HI, OK it is time to put you all out of your misery on guessing  As you all know we are working on something over the last few month which will make WBB something special. We are working on to remove all overheads of the client system and in the same time simplify the usage and speed everything up. In the same time we try to ensure fraud on the blockchain and bloat is removed to ensure in the long term WBB does not slow down but gets better over time. What we also looked at is how businesses really can benefit from crypto (apart from accepting some crypto coin as payment only). Also we looked at how can bigger businesses save money by using WBB and it's setup / infrastructure. The other part is the pain of loading / downloading the blockchain. To download a blockchain and sync a wallet takes time and is always a pain to say the least, also if your data gets corrupt (which can happen) you would to download again and start sync from scratch. This is totally unacceptable to businesses and also not reliable. For this reason let me show you what WBB will become and where we go with it all. WBBOS and WBB is undergoing a transformation to say the least. It is a long way but we are getting closer ever day to our goal. At the moment we run cluster tests on a test genesis-block of WBB and V5. This progress takes time and is complex to say the least but we are not far of it. Once this work is completed we will fork WBB in to the new way and open the path for business all kinds to utilize WBB in a proper manner. WBB with this change is open for Data storage companies, Music industry, Banks, Security companies and many more business sectors. The usability is endless the way in can be used after this change. Due this new way the speed of WBB is increasing and the WBB Wallet will become a Blockchain free wallet which does not need to download the blockchain and thus will be in sync within seconds from a fresh install. Every WBB client is still private and there is no need to login to a web or have some password and so on to access the Blockchain. The WBB Wallet you use like you used before for sending and receiving. New of course is the asset insertion (like mention on some businesses above). Of course with insertion there is/are fee's per KB in WBB apart from a basic network fee for sending payment. Network fee will stay the same for sending payments. When we go live with this then we start meeting a few people here in swiss and introduce WBB to them. Groundwork's are done but now we need to wait till we have our work done before we see anyone of them. Enough talk, here is the graphical how the wallet / blockchain part will work when we release V5. We tried to simplify the image so everyone can get some understanding how it would work as the exact handling would be to complex to show.  We will provide you from now on with updates how all runs and where all is going. This is are exiting times as we could be away maybe another 2-3 weeks to run the first BETA version of V5 with clients. We can not rush this part as it needs to be done step by step. There are still things which go wrong but we aim to fix each of them one by one. Hopefully you like this and have a better understanding where we aim with WBB / WBBOS ecosystem. Thanks Peter  Where do I begin? You want to ensure fraud on the blockchain? You're planning on a HD wallet that many other coins have done. The ideas of what the wallet will do has already been proposed by other projects and go much further than your plans. Last but not least, you want to centralize the blockchain which was invented as a decentralized technology to prevent abuse by those in power. Yes, I know many companies that are interested in this sort of product. They usually call it a clustered database that another company hosts in the cloud. WOW.... Sam I/O Digital |

before I search forum, thought i'd ask ioc community first....I may need a website built, any recommendations?
Ask Richard, he has people for that I believe. |

I am not receiving slack invitation, nothing in spam folder also...
try to reset your password at iocoin.slack.comyou probably received an invitation earlier or registered. Cheers Richard is that official slack comunity for IOC....? today im buying IOC at 18k then sell it at 20k  now buy back at 18k but im stuck  any chance we will reach 30k again..? or maybe 50k  Yes, the link provided is the official IOC Slack. Thanks, Sam |

trade ioc and u gt burned? 99 percent of crypto trades. traders create liuidity ioc looks good for daytraders looks good for stakers
Agreed. I meant they risk losing IOC coins if they trade, because one day, soon, i am sure the price is going to rocket and that means they will have to buy back higher and have less coins Maybe one day , my wallet will be fully synchronised too. If you are having trouble syncing your wallet, please join our Slack and contact me for assistance. Thanks, Sam |

I suspect them to be twirling around the blockchain and probably will flounder their way into my pocketses soon. Yes, my precious! by the way how do I become a full node wallet operator? is it like masternodes in darkcoin where you have to pay? How do I activate this feature in the wallet? If you are having issues syncing the wallet, jumping to wanting to operate a full node may not be the best thing to focus on at this point. What is your experience with Linux? Thanks, Sam |

Is it on a laptop or desktop? Is it wired or wireless? Is UPnP enabled in your router? Do you have software or hardware firewalls in place that could slow it down? If it's a laptop, do you let it sleep or turn it on and off frequently? What kind of speed do you normally see from your ISP? Feel free to join our Slack and I can work with you to make sure you're setup optimally and no glaring issues are causing such a long time for the wallet to sync. Sam |

