I think there was talk a few years back about some reference to IXcoin being Xcoin because of some reference to "I AM X COIN" being written somewhere in its code or in the first block or something but maybe somebody with a better understanding of IXcoin could chime in.

One of the prominent community members here is Daniel Treccia https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2226756 and he is the man who could probably elaborate on this but it could be just some rumour. There are even rumours that Daniel has House of Grimaldi blood flowing through his veins so rumours are 6 to a dozen around here
