New Life for Ionomy Atoms with ION Improvement Proposal White Paper
Posted 8 months ago:
"There's many new changes to how Atoms function in the Ionomy Vision. New details are coming in two weeks in the ION Improvement Proposal created by the ION Foundation Group.. An updated White Paper with Token implementation. Atoms will be the first token to be implemented on the ION Blockchain. Atoms are getting a portion of the air drop from Dark Matter. Atoms will earn passive income from transactions of Dark Matter. The production of Electrons is going to be suspended."

ION Improvement Plan - IIP-WildOnION-Node-Responsibility
The design of this proposal will be documented in the ION wallet Program Design Specification (PDS) document maintained by the ION Core Team. Implementation of this ION wallet upgrade correctly will require commitment and a significant number of Man-hours from Ionomy LTD DEVs, the ION Core Team and ionomy community. To support the ION Core Team rapid development schedule, "Ionomy lTD Assets Contracts" design can be implemented as first smart contract on the ION blockchain proving the test of concept and document the real bandwidth usage. The funding of this new functionality could be obtained from crowd sale of ionomy new deflationary asset Dark Matter. Utilizing the code created and tested by the ION Core Team effort. Phase 1 should have system designer Adam Matlack to implement it (refer to IIP 0002). Phase 2 of this design will bring forth "PWR-GRID Assets" and other Smart Contracts to the ionomy. This IIP should use a life-cycle development process that encourages sound system principles and a healthy ION network as ionomy ecosystem grows in the future.

"If the IIP editor approves, he will assign the IIP a number, label it as Standards Track, Informational, or Process, give it status "Draft", and add it to git. The IIP editor will not unreasonably deny an IIP. Reasons for denying IIP status include duplication of effort, disregard for formatting rules, being too unfocused or too broad, being technically unsound, not providing proper motivation or addressing backwards compatibility, or not in keeping with the ION philosophy. For an IIP to be accepted it must meet certain minimum criteria. It must be a clear and complete description of the proposed implementation, if applicable, must be solid and must not complicate the protocol unduly."

It was brought to my attention that Ionomy Studios LTD (setup in UK) has been dissolved but still listed on the App Store as releasing through that company 
What happened, did Krumblez quit the shitshow?

The screenshots seem to be spot on. Ionomy is still exhibiting the same incompetence and deception, still zero market share of the gaming market (negative share really - they're PAYING people to play their games). But I have to admit, I'm amazed how long you morons have stuck with it. I thought after a couple years even the dumbest of the dumbest paycoiners would realize they've been duped and I would never have thought WildShark is smarter than you (not a huge accomplishment though).

This is a powerful suite of tools a developer can use making it easy to integrate blockchain technology into their games. For a small indie game developer this is perfect. If you do some homework you will see it is small indie developers that are masters of innovation and change.
There was a time when you thought a clunky retro platformer was perfect to break into the multibillion dollar mobile gaming industry. It's safe to say that you know jack shit and you're just a lemming following the "team".
Concerning the games that's a different post. But suffice to say new versions of TMOB and OffroadHeat are in the works with Gravity soon to enter Beta. On top of that their is my personnal favourite Rumble Arena Online plus others that are being developed both inhouse and 3rd party. For mobile gaming the launch is just the start i.e. Clash of Clans when launched was no way near as good as it is today.
Did COC have less than 20 players? There is "not as good" and there is "ridiculously shitty".

