if you guys want to compare the two projects together, please go ahead and open your own thread in discussion (altcoins). This ANN as I am sure you already know, is for I/Ocoin and its community. I personally don't give a flying fuck about eth, never have and never will so I don't understand why we have to read this bullshit again and again.
@Smoofzilla
you are in slack most of the time so i don't understand why you didn't carry on asking your questions there like you have been doing for the last week or so?
Do us all a favour, work on that afrikaans translation and I am sure that you will pick up a lot of useful information.
there is also something called Uncle Google*, thats how most of us got to learn about cryptocurrency/blockchain/sidechain and the rest of it.
Keep staking and spare a moment for a group of
self-financed individuals who are working hard for this community, a little thank you every now and then wouldn't do anyone any harm.
ps
I am not a programmer neither, i had to learn the
hard way

Just a quick message to the community. When the price of IOC goes down, we certainly get concerned because it destroys the market cap, which makes it harder for us to get recognition from the market. I say this for the people that constantly ask about funding, that certainly makes it even harder. With all this said, many important companies know of our current development, have vague ideas of our future development and have shown quite interest in our development. As richard has said we are in current talks with a few prominent companies and we have chosen to keep this information confidential, as per their request. Some other companies that have contacted us are in the sidelines, waiting to see a fruition of certain developments. With this said, we currently have the technology, and we know that we can handle more transactions per minute and are just as secure blockchain as Bitcoin. All this we are following it up with Dions and then a multi Blockchain ecosystem. We currently have 64% of our coins staking, that's 10M coins being held in wallets. 6M are in the wild, markets or cold storage. Of these coins, If traders go into our markets and dump 100k, 200k, of the 6M in the wild, or sell high and buy low, that's enough to keep us in this region for some time to come. So there is nothing we can do as a Dev team about the markets. We only work hard, pay from our own pockets and lose sleep over development. When the price has climbed, we get the cheers, when it comes down, we have people coursing at us and thinking the worst about the coin and our team. This just because of people dumping at will for quick profit. One more time I say this,
if people want to compare our fair launch to ICO projects then please have at it. There is a clear difference from our team and other teams. I personally have my reservations as to the initial foundations of many crypto projects, their true existence and possibility of long term success. It doesn't face me or our team whatever smoke and mirrors the rest are throwing out there for the shark's feeding frenzy. In the end all we can do is stay positive and continue on our current path.
Soon we will release DIONS and our focus is to make it great. We are not and I repeat not worrying about ETH or wtv other project is out there but the stability of our blockchain and having a successful DIONS launc. This is our current focus, once we have successfully accomplish this task, we can as a community speak about chameleon. Traders will be traders and will seek information to position themselves and can care less about our families or even more true development. Some of this same people have dumped the coin at 500 sats, then at 2k sats, then at 5k sats, then now at 29k and down to 15k, and to be quite honest, it doesn't matter, because the floor slowly keeps moving up and it will continue playing like this until our technology is regarded by the populations, companies and entities that we will cater too. Many as I said before have been contacting us, everyday, and at any moment, they could reach out to seal the future use of the I/O Digital blockchain. Any of these entities using our blockchain could have positive effects on the markets, but that's to be determined. So at this point (Pennie level) is irrelevant as long as we hold good volume and yes if we could sustain a good market cap, then it would help the community morale and overall value greatly, but we cant't fight off traders, whales or market makers that want to make a quick profit.
I have personally spent as much as I have paying our team and I work countless hours to make sure we have a successful project. The low of all this, is the fact that we get certain people that come in to the Ann, to ask very incoherent questions, fud, or even start some kind of bogus comparison with some other projects, that may have a completely different direction than the one we are having and this over time becomes quite annoying and distracting. So after 20 hour days of work for almost 2 years I see how people can quickly become very irrational. I respectfully say to our community that at this time we have to be careful as to the information that we give out, or our technology and ideas on how we go about doing our coding, could be copied and further hurting our long term holders.
Our Main Goal is Development, Ease of Use and a complete Eco System.
Thanks everyone
