Hey Friction,

Do you need any help with updates? Maybe someone from the community can lend a hand?

Let us know if you need anything?

@ Zed,

Are you a bitcoin user? Do you think it is a good idea to have a nearly exact copy of bitcoin that will reach maturity before bitcoin? Is there anything useful that Ixcoin can provide to the bitcoin world? How do you compare the high hash rate of Ix to other altcoins?

Can you please provide an example of a coin that has died and explain similarities to Ix.

Can you please explain how iXcoin can die with a commitment from cex.io to continue after the having event?

and its ok if its easier for you to refer to Ix as shitcoin, (Though not to be confused with the actual shitcoin) we are all adults here and appreciate your view point.

I will need help testing.

Let me first release a new version of IXCoin with just the OP_RETURN changes. Then we can test this version against the modified counterparty client.

Regarding the end of subsidy...

(1) If CEX.IO (i.e. GHASH.IO) supports IXCoin with zero subsidy.... then that's great.

I have always said a 1% inflation rate would be fine. However, important to note that there are coins out there like Ripple, Nxt, MasterCoin and Counterparty that have zero subsidy for miners. Actually, they don't require miners. They haven't exactly died off.

Anyway, it all boils down to whether the pool supports zero subsidy or not.

This issue of course is the most pressing issue for IXC and I would like the IXC foundation to cast a vote on this.