... Fast forward to today, the last update from a few days ago wildshark missed a key element
... This is a powerful suite of tools for a developer ...
... 2019 is gonna be a good year
This key element does not concern the ionomy investor... When does an ION investor care about setting up a game tournament for users to bloat ION blockchain with "worthless game tokens"
(I don't include Atom & OffroadHeat tokens in this category)I've been trying my best to push out information about ionomy's 2019 business plan but it very hard to advertise the information without the help from korvas and the ionomy cult. All the information is hidden from public in the ionomy chat channels. It would be nice if answers to the questions generated from the Wild's Depot team were answered:
Some members of Wild's Depot research and development team did a post community live update presentation hot wash up. I was able to create a list of discussion comments and questions from the discussion:
What did you think of the update?
I watched it. Load of fluff in my opinion (you may think differently).
P1) I don’t understand who these hangouts are pitched at. Is it investors only? Is it casual gamers who might be using ionomy products? It doesn’t seem to fully suit either audience. For real investors, there’s not much meat there. There’s a lot of vague ‘user numbers have grown’ but there’s no evidence to back that up. How many did they grow by? What are the game usage stats like? What is the revenue like?
P2) There’s a lot of buzzword bingo, and speculation. South Korea. Whatever. You haven’t captured a user base in the west, and yet you’re already stretching yourself too thin.
What do you think? They also seem to be aiming to get a lot out in this quarter - they’re not the best at hitting development targets, so forgive my cynicism.
P3) Dark Matter is being implemented on ION block chain before Atoms. It was promised that Atoms are Next to be implimented. Since the implementation of the ionomy V3 platform, The Atoms do nothing in the ion ecosystem,
P4) There is going to be an ION FORK sometime in Feburary 2019. The Fork is still not scheduled. The wallet being released was not identified nor was a release date of wallet released.
P5) ionomy isn't very sucessful in advertising their own prodect and now want to use twich to to advertise other game tournaments. Thnk big and set up ionomy internet radio station and pay the station manager in IONs to pump out ionomy advertisement and events to the internet community.
P6) ionomy now requiring IONs for payment of ionomy platform services. Change in TOS is coming. This is good first step in putting more value into the ION coin.
P7) Which ION Core team IIPs are in this wallet release? What type of fork will this be for the ION wallet owners?
To point 5: an internet radio station would probably be a dumb idea, the costs of acquiring licenses for music/rights and staff, infrastructure and other costs would be be far beyond even the car sponsorships. In the current music streaming era it would also be extremely hard to gain any traction at all with a simple internet radio channel in terms of listener numbers. But I understand that you’re not a marketer, so that’s fine, and I agree that they do need to do something - anything - differently. They mentioned that they’ve hired a full time marketer, but didn’t talk about his/her experience/why they hired them. And I think I know who it is anyway from watching their twitter posts. If I’m right, it’s not a person who has the type of experience a project like this would need.
To point 6: not sure it’ll add more value unless the platform gets more users. The problem isn’t that there’s not mechanisms in place to prop up the price, the problem is lack of scale. There simply isn’t the user numbers to have an effect right now, and without good marketing/much better product, that isn’t going to turn around anytime soon.
It’s also interesting that Matlack said, bluntly, that he doesn’t care about the price, he cares about the network. This backs up my previous thoughts that they view ions and the ion network as a means to an end and not an investment. The team don’t care if it’s $0.20 or $20 now - it’s done it’s bit and it’s primary utility isn’t as an investment vehicle now, it’s as an infrastructural foundation for the platform.
If I were in a whales position now, I’d be extremely concerned about the direction Matlack is taking this in. I don’t know if they share revenue numbers with the whales/bigger investors, but your primary focus should be getting some idea of how much funding they have left, what their burn rate through that is, how much revenue they’re generating, and when they expect to be profitable. You could then consider negotiating some sort of equity deal as a large Ion holder, or selling out if their revenue figures aren’t strong enough. This project is nearly three years in, and there should be more transparency around their figures by now. In a regulated environment they’d have been required to have posted accounts already. At the moment, you stand a significant risk of being sold down the river if the company ends up being profitable down the line (I don’t think it’s likely to, but that’s just my opinion), because it sounds like they’re not interested in Ion token value at all. If that’s the case you’ve essentially handed over wads of cash for them to use to shore themselves up financially with no tangible way of seeing a return on that unless ions get pumped in a wildly speculative market again.(edited)
XDM won’t do anything to help. The era of crazy "worthless token" sales is long gone, and the public at large don’t care about hyper deflationary currency anyway - the concept is so far removed from what most people engage with that to assume it’ll gain traction outside of a tiny niche is absurd. It’ll be traded amongst the existing ion community and no further, in my opinion.

