Initial coins offer (ICO)

We expected that not everyone would own a rig or was available to participate in the launch, so we decided to give a chance to invest in the project at a very early stage and at very low price.
Our ICO was hosted by Bittrex and Escrowed by Bittrex-Bill.
We sold 1200000 coins on the ICO at 0.00008 BTC per ICB. 19.2% of the total Icebergcoin supply was sold.

Fair Distribution

The Fair distribution phase was performed succesfully, our team sent 30 free coins to each partipant, manually reviewing and discarding fraudulent and repeated accounts. Now the promotion is over. If you didn't received your share but you acomplished the requirements, please contact with us. Thank you and excuse any inconvenience.
The team is now deciding what to do with the rest of the premine… ¿Do you have any proposal? Then, contact us!

❄︎ HISTORICAL PROOF-OF-WORK INFORMATION
ASIC and multipool resistant
Icebergcoin is incorporating the latest and more efficient algorithm: NIST5. An ultrasecure algo that isn’t minable by ASICs or FPGAs. That gives miners high advantages, that does not exist in the other algorithms as Sha-256, Scrypt, X11, X13, X15. Also as this is one of the latest algo, there are not multipools yet dumping it.

NIST5 temperatures and consumption comparison

IcebergCoin implements the latest and the most efficient mining algorithm: NIST5, which is a mix of BLAKE - Grøstl - JH - Keccak - Skein.
This algorithm, gives the lowest temperatures, and the lowest consumption in your rig, you will feel like you are in the north pole!
NIST5 was introduced by Talkcoin.  NIST5 chains the 5 final candidates for the National Institute of Science and Technology's SHA-3 hash competition, which were all selected for their performance & security.  For more information on the NIST competition see here: http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2012/NIST.IR.7896.pdf

Block reward structure
Due to ICO requirements,we had to made some changes in block structure, but the amount of total coins will be the same as announced.
The premine block was sent to Bittrex, and then 5000 blocks were mined with 0 reward until the launch date. This took place during the ICO phase to keep the blockchain working at regular time (As Bittrex forced us to do).

When the ICO was finished, we launched the coin to the public, and the original structure performed as expected:

Block 1: ICO + Bounties + Fair distribution reserves
Blocks 2-5000: 0 reward
Blocks 5001-5101: 10 reward
Blocks 5102-15098: 500 reward
Block 15099: 0 reward (end POW)

So final number of coins in POW phase will be 4.4 million ICB
