Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

With all this competition, how is IxCoin faring? The network seems healthy, but the alt cryptocurrency market is like the mobile phone market now. Solidcoin is still vastly more popular than IxCoin, and GeistGeld and Tenebrix are catching up. Any innovations you have planned?

Tenebrix and GeistGeld supposedly premined 8 million? I am still trying to figure out if these are one big troll currenies. Iocoin, was a get back at ixcoin. Tenebrix did make a client, so he might just be having fun, but has no details on the amount that will be made.
So there might only be
ixcoin solidcoin namecoin bitcoin

Namecoin is stable enough (as well as bitcoin) to be not considered. I consider the only true competitors to IxCoin (which I fully support, by the way) the larger SolidCoid (which isn't even up right now), and the smaller GeistGeld and Tenebrix. I0Coin is dying, and the bid side has dried up. Although GeistGeld and Tenebrix both have the weakness of being able to lose all their value in a blink, so I am not currently speculating there. My economic positions are: IxCoin: LONG SolidCoin: LONG (currently closed) GeistGeld: None Tenebrix: None I0Coin: SHORT (too bad there isn't a easy way to short I0Coin, since that would involve taking a loan)

We're going to release the 0.4 version of the client Ixcoin soon (to follow Bitcoin's release) and keep promoting ixcoins to vendors/exchanges.
We're also considering having a parallel beta client that integrates experimental features (such as the many pull requests for the Bitcoin client), but still promote the main distro as the main stable ixcoin client. The current dev bounty is applicable here if anyone is interested.
