i0coin needs more people to mine on the ORIGINAL ixcoin chain. Thomas fucked up his "fix" big time and a little creativity (and a fair bit of hashing power) could pretty much permanently kill ixcoin.

Unless I missed something, the new and old clients won't talk to each other, and therefore won't share blocks.  Mining on one side of the chain fork isn't going to affect the other.

Except a lot of people haven't upgraded. And if you have half the users suddenly able to do transactions on the old chain again ... well, it'd be really funny to see how many ditch ixcoin.2 for ixcoin.1 when ixcoin.1 lets you send coins and ixcoin.2 doesn't because it's not publishing blocks at a useful rate... It'd be really funny to see how many people realize ixcoin is just a complete joke when they find such a major change with such potential catastrophe had to be made so early in the client's lifetime: and only because Thomas couldn't keep people mining after it became obvious to most people that this was a giant scam to start with.

[wolftaur]

Oh, case in point. Exchanges switched to ix.2, so if there was activity on ix.1 and people tried sending coins to an exchange ... they'd be lost. Unless the exchange switched back. An exchange pretty much -must- pick one post-fork chain and can't just change later... pretty massive risk. If it's proven to be this easy for a couple jackasses with graphics cards to make such a major issue for the currency then *BOOM* goes its value, and Thomas's 1,160,000 pre-mined coins (remember, the block chain forked and won't coalesce!!) won't be worth the crap I'm gonna be taking before bed.

Well, they'd be lost on the old chain.  If they upgrade to the new client, they'd get those coins back because the new chain never saw the transaction.

True, but if the old chain doesn't rapidly die the way Thomas expects then he does indeed have a problem. After all, the choice to switch is up to the users. The new chain doesn't work and won't for a while because the blocks are coming stupidly slowly. If the old chain doesn't have a problem any more then a lot of the unawares people will just never switch. And the coins may not be "truly" lost but users have a tendency to blame the author of a system for every problem. Like how many people get pissed at the makers of strong encryption when they lose their data.

Won't share blocks, but some transactions that are valid on one side are also valid on the other.

Edit: In particular, if there are exchanges or other deposit-holding institutions on both sides of the fork, someone could try sending the same coins to a different one on each side, then withdraw their money and hope to get coins that a valid on both sides of the fork each time. The transactions wouldn't naturally propagate across but...

What's happening with i0coin bitcoin exchange right now seems to be an exact copy of what's going on on mtgox

How exactly do you get your i0coin wallet to work again? Mine hasn't updated in about 3-4 weeks at all and I have lots of unconfirmed transactions.. I downloaded the lastest stable build from http://forum.i0coin.org opened it but it's still not updating the block chain at all.. Any help?

You need the new 'fixed' client there is another github acc where you can get the source (I don't remember where somewhere in this thread) or there is a windows binary of the fixed client by Artforz (also ITT)

[SupaDupaJenkins]

Do you have a link possibly? No Idea where to find the fixed version

[ElectricMucus]

You're lucky it still was in my downloaded files list
