iCoin is currently in the works of developing a simple 1-click setup wizard that most people are used to, as opposed to a .zip extraction file that's nearly unanimous among the cryptocurrency world. Just another thing that will make iCoin different and more apt to expand into the entire marketplace  Updates to come, stay tuned! - Ridg  |

I have lost a fair amount of iCoin and btc on the latest scam exchange coinmarket.io recently which has put me off virtual currencies for the last week.
It was a small portion of my holdings but I have lost trust in all exchanges after gox and now coinmarket.io .
I was writing about Coinmarket.io... At one moment it seemed like a good exchange. But after 3-4 shutdowns, i decided not to hold my iCoins there. Poloniex is bad too... How you can call this 13% duty that happened few days ago??? Cryptorush shuts down too sometimes, so trading here is not safe too. Now i trust only 4 alt-exchanges: 1. Cryptsy 2. CoinEX 3. MintPal 4. BTer It's pity that iCoin is not presented on these exchanges... But I think in the near future it will take it's place. Yes, frankly enough almost every single exchange has switched to voting as it's primary means of accepting on new currencies. It's a bit unfair because we all know that the vast majority of currencies either use bot votes or 'bought' votes (voting with btc donations) so they are no longer accepting the coins with the most potential or the most marketable, simply the ones with the biggest BTC holders or willing to pay for / orchestrate the most voting bots. Don't get me wrong, there's certainly coins that pay their dues when it comes to getting the community involved, but most don't. In reference to exchange security, I'm right there with you minecrew, I'll never keep more than 5-10% of my BTC, LTC or ICN funds on an exchange at any given time. In fact, there is 0% of my funds on exchanges at this time. I keep my wallets on an encrypted stainless steel Ironkey flash drive (you can put it in the oven or sink it down to the Titanic and it still operates perfectly fine) and additionally I encrypt all my wallets, keep my flash drive in my safe, and upon making transactions I perform a wallet backup each time to 3 different locations with equal security provisions. Call me crazy, but MtGox gave me a scare as well. With that being said, I see no large harm in making trades daily on exchanges. Everyone please just take precautions dealing with very new exchanges. We have full intent to list on all the exchanges you listed above with time minecrew. In fact, we are currently on the voting for BTer, MintPal, and (soon to be) Cryptsy. It will be far easier to attack each of these one at a time as a community. This is absolutely open for discussion and I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts!
Which one should we go after first?
A. Cryptsy
B. MintPal
C. BTer |

I just had the opportunity to speak on WGDR Community Radio in Vermont for an uninterrupted 1-hour time slot about Bitcoin, iCoin, cryptocurrencies, and manipulation of monetary systems and precious metals. There were a few hundred listeners tuning in this morning (many of which were not even familiar with Bitcoin) and part of the community tuning in was through a VP chairman of a widely recognized credit union.
The commentary and discussion was fantastic, we will post an archived link as soon as it becomes available!

Hey everybody, here is the full update from coinpayments, referred to us by one of our merchants...
Hello username,
It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the closure of CoinPayments.net. FinCEN has ruled that Bitcoin is in their purview which would make us a money transmitter. We simply do not have the resources to register with FinCEN and most of the 50 states as a MSB and comply with all of the AML/KYC laws (and no realistic way to raise the funds to do so.)
The shutdown will happen in 3 stages:
1. We will stop accepting new user registrations effective immediately.
2. We will stop processing new transactions at 11:59:59 PM EST on March 24, 2014 (transactions already in progress at that time will be completed).
3. The website will otherwise remain operational until 11:59:59 PM EST on March 31st, 2014 when it will be shut down.
Any refunds due must be requested by the end of March 31st, 2014 and any funds held in your account withdrawn. Keeping the website open for a week from the last new transaction should give everyone ample time to wrap up their affairs in the site.
We extend our sincerest apologies to you and everyone else who has relied on CoinPayments for over 7 months,
MrData & pr0d1gy
CoinPayments.net

Metstijl, we appreciate and welcome all constructive criticism! I believe you're with SmartCoin if I'm not mistaken and a member of your team reached out to us on twitter. Good to hear from you guys, and excited to see the outcome and long-term gameplan among us as well as other currencies built for stability and longevity.
Will you guys be speaking at the Crypto Currency Convention at all? If so, let's meet and grab a drink. Cheers - team iCoin

Looks like Coinmarket.io might end up being a scam exchange , I would also be very weary of Poloniex... trade and get your funds off ASAP. Cryptorush and swisscex appear to be ok!
Bittrex is a great Exchange. We know the founders, their background comes from security professionals (Qualys, Amazon, Blackberry). iCoin has an affiliate link to register an account, which helps gauge where the referring traffic is coming from. PLEASE GO HERE: http://bittrex.com/?af_id=Q9u14VA2 and register an account. Bittrex has a clean UI, and seems like they have the best shot (security speaking here) so far. I agree Johnny, actually out of all the exchanges I've tested (nothing against any other besides coinmarket who has given us a bit of grief) they have been the fastest in terms of transaction speed thus far. Super professional crew that comes from a background in security. As soon as they have a bit more exchange volume, I'm confident they'll be a dominant force in comparison to other exchanges!! Excited to grow together with them |

