i just don't why IOCoin would not be used instead of Ixcoin
I0Coin died 3 times. That's just one reason. A good reason.
If you wanna take a coin global which is all Wall Street thinks about would you try selling a coin which died 3 times or one that's never died and had been around a long time?
That and the name i0coin for some reason seems to rub a lot of people the wrong way.
I0Coin never died. It was a dark horse at times but I am pretty sure it never died.
Luke claimed to kill CoiLedCoin too, attacking it for mabye 2 or 3 days, then everyone claimed it was dead while it went humming along merrily ever since.
Dark horses are awesome. BBQcoin was a great example, people were able to mine that with just a CPU for close to a year before the bitcointalkers realised it was not dead afterall.
Fortunes were made. Yet BBQ is just another pathetically insecure scrypt toy.
GeistGeld is hopefully also goign to be awesome since it has for years now tested and tuned to make sure you can run that fast while still being merged.
With all the crap the toy coins yell about speed being so important GeistGeld should find a large audience once people realise putting all your money on a windowsill with the window open for attackers to take like basically all but one of the scrypt coins do (and even that one its maybe arguable) is not the way to make a global currency.
The international three letter codes for currencies likely say all three letters must be letters not digits, so I0C would not work in a lot of Wall Street systems maybe.
But it tends to be pronounced "I owe coin" so fudging by putting O instead of 0 should work. Grandma if she was a typist way back when would surely grasp that.
If Wall Street chose to use specialised hardware to secure blockchains, do you think they would prefer to secure them all with the same machines or to need different machinery - or even just different watts of electricity as in having to allocate the watts instead of merging them - for each chain?
