No, I am not the creator/developer of this coin.

This coin was originally launched by "AquaMan" in this thread:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232087.0

He premined 250,000, but when the coin was launched, someone with much more hashing power than he, forked the chain, and apparently those coins were lost.  He got mad, and locked the thread.

I am "re-releasing" this coin, with the blockchain still entact.  But as of this point, no one has claimed that they received the 250,000 coins.


Here is a link to the Windows binaries:  https://mega.co.nz/#!pNw3jAwI!TjFZkWtltmEwiQqt1PBknif_AQUnGVR5Th4utv_PNDw (you'll have to copy and paste that link, can't just click it)


Disclaimer: I did not compile these binaries, and can make no warranty as to their safety.  I haven't seen anyone have any problems with them yet.  If someone else was able to grab the source code, and wants to post it, then by all means do it.    Here's the source according to Kyune:  http://www.mediafire.com/download/ww6g6m6a6auwt3c/Icecoin.tar.gz

From what I can tell:
Block target time: 1 minute
Block subsidy: 10 Icecoins
Difficulty retarget time: 250 blocks (Not sure about this)

The current block count as of this posting: 488  (4,880 coins are in the wild)

RPC port = 8839
port = 8849

Bounties:
We need a pool for this.  I don't have many coins to offer as a bounty, since there was no "effective" premine.  If anyone wants to donate toward the pool bounty fund you can do it here:  HjE8x3Q58Raut5ecNwvWR116RAPNvP5ELn
As of right now the bounty stands at 3,000 ICE

Update: Someone just donated a good amount of ICE for a bounty.  I'm going to talk with cryptsy about using this to get ICE added.  

10,000 ICE bounty for the first exchange to trade ICE.  (cryptsy most likely)

Interesting. It was launched, locked, and relaunched in a matter of hours. This has to be some sort of record.

R-R-R-R-Rage Quit!!  ;D

He got mad that he couldn't dump his 250k  ;D

We should give the miner that forked the chain a medal

I did not give you permission to do this.

See definition: Open-source

Nolo, you are great!!!!

WARNING -  This is not an official re-launch of IceCoin, I am one of the developers of IceCoin. This coin Nolo is marketing here no longer exists and is damaged, we are currently working on the new IceCoin that will be launched soon. -
 - Who knows where those pre-mined coins went.

 I will update on the thread when IceCoin is ready for release.

Go to toilet厕厕厕厕! We don't need your permission!

Well if it doesnt exist how can he relaunch it? It obviously must exist or is this another version of abstract coin?

This coin does exist.  I'm mining it right now as a matter of fact  ;D

The only damage is that you didn't get to keep the coins you planned on premining.  

You were damaged by your incompetence.  The coin is fine.  

LOL

yes let's mine it!

Here we go again.  I finally stopped laughing about zenith coin

So, Zenith Coin, round 2? Pass  ::)

So, you are working on the re-re-launch...Dude, just like Zenith Coin, your done

More like incompetent developer, round 20.  

I'm just giving the people what they want!  A pissed off developer and a coin that now has a fair launch  :D

Yah... So funny

We need a pool for this. 

I'll work on mining some coins to offer as a bounty for one. 

need your superpower to mine this one, lol ;D

I wonder who stole those coins? They should be offering thoe bounties.

Anyone else notice the total irony that the coin is called ICE - ice melts - his coins disappeared  ::) ??? :D

Fail by desgin?  :P

lol that's great.

No worries here, the coin will not be mineable soon, it will be completely un-operational -

 Official re-launch of IceCoin will take place within the next two days - :)

Okay so its launch, fail, relaunch, and another relaunch, all within a week? Most within a couple of hours.

I like how you keep trying to kill your own coin.

How will you make it unoperational?

I bet if we continue to mine this one, it will go to cryptsy, and it will be one that is really a fair start!

If you aren't worried about it, why are you giving me orders in PM to remove this thread?

What happens if he doesnt remove it in the 10min? 

I felt a sudden shiver and heard creepy horror music.

It's already been 20 minutes.  I keep looking out my window, waiting for the mafia to arrive.  

p2pool open again.

Here are the parameters:

cgminer --scrypt -o next.afraid.org:8115 -u yourICEaddress -p . --queue 0 -s 1

statistics available here: http://next.afraid.org:8115. This pool uses a PPLNS payout scheme, and is stratum enabled. The PPLNS window is set to only one hour.