It's interesting seeing newer people looking at the coin and having no idea what kind of work, time, money and sacrifice has gone into it. That would all be meaningless if it weren't for the technological innovations being built around the chain. I would venture to say that most don't even realize the potential applications of this blockchain and development around it. The coin is just a piece, it has a monetary value assigned to it due to Exchange trades. The reason for the recent rise is new releases that have been worked on for a while now and are the foundation of things being built(or already built) on top of it that takes this project from fintech to as the philosophers say...something that is greater than the sum of all its parts. The more people see it as another alt coin, the more shake out will occur and put what is essentially a new animal into the hands of those that see the the idea outside of only the financial sector. Who could have guessed the Mr Arch, Moby, pay to be on my slack was a scammer? Every single person that has had any real contact or input on this project did. Edgar got BTC given to him and he controlled the Arch markets from the get go. Anyone that couldn't see that learned a valuable lesson. As for IOC, it has one place to go now. People will take profits at times and the assigned exchange value will drop. Now that we are where we are with development, I would agree with Crazy to anyone that sells at 3 cents is going to be kicking themselves in the ass later. Only time will tell. Best wishes for all on how they choose to buy/sell/hold/stake with I/O.

mr arch, moby...? slack for pay? edgar and arch markets. I have no clue. What have I been missing? My apologies for getting off topic and causing you some confusion. I'd looked at posts 2765, 2766, 2769 and 2782 in our ANN and didn't want to be compared to another project. So, I went on a bit of a rant that would have been better placed in another ANN or just left alone completely by me. As for the rest of my post, I strongly believe in and support my statements about I/O Coin and I/O Digital. It is rare for me to find something in this crypto world that I utterly trust/believe in enough to not only work for free on it but also purchase/trade for every coin of it that I have with my own finances. So, my rant when I felt like it was being linked to something else was a late night knee jerk response. Hope that clears it up, Sam |

Purchased an Pi today. Hope i can check it out this week!
Lets be the most environmentally friendly staking community out there ;-)
Cheers
Richard
What version did you get? Did you get a kit? I'm going to start looking at this wallet later today after a few errands. Sam |

Here are the Raspberry Pi wallets for IOCoin. Only the headless daemon (command line) wallet is included. Important: 1) Always backup your wallet.dat first before you do anything 2) The wallet was built on Raspberry Pi2 (ARM7) running Raspbian Wheezy (v7) as well as Jessie (v8) and the instructions and scripts assume you are running as user "pi". It is a pre-requisite to have either Raspbian Wheezy or Jessie installed on your Pi micro-SD card. You can find instructions of how to do this on https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ by either installing n00bs and selecting your OS or by downloading the image for one of the 2 versions of the OS. 3) Installation directory where the binaries are installed is ~/opt/iocoin or /home/pi/opt/iocoin 4) To run the wallet go to the directory with the wallets and run the daemon (iocoind_jessie or iocoin_wheezy depending on which version of the OS you have installed) with the options you want at the command prompt or in a terminal window 5) An Internet connection is required for the installation 6) A bootstrap.dat is available to fast track the blockchain sync - up to block 734407. The installation script does not force the install of the bootstrap.dat as it is very large. You need to manually download it, unzip it and place the bootstrap.dat in the ~/.iocoin folder and then run the wallet. 7) The bootstrap.dat also works for Windows wallets. Windows users just have to copy the bootstrap.dat file into their c\users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\IOCoin folder and run the Win client again 8.) You need at least an 8GB memory card for the wallet. 9) The installation itself takes about 30-45min on an out-of-the-box Pi, but due to the large chain it will take a few hours to import the blockchain. 10) You cannot just download the dynamic wallets, you have to run the script to get the dependencies as well else it will not run. 11) The installation script does not enable the UFW firewall by default. If you want to enable it, uncomment the UFW lines in the script and add the ports you want open and run it again or enable it manually by running the UFW commands as in the script with the correct port numbers from the command line. 12) Always verify the checksums when you download files to make sure it was downloaded ok. To verify the checksums on your Pi, go to the ~/opt/iocoin folder and execute sha256sum <filename> and md5sum <filename> and compare the values with the values in the checksums.txt file. Do the same for the bootstrap.dat Instructions to use the headless command line daemon wallet: 1) The installation script creates an iocoin.conf file with the startup settings in it. Go to the folder with the binaries ~/opt/iocoin and enter ./iocoind_jessie or ./iocoind_wheezy (depending on which version of the OS you installed) in a terminal window to start the server 2) After the blockchain has been imported you can enter the normal wallet commands that you would as in a Windows debug console preceded with ./iocoind_jessie or ./iocoind_wheezy eg. ./iocoin_jessy getinfo. During the first time blockchain import process the wallet will be non-responsive in the sense that it will say it cannot connect to the wallet. Just wait for the import to finish and the wallet will become responsive again. 3) Remember to always make a backup of your wallet.dat file before you do anything like encrypting it 4) To encrypt your wallet run the command ./iocoind_jessie encryptwallet <yourpassword> or ./iocoind_wheezy encryptwallet <yourpassword> 5) Once you have the wallet running, blockchain imported and your wallet with coins on the Pi, then you can kickstart staking by executing ./iocoind_jessie walletpasshprase <yourwalletpassword> 99999999 true or ./iocoind_wheezy walletpasshprase <yourwalletpassword> 99999999 true Let me know about any issues that you may encounter. To kickstart the installation execute the following commands at the command prompt or in a terminal window on your Pi. wget https://bitbucket.org/jc12345/iocoin/downloads/ioc_installation_pi.sh && chmod +x ioc_installation_pi.sh && ./ioc_installation_pi.sh && rm -f ioc_installation_pi* Direct links: Link to wallet installation scriptLink to IOCoin wallet for jessieLink to IOCoin wallet for wheezyLink to virustotal scan for iocoind_jessieLink to virustotal scan for iocoind_wheezyLink to bootstrap.dat up to block 734407 (228MB) Link to checksums.txtIOC address : idYs21ShUEQQz5QWJmTDwRBeWceRaUQLxp jc12345, Thank you for posting this. We truly appreciate your effort in putting this together. I/O Coin & I/O Digital staff does not at this point endorse using this wallet/method. While it may work very well and have no issues, it was not an internal development. We will be reviewing the instructions, code, wallet as well as the bootstrap to ensure is has no negative impact on the community, IOC, the blockchain, etc. Until this occurs...if one chooses to use this, they are doing so at their own risk. This in no way is an indication that this isn't the perfect solution for the Raspberry Pi. The team just wants to ensure we do our due diligence before we endorse this method. Again, thank you for putting this together and we are beginning the review and testing process immediately. After speaking with Joel and Richard...the 3 of us will each donate 1500 IOC to you for a total of 4500 IOC if everything in the code, bootstrap, wallet, testing on the Raspberry Pi, etc looks good and goes well. Thank you, Sam & the I/O Team |

