If you are new to I/O Coin and you would like to have our current wallet, you're welcome to download the wallet and use this bootstrap to speed up the sync. Please make sure to always send 1 ioc after your fully synced to test make sure your received the coin. Please always keep backups up to date. We will be calling a block after we are done with open source code reviews for DIONS for now you may use our current wallet.

Thank You

Joel I/O Dev Team

Awesome code , great and wish you the best.

Huge milestone guys!
Well done and keep faith

You get to be proud of the kid, no matter what!   Congrats guys.  Long road well traveled.  No matter how this goes, you guys poured effort into a project you believed in.  Be proud and I really hope it becomes all you want it to be. 

Of all the coins I have followed, you guys are in the top tier of teams, hands down.  You have proven success through vision and hard work.  Very, very good example for coins and people everywhere.

IMPORTANT MILESTONE


2.5 yr I/O Coin DIONS development goes Open Source today. - this is a very important milestone for the team and the I/O Digital project.

We are making contacts and inviting  Bittrex, Poloniex and Devs to review code. IT’s has been 2 1/2 years of work.

For me (Founder Joel Bosh) is like sending my child to School for the first time and waiting on the teacher to give me views on my child.
But in all honesty I want to let everyone know that we have poured or brains on the code and it’s a big day for us filled with mix feelings but most importantly super excited.

During this period the code will be reviewed by the open source community.
Today the smoke and mirrors argument is now put to bed. 

Will be going live soon.

Team I/O Digital

This looks so undervalued at the moment, cant wait to use the DIONS wallet and register aliases.
Will the wallet be available on windows, mac and Linux?

Outstanding.  I will hold off on questions and guesses until DIONs is out and I can play with it.  Still looking forward to this.  I have several ideas to try out with DIONs.  Looking forward to fun times this year.

A personal message from Joel.

I want to touch on an delicate area. First of all blockchain projects are highly experimental, everyone is pushing the boundaries in their own ways. For us it wasn’t easy, specially looking at the scene full of insiders and money flowing to many other projects that rightfully so emerged.

We send nothing but the best wishes to all these projects as they represent our space. We only hope that our work will be taken in good light and as the independent ones (Dark Horse) we will surely expect some fud, specially when we coded over 3k Lines of code over the last 2 years.
To put this into context one third party dev that I won’t mention said “I saw the repo, hard to see much from how the commits are done - and the DIONS file is like 3k lines”

This was kind of funny because we can see that with the emergence of Tokens on ETH some developers are not used to seeing this amount of work. Others might not grasp how we coded DIONS or might feel threatened for some reason. We are prepared for every scenario, and look forward to constructive ideas from the open source community. 

Green light
We did get green light to show the code by other devs and we are happy that they saw it as strong proposition. In the end we are laying a ground work for something even bigger. This is only the beginning of a larger plan. As I had said all along there will be ecosystems that correlate with one another in sharing features and hardening security. Our propositions will start to drop after DIONS is released and we hope our community can grow and learn along with our team to embrace all possibilities that await for our future.

We have a set of companies that are looking forward to POC of DIONS and we will inform the community as the come on board. To all our I/O Coin holders, make sure to keep your backups up to date .dat and if possible entire iocoin folder. Check in over the next weeks as we call a block and give out instructions on DIONS.

I will be making instructional videos on the wallet and the chain, to be available on DIONS release. I will be spending less time on slack as we get closer to DIONS release. We have lots of coordinating to do with code repo, meetings, marketing etc but if anyone needs me please pm and I will get back as soon as possible. Thank you everyone and have a great weekend.

Thanks all! Great times ahead

Joel

Dumb question.  Can records be expunged from the blockchain?  I have no idea how coins are "burned", but would assume it could be done to take info off the chain?

Edit: I do realize you can delete the wallet file or the key, but I meant a way to be picky and choosy and not risk all coins.

So, sell wall building pressure or drawing buys up for a sell off?

Looks like action starting with DIONs getting closer....... 


So much fun!

