[ANNOUNCE] Ixcoin - a new Bitcoin fork

[Raoul Duke]

Too many somethingawful people in this thread, you are making it way too obvious for the idiots that are buying this.

So finally SA members showed what is their real problem with Bitcoin:
1- Being late...
2- Not having enough money to buy the real deal...

we need more idiots! 

[Mousepotato]

difficulty is getting to be too high now.

How do you tell the difficulty & block #?  Is there a site like Bitcoincharts?

[borgfish]

i would like to thank anyone for the opportunity to mine 2 btc worth of ixcoins (yes i already have the btc) in a time i would have earned only 0.05 btc

great fail lol

[Mousepotato]

Wrd, I've exchanged close to 16 BTC worth of Ixcoins in the time it would have taken me to make .4-.5 BTC.  Still mining Ixcoin though and keeping some pressure off the Bitcoin network.

[Starlightbreaker]

i already got 3 days worth of btc in 13 hours lol.

[urstroyer]

mined 3 hours (400mh/s) yesterday -> 13 btc profit! LOL

[gw4tt]

you can run a command to ixcoin.exe through the command prompt.. ixcoin.exe getdifficulty

it's at 1024 now.

Profitability calculation:

Ixcoin difficulty: 1024
Ixcoin / bitcoin difficulty ratio : .0005421469
ixcoin / bitcoin price ratio: 0.00023231

It's over folks, 'twas a fun experiment!

[bitfoo]

Ignore what I said above, there are people still buying at prices like 0.0015.

It's still a worthwhile mining alternative, if for no other reason than to relieve the Bitcoin network of some pressure and buy a little wiggle room to keep the next difficulty re-target down.

You forget that you get almost twice as many Ixcoins as Bitcoins per block.

So when you take that in to account, difficulty ratio is about 0.000282133, and Ixcoin seems to be trading a bit above that right now. So it's still slightly more profitable to mine Ixcoins. That said, I don't see it continuing for too long. Was a fun day mining :-)

Yeah i saw someone buy 150,000 ixcoins at 0.0015 btc each. Wow. Hopefully he can cash out above 0.0015 btc

Somebody buy ixcoin.net from me real quick before this fad dies.

It's kind of a zero-sum situation. If someone wants to take the risk and buys my 4 hours worth of ixcoin mining for the price of 1132 hours of bitcoin mining then I'm glad there is an exchange to make the deal.
Kind of lucky that I saw the thread in the first hours.

I'll buy it for 0.001 BTC

[Yanz]

I threw this together real quick. I think it works.
it's like blockexplorer but for ixcoin. all the links say 'bitcoin' but i pointed it at the ixcoin chain so its actually showing ixcoin info.