 Please give us your vote on : http://benzingafintechawards.com/vote/io-digital/You can vote by clicking a like in the top left corner. Facebook and/or Twitter. If you do it on all two, we will get two votes. We need 200 votes to go to the next round. Thanks for your vote! Richard I cant post images here, but IOC now has 100 Votes! (half way there) Please get all your Friends and Family on Twitter and Facebook to participate and share the link. I hope we can get 200 votes by the end of today and get many more! If IOC gets 500 votes by the end of January, i will give 5 lucky people here 500 I/OCoin and they can choose to do with it as they please EG: Give it to friends or family members. I voted for I/O, I will happily take that extra 2500 IOC divide it by 5 and give each 500 IOC to myself. I won't even charge for this service  Hi Sam, unfortunately, the giveaway, is for non IOC Team members. But, you are a bit of a geek, do you own a Raspberry Pi 2 ? Trying to find someone who can instal and run the IOC wallet then people can use the Pi's for staking, much, much, cheaper as it uses a fraction of the electric a normal computer uses. Thank you. PS: Staking above 50% again, very nice to see, i seen 60% the other day, The IOC blockchain is like a high maintenance women, you've got to keep it (staking) up for a long time to keep her happy! Simon, Yes, I have a Raspberry Pi 2 that I purchased recently. I also have working instructions on getting an older copy of the wallet compiled and running on a Linux machine. I do plan on looking into this for Pi, but it isn't currently at the top of my list of priorities. It isn't part of our roadmap as far as I'm aware, but I think it's a good idea. As time permits...I'll be looking into it. At this time my focus is on other priorities that would have a greater positive impact. So it's a personal pet project at this time. Thanks, Sam |

