if electricity is a factor id suggest a raspberry pi setup 5w of electricity. Android wallet a lite wallet so correct me if im wrong currently staking is not going to be available with an android wallet

Is there any tutorial how i can run the wallet on a raspberry pi?

This post is still relevant. Let me know if you have issues.

PS: Ill be getting a Pi3 soon and cant wait for the 64bit processor. 

I got the Pi3 with Jessie, but the QT wallet doesn't run on it. Can you make it running, please? Would be great!

the guide referenced above is fantastic....just follow steps carefully and take you time.  The while process even with using bootstrap can take quite a while....mostly syncing blockchain

also....depending on whether you use...mouse keyboard wifi dongle and fan (I got myself a pimped out case)....attached to pi...expect your actual electrical usage to be between 2.1 and 3 watts.

You are talking about a wifi dongle, the Pi3 has wifi integrated... So I guess the guide above is for Pi2? Thanks in advance for the answer.

FYI

As a security and IT Specialist Dev I would like for everyone to take the time and read this very carefully. This could potentially be disruptive for everyone in the long run if people don't practice safety with their computers. What good does it do to have a secure blockchain with insecure nodes like pc's or mac's that are infected and could lead to serious ramsomware hacks. Practice safety and security with your computer's avoid the  usual surfing and unsecure passwords. Make sure to read this article. Many in the cryptoworld talk about all these great things of the blockchain but fail to educate the end user about safety on there computers. Our lead dev Derek Hatton has spent years of his life in penetration and we are lucky to have him on our team, but Is my duty to advise everyone to practice safety on their end nodes and computers. If you are going to trade your ioc don't leave it overnight or unwatched in any exchange if they go down you lose your coins. Trade and make sure you have strong passwords but don't leave your coins on the hands of someone else.

Ransomware – malicious software that encrypts your files and then demands payment to unlock them – has become a major scourge of the Windows world.

Mac users just had their first brush with such threats last week, with the appearance of the KeRanger ransomware. However, shortly before KeRanger, I encountered a ransomware event in the Mac world far worse than anything seen for Windows.

This hack seems to have turned an iMac into an expensive paperweight.

A woman named Ericka contacted me, telling me that her Mac was locked by ransomware. At first, I thought this might be one of countless web-based scams out there, pretending to be ransomware, but easy to get rid of.

However, there was an added wrinkle: Ericka said her computer was asking for a six-digit code, and that a Russian hacker was asking for payment in exchange for the code. This sounded like more than a simple scam pop-up.

From the screenshots she sent me, it soon became clear what had happened. The hacker had somehow gotten access to Ericka’s iCloud account.

Using this, he was able to remotely lock her computer using iCloud’s Find My Mac feature, with a ransom message displayed on the screen. (For some reason, the iPhone did not actually end up locked, but displayed the same message.)

IMG_2107The message read: “Contact me: hblackhat(at)mail.ru All your conversation sms+mail, bank, computer files, contacts, photos. I will public + send to your contacts.”

She also received an e-mail message, in similarly broken English, from her own iCloud address. The message said he had access to all her bank accounts, personal information, etc, and would publish it if she didn’t respond within 24 hours.

This is a pretty serious threat, and quite different from the typical Windows malware. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t end there. Apple designed Find My Mac/iPhone as an anti-theft feature. It is intended to allow you to take a number of actions on a lost or stolen device, including displaying a message, locking it, locating it physically and even remotely erasing it.

Apple is focused on trying to ensure the security of your devices, and that’s a good thing. You don’t want a thief to be able to bypass this security and gain access to your data.

In this case, however, that security has backfired. Nothing that Ericka has tried has been successful in giving her back access to her Mac. Worse, the iMac is 6 years old, and she no longer has a receipt. Without proof of ownership, Apple won’t help her unlock it.

Although I certainly sympathize with Ericka, this reluctance to unlock a device is generally a good thing for those whose devices have been stolen.

However, in this case, with a ransom message displaying on the locked iMac, one would think that an Apple tech should have escalated this case to someone who could make a more informed decision.

A similar event happened back in 2014, where people’s iPhones were locked by “Oleg Pliss,” mostly in Australia. Back then, perhaps thanks to the more widespread nature of the event, Apple helped affected users unlock their phones.

It’s also important to realize that an attacker with this kind of access could remotely erase all devices connected to that iCloud account. Worse, if you have Back to My Mac turned on, the attacker could gain access to all the data on your Mac.

There are some lessons to be learned from these events, so that you don’t end up experiencing something similar yourself.

First and foremost, make sure that your iCloud account has a very secure password. Longer is better. As long as your password is long, and is not a quote from a book, movie, song or other media, and it’s not a common expression, and it’s not something that could be guessed with a little cyberstalking, it does not need to be horribly complex.

A password like “horse airplane rutabaga flashlight” is far more secure than a complex but shorter password like “h@c|<me.”

Second, DO NOT use the same password on any other site!

