With the drop in hash, does f2pool still have majority control on the network.

Ie: Can we update ixcoin through other pools yet?

No, f2pool dropped their IXC hash to update to new code. Furthermore, we have made efforts to induce new large pools to mine iXCoin (for free). The biggest ones being BTCCHINA, Ant Pool and of course f2Pool and also stateside pools like Mintsy and also the largest pool in America.

If things work out according to plan then iXCoin will soon be the most secured alt-coin in the world - well above even Namecoin and I would definitely shoot to go above the security level of even Bitcoin. Understand that goal is nearly impossible but it's what I'm pushing for.

Everyone needs to keep in mind that there is ZERO reward for mining ixCoin and although these pools can merge mine it along with BTC, efficiencies are lost and it can be very costly to add a merged coin like IXC so getting these large pools to add IXC won't be easy and it's possible we will fail but we will not fail from a lack of trying.

Since IxCoin is merge mined, wouldn't surpassing Bitcoin's hash require a fork to re-separate mining?
