Could This Blockchain In Korea Be The First To Connect An Entire Country?

While hundreds of blockchain projects are cropping up around the world, the technology’s true potential to seamlessly share information is still largely untapped. In South Korea, one company is vying to be the first to connect the country through a massive-scale blockchain, and it's already gaining momentum.

Dayli Financial Group, a house of Korean fintech startups, is working on creating an ecosystem called ICON that will allow government departments, universities, hospitals, securities, banks and any private company to interact without third-party networks that charge transaction fees or delay the process. The applications could range from trading not only digital currencies but also stocks, games, security information and even hospital databases. Eliminating the middleman using a blockchain network developed by Dayli's startup theloop, the makers are framing it as a decentralized public good that is not controlled by a single entity and operates for the benefit of society.

With heavily invested internet infrastructure, a strong push for smart cities, a rapidly increasing acceptance of cryptocurrency and a strong economy, Korea has perfect conditions for blockchain, says Min Kim, chief strategy officer at Dayli, formerly named Yello Financial Group.


“Any mom-and-pop shop can potentially take advantage of something like this,” says Kim. “If we connect every single company in Korea or even half of Korea on our network, that’s a massive success story.” Kim hopes that strengthening the blockchain network in Korea will build momentum to springboard into foreign markets.

Blockchain’s roadblock

Building a wide-scale blockchain network in Korea is still uncharted. See-eun Ha, cohost of The Blockchainers, a YouTube channel on blockchain for Koreans, says the country is quickly adopting cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Bitcoin and Ripple. Initial coin offerings have been extremely popular in Korea since Ethereum gained traction earlier this year, Ha says.

But blockchain is a different story. People in Korea think of it first for its use as an investment vehicle to help them make money, but not necessarily its costs or other applications, he said. “Right now it seems people are slowly beginning to understand what this is technology capable of,” Ha says.


Ha believes development of blockchain technology in Korea is still far behind other major markets. Part of that is because Korea is unfamiliar with open-source software, depending instead on proprietary software such as Hancom, the Korean take on Microsoft Office that is used ubiquitously despite its errors or vulnerabilities, he says.

Another roadblock for developers is the language barrier that keeps them from collaborating with the world’s collective intelligence, Ha says.

ICON’S Edge

That’s where Ha believes ICON has a special role in the Korean ecosystem. The technology is already institutionalized, with the backing of the financial sector. It has signed on various projects for a securities consortium, a university, a hospital and insurance providers.

“I think what gives them leverage is that they have a working blockchain engine that is to be deployed in the banking, medical and university sectors,” says Ha, who is familiar with but has no stake in the ICON project. “We know they’re capable at the minimum, so that already puts them ahead of other ICOs that don’t have working products.”

There have been blockchain efforts in Korea like Coinplug, Blocko, Double Chain and IBM’s Hyperledger, but Kim from Dayli claims his project dwarfs theirs in scale because it already has all the infrastructure components in-house.

Kim claims that while many blockchain architects develop a project and expect clients to use it, Dayli builds the projects around clients' specific needs.

can icon process and confirm over thousand transaction per second like eos ?

Pinoy Game Store now accepts ICON tokens ICX
1:27 AM   
ICX tokens accepted at PINOY GAME STORE

Back in 2015, a Korean customer of ours bought multiple exclusive DOTA 2 items using Bitcoin.
That event was the catalyst where we saw the potential for cryptocurrency payments for our store that serves thousands of customers worldwide.

Due to the slow transaction times and high transaction fees for Bitcoin, we decided to accept Ethereum and Litecoin payments in 2017.

ICX / ICON tokens would be our 4th accepted mode of payment.



Due to the popularity of PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS in SOUTH KOREA, we've decided to make it easier for our Korean customers to buy exclusive PUBG items using the ICX token.

You can now buy the following items using ICX:
* DMM T-SHIRT (Japanese exclusive Shirt)
* MAILRU T-SHIRT (Russian exclusive Shirt)
* PANDATV T-SHIRT (Chinese exclusive Shirt)
* KAKAO T-SHIRT (Korean exclusive Shirt - NOT AVAILABLE ON STEAM)

Myetherwallet is compatible with ICX

Is there already a desktop wallet nor web wallet for this where we can store and HODL??

