naw, what I see is that cex and f2 pool were bad partners in that they ramped up the hash so high ixc community didnt have a chance in hell of upgrading the software. IF the new version of ixc comes out it will allow things like counterparty on ixc.
ie: they have kept ixc hostage, because ixc and i0 threaten bitcoin
Also note, this could become a reality.
imagine if ix and i0 implemented atomic cross chain trading. or all of the merge mined coins did atomic trades between themselves and bitcoin......snip
The latest version allows transfers between chains as long as 1 of them supports non-standard transactions.

I found this. Coincer is an open source p2p exchange based on the Atomic protocol. It's still in development so not ready for use yet, but it looks promising. As of protocol #3 it appears to use standard Bitcoin transactions, which means we should be able to use it with iXcoin without modifying our wallet. We should keep an eye on this if we want to create a decentralized exchange for merge mined coins.
