THE ISR MULTIPOOL
The ISR Multipool (Alpha Version) is now open to the public. (Currently supported algos: Scrypt, X11)
There's still plenty of work to be done on it but we'd love for you to start testing it out.
We'd like to stress the point that this is just a tool for the ISR miners, to help stabilize the ISR market against dumpers and other multipools.
This is by no means the main driver for the coin. Sometimes you just need stopgap measures and so here we are.

Isracoin Phase-II Staggered Release Model
The Isracoin national coin allocation will proceed slowly and in a staggered manner
putting coins in the hands of more people than allocation by way of mining.
This will greatly increase the amount of users and the actual value of the network
while significantly increasing market stability.

RELEASED FOR PUBLIC MINING MARCH 26th 23:00 (GMT+2)

A MULTIPHASE, STRUCTURED AIRDROP PLAN WILL COMMENCE MAY 6th 2014 AT MIDNIGHT (GMT+2)

Isracoin is a cryptocurrency for Israel. It is based on scrypt and is 10% premined for Airdrop distribution, has a maximum of 4.8 billion coins, block rewards of 50 coins every 1 minute and DigiShield difficulty retarget every 1 minute as well.
The premined coins will be distributed to the population of Israel and Israeli businesses, commencing on May 6th and in accordance with the plan set forth in the official website.

Isracoin was announced March 24th 2014 and its website opened to the public for the first time. The official launch announcement in Israel took place during a TV segment about the coin, in one of the most prominent economic TV shows in the country.

Israel has one of the highest levels of centralization of wealth and assets, with about 20 families controlling most of the industry and 5 banks controlling a whopping 93% of banking assets in the country.
 
Since 1962 not a single new bank has been established in Israel and lack of competition means the public pays high fees and rates and receives unfavorable terms in their day to day banking. Credit card clearance is also controlled by one body, which has a vested interest in keeping credit card processing fees high. The Israeli banking system is rife with interest over-charging on credit, low interest on deposits and high fees and charges for no apparent reason. The public has no choice but to endure this, while the cost of living skyrockets. Isracoin will help change that.

The purpose of the Airdrop is to put a significant quantity of Isracoins in the hands of as many Israeli citizens and businesses as possible, within a relatively short timespan, in order to jumpstart a strong economy that is based on real-world commerce.
The Airdrop distribution to businesses is an incentive to adopt and implement Isracoin as means of payment, to make the currency geared more towards real commerce.

PREMINE ADDRESSES:
All premine coins have been further consolidated from blocks  1-6000 -> 32 addresses -> <10 addresses.
This was done in order to improve transparency of the premine to the general public.
The premine addresses are now structured according to the distribution plan phases and divided to cold storage addresses and live addresses.
Cold storage will always contain the bulk of the coins, for when they are called upon as needed by the different plan stages to refill the live wallets. The live addresses will be much smaller chunks of coins that are being distributed as the plan moves forward.
For the live operational budget wallet, we plan on adding a spreadsheet (most likely a public read-only google doc) that will contain information on the various expenses from the budget.

Welcome to our Self-Moderated announcement thread.
due to heavy abuse in our non-mod thread, relating to politics instead of Crypto, we are opening this self-mod thread and will attempt to keep it clean and positive.


Our previous unmoderated ANN Thread has been locked and this is now the Isracoin official thread.


Some basic rules for this thread:

First and foremost - ZERO TOLERANCE for abusive language of any kind. Period. Posts containing such abuse will be deleted without notice.
If you can't be civil, even when disagreeing with something or someone, then we can't be friends.

Secondly, and not any less important - This is an Isracoin thread. Not an Israel thread. This is a-political and we will not allow any politics here, period. Suffice it to say that not a single person here is happy about what is going on in Israel and not a single person of ours is happy about the deaths of innocent people. We don't care if you believe us nor do we care what your political views are. And just so you know, our Airdrop also includes Israeli arabs since they are citizens of Israel.
So, this will be the ONLY politically related post in this entire thread and any others will be deleted without notice.

Furthermore - If you reply to an unacceptable post and include a quote of it, or break these rules in your response, even if it of a "positive" nature, we will have to delete your reply as well. So, just avoid responding to posts you know are about to be deleted anyways and save us the task of having to delete yours as well.

We will add/amend rules as we see fit, based on needs that may arise from time to time.
Hopefully people will try to convey their messages in a manner that befits human beings.

And with that, we wish everyone a positive experience here that will help make Isracoin strong and profitable for you all.

Nice to see some fresh information regarding this coin. If this is the new thread please add addition information to op.

Curious if you have any data regarding the phase 1 drop and how it was received by business owners? Has there been follow-up with phase one recipients to get an idea of whether business owners understand the significance of ISR?

I was shocked to learn about the imbalance of wealth in Israel, lack of new banking institutions and thus believe this coin is a genius concept.

Outside of phase 2 airdrop what else is planned for ISR? Technical innovations down the road?

Wallet could really use a skin and added functionality. The default qt wallets looks so elementary.


Keep up the good work devs, I think you've stumbled upon something great and amazingly I have yet to see a copy cat.

Keep active devs, IMHO the coins that survive the next 12 months have a real shot at long-term implementation.

We can do that as well, sure.

There, a link to the locked thread. Sorry that it contains a lot of BS from annoying people, but hey, live and learn right?
We'll also try to bring some of the more relevant posts from there and re-post them here.

And of course we will update here anytime there is something tangible to tell everyone.
Rest assured we are working hard to move Isracoin forward.

First off, thank you for the supportive approach!
We also agree that this coming year will determine a lot in the field of Crypto and we view Isracoin as a long term play. It takes time and an enormous amount of effort to build infrastructure that is required for such a project to take off.

The Phase-I is now being re-designed in terms of making it a)Simpler for the merchant to register and get approved and b)Combine its system together with a Yellow Pages of sorts that will be a platform for users to find said businesses who accept Isracoin.
We've already had about 150 businesses sign up but there is a long road ahead of us and we are working on a number of things that will help businesses, as well as the public adopt Isracoin.

There is one big announcement that we have in the pipeline and are still waiting with, until the terrible round of fighting is over with. This is no time to come out with such announcements, nor can we garner any media attention to anything we do at the moment.
So we bide our time.

There are all sorts of developments happening and we will post soon to provide some details about them.

Please stay tuned and thanks again for the support

We are looking for someone to take charge of the mining pools management.

The most important part of this, is finding pool operators and getting them to open an ISR pool.
Beyond that, keeping an eye on existing pools, maintaining an up to date list (which we will use to update this ANN Thread and our websites).
Also, interacting with the pool operators in cases where there are issues, complaints from users etc.

If you are interested in this position, please PM us or email/skype to discuss.

[RJF]

This is fantastic! A breath of fresh air, thank you for going to a moderated thread. As for the old stuff, just leave it where it is, we can always go back to check something if needed. No need bringing old furniture into a new house!

We are looking for an iOS developer to take charge of a new, native Isracoin iOS wallet.

The main requirements, beyond the general skills of iOS development:

1. Apple dev license, for releasing the app to App Store.
2. Knowledge and experience in managing code on GitHub, including code merging of updated code from original repo and into our fork
3. Willingness to occasionally make such updates, when new code in original repo is available
4. Ability and willingness to develop new features, develop multilingual support and so on.

Payment for work will be in Isracoins only.

If you're interested, please PM us and we'll take it from there.
Include your iOS dev experience, as well as experience with Crypto (preferably from a coding standpoint).
This is more about general iOS development rather than core coin coding (we will provide most of the code relating to ISR coin adaptation)
