I’ve been the dev of IXCoin for 8 year with little help from
Anyone. No compensation of any kind. I killed any pump
And dump attempt cause I wanted a clean image, as a result we never raised easy money. We never sold out. Deadsea and bled for this coin but he has given up. Thomas Nasakioto the creator has been MIA for ~4 years.
But I never never up. I put my own cash over 700,000 IXcoin and used myself as a propaganda model to keep IXcoin alive because I predicted from the beginning it and all the old legit coins like I0C, NMC, would be nurried under big money and big hype coins. And that’s exactly what happened. But anyone who’s been in crypto a few years remembers me and IXcoin - the bitcoin twin.
The old thread the went MIA and now someone thinks this coin is dead so they can take it over even tho I have been active daily and telling people to buy everywhere I go and gave away hundreds of thousands of ixc to grow the community. Truth is nobody cares about a cheap coin. We need a good dev and awareness.
I don’t like ixc being a sidechain when it can do it all and, instantly and for fractions of a penny txs. There are no coins like IXcoin. Buy while you can on Freiexchange cause there isn’t much left. Ignore the noise and hype, join the real crypto revolution
While it’s pennies. And it has been for years. No other coin offered merge mining and penny priced for fair distribution for almost a decade available for purchase on many exchanges over the years.

Ixcoin is a fork of Bitcoin with twice the inflation rate of Bitcoin and the same 21 million total limit.
Ixcoin is intended to closely mirror code updates to Bitcoin to allow for easy interoperability with Bitcoin-related third party services and APIs.
iXcoin (IXC) is the second oldest alt-coin, launched 10 days after Namecoin. iXcoin is the 1st clone of Bitcoin, the only identical Bitcoin Twin in existence, fully matured and fully distributed, low cost P2p network to offer irreversible, low cost, highly scalable transactions. IXC an open source & decentralized digital currency.
How does Ixcoin differ from Bitcoin?
Ixcoin is merge mined with Bitcoin
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-workShorter maturity period
All Ixcoins were been generated by Oct 2014. Mining relies solely on transaction fees now. Ixcoin reached it's maturity ~18 years before Bitcoin's.
New blockchain
Although Bitcoin's blockchain is in the same format as Ixcoin's, they use different genesis blocks and have a different reward scheme. So Bitcoins will not be valid in the Ixcoin blockchain and vice-versa.
Different default ports
Bitcoin's operating port 8332 is now 8337 with Ixcoin.
Bitcoin's RPC server port 8333 is now 8338 with Ixcoin.
New key format
Wallet public keys now start with the letter x instead of the number 1 for Bitcoins.

Frictionlesscoin - hited double paid By Me then foumdation mercenary dev
-Responsible for update 0.8.6. This was the first update since Dec 2011 and helped bring about a resurgence in IXC interest. He took some 6 months For 140k ix to mostly copy and paste Bitcoin update.
Dev 5 / 6 / 7
Ahmed Bodi & GroundRod, Cinnamon_Carter - legit devs, never got paid but They left not long after They joined.
-These fine developers stepped up to the plate to get IXC updated to the latest BTC codebase 0.9.2 and 0.9.3
Cinnamon_Carter was a developer, a tester and consultant in iXcoin community
Dev 8 / 9 / 10 / 11
Domob helped by Snailbrain, Starmman & ArchimedesIX - Legit but quit and left us Hanging For 2 years now
-These fine gentlemen stepped up to the plate to get IXC updated to the latest BTC codebase 0.14 and 0.14.1
Vlad2Vlad - the only determinated and unrelenting dev who in 8 years never gave up and raised community funds and paid much more out of pocket to hire some of the above shameless greedy mediorcre devs. I forgot I also paid famous marketing genius Jeffery Peterson 370,000 ixc out of pocket after promising the best marketing ever and he vanished with my coins.
-
iXcoin Dev and
spokesperson - anybody calls me spokesperson after the last 8 years of lies theft and torture I’ll cave your face in. I am the lead dev of IXC for 8 years. And I gave it all I had and I’m still active daily, mostly on telegram.
Cinnamon, Thomas and deadsea are the only ones that have the right to be called true devs of IX with me, far outlasting, outspending and speaking out all these years for people to buy ixc. That does that make me a spokesman, douche Ver is a spokesman. I’m a believer and that’s why I’ll never quit no matter the bribes, traps and death threats I get.
Welcome to IXcoin, brother, welcome to the future. It’s hard to envision but I see it as clear as day, ixc will be number one.

