This is getting to be quite serious, i seen the network has dropped to under 40mh/s... its been slowly dropping since the doubts of people have been listed verbally here. hopefully you have some good information planned for your Q&A or it might be bad.....

:+) thanks.
I would love to but I have no time. I'm in my underwear getting ready for work. It looks a bit like this:

On second thoughts hey look at that date. I might be free then, I'll see if I can make it. Eh.... it's 6AM Sunday in my time zone... maybe someone can just wear an awesome beard and sound smart to pretend to be me.

fablkak? I think you've misread this post.

Yes people can find out about it by reading the source code or checking every page of the forum but that isn't being transparent about something important and potentially very negative for the community.

Then perhaps the premine should have been 0.1%. How do you justify the need for the other 4,500,000 coins? HOW and WHEN do you plan on spending the remaining 0.9%?

Like what specifically? and when? No offence but the community see the existence of the premine and your apparent reluctance to spend it a real risk.


You should be in a hurry! Coins rise and in the blink of an eye. This again just looks like you want to hold on to the premine before it hits the exchanges so you can dump it.


I get that a developer would want to save a little chunk of coins for himself but how much of that 4,500,000 are we talking? Do you intend to keep for yourself whatever you didn't spend on promotions? Do you have a fixed amount in mind or do you just want to hold onto as much as possible? Without being forthcoming with any of this stuff when we asked for transparency is not doing you any good!

So.... you want to hit the exchanges while you're still sitting on a mountain of coins. Ok, that's not cool in the eyes of the miners.

I'm sorry to hear that you broke your leg. Once you get out of hospital you really need to start building trust or this coin will die within the week. You want my advice? probably not but I'm going to tell you anyway. Keep your 50,000-100,000 coins that you plan on keeping for yourself and give the rest to the other devs to be spent ASAP on promotions.

In short, you can have a successful coin or you can keep a large premine to yourself but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Maybe you should be in a hurry to push the coin. Currently, investors, miners, and other supporters of the coin are flocking elsewhere.

The value of the coin has dropped 50% since it hit exchanges. The mining hashrate is plummeting, and difficulty will be below 2 at next retarget. The few people who still post here and support the coin are no longer feeling too optimistic, as can be seen in recent posts.

The developer of the new leafcoin dumped almost all the premine the first week on giveaways, promotions, bounties, etc. and now the community is so big and enthusiastic that they're supporting further efforts just through donations. This is a much different approach, but one that may be more successful in both the short and long terms.

I hope to see as many people as possible on IRC.

RC Channel:#icoin on Rizon - IRC link: https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=icoin&uio=d4

Will be setting up some new promotions for our mining pool pretty soon. 
This time we'll also target some of the promos towards hash-rate!
More info soon on http://speedminer.org

Please join and get in for the ride!

Anyone wanna get me started =]

thx

Special beam cannon!!!!!!

You lot are entertaining, please carry on 

Will you be able to get someone from the QQ group to come ask questions and feedback?

Well I have joined the QQ group for long time and talk to the group host from time to time

Yes they are trying to push ICOIN to some Chinese exchanges but they also need some killer features and hot topic/promotion as the selling point.

I agree ICOIN is a very good name however people need to be told why buying this coin is a good choice.

Thats great!

Community questions and answer session with Viperbass on IRC.

7pm GMT this Saturday Viperbass will hold a questions and answers session with the community.

This is to get through concerns, plans and questions you have regarding iCoin going forward... we have had a day of turmoil on the forums and
we want to address all your concerns.

This will be done more frequently going forward.

This is all the community wants!

THANK YOU!

Thanks Captain.

I have also just spoken to CaptainHook and we will try be as forthcoming and transparent as possible about the premine.

Later on I will post all the links to the other giveaways and services not included in the OP where iCoin was payed out.

Captainhook is also the dev that I mentioned earlier that broke his leg last week friday but I didn't want to bring that up in the conversations to distract from what people
are feeling.

I am glad this was discussed sooner rather then later and hopefully soon when we release our new branding for iCoin that you will see some investment going into it.

Please if anyone has been hard done by or a bounty has not been payed please let us know.

Thanks you for theses discussions and we will improve transparency from our side.

Everyone knows 1% premined stated clearly when the coin released, both in ANN thread and Github readme. Nothing to hide from this, anyone can check source code for that.

500k iCoin was given away for Bounties, Graphic design, PR, Dice, Faucet and still going on. Without the premined, we think we were not able to build these great services and have amazing people like Viberpass and Cointopic.

The premined coins are being used for lot of things now and future.

We are not in hurry to push the coin, we are slowly building services around the coin day by day.

And all services are paid in iCoin only, everyone takes part in will have shares in this 1% premined.

As planned, we are still working to add iCoin to Chinese Exchange.

It's Chinese new year here and i am still in hostpital, will back to you later.

Happy new year and cheers!
C.H.

I do agree, give everyone a chance to voice their side of things before jumping to conclusions and getting the pitchfork out . You have handled this quite well viper, a community with questions can be a rather hostile one!
I do like the thought of this coin as it could appeal to lots, hope all gets sorted.

Hey Gravity,

I understand your concerns and I am waiting for a response from CaptainHook about sharing the funds with the team so we can manage the marketing properly and don't have to solely rely
on him.

Regarding your question I only know Cointopics details, we both don't know who CaptainHook is, with that being said he has always delivered with regards to previous giveaways
and paying off of bounties and rewards. Our discussions have all been via PM and via skype under the name CaptainHook.

I know it looks bad and maybe cointopic and I have been too trusting in this case, but once I hear back from CaptainHook about how we going to deal with the premine I will
let you all know.

I have always been honest with the community and will continue to do so, I didn't invest my time for the money, I have enough , I invested my time in iCoin because I think it can be special, yes
we do have one problem and we will try resolve it to establish trust regarding the premine.

WTB 100,000 iCoins for 0.1 BTC.

viperbass and cointopic if Captainhook ends up being a scammer you guys can simply start up another iCoin with a developer you trust and do things properly from the start. Clearly a lot of work has gone into
this from both you and you have all the design in place.

I really hope I am wrong about this situation and the community hears a response from CaptainHook ASAP. FYI - He still hasn't replied to my PM about helping to market the coin.

edit: You still haven't answered my question regarding his contact details?