Korvas I see here again you make no reply for question. Ion is for 3 years so what? Perhaps you cannot think to say or have only feelings with no showings of it? So I ask again what is making better ion? Games no good. Platform no good people do not use. Share of nodes does not bring so many people. Stickers on cars for racing does not make people come. What then? Pleas tell we wait for you.
No, it's more a case of me being very busy....
Quote
Ion is for 3 years so what?
2 main reasons why I invested in ION 3 years ago.
1 - The Ionomy vision then was all about bringing blockchain technology to the gaming industry specifically mobile. I have spent many years working around this industry seeing firsthand how it is quick to adopt to new technology and embrace innovation. Looking at the size of the opportunity I figured if Ionomy get this right the rewards would be huge
2 - Ionomy had ZERO relationship with tainted/crooked GAW, Garza & XPY dev team. Ionomy tried to save XPY but soon discovered XPY to be as rotten as everything else. Ionomy could have easily dropped XPY BUT they didn't. Despite the barrage of crap they endured, the company did the right thing of supporting their customers offering a transition to ION.
To you 3 years is nothing to me it's everything !!!!!
Fast forward to today, the last update from a few days ago wildshark missed a key element
PWRGRD
This is a powerful suite of tools a developer can use making it easy to integrate blockchain technology into their games. For a small indie game developer this is perfect. If you do some homework you will see it is small indie developers that are masters of innovation and change.
How long to you think this suite of software took to develop ? these kind of tools take months,.
PWRGRD is just one element of the ionomy vision. Unlike Wildshark I'm very happy with the direction and what Ionomy have so far achieved as it's way ahead of anything else I've seen, especially from companies that 3 years ago positioned themselves as leaders.
Concerning the games that's a different post. But suffice to say new versions of TMOB and OffroadHeat are in the works with Gravity soon to enter Beta. On top of that their is my personnal favourite Rumble Arena Online plus others that are being developed both inhouse and 3rd party. For mobile gaming the launch is just the start i.e. Clash of Clans when launched was no way near as good as it is today.
As an investment platform Ionomy V3 is shaping up to be a unique proposition with a lot more to follow.... why else would would you spend time, resource and possibly money to integrate HassOnline.
The Ionomy V1 platform launched in April 2016 and has never missed a payment, never been hacked, Employee/developer have never stolen anything and any downtime has always been compensated so not only is the platform innovative the devs also take security and stability seriously standing by their product.
2019 is gonna be a good year

Genius korva I did not post for dox which it is not. You can miss my point. I post to show all this fact that you believe in thing long over when it is good to. You do with Gaw and now you do same with ions. Only some idiot does it.
Maybe you cannot discuss so you chose to go on long track round point. So show if you can what is thing which can make ionomy success please? Games not good. Reborn platform no good. Rent of car graphic no good. What then, you must no?

Okay so your making it about me
True, I was an idot with GAW but at least I was an idot that saw the car crash coming
I can elaborate on the tweet you posted but that would be off topic Ionomy is 100% different. GAW lasted less than a year, Ionomy are just coming up to year 3. You say everything is rubbish, that is okay everyone is entitled to an opinion even an arsehole like yourself.
. I do agree with one thing though.... I am a genius
if you’re a genius why did you invest in gaw?
ion still going down. you say hosted mn is them branching but ionomy core business is games right... you keep saying only 1,2,3 years old give it time. how many years before their failure to have a decent amount of developers means they are failing at goal? 3 years and 1 third party dev. thats pretty shit korvas. with the premine they have they could of funded dev teams on game release contracts exclusive to ion. why are they so slow?

Come visit Wild's Depot and and chat with the research and development team to get the original scoop.It would be an honor if you stopped in and express your constructive criticism of the ionomy plan.
Did you even watch the ionomy live presentation?

