Are there any updates regarding the DEV process? Deadline is coming really close already.. I guess another 7 months of waiting or is the date of the release still valid (until end of june)?

Are there any updates regarding the DEV process? Deadline is coming really close already.. I guess another 7 months of waiting or is the date of the release still valid (until end of june)?

Unfortunately not i think. Since december it's only "we are actively working on the background". I checked Twitter and Bitcointalk but no real updates so far. Neither on Github besides some readme files that change.
You can imagine being so close to July they could have updated the community by now. Maybe we are in for a surprise. And if not, at least say: we postpone another 6 months. Hope not.
It's a hell of a task and security is key. Wouldn't mind postponing it for those reasons but comms are lacking here. I'll keep 'em staking till then for the full 1.5 IOC reward.

So I haven't seen any update yet, but maybe they shared on in Telegram https://t.me/iocoin_official . I'm not in there so not sure. I guess they would have shared it on other socials then as well.

[IO Dev Team]

Today we celebrate our 6th 🎉 consecutive year of hard work & pure dedication.
Congratulations to everyone who has given it all for our project to have made it this far. 

Thank You to All.

Dev Update

We recently updated the Main Branch yesterday and have been updating our main branch when our additions pass local testing.  We only update code when we see fit to do so. This is how we have worked for years. We worked DIONS in the same way and we are doing the same with NightHawk.  At this time we have put our estimation of completion for December as we have added a new feature with private balances.

There have been updates to our website that are not currently live, all in preparation for NightHawk.

The team is also actively working on setting up options for Chameleon. Our plan is for Chameleon to follow Night Hawk but we must do so in an organized manner and that’s what we have been working on.

I wish we had a magic wand to speed up everything that we are working on but we don’t have those capabilities just yet. With that said as with DIONS we can’t wait for IOC to be upgrade with NightHawk. Please remember as with any other release when the time comes, will need everyone staking and helping us to ensure we have a successful upgrade. We have been in full communication with Bittrex and they are aware of our work.

I want to thank everyone that continues to follow our project.



Thank You all

IOC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

October 8th 2020

IOC's Development Update

Due to the current push by governments to further break anon chains, it was imperative the team address these issues with our community. After carefully reviewing current stances, in order to afford our users complete private transactions with IOC, the team assessed that this would require a new chain implying a full reset back to a genesis block embedding mandatory privacy. For these reasons the Zero Knowledge protocol part of the upgrade is on hold. It is our duty to always advise best practices to protect the project and its users.
Recent action from governments against other privacy projects include:
- Monero - organizations being paid to crack and track balances See here
- Mimblewimble Not ready for Litecoin, currently in testnet slated for 2021 if miners adopt
- Travel Rule: establishment efforts to apply it to our sector & counter efforts to propose a ZK crypto-based solution instead.
- BitMEX - Implications of Money laundering, failure to KYC/AML and infringing OFAC guidelines

Unfortunately simply 'turning on' anon features even by encrypting balances, will not 'hide' the full transaction history (Monero comparison and what we're seeing today as mentioned above). The fix for this would be to create a completely new ledger for Nighthawk. Unfortunately this is complicated for users and requires a swap of 'Original IOC' to 'Nighthawk IOC'. The swap is not complicated for the team but it would require a decentralized exchange to do a full swap. This would be the right way to go full anon in order to ensure complete transaction anonymity. This solution can certainly be revisited depending how the regulatory environment continues and changes to cryptocurrency laws over the next months and years.

*If we were to still proceed under current conditions with Nighthawk, it would offer some privacy protections from the enabled block forward but without starting a new "sidechain" or "IOC Chain Reset" it would not be possible to offer full anonymity and prior Nighthawk transactions could be traced. Code work on Zero Knowledge is intact and we would not lose it. We can at any time go back to it again and if proper solutions are worked out in the future.*

This is our proposal for the community
Our proposal going forward for IOC would be to keep the original chain going and activate the current mostly ready upgrades of the Nighthawk protocol which would be:

- Stake halving
- Blockchain pruning tool for orphans
- Cold Sig (offline signatures)

These upgrades would be activated at a certain block in late November and wouldn't require a swap or complicated wallet updates.

