New Ixcoin fork -> I0coin

[fusebox]

finally broke out of the newbie jail....

yup, if kr105 doesn't respond very soon we'll just have to adjust the client on our own and hopefully everyone else will update to the same codes.

working on it...
https://github.com/fusebox/i0coin

Checked in artforz recommended changes... trying to compile now (not as trivial).

Any other changes we should rip off of other forks?

I think you messed up the genesis "pszTimestamp" string literal while editing.
for portability it should prolly be changed to

Code:

const char* pszTimestamp = "15/Ago/2011 - Diario El Dia - Obama cae al 39% en la aprobaci\xf3n ciudadana";

notice the \xf3 escape in the string, it's a literal 0xf3 char in the original source. iirc thats not valid C++ and tends to get broken easily by a editor using the wrong codepage.

Fixed

Woudl be nice to get merged mining support in here... Like to see if that would ever really work and dont want to wait till december to see name coin try it out.

[ArtForz]

"It compiles, ship it!"
On a more serious note, for a merged mining currency it'd be better to start a fresh chain and not be associated with the general failure that is ix/i0 (and namecoin testnet already has a working implementation).

[joulesbeef]

eh I will bump this... surprised there arent more complains when you look at all the coins for sale on bitparking
yeah i0coin was created on a lark.. but if it can be fixed..even just fixed so it can properly die, than it should be fixed.

[Mousepotato]

So is i0coin going to adopt the Solidcoin difficulty algorithm?

[ArtForz]

Well, thats what my patch does, switch to straight solidcoin algo after block 14639 (180s/block, diff increase limit, retargeting period 240 blocks), but keep i0s 48 coin/block reward.
-> diff should adjust by /4 after 14639, and at 4096 diff even single-digit Ghps should be able to sustain at least 1-2 blocks/hour or so.
I guess we could just disable the 7-day thing and keep i0s retargeting algo, but then we'd be stuck at diff 16384 for a looooong time.

[joulesbeef]

you should adopt solids diff algo.. maybe tweak it a bit but something like that.
if you want i0coin to actually compete.
I would actually probably do it ever 6 hours rather than 12

[Mousepotato]

So is it safe for i0exchange to start back trading again?

[ArtForz]

Well, once theres reasonable consensus on what the new algo should be, it's just a matter of changing the constants and finding a suck... masochi... kind soul to build binaries.
Probably not a too good idea to open a exchange back up before "everyone" switched and the network gets at least a few dozen Ghps.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I couldn't find anywhere else.

Is anyone selling i0coins?

Thanks.

I have 400 i0coins you can buy for $0.01 BTC each

Are you denominating in bitcoins or dollars? The way you wrote it is confusing "$0.01 BTC".

If it is BTC that is a super rip off lol.

[ArtForz]

At USD 0.01 it's still a ripoff 

[Technocrat]

Is there any value to these coins?
Can you even make a transaction?

if someone buys them, they have value even if they are nothing more than digital paper weights right now.

but read a page back or two, paper weights might actually turn back into currency soon.

Why not allowing difficulty to be divided by more than 4?
4 was chosen to avoid huge difficulty change but as we're now changing difficulty far more quicker we can get rid of that limit, or modifying it to 10 or 20

Yes, you are right. Demand sets the price.
But the only way to trade I0coins now is to send your wallet.dat.
This was supposed to be a joke currency and people got too serious about it.
The founder has disappeared. Is I0coins dead?

Do you realize how false your sentence is?
