Fair enough. I do think that without the bounties, the services made for ixcoin and also i0coin would not have been made so quickly though.
It will be interesting to see how much interest either of these chains has in another month or two.
The bounties do help of course. The problem, which many of us pointed out, was the sheer amount. The pre-existing coins will have an effect on the valuation of the forked coin. So having 5800 would had probably been as good as 580K simply because each would be valued more anyway. If I'm not wrong, due to this i0coin is trading for twice or thrice the ixcoin value?