As part of the proposal, with now proven POS security, we would follow this upgrade by enabling Smart Contracts on IOC. Smart Contracts would thrust IOC to move in parallel to current market conditions by allowing developers to deploy DeFi/Tokens while including NFTs to be leveraged in a wide spectrum of cases like gaming and Intellectual Property/Copyright. Fees for deploying smart contracts will be rerouted back to stakers. By enabling smart contracts, IOC would be primed to serve as a launching platform for the future Chameleon project alongside DIOEX, which would serve as a decentralized exchange swap "bridge" for both projects. We hope that this will clarify current conditions and we look forward to our community discussions.

These were laudable intentions by all standards and thanks for this update. If I may ask, has the planned upgrade gone live? Since it was slated for a certain block this in month.

Furthermore I'd like to suggest a more regular update to the community

Small update. We are continuing to make progress with the QT - adding & testing icons. https://github.com/IOCoin/DIONS

We are also watching carefully for new laws that could be enabled around “safe harbor” which if implemented could be beneficial in order to provide guindance and clearance into our cham future  launch https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-s-crypto-mom-demands-innovation-says-you-can-t-prosecute-an-algorithm

If this project had 20BTC vol daily, you guys would be on Binance and flying!

Binance wants volume.  Make it happen!

Amazing to see a project from 2014 still alive and looking good with developments, keep it up.

Dev update 3/17/2021

We have some technical information to share on our latest completed testing of the qt vs html5. The qt mem profile came back much better than the html5 electron wallet. The html5 electron is very mem hungry in comparison to our latest Qt wallet work. Staking and syncing with the QT wallet on laptops that are running with less than 8GB of memory should see a noticeable improvement. During the first QT delivery users will still have the option of sticking with the HTML5 as we continue to add all the  html5 features to the QT. During the process as always features are always available via the daemon. This is only for users who rely on the front end wallet. Once we clear this work here, we will move to smart contract testing (ethereum, ada, poka VM). We will be forking all the chains mentioned in order to conduct testing. This will then allow us to do testing within the core and their smart contract capabilities in comparison to what we will be looking to deploy. This will allow for us to decide language, features and optimal parameters for our SMC (Smart Contracts) Flavor in order to position ourselves to get into upgrading ioc VM/SMC and going to cham

Bootstrap not working, app tries to connect to multiple ip's with connection failed. Syncing from scratch seems to work but didn't wait to finish.

EDIT: Syncing from scratch also failed and the app does not syncing anymore. Bootstrap sync few blocks, then log multiple "trying connection xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx lastseen=x hrs" and then app crash. Tested on Debian and Windows. So now there is no way how to use your wallet. Can you help with this?

Yes we can surely help.  (also see: https://github.com/iocoin/dions/releases)

Close the wallet
Open iocoin.conf
Add:

amer.supernode.iocoin.io
emea.supernode.iocoin.io
apac.supernode.iocoin.io

Close iocoin.conf and save.

Restart the wallet.

If you want to use the bootstrap: yes it appears in the logfiles that you are trying to connect to old ip's.
but let it run for a day and you will see the bootstrap is loaded. When loading the bootstrap it also verifys the bootstrap and that can take some time.
In a few hours - on a good PC - the bootstrap will be loaded and up to sync.

Good luck, should be very easy to do.

Please join our Telegram channel so we can help you out. Seems there is something off in your install.
I personally have multiple debian servers running the IOC daemon without any problems. Also import is fine.

https://t.me/iocoin_official

Did you check the Debian install FAQ?
https://github.com/mattenglund/IOC-Community-Wiki/wiki
If you follow this step by step it works. You do need some dependencies.

It is already in the iocoin.conf file. Problem is that it is not posible to keep app running because app is closed in about 10 minutes after multiple ip connect failures.
The installation procedure was: execute dions-aurora-deb.sh, it installs iocoin-html5-wallet-2.0.0-x86_64.AppImage, open app, closed app, extract bootstrap blk0001.dat and directory txleveldb into the direcotry, open app, wait 10 minutes, crash.
There is no log file you mentioned?

EDIT: I found log file in the txleveldb directory, I deleted it but it did not help.

