Madawg, the chain for ixc has never died, just multiplied. They banned for life and he was tired of paying for everything. The block explorer hasn’t been paid in 6 days. One man who’s a single dad in a third world country is not gonna keep paying for everything. He’s already paid out 1 million ixcoins. It’s the community’s turn. Pitch in to develcuy address and he’ll resolve the block explorer too. If not then let it die, if it’s not to be then so be it.
But I doubt Vlad is wrong, the dark one is waiting for his currency, XIC.
Nobody can donate anything until the blocks are up to date because wallets won't sync in order to send coins.
Vlad paid for nearly a year and it looks like someone else did too. Sadly blocks still aren’t moving.
