Hey everyone,

2 years without posting here, what a shame!

In case you missed it, FreiXLite kindly reactivated deposits of DVC. If you wonder why they deactivated deposits, the answer is simple: there wasn't any exchange API they could use! Somebody had to do something about it, so I managed to implement it.
Here you have this beauty coded 90% by AI:

https://explorer.devcoin.org/explorer/api

The other 10% was me prompting the AI, hehe.

Last but not least, I started a DAO for Devcoin https://x.com/devcoindao which is dedicated to keeping Devcoin alive for as long as possible. You can contribute to the cause by donating XLM to this address: GAMT3VR4M5W7BK3PNIFBDQJ4B3EYJMS4QXX7SYDDJJ26PYA4FW6AVXXU and of course by keeping the memory of Devcoin anytime you have a chance to talk about Bitcoin or crypto with somebody. You should be proud of supporting the 3rd ever altcoin in the whole history of humanity!

P.S: I'll be back...

Hey everyone,

Just a little update on status of new IXCoin website:

- Website redesign - DONE (It includes new graphic design, new logo and new branding)
- Website development - 70%
- Marketing plan - In progress (we should do some noise in social networks once the new website is launched)

It took a significant amount of time, I acknowledge, but we've surpassed the halfway point by a considerable margin!

Some details, I still have some funds left from the initial funding. Unfortunately, I'm a bit concerned with budget because current price of IXC/BTC pair in Freiexchange is only at ~70ish sats. Yet, I don't ask for more funds, rather we could better help the project by pushing price up to 200+ sats. If we come together as a community, it would greatly facilitate the completion of the budget, otherwise I will have to dump the price quite lower for paying the website developer and halt progress till we can raise more funds.

If you wish to check more details on the design please visit the @Devtome channel in Telegram, there you'll also find comments from Vlad, Traxo and other guys who contributed valuable feedback.

I'll be back in about a month with more news and maybe the new website if funding works for this final phase.

Bests!

Stay tunned to the @Devcoin group in Telegram, there I'm discussing with Vlad.

Bests!

Hey there!

We have wireframes ready to completely renew the IXC website.

Expect news real soon.

Thanks for the proposal Dan. Currently Devcoin blockchain is constrained to very old Bitcoin standards. The source code might be updated, but miners haven't adopted it yet. Once we have them using 22.x, we can activate more functionality that will then enable stuff like the one you propose.

Just my 2c

Dear Devcoin community,

2023 is starting with the following challenge:

For the last few years devtome.com has been running on humble infrastructure provided by the Devcoin Foundation (DF). Given the current bear market and expected market down trend to Bitcoin at $12k or even $9k, the DF budget has become very constrained and we can't afford to keep devtome.com online anymore. Just for the record, DEVTome server requires a budget of US$25 monthly or US$300 a year. We are open to accept donations from the community in order to keep it online, but if we don't get enough money by end of week, it will shutdown till we can raise the funds.

Thanks for your understanding,

- DevElCuy,
Marshall, Devcoin Foundation

Devtome has been discontinued and is in archive mode now.

You are welcome to contribute new content at Devcoin's peak community site: https://peakd.com/c/hive-152825/created as well as Devcoin's steem community https://steemit.com/trending/hive-152825

Go for it!

We'll have to intercede for him with moderators. If Steve Jobs made it back to Apple, Vlad came come back for sure!

I was just trying to say that I'm not running IXC, I'm not the right person for taking care of the whitepaper. Vlad is the right person and we should have him back to bitcointalk, past stuff is water under the bridge, let's keep moving forward!

In regards to CMC's outdated info about Devcoin,

There is only one official account from the Devcoin Foundation (@devcoin.org) registered on CMC and so it should be the one with access to any self-reporting dashboard they provide.

No white paper will be needed once the design (and specially the logo) is revealed.

Just an sneak peek of what my designer and me are working for IXC.




DISCLAIMER

All contributions I do for IXC are unofficial .

I was waiting for more feedback from the IXC community, like in the golden age of forums but I guess people is busy somewhere else and this community got its heart iced during the crypto winter.

Have you guys lost faith on your own project?

