Awesome!

Are there any faucets or giveaways coming?


We do plan to have those and more, but it will take a bit more time.
We have not yet defragmented the premine into the final wallets, to be presented to the public and have decided not to touch a single coin out of the budget until we do so. We are taking this very seriously and so are being cautious about declaring any giveaways or bounties and such before everything is ready and transparent to the public.
Of course everything is already open and accessible via the block explorer, but not so easy to audit since it is spread over 6,000 blocks (1-6000).

Our hopes are that the community will see the levelheaded and thought-out approach we are taking and be patient with us as we iron out all the kinks and implement everything that is planned.

Oh and we just jumped to 360mhs! wohoo!! Smiley

Two days after mining has begun, we have broken our own record and reached a new high of 312mhs in the network.
Hashrate keeps going up and we are very thankful to all the miners who are taking part.

A coin for every Country..

Can your pool support all the country's?

time to upgrade  Wink


lol - I'm sure more pools will come along very quickly.
We are not running this first pool by the way. It is someone from the crypto community in Israel.

I was watching the timer on their website prior to launch. The wallet was posted within 20 seconds of it counting down to 0. There were no delays, or excuses, or aborted launches. It seemed to be one of the cleaner launches of the past month. Their website looks great, and you can tell a lot of work went into this. The presence on these forums was a bit light prior to launch, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course. This looks like a cool little project to me though.


We highly appreciate the positive and levelheaded review. Smiley
Doing our best here with the available resources.

Yeah it's another nation coin, they do big pre mines to give away to said nation. Most of them seem to do OK so far. This was at least a smooth launch, which is quite rare these days.

Where was the smooth launch? It was released way before the announced time  30 minutes before the deadline diff was more than 2 as above posted

I can assure you that mining did not commence a single minute before 23:00 GMT+2.
Please keep in mind that there are nodes all over the world and block explorer is at a different time zone than Israel, not to mention Israel has just switched off daylight savings and so if you are seeing anything that is not in tune with the time we announced, perhaps that is the reason.

At exactly 23:00 we opened the downloads of wallets and a few minutes later released the genesis block to github.
There was an almost immediate spike in hashpower and therefor in difficulty as well.
Difficulty was extremely low since the premine ended and first few dozens of blocks came in very quickly, however, DigiShield has sprung into action and did a great job averaging everything out to 1 minute per block.

We have spent a ton of work for over a month preparing this coin and launch and we do not deny things could have been even better, but all in all we believe we did a solid job and will keep working hard to make Isracoin a great, long lasting cryptocurrency.

We have all sorts of things in store and will update whenever there is news.

Hope all you fine people will give us just a bit of benefit of the doubt, keep an open mind and give constructive criticism. Smiley

6k mined already after wallet release lol what a joke,

Anyway, there's already at least 3 cryptos for israelis...


6k blocks were the premine.
Since mining opened to public, only 120 or so blocks have been mined. the average time is 1 minute.



what is the block reward and when halving?

Block reward is 50. blocks every 1 minute on average (DigiShield diff retarget mechanism)
Halving in 3 years.

The official launch announcement in Israel took place during a TV segment about the coin, in one of the most prominent economic TV shows in the country.

Which tv show? And do you have proof of this?

It actually appeared in 3 different news shows during the evening, but the first two were just briefly discussing it as promo to the latter. The main segment was in a show called "Night Channel" (pardon me for not having a good translation from Hebrew for this Smiley the only other option would be "Night Pipe").

In any case, you asked for proof and we will have the full interview posted on youtube in a few days, including English subtitles.



Yea yea saw it, The way you come out with it is wrong and the crypto community doesn't like it or doesn't give a fuck, there is no hype and you are missing alot of potential, Remember you want the world not the Israelis to own that coin , I guess you are too excited or something but you are doing it wrong, I would suggest you to do few things but first you have to delay the launch 

Good luck


We appreciate the feedback, though not entirely sure what you mean, since you're not really specifying.
Of course we understand the importance of having the crypto-community outside of Israel support Isracoin and their importance for its success and we will do our best to work with them. If you have specific issues and suggestion on how to improve on what we are doing, we welcome it and are happy to discuss. You are very welcome to email us with all your suggestions and concerns.

Thanks

Isracoin
- a cryptocurrency for Israel (Sybmol: ISR).


Isracoin Airdrop Phase-I
Integration as means of payment in businesses
Phase-I of the Isracoin plan has begun on May 6th 2014 at Midnight GMT+2.



THE ISR MULTIPOOL
The ISR Multipool (Alpha Version) is now open to the public. (Currently supported algos: Scrypt, X11)
There's still plenty of work to be done on it but we'd love for you to start testing it out.
We'd like to stress the point that this is just a tool for the ISR miners, to help stabilize the ISR market against dumpers and other multipools.
This is by no means the main driver for the coin. Sometimes you just need stopgap measures and so here we are.
Check the multipool out here:
http://isrmultipool.info/


Isracoin Phase-II Staggered Release Model
The Isracoin national coin allocation will proceed slowly and in a staggered manner
putting coins in the hands of more people than allocation by way of mining.
This will greatly increase the amount of users and the actual value of the network
while significantly increasing market stability.
Read the full text of the Staggered Release Model announcement



RELEASED FOR PUBLIC MINING MARCH 26th 23:00 (GMT+2)

A MULTIPHASE, STRUCTURED AIRDROP PLAN WILL COMMENCE MAY 6th 2014 AT MIDNIGHT (GMT+2)

Isracoin is a cryptocurrency for Israel. It is based on scrypt and is 10% premined for Airdrop distribution, has a maximum of 4.8 billion coins, block rewards of 50 coins every 1 minute and DigiShield difficulty retarget every 1 minute as well.
The premined coins will be distributed to the population of Israel and Israeli businesses, commencing on May 6th and in accordance with the plan set forth in the official website.

Isracoin was announced March 24th 2014 and its website opened to the public for the first time. The official launch announcement in Israel took place during a TV segment about the coin, in one of the most prominent economic TV shows in the country.

Israel has one of the highest levels of centralization of wealth and assets, with about 20 families controlling most of the industry and 5 banks controlling a whopping 93% of banking assets in the country.
 
Since 1962 not a single new bank has been established in Israel and lack of competition means the public pays high fees and rates and receives unfavorable terms in their day to day banking. Credit card clearance is also controlled by one body, which has a vested interest in keeping credit card processing fees high. The Israeli banking system is rife with interest over-charging on credit, low interest on deposits and high fees and charges for no apparent reason. The public has no choice but to endure this, while the cost of living skyrockets. Isracoin will help change that.

The purpose of the Airdrop is to put a significant quantity of Isracoins in the hands of as many Israeli citizens and businesses as possible, within a relatively short timespan, in order to jumpstart a strong economy that is based on real-world commerce.
The Airdrop distribution to businesses is an incentive to adopt and implement Isracoin as means of payment, to make the currency geared more towards real commerce.

PREMINE ADDRESSES:
All premine coins have been further consolidated from blocks  1-6000 -> 32 addresses -> <10 addresses.
This was done in order to improve transparency of the premine to the general public.
The premine addresses are now structured according to the distribution plan phases and divided to cold storage addresses and live addresses.
Cold storage will always contain the bulk of the coins, for when they are called upon as needed by the different plan stages to refill the live wallets. The live addresses will be much smaller chunks of coins that are being distributed as the plan moves forward.
For the live operational budget wallet, we plan on adding a spreadsheet (most likely a public read-only google doc) that will contain information on the various expenses from the budget.
