There is a coin called CounterParty that works of the Bitcoin blockchain.
This plan is to port CounterParty to iXcoin. There will be no-need to change the 0.8.6 client. This is additional software to enable iXcoin with the following additional capabilities:
https://www.counterparty.co/These allows iXcoin to also work with 'exchange like' capabilities.
Let me know if there is any intersest in this project?
I am seeking 50,000 IXC for this to CounterParty port to be created. I need to read up about it. 50K is pricey. Not sure we can get that many funds together.
