Note to all our I/O Coin holders. I/O Coin was fair launched blockchain, this was not an ICO. We are not a company, when you buy IOC your buying from other holders that bought IOC and are selling them. The project is completely decentralized and once anyone buys an IOC they have a voice and your part of our decentralized community. So far Funds to develop came from private funds and lots of hard work in 8-5pm Jobs. The dev team has been working now full time for over 2 years. Businesses were sold, private jobs were put aside and savings were put in to fund our work. We bought coins, just like you, from the markets. Im personally staking my coins since few weeks after the genesis block and Ive been buying ioc when I've had the extra funds. Staking is extremely important for ioc, Yes it takes a bit of time to download and setup, but this is how we can truly secure our blockchain. Going forward with DIONS upgrade it will be even more important to have more nodes. All our stakers will be incentivized through transfer fees, staking fees, registration fees, document storage fees, messaging fees. These fees will be spread to all stakers. Unlike other projects where they have marketing gimmicks like “Master Nodes” here anyone that has weight gets more chances to make extra IOC (More Coins). As our network grows and more transactions are happening, our stakers will be greatly taken care off. We are pushing forward a great decentralized platform that will allow for the liberty of expression and document storage. Now in these days we should not only think about monetary benefits, but also help push platforms for independent developers and companies to have a chance to do Proof Of Concept on our blockchain and build some great dapps. If you have a computer that's in a corner dead doing nothing, dust it off, you could use that computer to stake and help us grow in nodes. Price is important but the more nodes we have the more stronger we become. We have a stakers channel and you're welcome to join and ask questions #stakers-channel.
Please be careful in the markets don’t buy more than what you can afford, prices fluctuate. The dev team doesn’t control markets push up or down. This is a tradable currency. As we grow in market cap more developer will show interest and give ideas on how to add features, improve security and further enhance the I/O Digital blockchain. With the DIONS upgrade we will provide a platform for IOC to be used for alias creation (In V.2 DNS) data (document storage) transfer of documents, identity storage, encrypted messaging, we will have more to come on V.2. We are very long term project, you can check our roadmap at
www.iocoin.io The team will be meeting on friday (tomorrow) to go over some educational infographics and press release so we can spread the news of IOC once we call the block. Lastly we have a foundation that we put together to help spread the word on IOC, which supports the development team. The foundation is a non for profit. Just because the foundation is here it doesn’t stop people from helping on starting their own marketing ideas, promotion or maybe help in development. Please feel free to reach out to the team if you have any question. Try to get involved in any possible way and help us grow our community. We need more people to answer questions, help people installing wallets or correcting any misleading information that could come as it always happens when the price goes on rise.
Lastly for the ones that are asking, we had a bucket list to complete DIONS, two items have already been done. We are still coding the bootstrap, we have a chromium fix and box for enc doc. When we release DIONS remember it will be V.1, we will later on upgrade to V.2 and further enhance as we go along. Chameleon whitepaper will be announce after DIONS along with DIONS V.2 please follow us on facebook, twitter, telegram all our links are on the website. Thank You All, and welcome to the I/O Digital Community
