[ANN][I0C] I0coin hardfork DONE, everybody please upgrade to at least 0.8.3-2

[rsnel]

I0coin hardfork coming has occured

To everybody who joined us in the resurrection of I0coin and everybody else:

There were some problems with the codebase, most notably the asymmetric difficulty adjustment (slow rise, fast fall). It allows 51% attackers generate more blocks than they should.

The only way to fix it, is to change it in the code and have ALL USERS upgrade. In the resurrection announcement thread the changes are discussed, starting from this post.

Please upgrade to at least 0.8.3-2 or current git HEAD now.

State of the coin:

At the moment, the hashrate has stabilized at around 10 GH/s TH/s, which is impressive, but still only about 1/3 of IXC and DVC. If you want to contribute to the security of I0coin, please consider mining at http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool/ (BTC 0% DGM, NMC/DVC/IXC/GRC/I0C PPS) (you generate BTC, as usual, and you get NMC/DVC/IXC/GRC/I0C for free).

Rather do it yourself using p2pool? In the announcement there is a small howto. For more in depth coverage of merged mining, see this excellent topic.

Once the fork is done and the hashrate has climbed, i except exchanges to (re-)introduce this nice coin.

State of the coin, September 10th:

The fork has occured. The old, unsupported and unsafe, chain is grinding to a halt. No significant hashing power exists there. Current hashrate is about 15 TH/s. The fork seems to be a success and it it time for the exchanges to pick up this coin. Lightlord has offered a bounty of I0C 25000 to the first exchange that (re)introduces I0coin.

Edit:

• Fixed typo in hashrate. Is TH/s, not GH/s.
• Updated post to reflect that the hardfork has occured.

Good to see that people want this coin to be still alive and supported
Good job, thanks a lot!

Great, hope this takes off!

[worldinacoin]

Hopefully this time it can take off, the last few attempts at resurrecting this coin failed miserably.

[steelhouse]

Didn't know it was restarted.  Is there an exchange?  I own someone a bounty.

Yeah because no one fixed the issues. rsnel has put a lot of work into the new binaries and has demonstrated his wish to continue to develop it! It's great news for cryptocurrencies, one of the "oldies" is back!

[rsnel]

As far as I know, I0coin has not yet appeared on an exchange. It probably will after the fork is successful.

Current hashrate 12 TH/s.

I intend to claim the bounty in the bounty-thread when I0coin is back at the exchanges. Lightlord already payed his I0C 20000.  

[purelithium]

Cryptsy knows about the new clients, I think they're waiting to see the network stabilize and show that it is worth putting the effort of an exchange together.

[worldinacoin]

Well really hope this extremely old Alt Coin which had died and revived a few times get a new lease of life.

[purelithium]

There's always been a few people keeping the blockchain alive, thankfully.

[rsnel]

About 2 days left.

A lot of people still need to upgrade:

Code:

$ ~/src/i0coin/src/i0coind getpeerinfo| grep -e subver | sort | uniq -c
      4         "subver" : "",
      8         "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.3/",
      8         "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.3.1/",
     21         "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.3.4/",

Just sayin'....

it was pain, but finally this problem is gone

[ahmed_bodi]

i'll be bringing a either a prop dedicated 0 fee i0coin pool up in a day or 2  or a 2% fee PPS i0coin pool

[jdebunt]

i'll be bringing a either a prop dedicated 0 fee i0coin pool up in a day or 2  or a 2% fee PPS i0coin pool

looking forward to that

[markm]

You mean a pool that merged mines bitcoins and i0coins?

As it wouldn't make much sense to mine i0coins without merging...

-MarkM-

[ahmed_bodi]

yes, auto exchanging tho for now. decided to wait till the bytecoin hard fork so i can merge that along with it

[Vlad2Vlad]

So is this THE official i0Coin thread?

Does anybody wanna sell some i0Coin?   I've got a thing for old school coins and this is one of the originals.  There is some risk here since its not even on an exchange yet but if I can get a favorable price I would like to buy some.  TIA!

What is the correct price for iocoin? any idea.

[markm]

Not sure. I would not part with mine for the low price shown at http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/latestrates.inc

(I expect that price is a low price someone wants to buy at, not one anyone is likely to sell at, and is maybe there mostly for the purpose of allowing the (net asset) value of the shares of corps who hold some I0Coins to be computed.)

I would expect it to be worth at least as much as Ixcoin, or close anyway, it gives only 3 coins per block now how many is Ixcoin giving?