Look, stuff happens sometimes, but somebody has to start the fire again! I'm already hiring a graphic designer that will help me for ixc.devcoin.org. The amount of IXC spent from the treasury of donations will be disclosed once all work is finished.

Let's awake the bear!

Thanks for your feedback @kickback. I agree that working on the website would be of help for IXCoin. Btw, I'm not taking any formal or official role for IXcoin or communicating anything on behalf of IxCoin. I'm just an OpenSource dev and community member, contributing whenever possible, and I do so for about 17 years now. That said, I withdraw my offer of fast-forwarding IXC codebase, actually I don't plan to contribute any code, won't elaborate on the reasons, just want you guys to have clear what my intentions are.

In regards to ixc.devcoin.org, there is a banner that sets clearly the purpose of such mirror and where it comes from.

So, if we are updating the un-official website, we need fresh info, any ideas?

Hi sandboxsand, thanks for asking!

I'm updating Devcoin's AuxPow support. It required to remove most of Syscoin based code and replacing it for Namecoin's clean and stable implementation. You can watch progress over here: https://github.com/devcoin/core/tree/auxpow

Go for it Devcoin community!

- develCuy

First of all, sorry for the delay, but it was for a good reason!

kickback, sandboxsand, cornhodlr, ViqRa, realdantreccia and other IXC people that contacted me via private channels, I can't be more thankful your kind vote of trust on my proposal! Now we have many challenges upfront but we'll conquer any obstacle if we team for the brighter future we all wish for IXC.

Next step is to plan a little bit before we take any action. I propose the following topics (in no particular order):

- Fast-forward IXC codebase to Bitcoin 23.x base
- New website
- Organic marketing (social networks)

Can you share with me what is top priority for you? Choice along your comments would be much appreciated!

See: original post

We need the majority of Devcoin network to support Segwit, including miners. Since those two conditions aren't met yet, all core 22.x nodes need to be updated with a later node in order to let them keep syncing with old nodes (that are still the majority).

Since the initial period of 3months-ish didn't work, I will double it to 6 months.

Dear IxCoin community,

It's been about 2 months since launched the new IxCoin website: https://ixc.devcoin.org (announced here) and @markm explained the relevance of IXC for the Galactic Millieu (GM) which in turn is a key project for the Devcoin Foundation (DF). As head of such organization I'm concerned about the future of IXC, since it is already an important component of an ecosystem carefully designed by markm and one a valuable type of asset in DF's custody.

What we find currently (and correct me if I'm wrong):

1. No development has been performed since Sept 2015 (only updates to text files)
2. There isn't any form of organization supporting the project
3. The website is outdated (DF is on charge of hosting only)
4. There is only one working exchange, hopefully with some liquidity, yet with low volume

I can't help with number 4, I suck at trading and market making! What I can help with is with 1, 2 and 3. My contributions to the Devcoin project since 2014 vary from reorganizing leadership, community management (recently delegated to @realdantreccia), taking care of main website, maintaining the code base and recently upgrading it from a Bitcoin 0.8.x base to the latest Bitcoin 22.x (and 23.x coming soon), all while holding the weight of an Admiral role (yeah, the one blamed for everything). If you consider that such a background deserve any vote of trust and that I have the potential to make any positive impact for YOUR project, then please let me know your insight here in this forum.

I'm listening.

Just for the record, the DVC XRP token is here: https://xrpscan.com/account/r3gHXhK1pwZFG9ESiaosxjufEVQjwGuJUd and it has 26 trustlines at the moment. Since emfox is the issuer I would like to learn more about what is current status of such token. In the case of Stellar tokens DVC and kDVC, Mark and me are actively supporting them.

Dear IxCoin community,

An updated (to my best understanding) copy of the old ixcoin.org website is now live at: https://ixc.devcoin.org

I will appreciate your feedback in the following link: https://github.com/IXCweb/ixc.devcoin.org/issues/new

Also, the Devcoin Foundation (DF) is evaluating current status of IxCoin as a project, given its relevance for the Galactic Millieu and DF's treasury. Can you share with me your thoughts on what is current IxCoin status and your vision for it in the near future?

Sincerely,

- develCuy
