Here's a quick summary for this week :

DIONS

This week we continued with basic tests to attempt to enter data into our testnet local block chain. The data entry being attempted is of a simple form of name and value pair. We are currently testing this on a triple I/OCoin daemon, private network.

As a test we are creating transactions where we send some I/OCoin from one node to another node. The transaction is broadcast to each node
successfully, but the end balances are not correct, although the POS blocks appear to be getting generated when we are looking at the log files.
If we can  fix this then we think the basic data entry into the BC should be successful.

We will be working throughout the weekend trying to fix this ...

HTML5 Wallet Important Update

This past week we have found a small bug affecting the backup-wallet button in the settings area. The file being generated seems to be a corrupted .dat file for some users.  To each and every one of you who have an HTML5 wallet, please follow these instructions to properly backup your html5 wallet .dat:

Windows or Mac HTML5 Urgent! Wallet BackUP


1. Open HTML5 wallet and Go to settings tab
2. Click on Show Data Folder and it will open up your IOcoin data Folder
3. After this folder is open, Please CLOSE down wallet (Make sure to completely close down wallet after this folder is open) Very Important
4. Once wallet is fully closed you are going to look for your wallet.dat file, inside the iocoin folder, make sure to copy and paste to another folder on the desktop, also it would be wise to backup to a USB stick.
5. This file will be needed to make sure all your coins are backed up and to restore incase of any wallet upgrade or computer malfunction

Now the Good News, We have Fixed this issue and we are releasing an update.... We are also adding our I/OCoin price ticker and you will now see the full balance of each address in your wallet. Please be on the look out for Monday or Tuesday release. We are going to tweet and announce here on the boards.

Like always, thank you all for your kindness and support to our continued project development.

Thanks

Joel

Looks like today was a good day for our I/OCoin holders, great to see some positive movement in the charts. From our end, we can tell you that, we are working extremely hard in making Dions a reality. We have made more progress and on Friday we will be posting our weekly update. You know, for me, it has been extremely important that we deliver nothing but the best development possible. I want to make sure that we work as hard as we can to make I/OCoin history. I feel extremely confident in our development abilities, not too down on any other project, but we have done this project without an ico, pre-mine or any type of crowdfunding. I have been taking that huge responsibility of making sure our dev team is taken care of. For this reason I would like to ask each and every one of you, to be proud of the work and what we have accomplished this far. We have our unique POS I/O Blockchain with almost instant transfer speeds and under 16 second confirmation time. Along with IONS and our unique one of a kind HTML5 wallet and soon DIONS. I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on DIONS. That will certainly be a day of celebration for me personally and our entire development team, as we will finally have data on the blockchain. This is such an important step for our blockchain future and we just can't wait to deliver it for you guys. We are also working on 2 more extremely important projects and we will update our community as soon as we have everything concrete.


3 important announcements.....


1.

Max our past lead dev finally made contact with our team and apologized for his absence. He is in good health, but unfortunately due to deteriorating conditions where he lives in Ukraine, he was forced to stop development back in December. We told Max that we wish him nothing but the best and we are praying for him and his loved ones. He did mention that whenever he had an opportunity and if things improve he would help review code.


2.

I would like to take the time to thank Wuher from Ipo Miner and Bittrex Richie and the team Bittrex. We had some random issues with withdrawals not related to our blockchain, random transactions were not getting transmitted to our blockchain. Wuher had a very good idea for bittrex which they implemented. We are now on our own server with boost 1.57. So to anyone that has experienced slow withdrawals they should now be gone. This is very important for us since our blockchain transactions are so fast people should get the same quality of speed when withdrawing their coins. If you have any issues with any exchange, please make sure to send a ticket or talk to us in slack. Thanks to Bittrex.

3.

We have been added to CXC Cash register. The cash register enables the ability for web shops to accept crypto currency. If you own a webshop or store and want to accept I/OCoin, or if anyone has any other coin and would like to change it for I/OCoin cxc cash register will perform the job.

Please make sure to visit our thread for more important updates from our team.

Talk to you all soon

Joel

To all our our community, investors and friends.

The I/OCoin development team is announcing the addition of several strong developers to our team after an extensive vetting process. Both developers are highly respected and will be working to ensure our continued blockchain development, as well as to expedite the DIONS project. One developer will be focusing primarily on DIONS. The second developer will be working with the first to take DIONS and the potential it offers to new heights. The I/OCoin development team has groundbreaking future plans and we will continue to strive for security, stability and usability. We have focused our efforts on the quality and advancement of our cryptographic developments, so it’s obvious we would look for the most highly qualified developers around to join our team.

