didnt we agree on waiting??
This will also give you sometime to write up a business plan as to what you need the money for and how are you going to spend, just a formal document outlying everything for the potential investors of the IPO
Can't you give us a week or two's notice of the IPO date? Since we now know what options you accept, it will give us time to transfer funds into the respective coins.
Almost ready. IPO will be within 48 hours of the genesis block. IPO will accept Bitcoin and Dogecoin.
Todo:
1. Last minute refactor and cleanup.
2. Launch!
Update
----------
1. Skycoin developers are exhausted
2. We need developers for https://github.com/skycoin/darknet
Developer Positions: Many Coins, Much Riches
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. We need a golang wrapper around ifconfig for controlling wifi dongles and connecting/disconnecting. Should scan for wifi connections, return list. Should have function for connecting and disconnecting to network. Should return information about signal strength and speed. Bonus points if it supports adhoc connections.
2. We need golang ChaCha20 wrapper
3. We need library that connects to peers using sykcoin/gnet (connection pool). Each peer has list of hashes and hashes are ordered. Each hash corresponds to data. Each peer should should poll and download any new hash and from peers, that it doesnt have.
- given an ordered list of 100,000 things, poll peers, figure out if they have something you dont have, get the things you dont have
We have list of
type Entry struct {
Seq uint64
Hash [32]byte
Data []byte
}
The list is ordered by Seq. Poll peers and efficiently determine what they have that you dont.
4. Fifty other things

How did not
waiting for it. 
Interested!
Already there are too many coins on the market, is really difficult to choose
There are two options.
1. We set a date and the IPO occurs on that date, whether coin is ready or not.
2. We wait until coin is ready (keeps getting pushed back) and announce IPO after its ready.
The coin launch and IPO will definitely occur before Obelisk is implemented, which may take through July.
Does Febuary 24th, noon GMT time for IPO sound good? Is there a better day or time, or should the IPO wait?

So you have chosen the 2nd variant, right?
..when the coin's ready
I will be interested in your products. Appropriate opportunities will buy some of the
Keep watching
+1
Keep watching
I would love to test it!
Intrested in beta test pls add me

Mr.Skycoin, just wanted to confirm, are you going to delay the IPO as others have wanted? Please do so
please answer this!
please answer this!
Good luck skycoin. Just want to be a part of you!
Anyone get the Skycoin running?
I get following msg when running ./run.sh -h
New to "GO" too

I get the same error message as well.
........ Until we see use causes for scripting languages on the blockchain, we plan to support scripting as an off-block chain extension.
Can you explain what scripting as an off-block chain extension means?
scam SKY? better mine SUN!
New Information about the Skycoin Meshnet Project:
https://github.com/skycoin/darknet
Development Update:
Skycoin now has bullet proof security.
- There are very strict rules in place for transaction propagation and signature verification.
- Bitcoin is only able to fix 6 of the 8 transaction malleability problems. Skycoin has 0 transaction malleability and 0 signature malleability bugs.
- Most of the code base is unit tested. There are three lines of tests for every line of code.
- we fixed bug in the struct encoder and the change broke compatibility with packets from earlier versions.
- the Skycoin connection pool library now has non-blocking writes. faster block propagation
The coin is almost done and the project is moving into the next phase.
New Anti Spam Mechanisms:
Skycoin has coins and has coin hours. You get 1 coin hour for holding 1 coin for one hour. Transaction fees are paid in coinhours, not in coins. When you spend an output, you must spend 50% of the coin hours. Therefore spamming transactions depletes your coin hour balance exponentially quickly. If there are 100 coinhours in the inputs and only 40 coin hours created in the outputs, then the "fee" is 60 coin hours. The number of coins in the output must equal the number of coins in the input. This is hardcoded.
Transaction priority is / . If the priority is too low, the transaction will not be propagated and it will not be included in blocks. This will dramatically cut down on small transaction spam and keeps the blockchain small.
Each Skycoin is 1 million droplets. Each coin is divisible to six decimal places. At launch, output balances must be multiples of 1 million droplets (a whole coin). This is to prevent transaction spam. As the price goes up, this will be reduced to 100,000 droplets. We want to keep the minimum output size to 0.25 Euros Skycoin does not have 0.000000000005 dollar transactions.
All very small "microtransactions" must be executed as off blockchain transactions. Microtransactions are instant and they are free and they dont pollute the block chain with spam.
Skycoin Official Position on Scripting Languages on the Blockchain:
We are watching Ethereum closely. If powerful transaction scripting language support becomes something that is used widely, we will implement the best scripting language into Skycoin. Until the transaction malleability issues are resolved and until we see widespread usage of scripting, Skycoin transactions will remain simple. A later version may include multisig transactions if they do not introduce transaction malleability into Skycoin.
So far, most users are only using "send" and there has not been widespread usage of Bitcoin's scripting capacity. Scripting has however created numerous security, denial of service attacks and caused substantial increases in the size of the Blockchain . Until we see use causes for scripting languages on the blockchain, we plan to support scripting as an off-block chain extension.