HI I/O Coin,
Just thinking about the recent "events" with Bitcoin and how Europe is concerned about private transactions, which could well be a big stumbling block for Bitcoin.
So, with this in mind, is I/O Coin working on something that will make payments fully Traceable? (as an option or maybe as is, standard)
Maybe the identity sidechain can work with transactions, so the transactions can easily be traced to the person who made the payments. I/O Coin would then have nothing to worry about when it comes to transactions.
All the best.
Hi Simon, We are very aware of the recent events in Europe and were discussing them as soon as the news came out. This is something I took very seriously as I have a lot of family in France and some future in-laws in France as well. I spoke with Joel on the phone the night the events took place. I want to be clear, I/O is not an Anon coin. The discussion of traceable payments came up and we discusses how traceable cash was, which in my opinion is not completely traceable. Then we talked about peoples right to privacy. I personally am not one that believes privacy/encryption=criminal activity/terrorism. I was recently reading an article from Coindesk about the low risk of Bitcoins use for money laundering which would obviously be linked to some sort of criminal activity if it had to be laundered in the first place. It was based on research the UK Treasury did and can be seen here: http://www.coindesk.com/uk-treasury-digital-currencies-low-money-laundering-risk/We then talked about privacy and encryption which has been in use as far back as Julius Caesar and the Caesar Cipher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipherCiphers and encryption have continued to be used and evolve over the centuries as the breaking of ciphers/encryption methods via various techniques has evolved along with the methods used to make encrypted information private in the first place. It is a thin line in my mind to implement changes that would negate peoples right to privacy for non-criminal activity. I would also like to mention that transaction on the blockchain are on the blockchain, we are not hiding movement of crypto and have kept in line with Satoshi and his original ideas a much as possible. That people deserve a right to privacy regardless of where they are in the world. This is not a new idea. This also doesn't mean I am pro any sort of illegal activity. It is a tight rope walk that we are all aware of and one of the many reasons we aren't an Anon coin. Regards, Sam |

We have now hired a new dev to work on the api. He starts on Monday and we have a 2 week time period for completion of this api, if successful it will go to Pat for final integration of DIONs code into the wallet and then we go on Final testnet of DIONS. Let's all stay positive and I will be following up with the community by next friday. Thanks everyone.
Thanks for the update. I hope the community sees this and sees that issues arise and I/O doesn't run away from them, they keep pushing forward to do what they've set out to do. |

The update is stopped.
There is no 'real wallet'
Only screen shots..
Want a video or can I assume that would be fake as well for you? |

Used them for 2 $15 USD purchases of dogecoin this month. Got both quickly. Time to setup account for Level 1 purchases was longer than expected, but not long enough to be an issue for me. Have not made larger purchases at this point.

Simon,
I was very interested in Ethereum when I was made aware of it. 18 million USD crowdfunded and what came out of that was a huge disappointment to me personally. Now, Augur is following the same path in my opinion. While I respect that anyone can invest in whatever they chose, I will not personally invest in that project or projects that come out of it. I'm only speak for myself. I am no professional offering investment or trading advice. I just can't see how so much money could produce so little and then want to give them more money. I could be wrong and Ethereum/Augur investors could be filthy rich in the future. I am in fact holding back on how strongly I feel about those projects and the news surrounding them to be fair and not offer a completely bias statement or delve into the subject in this ANN. Everyone needs to research what the right investment for them is and is not. As to you, selling/trading all of your IOC...I don't believe that's an accurate statement. You had been a very strong supporter of IOC as you stated. I don't dispute that in the least. I in fact have past messages between you and I on Slack where you discussed how honest Joel is and how great IOC is. I can understand being removed from a position of regular talk and input with the IOC team as being hurtful to you. I can also understand that things of that type don't happen for no reason. So let's be honest here, why continue to hang around this thread if all of your IOC is gone? Why bring up other projects unrelated to IOC or I/O Digital in an ANN dedicated to it other than to attempt to stir up controversy? The reason I have been so brash with responses to you are because of those two questions. I simply see the posts as an attempt to hurt the coin, projects and team that work on it all. These are my personal view(s) and may or may not be shared by anyone else. I hope this brings an end to the back and forth jabs over the last couple pages of the ANN, but as always...people can post what they want including opposing views. I have done my best not to attack you with this post or share private information about anything or anyone being discussed. I am personally done with the discussion of other projects or replying to off topic posts that I don't think are relevant to this ANN thread. Though, if I see a post about another project in this ANN and feel it is relevant to discuss..I'm not opposed to doing so. I've re-read this post before posting it and I believe that I have been rational, honest and sincere in my response to the last few pages of the ANN regarding these topics.
Thank you,
Sam

Good News.
Is it possible to know who the new Developer for I/OCoin is?
What skills, background they have.
OR will it yet be another "Anon" person on the team?
For I/O Coin to be taken more seriously and to have a better chance of getting investment/real world businesses on board, surely the investors/business needs to know who they are dealing with.
This is the only thing that seems to be holding IOC down, too many unknown people involved. Thats just my opinion (reply below to shoot it down)
I thought it was you! With all those aliases and apparent attempts at anonymity, I figured...must be Simon. Will probably have to use another name to code under so no one figures out it's him. Then I realized, couldn't be him...he has no technical background, sells t-shirts on eBay and is such a bad trader that it cost him almost everything. Must be someone else. Didn't know the new dev was anon. Could be that updating sites isn't instant, could be anything. I do enjoy a good laugh at your assumptions and child like emotional reactions to anything that you haven't been made aware of. |
