I don't know if you know the answer or now but do you know who mined milions of iX early on as unredeemed at output to all different addresses ?

Whoever did it had to know what they were doing.

Those millions of IXC will never be redeemed. The clients were being run out of several virtual machines that have long been since deleted in the earliest of IXC attacks by yours truly. For all of those who do not remember, TN was the original pre-mine ~~scammer~~ "enthusiast" who didn't bother to disclose that fact until it was discovered post launch. That was the sole reason the "I0coin" was created.

IXC will never go anywhere till TN decides to step away.

BTW, TN is *not* a single individual, IXcoin had a developer and a front man who posted as TN who has indicated several times he is not a developer at various points on the board. The original developer dropped the project after they realized that the premine wasn't going to work leaving TN to handle things on his own which is why it decayed into the zombie it was for a couple of years.

~BCX~

Thanks much for this insight to Ixc past. It got me to thinking, it would be easy to shake this zombie off, if we all agreed to code into the client a complete rejection of spends from a certain set of addresses, any of those in the distant past on the blockchain that we want to nullify, perhaps you saved a copy of those virtual machine wallet addresses? We could start with those. BTW won't want to nullify any of those old IXC addresses with coins you may have found recently. Way I see it, you earned them!

Figure you already know this BCX, but for some it might be news.
If everyone on the network installed the new version, no one could ever spend those coins again, end of story. Asain coin had to do this, as of yet the price has never recovered, but a huge community team effort went into overdrive and they stopped the developer(whom disappeared) from ever spending the (up to then) hidden premine, exchanges and everybody came back online, its a good one to learn about POS and staking too IMO.

Unless you want to work something out with ahmed_bodi to obtain the github.com/ixcoin repository, it will become the new official ixcoin developers link for 9.2 and beyond.

Thank you for your work.

I can give ahmed_bodi collaborator access to the Ixcoin github if people think he is trustworthy.

Your welcome Nasakioto, been trying to help out as time allows. As to ahmed_bodi.....I do.

I agree with GroundRod (what's a ground rod?) that a minimum fee should be added. But I don't know what that should be. I've messages Jeffrey but no response yet.

Glad you asked Vlad2Vlad:
Mostly I used these:

Interesting 59sec vid on a guy installing one similar to what I use to do:

Bitcoin fees are about to skyrocket which is how I knew they'd use LTC and doge as a bandaid. IXC will have yet one more huge advantage over Bitcoin: Way cheaper fees. And of course much faster block propagation.

Cheers!

Put that last part big, front and center on the IXCFoundation site, sounds good to me too. All I'm asking for is a note somewhere listing current commitment to tx fees from various top Miners, if possible how long into the future they will hold to that price too, the more the better.

unless changes are coded to the present source or the upcoming 9.2 work (that I still have not had a chance to review due to a few other things going on ) I believe in btc 9.2 lets you set whatever you want as a fee (Which of course advanced users can do now) however sending a tx with no fee means you may not get confirmed quickly ?? I know with btc from reading posts and listening to lectures Gavin says miners should determine the fees.

I pretty much agree with Gavin here, sounds like you do too. Here is where the IXCFoundation joins forces with the Miners and moves to warp speed. Actually I think we should change the code there to not allow even advanced users to set a fee lower than our programmed minimum. True anyone building from source can comment out our code and build a version to allow that, but I don't think the production code should allow having its fee set to zero by anyone from the user interface or the console or rpc. Having no more blocks to mine means that everyone has to pay a fee. Wouldn't you agree?

I am not making any suggestion as to what fee's should be 'coded' to or forced to or even saying that needs to be done at all.
Just pointing out that a few tweaks to the advanced features of 9.2 may be necessary to make these changes if whoever makes the final choice wants a minimum fee set. These changes may not just be commenting out a few lines of code either.....

Ya I don't see that anything needs to be changed right this second, nor in Ahmed's initial release. Sounds like a good project for me to take on though, goal of having whatever Tx fee code changes IXC needs, done by the end of the year. That means commits on github, reviewed and built into the next revision bump by ahmed, gads of stuff for me to figure out, but then I've known how to crank when I finally get going.

If Bitcoin has that option set up then we should leave it like that. Miners should set the fee since they're doing the work. So in that case, let's not change the code.

Bet ahmed will be glad to hear that too, merged mine code tested w/the old logo added & the different platforms built, as per the terms. Lets get the bounty money in escrow for Ahmed, this thing is close to being a done deal.

Its important to us though, showing confidence on the IXCFoundation site by listing the miner terms, our usage settlement cost, that's the confidence we're trying to build now. Wiping out all the older premines could be a fairly easy coding task, both it & Tx fees could be coded up and released as an update quickly if need be. Right now, I don't think we need to do either. How many coins to use would we get outta this old engine, if we nullified all those old premines...20 million, 18, 15?

@Vlad2Vlad - you must know somebody that could build an Andriod version, when the above is ready it should be easy for the right coder & might be a nice addition. Is how to print a paper wallet going to be on the IXCFoundation site too?

l8r all,