Stay tuned friends, announcement coming..... Our team is always hard at work

Mining period is over. You can buy or trade I/OCoin IOC at this 2 exchanges below. Bittrex and Cryptsy

https://bittrex.com/Market/?MarketName=BTC-IOC

https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/IOC_BTC

Many have heard the song & now know about I/OCoin, now we need USD Pairing for people to be able to buy I/OCoin. Please help us get the word out to exchanges and lets get our coin to merchants. The video is slated to play on  HBO latino, Mun2, Vevo, Music Choice, MTV 3, HTV and many more venues. The song has our website plug at the end and it will be playing already in clubs all over the world. The reggaeton movement attracts millions and we are sure that our brand will be in peoples minds for a long time to come. More things are coming from our team so stay tuned.

We would like to inform our community that we have lost contact with our lead dev Max Antonenko. Max has been more than on point at all times with his projects and our team. We are deeply concerned for his well being. Max is our lead DEV for DIONS so at this time we don't have any status update. Max lives in russia and we have no other person of contact or way of confirming his well being. We were in constant contact with Max for the past 5 months and at no point Max had gone silent for a long period of time. We have tried every possible channel of communication with him and all have been unsuccessful. Max is the creator of POS I/O and all other fixes to our ions.

Moving forward, we are going to be positive and hope that Max is well. We hope he can find a way to contact our team and at least inform us of his well being. We have been in contact with our Community Manager Richard Groen and have informed him of this concerning situation.

We have been on point with every single goal that we have put forward and we are sure that we will once again meet our goal. Aside from DIONS, we have other projects that we are working on and we will be concentrating on those side projects, like our just released Gifts. Our Project Manager Joel, will be attending the North American bitcoin conference and everything else will be on schedule. We hope to bring you more information as it comes available and if our team does not hear back from Max within 1 week we will have no choice but to move forward in finding another lead dev. If anyone has any questions you may join us in slack or post your questions here. Finally to make it very clear our blockchain is secure, private keys are secure and this incident in no way jeopardizes the future and well being of I/O Coin

Sincerely

The I/O Coin Dev Team

IMPORTANT NOTES ON INSTALLING NEW HTML5 ON WINDOWS IF YOU HAD INSTALLED QT BEFORE

THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU INSTALLED QT AND NOW YOU WANT TO TRY HTML5 ON WINDOWS.
On windows you have to choose QT or HTML5 on wallet at a time. On OSX you can have both but only one wallet running at the time.

If you had the QT wallet and want to use the HTML5 wallet.   Please make sure of the following.

1- Back up your wallet.dat file

This is very important. Always have at least 1 backup of your wallet.dat file saved to a usb/flash drive.  It is best to have a minimum of 2 back ups of your wallet.dat file.

2- Uninstall ALL i/ocoin files and folder.  Make sure no trace of i/ocoin qt files are anywhere to be found.  

Find your i/ocoin folder, for windows simply type %appdata%
and select ROAMING  here you will find i/ocoin folder, simply delete it.

Now search for IOCoin  and i/ocoin    making sure no files are found.

Now  you are ready to install the new html5 wallet.

If the wallet does not load/run it means there are still old QT files conflicting with the html5 wallet.

IF you have deleted all previous QT files, wallet will run perfectly.

NOTE: If you have only had the html5 wallet, then you can simply update as normal and all will be fine.

Please contact us here, facebook or twitter (direct message) if you have any questions, also email: iocointeam@gmail.com

We want to address I/O Coin latest exchange price, as some of you have brought it to our attention. We can't really explain what's been going on but we can tell you, is not because of lack of effort, development, fud or even dumps from the team. IONS Fees are in wallets staking. Our community staking is at an all time high, ranging from 30% to todays 45.4%. Thats 7332968.795821151 million coins staking from a total of 16,136,471 IOC. 50 Mobile wallets, 38 to 60 Desktop wallets, this numbers don't count the hundreds of exchange addresses and wallets.

When we started our journey we promised developments that have been delivered. IONS, our unique Html5 wallets, POS I/O, Giveaways, donations, and  to this point everything has been delivered on time.  We have been here from day 1 committed to breaking development boundaries. Our team launched I/O Coin with no pre mine, no ico, 2 week mining period and full transparency from day 1. We also made a commitment from day one to stay away from Anonymity as we believe in transparency. We are here to comply with all regulations as we believe digital currency's future will transcend to more regulated markets. Those obeying the laws will be the ones looked at by real investors in the near future.

We invite our new investors to take a close look into our project, read about our unique POS I/O block chain, IONS, but most important our latest white paper on DIONS. DIONS is our leap into Data on the Blockchain. We never want to over promise. We always stay focused on our task ahead and that is DIONS. We can however say just like we have broken ground with our html5 wallet, [a never before seen wallet in crypto] development surprises and advancements, will definitely come from our team. Keep in mind, we have been laying a strong foundation for what's to come. The value of I/O Coin cannot be measured by btc pairing alone, while USD pairing is not available, from buyable exchange markets as of now. The value of I/O Coin will be measured in our blockchain technology in the months to come. It is the blockchain advances that have us excited and looking forward to our future. Our team is strong and focused and we are 100% committed to our project. If you or anyone reading this would like to join us for more chats, pm our community manager Richard Grohen to be invited to our slack team channel.