But I understand that you’re not a marketer, so that’s fine, and I agree that they do need to do something - anything - differently. They mentioned that they’ve hired a full time marketer, but didn’t talk about his/her experience/why they hired them. And I think I know who it is anyway from watching their twitter posts. If I’m right, it’s not a person who has the type of experience a project like this would need.
To point 6: not sure it’ll add more value unless the platform gets more users. The problem isn’t that there’s not mechanisms in place to prop up the price, the problem is lack of scale. There simply isn’t the user numbers to have an effect right now, and without good marketing/much better product, that isn’t going to turn around anytime soon.
It’s also interesting that Matlack said, bluntly, that he doesn’t care about the price, he cares about the network. This backs up my previous thoughts that they view ions and the ion network as a means to an end and not an investment. The team don’t care if it’s $0.20 or $20 now - it’s done it’s bit and it’s primary utility isn’t as an investment vehicle now, it’s as an infrastructural foundation for the platform.
If I were in a whales position now, I’d be extremely concerned about the direction Matlack is taking this in. I don’t know if they share revenue numbers with the whales/bigger investors, but your primary focus should be getting some idea of how much funding they have left, what their burn rate through that is, how much revenue they’re generating, and when they expect to be profitable. You could then consider negotiating some sort of equity deal as a large Ion holder, or selling out if their revenue figures aren’t strong enough. This project is nearly three years in, and there should be more transparency around their figures by now. In a regulated environment they’d have been required to have posted accounts already. At the moment, you stand a significant risk of being sold down the river if the company ends up being profitable down the line (I don’t think it’s likely to, but that’s just my opinion), because it sounds like they’re not interested in Ion token value at all. If that’s the case you’ve essentially handed over wads of cash for them to use to shore themselves up financially with no tangible way of seeing a return on that unless ions get pumped in a wildly speculative market again.(edited)
XDM won’t do anything to help. The era of crazy "worthless token" sales is long gone, and the public at large don’t care about hyper deflationary currency anyway - the concept is so far removed from what most people engage with that to assume it’ll gain traction outside of a tiny niche is absurd. It’ll be traded amongst the existing ion community and no further, in my opinion.
What did you think of the update?
I watched it. Load of fluff in my opinion (you may think differently).
P1) I don’t understand who these hangouts are pitched at. Is it investors only? Is it casual gamers who might be using ionomy products? It doesn’t seem to fully suit either audience. For real investors, there’s not much meat there. There’s a lot of vague ‘user numbers have grown’ but there’s no evidence to back that up. How many did they grow by? What are the game usage stats like? What is the revenue like?
P2) There’s a lot of buzzword bingo, and speculation. South Korea. Whatever. You haven’t captured a user base in the west, and yet you’re already stretching yourself too thin.
What do you think? They also seem to be aiming to get a lot out in this quarter - they’re not the best at hitting development targets, so forgive my cynicism.
P3) Dark Matter is being implemented on ION block chain before Atoms. It was promised that Atoms are Next to be implimented. Since the implementation of the ionomy V3 platform, The Atoms do nothing in the ion ecosystem,
P4) There is going to be an ION FORK sometime in Feburary 2019. The Fork is still not scheduled. The wallet being released was not identified nor was a release date of wallet released.
P5) ionomy isn't very sucessful in advertising their own prodect and now want to use twich to to advertise other game tournaments. Thnk big and set up ionomy internet radio station and pay the station manager in IONs to pump out ionomy advertisement and events to the internet community.
P6) ionomy now requiring IONs for payment of ionomy platform services. Change in TOS is coming. This is good first step in putting more value into the ION coin.
P7) Which ION Core team IIPs are in this wallet release? What type of fork will this be for the ION wallet owners?

You missed the joke of this situation, It has been over a year that Mr. Matlack promised air drop of "Free" Dark Matter to the community. There is no ionomy schedule/milestone for roll-out of this innovative product 
In usual ionomy way, the ionomy product is again behind a year in implementing on the ION blockchain and into the crypto market
Raining down Dark Matter to the public will show the ION and Atom investors the start of ionomy's successful 2019 business plan
ionomy is hosting a YouTube Live community update Friday, January 4th 9pm GMT (3pm Central)

isnt doxxing private hidden info? i thought publicly available info wasnt considered doxxing especially if its a twitter account with your real name and the same picture. i think thats more of you giving your details up to a public site.... like signing up to newsletters etc.
Korvas been posting reviews on ionomy games and comments on youtube videos for years. If that's doxing then he needs his intertubes cut off due to stupidity.
@wildshark... got proof its suchmoon? seems like you taking a wildstab at something rather than having facts. its more likely to be that bubbaj person or one going on about garza and atolen money. their spelling and grammer matches.
Or boki has reincarnated LOL.
Another day another troll....
Why create a new ALT if the content posted is within the BCT guidelines
it's not hence the new ALTDress it however you want I'm happy to let people read it and decide for themselves
