Add these modifications with the IPO suggestions I made above and I think you'll have a winner.

The next thing to consider would be the coin release schedule during the PoW phase and how long it would last. I recommend a 1-2 year mining period while x11 is still asic resistant.

So many troubles with this coin along the way, mostly due to premine, and yet i'm pretty sure everybody knows it has the best name/branding to go mainstream.

Captainhook, your upcoming tweaks look perfect to me, but i think it would be an error not to consider POS (not much 3% a year would be enough to make more people tend to hold) for this great coin. I mean, great name, premine gone through ipo, x11 algo + pos hype (see blackcoin and all clones crazyness), icoin would fly within days and be massively adopted. Icoin would be the first x11 POW/POS coin. All blackcoin clones around are still running on old scrypt during pow phase.

Also, the 500 millions total coins is misleading i guess in people's mind. This coin is rare, only 10 millions right now !!! And will be even more after ur tweaks !!! It should be more clear in OP i think for people to make up a target price more easily as most of them don't know mining is supposed to last decades as a very slow release rate.

I'm glad icoin will be faster and even more scarce.

Well, u know what u have to do to make it one of the best coin around specs wise. Icoin future is in your hands Marketing will be a piece of cake after that, easy to promote a well thought coin with flawless technical side.

 

Can't wait to finally see icoin rise and get its shiny coinkite one day !

Hey Guys,

The geticoin.com website is live again, I would just like to stress that cointopic was payed to design a website for iCoin and that is the only thing he did, he had absolutely no involvement in anyway with iCoin further then that. All decisions came from the rest of the team.

Cointopic will be sending the website to Captainhook.

I totally agree. iCoin needs to reach some appreciated exchanges like Mintpal or Cryptsy, then it can spread worldwide

Finally you guys going to IPO, i remember that i requested IPO long time ago.

Will join this IPO, have plenty of BTC to invest

Will there be escrow services available? The iCoin Team has been very upfront and quick to respond, but there have been too many IPO scams lately for me to transfer BTC directly. It would also bring more credibility to the IPO if all transactions were handled by a 3rd party considering ~35% of icoins are about to be deployed.

I think the community should have input on where the IPO funds are directed considering the original premine was supposed to be used for promotion / development.  There should be pre-allocated percentages from the IPO used to carry out these ideas. The IPO will be unsuccessful if it is perceived as a developer payout before iCoin completely tanks.


Let's start a list of some good ideas:

1) iCoin isn't on any reputable exchanges atm. Use escrow to hold the IPO, and then allocate 25% of funds generated to Mintpal votes.

Yes, we will put IPO information on bitcointalk, twitter/facebook/reddit and website tomorrow.

Can we have the IPO information put up on the twitter/facebook pages for better promotion.... the greater the distribution, the more successful icoin will be.

Thanks for putting in the effort you did, hope you stop by and keep an eye on iCoin

As former iCoin designer I would like to make a statement.

As of last week (see Viperbass announcement) I am no longer in any way involved with iCoin. I have no connections with captainhook.

This does NOT mean I have bad feelings about iCoin, captainhook or the rest of the team.
But I can't be involved any longer.

I still own some domains related to iCoin but will transfer these to Viperbass.

I hope iCoin will be a succes and please respect my decision.

What will the IPO BTC be used for?

Infrastructures for the coin? Payment to devs?

I guess some people will just see it as a dump of the premine without the need to go through an exchange, so this needs to be clear.

very exciting! X11 is going to help with the temps here in the UK this summer

Nice work captain

nice captain, these updates look very appealing !!

Thank you Ryan, you did a great job for iCoin at CryptoCurrency Convention.

For the premined coin, 1.5m were given out for bounties since the coin released, currently i hold 3.5m iCoin. So 100% - 3.5 million pre-mined iCoin will be granted to IPO investors.

1. IPO plan:

I'm preparing IPO microsite, the live stats of the IPO will be available on our site at the IPO time.

2. Another big thing is next iCoin update soon after IPO:
- New algorithm: X11.
- Block reward will be reduced dramatically.
- Faster havles time.
- Include a chat system in wallet so we can discuss directly.
- Wallet startup sound (we have an instrumental sound dedicated compose for iCoin)
- iCoin exchange in wallet. Will contact Poloniex to re-list iCoin and offer them to be official exchange of iCoin.

Don't have to be worry about your speech, it was pretty good. Hope you will stay inside iCoin dev team

That was pretty damn good..... man, how the hell are u gonna give an awesome presentation like that and then leave the team 

Excellent stuff Ryan!! Really good to see the video come out.

BTW captainhook will have announcement to make about the premine in 2 weeks from now. We urge all investors who want to see iCoin go to the next step to partake in it. Once the premine is gone then skies the limit. It seems this is what the community has been waiting for and I am all for it!

Ryan, you did an amazing job giving the speech. It was great and I don't you should worry about your further speeches...

I think over 1 million of the premine has been spent, but Captainhook the unknown creator still holds onto the rest. I tried buying the premine off him when iCoin first started for 12 btc as I thought I could do better with the coin. Then the iCoin team surprised me but the price was being squashed and nervous investors as they affaird captainhook could dump out at any time.

Maybe Ryan can PM bluestreet to restart iCoin if it's worth it or maybe captainhook will do something about the premine?

Great speech Ryan!!! Do you know what captainhook is going to do with the premine? It would be a waste to see iCoin fall now because of 1 person even though he created it, cryptos are not about ownership.