FAQ FROM THE ORIGINAL WEBSITE IXCOIN..co with links updated. New better site common soon.
P2P Virtual Currency
Ixcoin is a peer-to-peer currency based on Bitcoin with a shorter maturity. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new money or tracks transactions. These tasks are managed collectively by the network which currently secures Ixcoin with 10 PetaHash/s. Ixcoin is the first Bitcoin clone or Alternative chain, created in May 2011 just a few weeks after the distributed DNS Namecoin. Today, there exists many Bitcoin clones.
General
What is Ixcoin?
Ixcoin is an open source digital currency, based on the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which is distributed over a peer-to-peer network to offer irreversible, low-cost, anonymous and decentralized monetary transactions. Ixcoin is the first Bitcoin clone or Alternative chain, created in May 2011 just a few weeks after the distributed DNS Namecoin. Today, there exists many Bitcoin clones, thousands, but IXcoin was the 1st and has never died or been 51 attacked.
Ixcoins are the unit of currency of the Ixcoin system. Similarly to Bitcoin's BTC, a commonly used shorthand for this is “IXC” to refer to a price or amount (eg: “100 IXC”). An Ixcoin isn't tangible. It is just a number associated with a Ixcoin Address, which is a string of 33 numbers and letters which begin with the letter x such as xa9jpgHugb2pTCpzoZcDdiHKepy8mjpddX. See also an easy intro to bitcoin.
How does Ixcoin differ from Bitcoin?
Shorter maturity period
There are currently ~11M (as of June 2013) in existence and it is expected that all 21 million Bitcoins will have been generated by 2033. Whereas all 21 million Ixcoins are available now in 2015. This is because 16*6=96 IXC were created per new block, instead of 50 BTC in Bitcoin.
Ixcoin maturity will be reached ~18 years before Bitcoin's. By mid-2013, the number of IXC and BTC will reach parity (for a brief moment).
New blockchain
Although Bitcoin's blockchain is in the same format as Ixcoin's, they use different genesis blocks and have a different reward scheme. So Bitcoins will not be valid in the Ixcoin blockchain and vice-versa.
Different default ports
Bitcoin's operating port 8333 is changed to 8337 with Ixcoin.
Bitcoin's RPC server port 8332 is defaulted to 8338 in Ixcoin.
Merged Mining
Ixcoin implemented merge mining with Bitcoin in 2012. Merge mining allows a Bitcoin miner to mine for more than one block chain at the same time. The benefit is that every hash the miner does contributes to the total hash rate of both (all) currencies, and as a result they are all more secure.
New key format
Wallet public keys now start with the letter x instead of the number 1 as in Bitcoins:
Bitcoin wallet key
175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W
Ixcoin wallet key
x75tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W
Where is my wallet stored in Ixcoin?
Your Ixcoin wallet is stored in the Ixcoin data directory. This is the same location format as with Bitcoin and will typically be of the form:
Windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\IxCoin
Windows Vista/7 C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\IxCoin
Linux ~/.ixcoin/
Mac ~/Library/Application Support/Ixcoin/
Can I use my bitcoin.conf and bitcoin.pid with Ixcoin?
Yes. Just rename them respectively to ixcoin.conf and ixcoin.pid and move them to your system's wallet directory (see above). Alternatively, use the command switches -conf=<file> and -pid=<file> respectively to point to your custom bitcoin.conf and bitcoin.pid files.
Are there any other differences between Ixcoin and Bitcoin?
Apart from those listed above, Ixcoin is a direct fork of the original Bitcoin source code. The goal is for Ixcoin to mirror Bitcoin's code exactly (apart from listed differences) in the future.
Note that dnsseeds are disabled by default in the build until an Ixcoin DNS seed formed.
How many Ixcoins will there be?
21 million Ixcoins, just like Bitcoin. But Ixcoin will reach full maturity ~18 years before Bitcoin.
Can I run both Ixcoin and Bitcoin at the same time?
Yes. Both clients can run side-by-side.
Are Bitcoin client clones compatible with Ixcoin?
Most Bitcoin client clones will need minor modifications to work with Ixcoin such as changing the operating port to 8337, altering the blockchain verification code if any and changing the address generation algorithm.
Can I use my Bitcoins as Ixcoins?
No. Bitcoins have the same relationship to Ixcoin as they have to any other currency (e.g. USD, GBP). You would need to exchange/convert them for valid Ixcoins first via an exchanger service.
Are my Bitcoin addresses compatible with Ixcoin?
No. Your Bitcoin addresses/keypairs will not be recognized by the Ixcoin blockchain, so although they might work they will not point to valid Bitcoins (and vice-versa).
You will need to either mine Ixcoins or use an exchanger to convert fiat currency or Bitcoins for Ixcoins.
How do I convert my Bitcoins to Ixcoins?
Via an exchanger that will buy/sell bitcoins for Ixcoins and vice-versa, such as Cryptopia , Yobit , CoinExchange
How do I mine Ixcoins?
As of October 2014 mining is complete but the blockchain can still send coins because of merged mining with bitcoin. However, from block 450,000 an hard fork (0.14.1) will allow the distribution to miners of all the premine.
What is value of a Ixcoin?
Like Bitcoins and other currencies, the current spot value of a Ixcoin with regards to other denominations will likely vary depending on supply and demand.
Where can I download Ixcoin source code?
Please go to
https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/releasesWhere can I download precompiled Ixcoin client?
https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/releasesWhat license if Ixcoin distributed under?
Under the MIT License, like Bitcoin
What does the Ixcoin version number mean?
Ixcoin will keep the same version naming convention as the Bitcoin releases. Therefore version 0.14.1 of Ixcoin corresponds to a modified version of Bitcoin release 0.14.1. The intend is to keep Ixcoin tailing any new updates to Bitcoin.
Who owns Ixcoin?
Everybody. You are welcome to submit code to the
https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/releases which the community members in the
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1616394.0 will vote to include or not in the next release of Ixcoin. However, Ixcoin is intended to closely mirror code updates to Bitcoin (except for differences previously outlined) to allow for easy interoperability with Bitcoin-related third party services and APIs.
Who created Ixcoin?
The Ixcoin fork of Bitcoin was created by Thomas Nasakioto in May 2011.
Is it profitable to mine Ixcoin?
With merged mining, little extra work is necessary to mine Ixcoin alongside Bitcoin which benefits both chains and increases rewards.
Will Ixcoin replace Bitcoin?
Ixcoin will exist in parallel to Bitcoin, just like multiple currencies coexist today. Exchanges will enable BTC/IXC conversions and the market will determine the value of each.
Where can I find out more about Ixcoin?
Since most Bitcoin-related material also applies to Ixcoin, please refer to the Bitcoin Wiki for more information. For current events contact the growing community of developers and board members of the Ixcoin Project
