Just FYI, i was the one who published the new windows binaries.. but you are right ArtForz is the one who contributed the code.

I went to re-visit the last few pages, and decided to split the bounty.
you deserve at least half of the bounty(which is not much at all compared to what you have done)
here's 200.123 coins on the way.

Also I recommend whoever benefiting from this revival sending them a little tip as well.
After all,  if it wasn't for them all your coins was worth nothing,

You can not roll a BitCoin, but you can rollback some. Cheesy

Did anyone noticed the i0coin forum is full of spam? I think that should have been fixed first.

Why? Every Bitcoin fork use this subforum and not their own forum anyway

And yet there are tons of solidcoin related posts other here, which was my point



Anyway, maybe i0coin needs to release a great huge awesome new release on sept 1st!
Why? Well dunno...
Solidcoin planned to release his new release on this day, and our beloved nasakioto thought that if he released his own shitty new version on the same day it will bring some glory to it
So... As I0coin is a ixcoin fork, why not?

I'm going to see if I can integrate the merged mining patch from namecoin into iocoin.. but that won't be till later this weekend, and it's have to be scheduled (and frankly voted on by the miners since it will require upgrades and a choice of a future block to go live)..

merged mining is the only thing that will save the alt chains...   IE, imagine if you could mine iocoin, namecoin, and bitcoin all simultaneously with the same hash strength.

It was just a joke but nice idea!
Looks like it works well on Namecoin testnet http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=269

As for the block#, I think it's not critical to chose now, we can vote after we are sure it works in testnet

Wouldn't merge mining push the exchange rate for that blockchain down to near zero? If I'm in a pool that is mining BTC and I0, I will keep my usual BTC then exchange any I0 to btc/usd.

IMO, merged mining is not a good idea. It would drive the I0Coin difficulty above the BTC difficulty if it weren't for shorter block times (the shorter block times do help, but have the same effect). If BTC difficulty were higher than I0Coin difficulty, then miners would profit by submitting pure-i0 blocks as well as i0-btc double-blocks. This will make solidcoin algo useless (except for slow rises, which is disputable since the rapid increase in hashing power would provide 0-security blocks and chains).

^Correct,I was playing around with the new encryption scheme by I0 coin and entered a pass to see how it worked but now can't remember said phrase.I was wondering where I might be able to find said phrase.

I'm pretty sure you're out of luck. If you lose the passphrase you can't decrypt the wallet.

It's not the passphrase that is encrypted, it's your wallet
And to answer you, you just can't

^^Damn,that's definitely not good.I had quite a few coins in there that I had mined earlier as well.

I was under the impression that since the network can communicate and add coins to the wallet even though encrypted and not needing a password that the passphrase was recoverable for your wallet if encrypted.

it's designed to keep people who dont know your passphrase out.. and think of a huge titanium safe and you forgot the combo

and actually that is easier to get into but the point is, you arent going to find that phrase

just keep trying

Coins can be sent to addresses already encoded in your wallet whether you can read your wallet or not.

Unless you can decrypt and read your wallet, you will not be able to spend any coins locked by the keys stored in your wallet.

I can't see how this could be made more clear. If it's possible to recover the passphrase, what good is the encryption at all?

Hey, back when hitting Escape got you past the Windows login dialogue box, I couldn't get anyone to understand that concept...

Can't exactly say I'm surprised people still seem to think there's an equivalent to hitting escape to reverse strong encryption.

You are assuming I saw that.I am guessing I wasn't able to see the warning due to a slower desktop when I was testing Cat 11.8 and pressed enter too many times.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense,encryption is not the only thing that is important.It is like having an employer that pays you only via direct deposit and your bank says whoops just because you lost your password you can't have access to your account,are you serious ?

The whole point of these alternate currencies are to replace THAT system......including Bitcoin,or am I mistaken ?

At the current difficulty (3115) is it worth while to solo mine?
