Weakness - You need either automated methods or quick fingers
Obstacles - Finding an exchange that doesn't lag (good luck!)
Constraints - Small profit, more trades, high room for potentially lost gains if held (but this comes with the lower chance to lose big)

Fiat will be abolished in the next year, and the movement toward crypto will begin in the next 3-4 months. wait and see friends....

When a supposed fix for the exploits being discussed are actually posted publicly so they can be vetted, I will update the fusebox fork of the i0coin chain.    But so far it's all talk until the source is openly posted.   Frankly since doubleC runs the largest i0coin exchange any submission would essentially need to be a-oked by him otherwise he will have no reason to turn the exchange back on as long as there no coinfidence in the algorithms that were placed in ix/i0 coin to lead to the forks...

Why not just switch to i0coin...

I think the point of some of the complaints were the so called "24 hour notice" was extremely weakly worded and did not sufficiently notify miners that they needed to withdrawl immeidatly or else they would forfiet thier coins.. In fact the warning implied the site was simply being moved (at an indeterminent time) and the pool would continue to run... It wasn't until after it the site was taken down where any mention/sugestion that the pool was being solely to support withdrawls to exchanges.     

Either way, sounds like the wallets backing the pool have probabaly been destroyed... And as pointed out previously all those coins should simply be presumed lost forever.  That is the nature of these projects, if anyone had any true value at stake, the code is open source and anyone could have fixed it sooner had they had the economic incentive to do so.

I'm going to see if I can integrate the merged mining patch from namecoin into iocoin.. but that won't be till later this weekend, and it's have to be scheduled (and frankly voted on by the miners since it will require upgrades and a choice of a future block to go live)..

merged mining is the only thing that will save the alt chains...   IE, imagine if you could mine iocoin, namecoin, and bitcoin all simultaneously with the same hash strength.

Yeah, and the prior notice did mention the site would go down for relocation but didn’t tell people to stop mining and withdraw all their coins.... In fact it implied the pool and mining would continue...   Either way, the bug in the I0coin code hit later and made transactions impossible to perform so it was a moot point.

Of course it's up to the pool operator to decide whether or not spend the effort to turn it back on. Given that it seemed there weren't really into IO coin (other than as a ixcoin protest move)...  I'd just assume those earlier mined coins are gone unless we get word to the contrary.     Of course, if the IO coin exchange rate attracts a noticeable hashing rate and the other pools drop in strength that might lead them to reconsider.

Are the stats on the individual accounts page delayed or in real time?   My workers show shares accepted but the site reports no work recieved... Are they all being rejected/stale?

Just FYI, i was the one who published the new windows binaries.. but you are right ArtForz is the one who contributed the code.

Does the "AUTO" worker limit your choices to only the "currencies" you have recieving addresses set?  IE, can we exclude a currency if we are not interested in it and have auto pick the second best?

correction.. now 7x more profitable.

crazy prices on the exchange.. current price makes i0coins 4.5x more profitable.

i0coin's rpcport listens on port 7332 by default.

Now, do we bother with merged mining?

Just wanted to say thanks.

Got the windows binaries up on git hub (finally figured out how to do it).

https://github.com/fusebox/i0coin

Enjoy.

Hey thanks.    

Still looking for a recomendation for a quick/trustworthy place to host these windows binaries.. Just let me know and I'll get it up.

Obviously your call on this.. but I want to be clear that ArtForz  should be considered for the bulk of bounty or a share as his code led to the changes.. I'm just the shlep who checked it in.

Hopefully anyone looking for i0coin to come back to rescue thier i0coin balance or exchange out to bitcoin or solid coin (if a market shows up), would consider a tip of thier bitcoin proceeds.

Enjoy.

Where do you suggest?   I don't know what a trusted location to post these.