June 23, 2021 Development Update

After 2 weeks of testing and further inspecting around solidity we have decided to go with our own route to molding our Dvm (Dions Virtual Machine).
We will be using “Dions payload” for first tests of deploying our smart contracts to the iOC Dions testnet.
This will involve us also testing the virtual machine Dvm that processes the code for example;

cycle — create — call functions



As we progress, with the code work we will start to receive test results. And as we get further along the main smart contract language “ide tools” will be added so
that our Dvm will be able to handle solidity compiles within the Dions ecosystem. This approach will provide us with the same user appearance as the smart contracts
in Ethereum but the mechanism under the Dvm hood will be our own unique code work.
As soon as this is accomplished will get to live testnet for wider testing and perfection. We will be releasing an updated whitepaper with all technical enhancement details
once we are through testing all our new added spec features.

We are estimating, if we stay the fulltime course with no delays 3 to 4 weeks to reach live DVM RC1
Please consider donating to our devfund which helps our team in keeping working Full Time…. iOC never had an ICO and the team works purely by donated time in keeping
with fair, core and decentralized Bitcoin fundamentals.

This is I/O Coin 7th year anniversary (7/24/2014).

On this episode the ioc devs discuss the upcoming DVM smart contract layer implementation
which will bring full Ethereum smart contract compatibility along with many other upgrades. 

Follow our project

Twitter: https://twitter.com/IOCoin_Official
Telegram: https://t.me/iocoin_official


I/O Coin (iOC) was fair launched on July 24th, 2014. IOC is a Privacy based cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem project.
IOC was initially launched via POW X11 (video card resistant) algorithm. The difficult mining period lasted for 2 weeks. This in
order to properly and fairly distribute 16M coins before switching over to our own unique flavor of Proof of Stake Cipher to secure
our blockchain. There are around 19 Million iOC in circulation with a 1.5 IOC staking reward per block. The remaining IOC are
minted via POS reward system for Stakers who work on confirming transactions. Stakers also receive transaction fees from on
chain services. Their is no governance model. We value freedom and the community was built with a free, fair minded and decentralized
spirit. IOC was launched without any Initial Coin Offer (ICO) or Premine.

In 2015 we were the first ones to move away from the Bitcoin QT wallet and replaced it with a unique "fully decentralized"
HTML5/JS based UI wallet. Along with IONS DNS. In 2016 The iOC community and developers formed the I/O Digital foundation
to further awareness of the open source public blockchain as it was done for Bitcoin, Litecoin and a few other fair launched projects.
In 2017 I/O developers upgraded iOC's blockchain protocol to codename DIONS "Decentralized Input Output Name Server" further
enhancing the base platform to host decentralized applications.

iOC Enabled On Chain Services include:

The IOC Blockchain enables identity storage, you can store your own personal identification and be in full control of who can view it and
who you share it with.  Our avatar creation allows storage for art and pictures. Also deeds, copyrights, trademarks, proof of ownership,
data and much more. All of which are fully encrypted, fully controlled by you. Dions Pay, Private and Public identities, Private Dion send
Addresses, AES 256 Encrypted 1MB Document/Data (upload, transfer via private users) capabilities, along with AES 256 Encrypted Instant
Messaging. The I/O dev team also enabled and increased capacity to 4MB blocks with up to 16 second confirmation times. Along with our
very own POS Cipher and shuffle staking features. Ensuring that even low weighted users would always see a reward for their work.

The IOC Dev team is now focused on enabling Smart Contracts to ensure a future launch of "Chameleon - a scalable entropy based molecular
graph ledger, to advanced interoperability of multiple blockchains and deploy our own scalable virtual machine and I/O abstract smart
contract Ecosystem". The team will follow Chameleon with DIOEX. Essentially creating a completely private, secure and fully decentralized
economic ecosystem.

IOC is a fully decentralized world wide cryptocurrency maintained by the I/O Digital Foundation and the iOC World Wide Community.  iOC is
 here to give back control to the people.

aim wasnt that good though. June now.
still in progress and soon to be on testnet (they say). Lets hope so.
but it needs to be secure and working so can take some more time.
