As a few of you sharped eyed supporters know, we have been added to Mintpal V2. The new and much improved Mintpal trading platform that the good people at Moolah have taken over, we are sure it will be better than before and be the #1 place to buy and trade IOC.

We knew in time and with constant developments and hard work, we would not stay under the rader for much longer, the steady price rise is a testament to all the hard work been done here by our team and our loyal supporters, we thank each and every one of you for all your efforts in making the world realize what a fantastic coin we have here.

Tonight we will also be on cryptoradio.ca we are the very first crypto coin to be sponsoring their fantastic site and everyone knows you always remember your first time!

All this comes at perfect timing with the big announcement tomorrow detailing our fantastic new crypto wallet! Did we also mention it is the only wallet in crypto that uses unique user names to send and receive coins? I think we did!

Like we have said before, it takes time to build a solid foundation for our rise to the top, here at iocoin, we do not stop!

Well guys, we are going to give you a little teaser of what will come on Tuesday!

There will be a full announcement on Tuesday also with a special give away for the launch!

Mini Update.

We have added a google+ page  and a google blogspot now.  So please check us out and remember to give us a nice +1 rating!
(also you might just find out new information before people do here!)
Blog: http://iocointeam.blogspot.sk/2014/08/io-coin-team-developments-and-updates.html?spref=tw

The blog will be used for mainly updating people on the social side, mentioning all the updates, promotions and payments being made by the iocoin team every day.  Also showing people exactly how hard  the team is working here, when people invest in us, we invest long hours and go the extra mile to make sure your investment keeps as stable as it can do, in this  crypto world.

The IO Dev Team is delighted to sponsor the fantastic radio station dedicated to great music and crypto currency http://www.cryptradio.ca/ i am sure lots of people from iocoin and the crypto community will be listening in, hopefully one of our team members here will be able to make a guest appearance and give the listeners so extra info about iocoin (and maybe some extra special info before anyone else knows about it).

So make sure to tune in Monday 8PM EST and please all twitter users.
Retweet the tweets made by us and cryptradio!  (follow: @cryptradio)

You can actually see PoS2.0 kicking in, on the block explorer, starting at Block 65002  $IOC is now PoS2.0 Compliant!

A little update.

A thank you to the fantastic member baby222 who upgraded their new translation page of our main announcement.  All other people who made translations have been contacted, but so far only the Chinese and German translations have been updated.

Please make sure to update all translations, at least once per month, thank you.

IONS, we had some slight issues with the server, it is clear to see other coins do not like it, that we have this fantastic feature with its easy to use interface and every day our server ($300 a month) is being attacked by bots causing DDoS.  Our server is secure against these attacks, but it does have a impact on the IONS feature now and then, causing it to slow down and acting like the 200 iocoin fee has not been paid.

Please note, anyhow who should encounter this problem, simply check your transactions tab in the iocoin wallet. If you see there your transaction payment has been sent, then do not worry, your name has been registered, but will just take longer to appear, please do not send the payment twice.


Also to add: We have two more fantastic people join our Dev team, one is a expert in  programming which will help ease the load from the other Devs (as we have got lots of good features in the making) and the other great guy is a fantastic graphical designer who is working hard on bringing lots of nice 'skins' to the new (never seen before in crypto) wallet.

One more thing.  "If you could have iocoin in your pocket? How would you feel? 

Thank you baby222, for updating your translation to our new announcement with fresh updates.

Note: If all people who translated the main announcement, please make sure to update it once per month, thank you.

We would just like to add our IONS feature, where you can create you own unique username  to easily send and receive payment is getting very popular.
So please make sure you get your name, before someone else beats you to it!  

Just to add, there is a great deal of work being done on the social side that  is not mentioned here, you can rest assured that not only the Devs but our social team is working hard every day to make this coin grow and grow!  

PS: we are updating the server, so please DO NOT create any IONS names for the time being, wait for a update here.

Fantastic to see the new updated version of the I/Ocoin announcement.  Thank you for acting quickly when prompted, really good to see.
Also fellow iocoin supporters, please make sure to check the main announcement thread for all updates.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=695855.msg7860663#msg7860663

It is fantastic to see your support.   

Best wishes The IO Dev Team.

Hi,  The web designer, has been away on vacation and will be back in the next few days and then
will be able to update the website with the new wallet, we also have a new web designer starting soon,
he has got a fantastic background in design and worked successfully on other coins.

Thank you for pointing this out to us.   We did also contact poloniex and for some reason they did not add us,
So thank you for contacting them again, if they check coins like they say they do, this coin will pass with flying colours!
(also that site has plenty of 'suspect' coins, so not a big deal if they do not add us)

We also tweeted on our official twitter account: https://twitter.com/IO_Coin to be added to the new mintpal. They will soon have the most volume once they prove the site to be trust worthy and secure again.

Also checking the website with Firefox, all appears fine.

We are also working on others features, remember people, good things come to those who wait 

Fantastic to see more people using the IONS name server to register a new name!

Only a few places left of the give-a-way so make sure to create your own unique IONS username today!

IMPORTANT: When creating a IONS name DO NOT ADD the '-io '

Correct username -  surestrike
Wrong   username  surestrike-io   

Adding the -io when creating your name will give you this username:  surestrike-io-io  !

I see a few people have added the -io part, by mistake.   enter your name only, the '-io' will be added automatically when payment is confirmed. 

Update: Just to note since changing over to the new server, when you register a new IONS name it is taking much longer that it should (15mins).
this is being worked on and will be back to normal soon.  So do not worry if you do not see your new IONS name there for a while.

Also Congratulations to Pixie-io for creating this fantastic video showing how easy it is to register a IONS username!
As a thank you and for being the first person to create a video demonstrating how easy it is to create a IONS name:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMFYcyYX9V8

(apart from a iocoin team member) We have sent you 1,000 iocoins, paying you easily and quickly using your new IONS name!
Thank you and to all for supporting this fantastic coin!  

PS: For every video we see uploaded to you tube , like the one above we will pay 500 iocoins!

So get creating today!  Very easy and will only take 30mins to do and will help get the word out to more and more people!

IONS Wallet Release - https://github.com/IOCoin/iocoin/releases



With the addition of IONS it is now easier and faster to send IOCoin to anyone  in the world. Instead of the old hex address you can now register and send coins by a unique username.

For a small 200 IOcoin fee you can register your name and your ready to send. All fees collected will be held to develop a fund for our charity donations. The fee address will be made public to our community. We will be holding a public poll to choose from well known charitable organizations to send donations to on a monthly basis. (Fees are subject to be changed if needed)
