypt-opia will give any ix back.  I think the hackers got the private keys.

Must have been some kind of inside job unless their security was so bad

Ixc difficulty is dropping.
It seems someone is listening.