We are currently working in a private GitHub account.
The source code being reviewed while we finish wallet testing for upcoming release.
DIONS code is over 3500 lines of new code that need to be tested and reviewed thoroughly.

Once the review is complete we will open source!

We reached out to Bittrex as well to review and plan the DIONS upgrade.

Cheers,

Team I/O Digital

Hi,

Sorry, i havent seen your support ticket.
It is best to contact the team in slack. Register here: www.iodigital.io/slack so they can be of assistance.
Sierra is a pain in the ass at the moment to be honest. See you in Slack,

Richard

Hi all,

I hope you can help me out. I have been trying to get the wallet to run for some time now, without success.

I am running MacOS Sierra 10.12.4 and installed the QT wallet and copied the bootstrap to the right folder. After many days of syncing, it gets stuck at around 57%, then it crashes "IOCoin-Qt quit unexpectedly." When I restart, it starts synching again for a few minutes before it crashes again.

I have tried to uninstall and install again. Same result. Anyone with a similar experience?

i/o support team just closes my tickets without response, so I was hoping the community may be able to help.

Thanks!

Would also get your marketing team to work with Coinbase and anyone else out there that can sell coins via a cash account.  Maybe a gateway thru the wallet to start a Coinbase account.  Have to have a method of getting IOC coins into the hands of people that have no idea how to get them.

That is why I like the discounts for items or services so much.  A way to make it important for people to want to have IOC.

I would even go as far as to suggest that an account be set up to receive transaction fees and that those fees be used to be distributed to new users through whatever type of give away you can come up with.  Get the wallets out there and get a little IOC in them for people to get to use it a little to start.  Target cell phone users.  Big market, needs simple apps to transact.

Also, about Masternode vs staking.  Either one earns you coins for holding coins.  Both systems work well to pay investors back.  The Masternode system runs into problems with liquidity as you all stated in the video. You may well run into that also.  (Very good problem to have)

It looks like your system will reward early investors as well as any out there. 

The biggest issue is adoption.  Make it work and make it work for everyone.  Your entire vision.  Keep it going the way you are. 

The coin world is sleeping on you guys.  When the coin world figures this out, look out!


My favorite principle: Keep it Simple Stupid!

This also looks to be a great distribution system.  When you create an Alias and upload a file to it, can the wallet then have an option to duplicate the Alias automatically.  For example, I upload a book to an Alias and I want to sell or give it to someone.  When I make that sell or choice to send, have an option to replicate the Alias with a unique identifier (to differentiate from original)  to automatically make another entry ready to go for the next sale or give away.

I like the idea that if I am a vender selling items, I can take payment, send a file, have another ready to go for next sale, and, on top of that, all my customers can be contacted through the chat system. 

It looks like that if you were an active vender, the rewards for staking would probably pay for cost of creating Alias' to send items.  I would suspect cost even out fairly well at a point if you staked enough to cover transactions out.

I would diversify the marketing to
> 1 Getting crypto investors interested by marketing focussed on crypto sites blogs and social media. Perhaps let the community/ country managers handle that

> 2 Getting business in with coupons (see above). Executed by the core team.

This way resources will be efficiently spent and where needed delegated.

P.S. The video is awesome.

You need to work out some deals with businesses to get coupons or discounts for products that you can store on the blockchain and distribute to IOC wallets through it.  Make the discounts pay for what little IOC would be needed or make it worth the time for anyone to want to download the wallet to receive the financial incentive. 

I am assuming you can broadcast to entire network over the messenger when you want to.

Great work Guys Keep it up.

Regarding the Marketing.



What seems to work best is simply getting yourself out there to Events to meet the public, the above is ok as a addition to the first mentioned.  But ideally you guys need to be attending a lot more conferences.

Many coins have the most success by going to and appearing at conferences  (Stratis being a classic example) This is where you will get the attention and the attention of the right people.

All the above, "facebook, twitter, google adwrods, press release, faucet, bittrex," will have little effect.

All the best. 

Hey all,
 
We have a new update for you to share.
 
The last few weeks the team was regression testing the document upload and download section in the new HTML5 wallet and alias transfer. We are specifically working on the UI download handling (registry already worked, as well as the messaging invite and messaging itself).


