Actually no. If there was an exchange I would take the coins and exchange them but no Oldminer/Thomas I'm not like you.

I prefer honest transactions and not premined dixcoins.

That's some handicapped logic...doublec is providing a service in demand at an extremely low fee using his infrasctructure that requires he spend time and money to maintain it.

You, on the other hand, are passing off goods that you claim are bullshit to unwitting buyers, thus becoming complicit in the scam. You produce nothing, and add nothing.

Just because there is someone out there dumber than you doesn't make it ok to take advantage of them.

Hey now. Quit backing me up here or tomorrow we'll either be the same people, or in a homosexual relationship.

This interaction just lends credence to their claims. They all know you have been grooming the ultimate schill/troll account under the name RandyFolds for the past several months.

[Oldminer]

Hey now. Quit backing me up here or tomorrow we'll either be the same people, or in a homosexual relationship.

At least our relationship could be considered monogomous. Unlike smoothie who seems to find comfort in a circle-jerk.

We've made some changes to Ixcoin addressing issues raised since its release. This is a compulsory update otherwise your Ixcoin client will not communicate with other updated nodes after Sep 1rst 2011. The blockchain remains intact.

What's new in 0.3.24.1?

• New Difficulty Retargeting Algorithm
  
  A new difficulty adjustment algorithm will activate on block 20055. The current block count is 19968 so we should hit this count in about ~2 weeks. After that, difficulty retargets every 144 blocks (i.e. every 24 hours) with max increments of 10% and max decrements at 400% (like Solidcoin). The aim is to achieve a much more consistent block rate. (commit)
  
  
• New Peering Marker
  
  On Sept 1rst 2011 at 00:12:51 UTC (in under a week), the new client will switch over to a new Ixcoin-specific pchMessageStart peering marker from the original Bitcoin marker. This change was recommended by a few although we haven't had reports of any issues with this yet. Better safe than sorry. The updated Ixcoin nodes will not be able to communicate with non-updated Ixcoin clients after that date. (commit)
  
  
•   Other Miscellaneous Changes 
  
  * Blockchain lockin at block 19947 (commit)
  * Hard limit total Ixcoins to 21M (commit)
  * Fix minimized tray icon issue in Windows distro
  * Switched back to lfnet.org IRC instead of Freednode. Now using 10 channels #ixcoin00-09 (commit)
  * Bitcoin addresses are now detected as invalid Ixcoin addresses (commit)

Will nodes have to be restarted at this time or will they automatically start using the new marker? I guess there will be a bit of churn around this time too as nodes with skewed clocks change early or late.

They'll need to be restarted.