Not trying to call you out at all, but just as a future request to everyone, can you please provide your wallet address / confirmation of bounty in either a PM to myself or on our Facebook page? We're trying to prevent our main thread from becoming a bounty thread, as those are now not permitted on btctalk. One or two posts is totally fine, just don't want things getting out of hand as we approach further momentum |

An update that has been long awaited! We appreciate your patience but just wanted to let everybody know that we now have a finances page to give the community visibility on our premine distribution! This page is aggregated into a pie chart and itemized reporting list based upon all member's distribution of iCoin, and this has been updated daily, and will continue to be. As mentioned in a previous comment of mine, we have successfully distributed over 1-million iCoin, with the intent to distribute another 1.5-million for the remainder of 2014. We give away iCoin every single day to valued fans and users, and for the use of bounties. However, our next big giveaway will be at the Crypto Currency Convention, in which I will be in attendance and giving away 75,000 iCoin! At the event, iCoin will also release a HUGE announcement, that will involve a large giveaway as well. That's the most I'll say on that topic, as I'd like to keep it a surprise leading into the event, but just know that we have the user's best interest in mind and try to fulfill all reasonable requests. One of the requests we've gotten is for us to provide the community visibility and future plans for our premine, and we feel this new page of the website will assist in that regard. Open for comments, ooh's and ahh's, and suggestions of course. - Ridg http://geticoin.com/finances/

Why did the network hashps drop so much, did a pool fork again?... sure hope not lol
edit: looked at all pools and doesnt look like any forked. Hopefully i am right
No forks However my best guess is that upon CoinMarket going down and now all this BS with Poloniex (they seem to be handling it professionally though) iCoin trading volume has stalled quite a bit. Also, since CoinMarket and Poloniex just so happened to be our 2 biggest exchanges, it has hurt our price. When our price gets hit, we appear lower on the rankings of both CoinMarketCap and especially CoinWarz, thus less people actively mining. This is an educated guess. I could be completely off my rocker, but something tells me the recent exchange issues are part of the problem. Thanks for sticking with us everybody! Right now is the perfect buying opportunity |

We are tracking (the premine) this through a robust accounting plugin that takes information from the teams's reporting and aggregates that to a pie chart and itemized list, with blockchain confirmations for each payout or transaction. This will be available to the public to see this upcoming week (Jason, can you clarify that please) and we just have a few more tweaks to make for perfection. This will be a new page on our website How is this coming along? I think more info on this would also inform the people posting just above me. Are you still expecting to get it up and running for the public this week? Oops, just saw your new comment fablkak, see my reply above please. |

2 questions about the current transparency of icoin:
1) Are there any charts available that show the distribution of icoin among wallets?
2) Is there an audit of the number of icoins spent so far on promotions from the pre-mine?
I am under the impression over 50% of the coins in circulation are still in the hands of the developers.
I won't answer any questions fully as i do not have completely accurate information. The coin sat at ~50mh/s for quite some time, so i would assume there are a few who hold decent amounts. About 44,000 new coins are created each day. As for bounties i am not sure what has been paid, but i know they have had some giveaways, and all say they are paid their bounties. They did have one mining promotion which rewarded something like 150,000 ICN over 2000 blocks. Perhaps some of the dev team has some better info for you Hey buttonmc, those are some great questions, and the reasoning for asking them is very valid considering the amount of pump n' dump scam coins which pop up each day it seems We have currently given over 1,000,000 iCoin out for promotions and bounties. This also takes into consideration what myself, our project manager, and our designer were given to help launch the coin. Upcoming large giveaways will include charity events as well as an upcoming Crypto Currency Convention! I will be speaking at the event, and also giving out 75,000 iCoin to those in attendance In terms of future plans, this is negotiable dependent on our current needs and time-frame for particular marketing activities, but after an in-depth meeting on this subject, we would like to distribute 1mm - 1.5mm over the entirety of this year, and then anywhere from .5mm - 1mm per year after that, until the conclusion of the premine is spent. This puts us at a time-frame between 3.5 - 7 years in total for the full distribution of the premine, in which developer holdings will decrease and total coins in production will increase, thus skewing the ratio of premine withheld from public trade. We have a robust accounting aggregation tool that has tracked our payouts thus far, and all the members of the iCoin team have access to this, which makes for a nice little system of checks and balances. Furthermore, all this information is routed to an itemized pie chart broken down by Marketing | Promotion | Development | Premine Remaining, etc... In fact this is something we still need to go live with on the site! Thanks for your reminder. I'll aim to make this a priority today / tomorrow. Hope that answers your question. Let me know if you need anything else. Here to help! - Ryan |

Dahum, haven't looked at bitcointalk forums for a few days and so much is happening with iCoin.
Really surprised the coin is still under the radar! I will be buying up another 2000 at these prices.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. There's a few actionable items that need to take place prior to getting a large growth surge. I'm placing a very heavy focus on broadening our social media channels throughout the next month, leading into the convention. We plan to have 10,000+ Twitter followers and 1,000+ FB fans by that time. In addition, I have a friend of mine John who has been working on merchant partnerships, and my other main focus will be publications. We are spooling up for a crescendo of awesomeness... BTW, if anyone knows any good ins with some major industry specific pubs (Coindesk, Bitcoin Mag, etc...) or non-industry specific (Business Insider, Tech Crunch, etc...) the iCoin team will ensure you're compensated VERY well for your introduction and finalization of an article PM me for details |
