IxCoin (IXC) SHA-256 based cryptocoin

27, Jan 2014

ixcoin-sha256-crypto

Ixcoin (IXC) is an open source digital currency, based on the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which is distributed over a peer-to-peer network to offer irreversible, low-cost, anonymous and decentralized monetary transactions. Ixcoin is the first Bitcoin clone or Alternative chain, created in May 2011 just a few weeks after the distributed DNS Namecoin. Today, there exists many Bitcoin clones.

Ixcoins are the unit of currency of the Ixcoin system. Similarly to Bitcoin’s BTC, a commonly used shorthand for this is “IXC” to refer to a price or amount (eg: “100 IXC”). An Ixcoin isn’t tangible. It is just a number associated with a Ixcoin Address, which is a string of 33 numbers and letters which begin with the letter x such as xa9jpgHugb2pTCpzoZcDdiHKepy8mjpddX.d

Emercoin (EMC) is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Emercoin is also the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
