Imperial Coin (IPC) - Announces Neoscrypt Algorithm Fork

[odyssey]

We are pleased to announce that ImperialCoin (IPC) is now traded on Coins-E.com - a very nice exchange about one year old.  We were #2 on the voting list and after some confusion last night, the top two vote getters, which included ImperialCoin (IPC) were added to the list.  We see IPC for sale there already!  Thanks for your support!

As many of you may know, we have a very detailed Imperial Coin Users Manual in work and hope to release it sometime next week to everyone.  The preliminary reviews of it are VERY good from our proofreaders.  Please let us know if there is anything in particular that you want to see in it!

[odyssey]

After a significant amount of time, money and energy, the long-awaited initial version of the Imperial Coin (IPC) Users Manual is available now for download on our main website (ImperialCoin.org).  With the release of this document and future revisions and other documents, the ImperialCoin Team has proven their long-term commitment to IPC.  While actively pursuing new businesses who may have an interest in IPC as a potential payment system, with the this guide, the IPC team has shown that they are also very focused on acquiring and educating new crypto currency users as well as business-owners. While Imperial Coin (IPC) is not the first crypto currency to provide any type of Users Guide to new and current users, it is one of a select few who have put forth the effort.  Please use the link below to download the PDF version of the IPC Users Guide.

This is the English version - other versions may be created based on demand by our users. Thank you for your support of ImperialCoin (IPC).

With the release of our banner farm and initial users manual this week we saw a huge surge in trading on several of the exchanges.  We traded almost 0.4 BTC in one 24 hour period on one exchange and nearly 0.9 BTC for all combined the day after our user manual release. Our weighted price (based on volume x price) continues to put us around 13-16.  We see stable highs of 20-25 on several exchanges and average lows around 10-12 on others - presenting good arbitrage opportunities if you are patient and have accounts on all 7-8 exchanges.    Some are a lot busier exchanges than others and your orders may sit their a while. The really good news is that they are all buys, not sells.

As for what is coming up with ImperialCoin, we have a huge project in the works now and hope to make an announcement on it within a few days.  Like our users manual and banner farm, this is something few of the other coins have the resources to produce and maintain.  Again - watch this thread for an announcement in the upcoming week.  Thanks for your support of Imperial Coin (IPC)

We just had our 600th Twitter follower this morning!  Our new publicity surge seems to be working - getting several inquiries every week. Thanks so much for your support of Imperial Coin (IPC)!

We have completed checkout of our updates to IPC and will be releasing the source code and updated wallets over the next few days.  We have informed our exchanges and pools about our coming fork and several of them have chosen to freeze our wallets to avoid confusion or issues during the upgrade process.  Just to assure you, there is NOTHING wrong with the coin.  We have made a serious upgrade to IPC, are very proud of it, and will be releasing it once we have all the new wallets complete and we have the infrastructure to support the change.  By design, nothing should change for about a week while everyone switches over after our formal release.  Please watch for our update here and on Twitter in the next 48 hours.....Thanks for your support of Imperial Coin (IPC)

The provider that hosts all of our seed nodes is offline today and may not be up for a while.  So we are having some connectivity issues.  I would suggest to open some wallets and that should help.  In the mean time, we are working at getting some more nodes running within 24 hours.  FYI, we hope to have the new wallets available with the new update within 24 hours.

We are delaying the fork announcement 24 hours until we get a few seed nodes back online - hopefully sooner.  Thanks for your patience and support of ImperialCoin (IPC) !

Still some node issues causing our block chain to be very slow - we are working the problem.  Once the blockchain is moving again and we have a few nodes, we will roll out the new IPC algorithm news and new wallets.......

OK, we have a set of nodes up and running for now and have the wallets syncing again just fine - use these add nodes temporarily.  We will add some more permanent ones within 48 hours.....T

We are disappointed to report that we have to delay our planned hard fork that was planned for Block 60,000 by at least a week.  So if you had grabbed our source and done the Linux upgrade all went well for you.  But the Windows wallets had issues and most would never sync.  We have identified what the issues are and need to do some more work on the source code to solve this problem. We request that you all should revert to version 1.2 until we can get the problem fixed.  This is a stable version that we rolled out a few months back and has been running fine for everyone.  Right now, do not use any of the wallets on our website and please make sure you are using V1.2 and not the beta V1.3.

We apologize for the inconvenience.  But a fork of this nature is never easy and when all the Linux wallets synced properly we thought all was in good shape, until we tried the Windows wallets and had these issues.  We will get them fixed this week and get the new wallets out as soon as we can in time for a fork at around Block 64,000 - 65,000.  Thanks for your support of Imperial Coin (IPC).

Just a quick update on our fork status here.  We basically decided to start over on the fork and push it out a few weeks....what we had, seemed to work, but was not as stable as we would like it to be.  Pushing the fork out a week, will allow us to work on a few other minor bugs and do a little more thorough testing.  Meanwhile, we see a lot of hash power on IPC and good numbers on all the exchanges - hopefully, this will continue. Thanks for your support of IPC.