3% fee at this time. (it may be set to a lower value in the future)

I wish every coin release went like this.  Its a lot more fun

We didnt re-release the coin, Nolo has nothing to do with this coin, he took it upon himself to re-release it after he apparently took interest in it, or maybe he attacked it and took those 250k coins, why else would he do it...

 Also, Nolo, we are not worried about it, we havent re-released it, but you put up a post announcing its re-release.. ??? Shows what kind of respect and class you have I guess.....

 I will be re-releasing IceCoin soon, no one else, anyone claiming to be releasing it is releasing nothing -

 Back to work...

Good Idea.  Re-releasing coins has worked out real good this week

You sure? page is down on my end.

Well if the coin was canclled and the binaries where taken down then it failed. Butsince Nolo released it again and it is working and people are mining it then technically it was re-released.

and premine more before you re-release it, no one will care about your premined coins, premine 100 mil instead of 250,000 this time, work harder (read: premine harder)

lmao  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Can I rerelease it also?  Let's all rerelease it.. It's kinda boring with nothing new to mine..

You're right, that was a bad copy/paste, here are the right parameters:

p2pool open again.

Here are the parameters:

cgminer --scrypt -o next.afraid.org:8115 -u yourICEaddress -p . --queue 0 -s 1

There seems to have a lot of orphans now.

And I have still only have two valid blocks. What happened?

another coin with a horrible launch, what else is new :D

argentum launches sometime tonight, hopefully it wont drop the ball too :D

The blockchain is stuck at block 512

I did clone the original Icecoin source from github.  I've now tarballed it from my Ubuntu VM and uploaded it here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ww6g6m6a6auwt3c/Icecoin.tar.gz

I have no intention of mining this coin, nor any so-called "re-release".  But I do think the code should be available, since it WAS released and people wasted their GPU cycles on it for a while before the dev's antics started.

Thanks I added that link to the OP. 

found 3 blocks in about 15 mins.

Stole?  They were mined, just not as the creator intended.  I would suggest that those bounties are currently forfeit, but who knows.  The lucky miner of those first 5 blocks (or was it 140, since that's what the OP stated when they were asked?) may decide to follow through with those after all.  Wouldn't hold my breath though.

...and no it wasn't me, and I have no intention of mining this coin, either the re-release other the other re-release, the re-re-release.

kaint unzip >> noober here! :-)

I wonder how many re-releases this thing is going to go through... 2 days till the second one... then what? A week until the third?

use the command
on a linux machine.

mined this to death last night.
Looks dead though :(

Not dead... just waiting for the re-re-release

You might want to read up on the concept of MIT license and Open Source there buddy.

This is so fucking hilarious in hindsight :)

Nolo is a master troll! Laughed sooo hard. Total fail on aquaman's part.

lol
Ill add 1k coins to bounties. I dont want to see this die like FC2 did.
nolo, lmk if you still are organizing bounties

Update on the status of this coin:

Someone just added a good donation to the bounty program.  I have raised the bounty amount for a pool, and am going to try to talk to crypsty about getting ICE added.  

Keep mining this coin!  Difficulty is very low, so lots of coin to be made!

New bounty added.  10,000 ICE for the first exchange to add this coin. 

So, is the new trend? Ran out of ideas for shit coins, so now people just steal existing ones?

Hard to steal what's free isn't it?

(It's a rhetorical question.  In other words, no answer from you is necessary.)

Not really, stealing someone else's idea, is still stealing. And, you aren't even stealing a good idea. So sad.

 :'( so sad.  I'm crying for you.  

See the tear?

 :'( :'( :'(

Besides, the first sentence in the OP, is that I didn't create this coin.  

He failed.  I picked it up.

Which makes it a bigger joke than it already was. Search for Zenith Coin, read it, and then, go fuck yourself, idiot.

Can I atleast use lube?  I was there for Zenith Coin.  It was hilarious.  This thread was hilarious.  Life's too short to be as angry as you are all the time.

It was funny. The first time. The second time, it just makes you look like a loser.

Hashrate is extremely low.  Could even mine this successfully with CPUs right now. 

this is a nice coin, unique. request to be on an exchange!