Ideally, every online account should have a different password, and you should be using a password manager (like 1Password or LastPass) to keep track of all of them. This prevents situations where a server gets compromised and leaks your password, and then the hacker is able to use that password to access all your other accounts.

Finally, be sure to turn on two-factor authentication on your iCloud account. This ensures that access to your iCloud account is restricted only to someone in possession of one of your designated “trusted” devices. That makes it significantly harder for a Russian hacker to remotely access your account!

Of course, beyond that, it would also be wise to ensure your computer is thoroughly backed up. This will ensure that any disaster – whether ransomware, iCloud hack or just plain bad luck – doesn’t also claim the life of your valuable data.

Quick Update before I go to sleep. Derek has taken care of all previous smaller issues with the daemon. This afternoon we completed the two missing RPC calls above, and tested the wallet again. All seems to work fine now. yay.... so we should be able to continue on now with our stuff hopefully without more issues, the wallet looks promising with a nice panel separation. We will try to get our last changes in there and will create a private repo for ophie and pat to look at the wallet which is quite nice and organized now that the small daemon bug was fixed  and it will finally lend itself well to having final minor Dions changes put in, hopefully with some push we will have it done in short time for Ophie and Pat to access the source code to make some clean up to the front end for beta.

Thanks to the people that have joined our beta channel and are gearing up to help us on this last leg. As I had said before once we get the beta we will be showing some jpegs and video to keep our community update as we go along.




PS. I will be updating more frequently now that we are in this phase


Thanks Everyone for the continued support, 20hr day ouch

Thank you Joel for the update, I have a question about DIONS (sorry if it sounds stupid), lets say that in the future I would want to save my CV on the iocoin blockchain, would I be able to update it at a later date or would I have to create and store a new file every time I want to add or remove information from my CV.
and also if I send my cv to another user/address, will he/she have the ability to again edit/add or remove information from said file with his/her private keys? thank you

EXCELLENT QUESTION!   But i am 99.9% sure the answer is no, thats the beauty of the blockchain, once an document is there, it can not be altered.

SO......

How about a Sidechain for this purpose?   I wonder if it would be possible to have a sidechain, that allows documents to be stored on the blockcahin, but these documents could be edited, or at the least added to.

CV's need updated now and then, so it would be great if the document could at least, have information added, so the orginal would stay the same, it would have extra info to it (like at the bottom of the document, with date  " 5th May 2020 london MP  became the Mayor of London"  " 1st Jan 2030 London MP was Knighted"

I am sure someone will be creating such a sidechain/blockchain as we speak.

if it were possible then we could have decentralised recruitment agencies where employers can post job openings to the I/Ochain (or a designated sidechain as you mentioned) and job seekers can post/update their CVs/search for jobs etc .... (just one of the endless possibilities with I/O blockchain)

Correction
"5th May 2020 london MP became the mayor of London" and subsequently suspended and stripped of his office for abolishing the pound and replacing it with IOcoin

Great idea London,

Make sure to post it in the slack chat "ideas" section also please.

Just to know, i have created a new Channel for iocoin.slack

https://iocoin.slack.com/messages/shop-on-ebay-with-ioc/

As some of you already know, i run a ebay store, with lots of unique vintage and designer clothing items and other collectibles, like Littlest Pet Shop toys.

I am offering a massive, 30% discount to everyone who buys an item from my store and pays with I/OCoin.   

My store link (BOOKMARK IT) > http://stores.ebay.co.uk/TheVintageDude

Simply select what you want, i will end listing, send me the payment. ( I will use countmycrypto to work out the cost.)
Then i will post your item to you.

I thought it is also a great idea to  educate people how easy it is to use IOC.

[LondonMP]

"Although it will take a while for distributed ledgers to rule the world, they are an idea, to paraphrase Victor Hugo, that will be hard to resist." is the concluding sentence of this fantastic article from the economist. I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I did

Excellent.  Need more like this.  Have to get people into coins and discounts should work.  Gotta get advertising outside of the coin community.  Good luck!

Why is my wallet taking so long to sync?

[MrWhiteBites]

Why is my wallet taking so long to sync?

This is normal, it is a big blockchain, nearly 2 years old.  So it can take 24hrs to sync,  so make sure to not interrupt it, while the blockchain catches up.

IMPORTANT: Do not send coins to wallet or anything with wallet, until the blockchain has fully loaded.

[firstflyover]

Cool... Thanks!

Happy Easter Everyone Development Update March 27th 2016

We spent the last 2 days working on the rpc test server for the names api (later also messaging) in order to speed the wallet developments. We should have that implemented by tomorrow. We will extend the rpc unit test server with the messaging in a similar way and that should speed things along for us this week. On Tuesday our front end team (PAt & Ophie)  will have access to our private DIONS bitbucket to start to work on the wallet front end lastest changes, and we will be adding the first name api codes to the wallet. While the team is fast working on this lastest calls, Sam is in conversations with Derek for the beta multiple wallet, environment

Environment build which will be comprised of:

Test Environment Basic Layout:
-VMware vSphere 5.x
-2 or 3 ESXi Hosts at version 5.1 U3
-1 vCenter Server
-Back-end storage for VMs via iSCSI with SSD Caching
-Multiple physical switches at 1Gbps(internal communication)
-Internet via fiber with 50Mbps up/down speed
-Multiple static public IP Addresses available(1-3)
-Redundant wherever possible(PSUs, NICs, etc.)

