Development Update June 3rd 2015
Hello everyone, hope my I/O Coin family is doing well. To start off we are putting the finishing touches to our roadmap. We hope that between today and tomorrow will go over the final draft, closing in on release. We had a slight delay due to one of our writers being sick for 2 days :-( but overall we are looking good. We are also awaiting for the latest screenshots of our New HTML5 wallet. The screenshots of our newest design, will be included in our infographics. All in all we are looking great and we can't wait to have you guys look and read what we have in store for all. Please keep in mind that our wallet system is 1 of a kind, This will be the first time anyone has made a DIONS platform work via coin daemon, rpg and HTML5. This system will be an upgrade to our current html5 system, in line for what we have in store.
This past week we also had a healthy debate on wallet security. We were going over the current qt wallet and html5 wallet security. We will have no problem matching current qt security, but we are also thinking of the possibility of doing more in the future after DIONS release. In the end the best security, is at the OS level. We must be mindful in keeping up proper safety mechanisms, either via vpn, firewalls, antivirus, and or using care when opening random file attachments. In my IT field, we have seen an increase of potential windows risks to the new bitlocker malware that's causing all kinds of havoc, by encrypting your computer files for a bitcoin ransom. This week one of the creators apologized and sent out the master codes and rewind 1 strain of his malware. Make sure to keep all your computers up to date with the latest OS updates. Keep multiple backups of your wallet's .dat If you have our html5 wallet, you should also make a manual backup. Close your wallet and if windows go into Appdata, roaming, iocoin folder and copy your wallet.dat.
So at this point DIONS is fully coded, we are 75% finished with our wallet design, Then it goes over to Pat (backend wallet dev) for DIONS integration. We then bug test, put the final touches, testnet and once we are 100% we will do a pull request to our I/O Coin github. If you have not seen any updates to our current github, its because we have been coding DIONS in a private account, to avoid any potential copying of our work before release. There is also been some slight talk on chameleon project and everyone will find out exactly what is all about in our infographics. Exciting times and lots of hard work ahead.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask Richard or myself.
Thanks Everyone
