[ANNOUNCE] Ixcoin - a new Bitcoin fork

[IYFTech]

Where are the linux downloads? Github is over two years old........

You can download the latest 0.8.6 version here:  https://github.com/FrictionlessCoin/iXcoin

Compile using make -f makefile.unix from the src directory.

Tried that - 404 error, page not found.......

Thanks.

I don't think github is down.  Make sure you got the case correct.

Its not just the repo giving a 404, your entire username gives a 404.

Did you get the mixed-case wrong or something?

Very odd...

I checked it on my phone...  it is searchable by google but when I click the link it is 404.   Will investigate.

Looks interesting.

Thanks - just upgraded my rig to 13.10 and this is the last wallet I need to start mining again, seem to have lost the old download too 

Peace

I removed the link from the old linux binary since it was reported that it wasn't working.   Let me know if you have issues with this new version.


Mining rig?  You aren't going to solo mine this are you?  IXC can't be mined without using a massive pool like GHash.IO.

I'd rather hack my plonker off with a blunt rusty razor blade than mine with that bunch of crooks..........

I'm merge mining p2pool........

Thanks for fixing it, I'll try it again now 

Peace.

[IYFTech]

Still not working......

Would some kind sir please tell me where I can download the latest Ixcoin wallet source/package for Ubuntu?!!!

I'd rather not use a two year old client.........

Thanks & Peace.

...........................................or is everyone using the 2 year old client still?

Finally an updated IXCoin Mac OS X wallet, compiled by maxpower.

iXcoin-Qt-0.8.6.0 Mac OS X

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzabc3mm8hxhxex/iXcoin-Qt-0.8.6.0-Mac.zip

Maxpower?  What?

I thought Friction did the QT update?  Hmmmmm.

So who's gonna do the .7 update along with the native colored coins code upgrade?  Cause I thought our Friction was doing all this coding.  I've been praising that man as a Brilliant Genius so I'm a bit confused now.

Bitcoin comes in two parts,  bitcoind (which includes the core protocol) and the QT stuff (which includes the UI).   I worked on the bitcoind, porting it to iXcoin.  I also modfied the QT code so it would be specific to IXcoin.

Maxpower, is an expert at putting together the MacOS X binaries,  so I had him build the source to create these binaries.  I paid him IXC to perform the work.

This stuff is complicated and time consuming.  Like I said earlier,  I delegate some of the work because I don't have all the time in the world to do everything.   The Windows QT is a bit delayed because the person who does that is delayed.


In short,  the QT compilation is a pain to do,  and prefer someone else to do it.   Compiling and testing the C++ core libraries is entirely different and much more fun to do.

That's cool, thanks for the clarification.

Got it!

Git cloned, built it & it's up & running again. I've added the two nodes as stated on the website but I still have no connections - could someone please throw some more addnodes my way to help it get started?

Muchas gracias peeps 

Peace.

You're the MAN!!

Good to go with 8 connections straight away - many thanks dude

Let me know if you have any issues with the new client.

BTW, are you merge mining with the new client?

That's the plan my man - I'll let you know how goes it if you like?

Peace.

But are you using a pool? 

[IYFTech]

I was going to use p2pool (my own node) as that is what I've been using for months now with some success, however, most of my new hardware is not compatible with p2pool & slush's proxy doesn't work with p2pool either (surprise, surprise  ). I was using bfgminers proxy on my old system but the 30+% loss of work is too much for me to bear, so I upgraded my whole system to 13.10 (it needed doing anyway) in the hope that slush's proxy would work with it & p2pool - but no. So the p2pool merged mining node is off again. I like the idea of p2pool but it just doesn't work with most of my hardware........still.
Thanks for helping me upgrade my ixcoin wallet though 

Peace.
