The latest I/O Digital official news View this email in your browser I/O Digital official newsletter BLOCK CALL Yes, the time has finally arrived. After more than two years of development, many hours of testing, hitting massive brick walls on a regular basis, creating something that has not been done before and exceeding our initial project goals by far, we have almost started the countdown to DIONS go-live phase. The countdown will start somewhere in the next days.



Project DIONS will give unprecedented Blockchain features to companies and individuals to use. We are proud. Proud of everything we as a team and community have achieved. We are setting new standards in Blockchain and let other multi million projects see that without a massive budget great things can be accomplished. Please check iocoin.io for the countdown. When the countdown is finished we start a ~2 week period to get everybody upgraded. After these two weeks (roughly) the called block will pass and DIONS is activated on the IOC Blockchain.



Get prepared and be informed!

In preparation to the DIONS upgrade, I/O Coins on Bittrex are considered safe if you are holding them there during the upgrade. Bittrex will update their IOC wallet as well. The market will be offline during the upgrade. Its at Bittrex discretion to upgrade whenever they see fit. We work in close contact with them. We will provide users with instructions on how to upgrade and download new wallets. Follow our Slack channel, Facebook page and Telegram to receive support and instructions when the time comes.

Are you ready? What is DIONS again? We are exited to share with you that I/O Digital has won the public voting of the European FinTech Awards 2017 in the Blockchain category. We are invited to go to Brussels Sept 27th and pitch our Blockchain solution to a professional jury and attend the conference and meet FinTech innovators. A good opportunity for us to showcase I/O Digital. Thank you for your votes! Blockchain Technology will do (part of) the marketing Since we started in 2014 without any ICO or pre-mine we have seen a massive change in Blockchain development approach. Especially the last 6 months. The current ICO spree is at its top and on a daily basis new projects think of how to use a token in their project to get the ICO money. Investing is mostly based on white papers instead of proven technology / a working product. The recent China ban on ICO's was just a matter of time.



I/O Digital is proud with the fair launch of I/O Coin and continued self-funded development since 2014. This was a conscious and well thought out approach for us. We wanted a fair and good distributed token. Yes, we don't have millions to spend on marketing like mostly day traders ask us to do. But, we believe that actually delivering great Blockchain technology, having a fair launch, very good distribution, a public development team, Foundation structure backing the project and investing into the technology ourselves is very valuable for the project, its users and investors. Our setup / approach is unique in the blockchain scene. That is the best marketing a project can have. No shortcuts, full grip on development and full focus on security.

When the dust settles

When the ICO dust settles the proven IOC Blockchain technology will be even more visible than ever. People will value good Blockchain technology more and I/O Digital will show that they delivered something amazing. "where did they come from".



Our approach, professionalism and superb technology is widely acknowledged by many companies involved in Blockchain like Stokens VC and Oracle investments. An A-ranked Bitcoin private broker and advisory firm that wants to start advising and buying in the Altcoin market for their clients, has IOC on top of their wish list to integrate into their systems (working on that). These meetings confirm our strategy is solid and we keep continuing to do what we do and how we do it.



When DIONS is launched we will start a marketing campaign around DIONS and the features.

We thank you for your involvement into this project and positive feedback! Proof of Stake CiPher We developed a lot more than initial referenced to in our DIONS white paper, but we also added some more upgrades to the PoS model and core Blockchain features. Introducing PoS CiPher. We implemented BIP65 due to interests from curators of a decentralized exchange(s).

We removed Coinage to allow for stake completion to happen. Thus, it wouldn’t matter if it was old or new coin staking in the wallet.

Split Change optimization; which will allow for the prevention of any split occurring due to bogged down nodes in the network and large amount of address creation.

Updates on encryption level to facilitate encrypted channels and atomic keys From 2Mb to 4Mb block size in DIONS Initially we decided to go with 2Mb block sizes. We have been testing different block sizes in our test laboratory and decided to scale up our block size from 2Mb to 4Mb. This is split 50/50 between file storage capacity and the main IOC Blockchain core features. We tested this thoroughly and even have the opportunity to scale up in the future if this is needed. Community update Recently we gave a live update to our community about the developments.

We show the working wallet with messaging and document storage Preparing for Chameleon We are also preparing to start the Chameleon whitepaper and development after the DIONS upgrade is released. To have a good start we are redesigning and professionalizing the Chameleon "brand". Below the new logo.



Chameleon will create interoperability between Blockchains and applications. Facilitating governance & smart contracts with a hybrid Blockchain solution.
