first neoscrypt block mined
successfuly switch to neoscrypt

Yes - I am pleased to report that we have mined our first two blocks using the Neoscrypt algorithm!  The first block was painful, but we got through it and are moving forward!!!  I just connected with a laptop to the pool at https://ipc.theblocksfactory.com/ and it is working the new algorithm just fine - thanks so much to all who supported us through this transition.

Anyone have the 290's over 70 kh/s?

None of the settings I've found get anything over 55 kh/s, and I haven't found how to get past 70 yet.

The Neoscrypt fork today for Imperial Coin (IPC) was VERY successful as you can see.  After a slow first hour, everone got switched over to CPUs/GPUs and at this writing, we have mined over 70,000 coins today with ZERO ASICs.  That's right you can now mine IPC again with just a laptop and get some coins each day.  Check out the BlocksFactory pool - they are set up for Neoscrypt and a great way to get some coins each day.  Thanks so much for you support of Imperial Coin (IPC).  RIght now, I am just running a pair of laptops and have about 100 coins for the day, with no GPUs.  I will be switching over the GPUs to IPC and help figure out the right formula for those.  For now, cpuminer in the pool is working great - even if for such a small amount.....Thanks so much for your support of IPC during this transition.  Now let's try and get the hash rate up to a few MH/s.

One other interesting note - I was checking to see if all the exchanges have switched over.  It appears Comkort and Coin-Swap are still running the old algorithm as their last block found was when we switched.  In checking the volume, I see that someone bought about 2.5 million IPC yesterday on Coin-Swap !!!!   That is one of the bigger transactions that I have seen - thanks for your IPC support!!!

all exchanges have updated?

[odyssey]

all exchanges have updated?

Comkort and Coin-Swap have not switched yet - we have asked them twice.  We have huge volume and price increase also on Coin-swap.

IPC going nuts on Allcoin after the change!

IPC going nuts on Allcoin after the change!

Yes, I posted in their troll box last night and got word that they upgraded our wallets today.  Seeing over 0.52 BTC traded in about 12 hours and price has more than doubled there and tripled on Coin-Swap.  Good volume on the other exchanges also.

Yes, the market price across most of the exchanges is pretty stable at about 14-15 satoshi now.  For those of you, who have been buying IPC at 4-5 satoshi as recently as last week, you have made some good money this week on trading.  We have seen $560 in volume on Allcoin alone in the past 24 hours (Over 1.0 BTC), with good volume on Comkort and Coin-Swap also.  This has been a very good week for Imperial Coin (IPC) and we just received more good news that we will be publically announcing in a few days.  FYI, we do have our Users Guide in work for a major update to cover the Neoscrypt upgrade and some new things for IPC.  As always, we appreciate your support of Imperial Coin (IPC) !!!

[odyssey]

24 hour volume on Allcoin is 1.38 BTC right now - that works out to about 10.8 million IPC have been traded !

Any chance ask bittrex about adding it?

[odyssey]

The more people that ask Bittrex, the better.  Please ask!

The Imperial Coin (IPC) Team is pleased to announce that we have received approval of our final US Trademark Registration (# 4624326) for the name "Imperial Coin" and it's exclusive use in the world of crypto currencies and beyond.  What this means is that no other coin, group, site or individual can use the name "Imperial Coin" for any purposes without prior written approval from the Imperial Coin (IPC) Team.  All pools, exchanges and other sites that have Imperial Coin (IPC) have already been approved for the usage of the name.  Any coin other than IPC, is NOT approved at this time and is in violation of US Patent and Trademark laws and should be removed immediately.  At this time, the IPC Team has already started submitting DMCA Takedown Notices to offending organizations to remove any coins bearing that name other than IPC.

While at this time, we have a US Trademark (prohibiting usage by US users and sites), there exist reciprocal agreements with many other countries through the World Trade Organization that indicate our trademark should be honored outside the US as well. Please consult your local trademark attorney if you have questions about usage outside the USA.

So why did the IPC Team feel the need to Trademark their name?  Very simple - it is a very popular and recognizable name that we plan on using for a very long time and to avoid confusion with attempts to infringe on our name by other lessor copycat coins.  VERY few coins in our community have gone to the time and expense to file for and gain approval of a trademark for their name - probably only 2-3 at most.  The IPC Team feels that with the issuance of our trademark, no one will question the long term committment of the Imperial Coin (IPC) Team and it will be the start of many more great things for Imperial Coin (IPC).  We have included a few links to the USPTO.gov website with our registration status and issued certificate.  We thank you so much for your support of Imperial Coin (IPC) and look forward to a bright future with the IPC Community.
