So IXCoin is off and running already, now I hear something about IOCoin? Perhaps someone could collect information about the coin forks in one convenient location? How they're doing, who is using them, why they exist, etc.

1. moral outrage gives birth to bitcoin 2. greed gives birth to ixcoin 3. moral outrage gives birth to i0coin

Because we obviously require AT LEAST three currencies for daily use -- especially considering the number of virtual currency users -- almost 4,000!
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic)

I believe it's called the "Off Topic" sub forum, sir ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Off-topic, I agree.
If people want to, as I see it, waste their time with these clones, hey, that's up to them.
My concern is that uninformed people will be confused by them, for example, the media at the Bitcoin Convention seeing the IxCoin table.
I think, when the question comes up, we need to have a good answer. I like "They are experiments based off of Bitcoin. The result of these experiments validate the inherent value in Bitcoin", or something like that.

It's a manufactured "bitcoin fork" similar to the manufactured debt ceiling crisis.

It will be interesting to see how long these forks survive before people decide they have no value. IMO the new forks will just end up giving a bad name to Bitcoins from the POV of mainstream media

I'd be surprised if anyone in the mainstream media ever even hears about these dime in a dozen forks.

Mined IO Coins all night and traded for the BTC. Really nice multiples but I think the fun is about to be over after a few more diff increases. Also, https://i0exchange.bitparking.comAppears to be offline currently......

Maybe Oldminer, er I mean Takawhatever slipped a few hundred thousand ixcoins for the server to "crash" for a while.
