Lol, that's what I was saying a while back about piles of merge miners not having enough IXC in their accounts, at the current price to warrant then taking the time to download a wallet and transfer from their pool.  If the value goes to $10+, then I think some of them will start taking notice and taking the time to harvest their IXC coins.  Until that time, you will need to find other interesting ways to get them to move those frozen coins around.

iXcoin is probably one of the most evenly distributed coins out there.  14 million IXC coins were merged mined... so IXC coin is in the wallets of a lot of Bitcoin miners.   The amounts are so miniscule that they don't even bother to send these coins to an exchange.   It is likely these IXC coins are still sitting in the bitparking and ghash.io pools.   Who knows if people have lost passwords to access these coins.  Who knows that if after 2 1/2 years whether these coins were accidentally lost in a hard drive.

A lot of IXC coins may actually be sitting in BTC-E wallets!  People may have not even bothered to withdraw them when they closed down IXC 2 years ago.
