This is I/O Coin 7th year anniversary (7/24/2014).

On this episode the ioc devs discuss the upcoming DVM smart contract layer implementation
which will bring full Ethereum smart contract compatibility along with many other upgrades.

I/O Coin (iOC) was fair launched on July 24th, 2014. IOC is a Privacy based cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem project.
IOC was initially launched via POW X11 (video card resistant) algorithm. The difficult mining period lasted for 2 weeks. This in
order to properly and fairly distribute 16M coins before switching over to our own unique flavor of Proof of Stake Cipher to secure
our blockchain. There are around 19 Million iOC in circulation with a 1.5 IOC staking reward per block. The remaining IOC are
minted via POS reward system for Stakers who work on confirming transactions. Stakers also receive transaction fees from on
chain services. Their is no governance model. We value freedom and the community was built with a free, fair minded and decentralized
spirit. IOC was launched without any Initial Coin Offer (ICO) or Premine.

In 2015 we were the first ones to move away from the Bitcoin QT wallet and replaced it with a unique "fully decentralized"
HTML5/JS based UI wallet. Along with IONS DNS. In 2016 The iOC community and developers formed the I/O Digital foundation
to further awareness of the open source public blockchain as it was done for Bitcoin, Litecoin and a few other fair launched projects.
In 2017 I/O developers upgraded iOC's blockchain protocol to codename DIONS "Decentralized Input Output Name Server" further
enhancing the base platform to host decentralized applications.

iOC Enabled On Chain Services include:

The IOC Blockchain enables identity storage, you can store your own personal identification and be in full control of who can view it and
who you share it with.  Our avatar creation allows storage for art and pictures. Also deeds, copyrights, trademarks, proof of ownership,
data and much more. All of which are fully encrypted, fully controlled by you. Dions Pay, Private and Public identities, Private Dion send
Addresses, AES 256 Encrypted 1MB Document/Data (upload, transfer via private users) capabilities, along with AES 256 Encrypted Instant
Messaging. The I/O dev team also enabled and increased capacity to 4MB blocks with up to 16 second confirmation times. Along with our
very own POS Cipher and shuffle staking features. Ensuring that even low weighted users would always see a reward for their work.

The IOC Dev team is now focused on enabling Smart Contracts to ensure a future launch of "Chameleon - a scalable entropy based molecular
graph ledger, to advanced interoperability of multiple blockchains and deploy our own scalable virtual machine and I/O abstract smart
contract Ecosystem". The team will follow Chameleon with DIOEX. Essentially creating a completely private, secure and fully decentralized
economic ecosystem.

IOC is a fully decentralized world wide cryptocurrency maintained by the I/O Digital Foundation and the iOC World Wide Community.  iOC is
 here to give back control to the people.

June 23, 2021 Development Update

After 2 weeks of testing and further inspecting around solidity we have decided to go with our own route to molding our Dvm (Dions Virtual Machine).
We will be using “Dions payload” for first tests of deploying our smart contracts to the iOC Dions testnet.
This will involve us also testing the virtual machine Dvm that processes the code for example;

cycle — create — call functions



As we progress, with the code work we will start to receive test results. And as we get further along the main smart contract language “ide tools” will be added so
that our Dvm will be able to handle solidity compiles within the Dions ecosystem. This approach will provide us with the same user appearance as the smart contracts
in Ethereum but the mechanism under the Dvm hood will be our own unique code work.
As soon as this is accomplished will get to live testnet for wider testing and perfection. We will be releasing an updated whitepaper with all technical enhancement details
once we are through testing all our new added spec features.

We are estimating, if we stay the fulltime course with no delays 3 to 4 weeks to reach live DVM RC1
Please consider donating to our devfund which helps our team in keeping working Full Time…. iOC never had an ICO and the team works purely by donated time in keeping
with fair, core and decentralized Bitcoin fundamentals.

iOC Development Update March 26, 2020

Today we would like to update the iOC community on the status of the iOC Nighthawk Protocol development progress.

Nighthawk Protocol Update

Development and testing of the Nighthawk Protocol core changes have continued on a private testnet following severe illnesses of some
dev team members during the first quarter 2020 (not related to Covid-19). 

Initial developments covered the base framework integration for ring signature sending, in addition to the already existing stealth
(shade payment) sending that was already incorporated in our Aurora / Sirius upgrade.

Over the last couple of weeks we have made new advances. We are very excited to announce that in addition to ZK ring signatures, we
have also implemented a new SKEDH Technique allowing for amounts to be fully anonymous (for send and receive).

Work is now focussed on completing the Nighthawk Protocol core to enable fully anonymous transactions including amounts. Our aim is a
complete replacement of other anonymous currencies to become the goto currency for full anonymity. 

We envision having the new core ready for internal tests over the next couple of weeks where we will move into an intensive testing phase.
Once the new Nighthawk Protocol core is satisfactorily tested, we will shift focus to the graphical user interface changes in the wallet.
 
An updated estimate for beta release (including UI updates) is now for July 2020.

We are working on NightHawk. For updates/roadmap your welcome to follow out GitHub/Iocoin/Dions or www.iocoin.io

Very happy to announce that IOC is now available via the Abra Mobile Wallet

for US residents. Starting today you may buy, exchange, deposit and withdraw from the mobile app. Europe residents stay tuned for December release https://www.abra.com/
