http://ic.mepool.cc/index.phpdoes this pool work again or it's still stuck on wrong blockchain ? cause i see miners back on. Edit : apparently not, wrong block and diff displayed. hope you get decent stratum pools soon, i lost so much time on this because of stupid errors i made... I have replied to the pool admin to explain above as he mailed me to say it was updated. Won't add the pool as a option until we sure it's on the right chain. |

It basically boils down to this: Those who were mining on the correct chain got massively rewarded with a low difficulty. Meanwhile, the rest of us who were on the wrong chain wasted electricity and time for nothing. Those who have their coins will have an "oh well" position and the dev has the 5% premine so he gets paid either way. Take it for what it's worth I guess.
Hey Crypto , Just to clarify it was a 1% premine and if you search for iCoin you can see the many promos/giveaways we have had already. These promos will keep changing depending on the stages we are with iCoin. I am also mining the coin myself with the +- 1650KH/s I have and to be fair I only made about 3500 coins so far on the p2pool since the change over and this will slow down dramatically today. Remember the Diff will increase until a 3 minute block time is acquired, in reality though it does not work like this so the diff will fluctuate often depending how quickly the resolves occur. We did it like this to protect the coin from multipool abuse, remember this is a value coin, if you want to see 10000 Coins a hour pop into your wallet there is plenty other currencies that offer this. |

Hi All,
I will be posting a new thread today explaining what occurred at launch and why the problems were delayed in being sorted out.
As you can see when our dev returned the issues were rectified fairly quickly.
To Sum up though our dev thought he had more time before block 5200 would be reached while our marketing guy was promoting the coin bringing on extra
network hash which reduced the block resolve times by a lot, if any of you have ever worked in a dev house you will know marketing and dev guys have very
different ways of approaching things but without each other it will never work.
We have already had a team meeting to discuss the launch.
NB. Please let us know if you still experiencing any issues.
We going to let things settle for 24 hrs, get some pools added before we being promoting the coin further.
Thanks
iCoin Team

Sorry, I don't get it. The block time was reduced from 10min to 3min with the same block reward? So there will be 3times more coins? Can somebody explain me, why they changed that?! "Our plan was to create a block chain that offers balance" What does that mean? A block chain offers balance? hä? It's more from investment POV as opposed to technical, a lot of coins flood the market so they become worthless while others have too little and people horde them. |

Did we find out if http://icoin.easy-mining.net was a waste of time or not? I seem to be the only one on it, judging by the pool hashrate, but it's accepting shares just fine?? I guess if this one doesn't work (can anyone confirm/deny?), it means there's no working pools. Is it worthwhile to solo mine this with only 1.5MH? This pool is working big, just follow the getting started instructions. http://icoin.altpool.pw:19360 |

I have a update for everyone:
Right now our developer is unavailable so we have to wait for some of these issues to be attended too.
As you guys know I was brought in to help with this coin, to get it's name out there... I can honestly say the web designer and marketing of this coin has been really excellent,
unfortunately from the dev side updates have been slow and we in the process of trying to get another developer to join the team so we can bring the dev side inline with the same quality
as the rest of the team.
I will keep you all updated , we really want to see this coin succeed!

In the need of 1 more reliable pool.

As you can see the block resolves are starting to settle down nicely, in a way it has worked out well that we didn't get flooded with hashing power like last time.

So, retarget @ block 5200? Because all pools show it @ block 5280
Network Info Difficulty 25.26114184 Est Next Difficulty 0.78263192 (Change in 850 Blocks) Est. Avg. Time per Block 4841.58 seconds Current Block 5198 |

We have 2 more blocks to go, still in need of 2 more mining pools
|
|
|
|

Once the blockchain hits 5200 we will start looking at queries, once again thanks for your patience here.
Short Term Plans Going Fwd:
i. Sort out remaining issues members have.
ii. Add 2 more pools
iii. Updating iCoins website
iv. Start promotions

I have mailed a couple of other reliable pool operators to add the coin. Team thought it was better for you to do the mining post.  |