 
Over the next few days we will start with the miscellaneous add-ons to the UI, enhancements Like creating a bootstrap, block switch test etc. We have also reached out to chainz (our Block explorer provider) and they will be pulling the source once we green for the new DIONS blockchain explorer.
 
After the miscellaneous feature tests and final regression tests we will also call a block when we will release. In the meantime we have cleaned up the code and we have invited third party devs  developers and soon exchanges look at the code, to check for things we could have overlooked. We are confident we will be able to call a block at some point this month. Exact block, pick date is not set and we will be awaiting the final tests and fixes. This is the Final stretch.
 
Marketing of DIONS
 
The team realizes that marketing of I/O Digital and DIONS is important for more buzz. Until now we did not actively market what we have because we wanted a finished product. We would like to add that we are a foundation and pay for all developments, and marketing as well, from our own pockets. The last few weeks we had some nice foundation donations which we really appreciate. We will use these donations for marketing purposes. We would all benefit if we can do great marketing but marketing / advertising / press have a price tag to it. So thank you for all the donations. If you would like to contribute with a donation, please go to http://iodigital.io/donate-to-the-foundation/ - you can also donate by sending a PayPal payment to [email protected]
 
The marketing of the DIONS release will be coordinated by the country managers team. We have sat together and discussed the things we wanted to do for marketing and also had input from community members. We have a wish list and would also like ideas from the community or maybe even involvement from the community to share, like and post info about DIONS everywhere you can. We as a team cannot do this alone. So marketing-wise we have full focus and are fine tuning the details. But again, depending on available budget we need to be resourceful. We already have a new iocoin website ready which will be launched at DIONS launch.

Some examples of advertising / marketing we have on our wishlist:

• Facebook ads
• Twitter ads
• Twitter TVE
• Google Adwords
• Press releases to all major press sites
• Interviews for magazines (online and offline)
• I/O Coin Faucet
• Bittrex featured coin
• Advertise on several websites

And we will do a roadshow to all of our private and business partners as well attending events that will be suitable for us to attend.

So if you have any more ideas or can help out in any way, please contact Richard in Slack or [email protected]
 
European FinTech Awards
This week we had some great news about being added to the shortlist again for becoming a European FinTech award winner in the Blockchain category. We have made it to the finals earlier so lets try to win this time with the release of DIONS. More information will be announced due time.
 
IBM
As you have read in the earlier communications we released, we have been asked by IBM to participate in their partnership program through Hyperledger. After discussing it with Mr. Antonioni we believe that there is a better route and we are now working on a presentation and a letter to be sent to IBM via Mr Antonioni.

For the new people that don't know what the DIONS project (I/O Coin upgrade) is, please check www.iodigital.io/dions
Recently we also gave a live demo of the functional new HMTL5 wallet with the features integrated. Please see below for the YouTube video:


 
What can DIONS do?
We get this question a lot. A short answer is: put data up to 1mb in the Blockchain and use the Blockchain to store this data de-centrally.

Long answer:
We provide the storage and you provide the application. Whatever you do with the data its up to you. Yes, we do have the HTML5 wallet application with document storage capabilities, a messaging application and alias system. Basically that is an application, created by us, using the I/O Digital Blockchain. So you can create or connect your own application or service if you want and benefit from all these great de-central Blockchain features.

You can create any application that wants to store data in a Blockchain, you can use the I/O Digital Blockchain.
If you want to make a Smart contract platform that acts on data from a Blockchain, you can use the I/O Digital Blockchain. If you want to enable decentralized messaging in your game or application, you can use the I/O Digital Blockchain. If you want to store legal documents and have the ability to transfer them to another party or print a proof of ownership, you can do that with the I/O Digital Blockchain. Basically, we are open for any type of business or application that wants to utilize Blockchain data technology for their applications or business process. Thats HUGE. If you are interested in talking to us about your ideas or application, please contact us at www.iodigital.io/contact-us

We look forward to call the DIONS Block any time soon while we wait for final tests and source code check by developers and exchanges.