To make things clear for the new community members, we had already successfully beta tested DIONS the actual code. We were successful in registering names, updating and transferring, along with private messaging. This test was conducted months ago within the code in testnet. In this current phase we are in the wallet api code implementation and the upcoming beta will be for Full I/O DIONS Blockchain with wallet, setting us up for the release of Dions V.1. The Wallet is a new redesigned HTML5 wallet which is non QT, we did however specially coded some of the qt features like debug console, wallet lock while staking, and a few others. The wallet is a fresh environment which will allow us to expand nicely into future developments without the need of redesigning it from scratch again. The code for the wallet has be designed exclusively by our team unlike many out there which require a qt wallet.

DIONS will bring registration fees awarded to stakers. As of now they are comprised of 10 IOC per alias, .01 per KB for data and messaging. This  registration fee goes to the confirming staker. It is based on stake size, large stakers have more chances of mining the winning tx. Consider your coins like hashing power to gain more ioc. As we expand and if IOC price climbs we could have a community consensus to adjust fees accordingly.

Thanks Everyone

"It is based on stake size, large stakers have more chances of mining the winning tx."

couple of questions .....
under current pos....aren't rewards based on a constant interest rate of 2%..... so a staker with 100 ioc would earn 2 ioc per year in interest and a staker with 1,000 ioc would get 20 ioc per year ?

under the pos as you explain it larger holders will have an advantage and get larger overtime.....doesn't seem fair...or am I misunderstanding?

also

if I have a wallet with one address that holds 1,000 ioc....does that earn more than a wallet with 10 addresses each holding 100 ioc or do they earn they the same?
corollary - will two wallets,  each with one address holding 500 ioc (i suspect many holders like would like to have multiple wallets for safety and security)....also earn the same in total?

Very good questions!

I thnk coin rewards so be given to people who have the oldest coins.  Not the biggest wallet.

This way you have loyals supporters who have bene here since day 1, getting rewards.

Rather than.

Some rich dude coming along, buying a ton of coins and getting more rewards than the loyal IOC supporter.

I know its  a fine balance, but i am really against, rewards going to the biggest wallets.  If you have big wallets in the first place, then a few extra coins a day is not going to matter so much.

Much better off giving to people who hold less if you ask me, give to the people less fortunate than others.

rewarding loyal long time stakers has been talked about....and would be a nice gesture given that a lot of IOC strength and resilience come from the fact that anywhere from 55% to 65% of IOC coins are staking at all times...which no small feat.
problem being it may dissuade new comers...fine balance again.
btw i just looked and my first stake was received on 8/14/2014....pretty early on but i think Joel got me beat

[mctaino]

Large holders spent and have been spending thousands of dollars buying ioc. Some maybe spent thousands in rigs if they mined ioc in the beginning. From our early days, 70% of our entire supply has exchanged hands in the markets. The rest of our community like me bought and continue to stake. If people who believe in staking are buying assets/coins and risking money, which are non spendable or available for immediate dump, I believe they should get rewarded accordingly to their staking weight, just like saving money in an institution or hashing power in bitcoin. The more they bought and have held the more weight they get to get a reward, this for such a large commitment.

In the future as the price of ioc climbs also the value for each staking ioc. As newcomers come along, if the price of ioc climbs staking power will become more expensive as also an attack to our blockchain. The big one though unlike bitcoin the big difference is energy cost's, so new comers would be incentivised to stake as energy costs are extremely low. We can have stakers with raspberry pi that own 4k ioc earning a possible .25 within days. So again if the price of ioc swells this would be great incentive even for low coin holders. Now I must make it very clear, Larger holders could be more prone to attack and would have to have a more security surrounding their setups = more spendiatures.  This holders would have to incur in other costs to further to secure their wallets with VPN's, firewalls, etc to ensure safety of their networks.

Although our team has gone out of our way to promote staking since our launch, some miners and or traders have chosen to dump coins even as low as 500 sats. Once this coins are dumped to be re-captured by strong holders who have believed in our blockchain from day one, through thick and thin, I believe they should be rewarded accordingly. All have secured our network, while others have gone for quick profits.

Thanks to all the stakers who secure our network.


The one thing that I can say that always makes me proud to say, is the fact that stakers have sweat, loss sleep over, handled price climbs and worked very hard for our staking coins. Unlike many competitors (other blockchain projects) who created ICO'S and gave themselves free coins  and distributed within themselves, to have an unfair advantage over the ico buyers. Still people buy ICO because of this so called quick profit but in some cases they could end up getting burned and or the project could fail, even before it truly takes off. I also and always question this road as it clearly is a premine.


big hug everyone

Hey, rich guys, come and buy as much of this coin as you can, please!  Hehe, would work for me!