ICON Annual Summit + Mainnet Launch + Release Candidate

Greetings ICONers,
It’s been a very exciting week for all of us. ICON has the global crypto/blockchain community by storm receiving tweets like this or articles like this. We want to thank our community members for your patience and understanding over the past couple of months. Believe us when we say that we know that days or weeks can feel extremely long. We are with you on this. However, what really matters in the end is that the ICON team delivered exceptional results and we will continue to work hard to bring ONLY exceptional results going forward.
Today, we are excited to inform our community members on ICON’s 1st Annual Summit, Mainnet launch, and Release Candidate (RC) deployment.
2018 ICON ANNUAL SUMMIT: THE GENESIS
Overview

On January 31, 2018, ICON team will host our 1st ICON Annual Summit titled “The Genesis”, appropriately at one of the most iconic, tallest skyscrapers in the world — Lotte World Tower. Also appropriately, this event is timed just before the Lunar New Year.
We have invited blockchain experts, entrepreneurs, influencers, and other key decision-makers from around the globe to showcase our latest technical development including Mainnet, 2018 roadmap, and introduce a number of DApps that will run on top of the ICON network. ICON team has strived to “Hyperconnect the World”, and this day will mark the beginning of a new era, the birth of the ICON Network ecosystem.
Event Details (Invitation-only)
- Date: January 31, 2018
- Venue: SIGNIEL Seoul Grand Ballroom (Lotte World Tower)
Key Agenda
- Mainnet demo
- DApps on ICON network
- Business and technical roadmap for 2018
- Interoperability initiatives: Creating standards
Mainnet Launch + Release Candidate (RC)


ICON Mainnet will officially launch on January 24, 2018, one week before 2018 ICON Annual Summit. And today, we have launched our release candidate (RC) version of the ICON Testnet based on various loopchain implementation to generate the genesis block after additional data showing of stability and security of the network. As mentioned, the ICON team is focused on delivering exceptional results. We believe that by publishing RC and timing the Mainnet Launch right before our Annual Summit would again bring exceptional results.
We would like to remind our community that the capability of loopchain, the core engine of ICON, has been validated and proven through number of business implementation projects. With loopchain, our team was able to implement various blockchain services, including CHAIN-ID (authentication), crypto asset exchange, and information sharing system. Our technology is fully enterprise-ready with proven commercial applications.
Our RC represents that all functional implementation and basic tests for actual launch are completed. This also means that our Testnet, which has been operating since early December, has been successfully deployed on the global infrastructure and that we are conducting our final testings before the Mainnet launch.
ICON team is testing following features on the latest RC version:
- ICX transfer and transaction fee processing
- Public Treasury
- Attributes and scoring for IISS system
- ICX distribution under IISS
- Testing IISS under modified attributes
- Run stress test and verify various bug condition (~20 nodes)
- Chrome Extension Wallet
We would like to once again thank our community members for their support.
Thank you,
Hyperconnect the world
ICON Team

Correct

Does the latest news mean that our bounties are going to be released after 24th Jan?

is it official news?

Thanks

I haven't heard or seen anything to see the team as untrustworthy ?   THat being said though i also haven't heard or seen any news on the coin though either.... LOL

So all bounty hunters needs to wait till Jan 24th.

Why is the smart contract source closed?
https://etherscan.io/address/0xb5a5f22694352c15b00323844ad545abb2b11028#code

Why is the github page sending me to loop chain
https://github.com/theloopkr/loopchain

Wheres the smart contract code, wheres any code from ICON ?
Theres even no ABI, what am I supposed to fuzz test it with every possible word combinations? Or trust you to not print a billion tokens and dump?

Why can't I find any code audits on google

The ICON team is very fast and reliable. They do everything when they say.

Hey
Looks cool. Over smart
folks. And You missed my point tottaly! Anyway here is another piece of pie for you.
And just keep trying to figure
out how much "trust worthy" ICX is after all....
https://medium.com/helloiconworld/icon-annual-summit-mainnet-launch-release-candidate-6a6c5b5d86da

Yep i just saw their tweet now. This would be the last chance to buy at these low prices before January 24th, especially if more exchanges list ICX before the mainnet launch. This is going to pump very high. Buy now and hold for atleast 1 year it will be worth it, there will be alot of money made for alot of people.

ICON Mainnet(Testnet ) will officially launch on January 24, 2018, one week before 2018 ICON Annual Summit.

LET IT RIDEEEEEE

Hold for one year. You will be millionare maybe multi or yoi have the chance of loosing your small intial.investment. in comparisant....decissions

Are you asking folks in internet how it's better to control your own money? Perhaps we all are ICON's employees and were paid to advertise it. You should use your own logic and judge by yourself.

If ICON is a real project and they are going to achieve what they said in Whitepaper then yes, holding is the best option.
Unfortunately we have yet no clue if it's real. What have we got so far? They sold their tokens, the price has been pumped up as the result of speculations and promises. It has no real value at all because they haven't launched a shit yet.

They claim they're going to work with a Korean bank or something like that, but there are no proofs of it! We can only trust them. Do you trust people which you don't know?

What do you mean? What is better? I participated Icon ICO. It is better to sell ICX tokens now or hold for a long time?
