Dimecoin Network Progress Update

Cryptopia

As many of you are already aware, Cryptopia has started to come back online and currently has their exchange in read-only mode. Dimecoin (DIME) is lucky and appears to have been unscathed from the attack. Regardless, it is encouraged to log in and check your balances.As of last week, communication has re-opened between the Dimecoin Team and Cryptopia. Cryptopia was scheduled to update our wallets to v1.10.01 when the attack occurred. Subsequently, our wallets never received the upgrade before they shut down services. They are aware an update is needed to our wallets and have ensured us they will update as soon as they possibly can. At this time there are no updates as to when trading will resume.Please follow along with Cryptopia’s Twitter page to stay up to date with the latest news regarding their exchange. Here is a link to the official twitter page : https://twitter.com/Cryptopia_NZ. Beware there are a lot of fake accounts currently circulating and posing as Cryptopia.As always, we encourage everyone to store their Dimecoin on a personal wallet. It appears Dimecoin was lucky this time, however, let this be a lesson as to why it is not smart to store your coins on an exchange for extended periods.

Masternodes/Proof of Stake(POS) Integration

Our team is working extremely hard to complete integration before our intended goal for the end of Q1. At this time, it appears like integration may be delayed slightly and run into the beginning of Q2. Even though we anticipated we would not have any delays, resulting from the time lost in development, while dealing with the 51% attack, we have been unable to make up for the lost time entirely. That said, integration should not be delayed much past the end of Q1. We will keep you informed as development continues.Initially, we anticipated the introduction of the staking portion of our hybrid POW-POS blockchain consensus algorithm to be first, followed by the implementation of Masternodes. We can definitively say that the introduction of Masternodes will come first with implementation of staking at a later date.Here is some technical information regarding Masternodes, breakdown of block rewards, and the yearly inflation rate.

Collateral: The collateral required to host a Masternode will be 1 billion (1,000,000,000) Dimecoin(DIME).
Block Reward Breakdown: Each block reward will be 16,000 Dimecoin and split 45/45/10. 45% will go to Masternodes, 45% to POW-POS and 10% will be a fee to help facilitate maintenance and future developments of the project.
Inflation Rate: The first year inflation rate will be 1.45%. The block reward will be set to reduce by 8% every year after.

iOS Wallet

Our iOS development team is working diligently to fix the bugs that failed to present themselves while in beta. In hindsight, the wallet should have remained in beta for a more extended period. We do apologize for any inconvenience but can ensure you that we are working on getting the wallet updated as soon as possible.
