🚀 In the period before the release, all the app features will be available, including the check-in feature to start a mining session!

⏳ On 04 April, we will reset everyone's balances to default!

👫 Building a solid team in this period means you will enjoy a higher earning rate from the first minute of the official launch!

All the best,

Hi ☃️ Snowmen,

⏰ We expect tomorrow to pre-release our ice app on Android.

⏳ For iOS, we are still waiting on @Apple to approve our app. If, for some reason, Apple will not approve the app in time for 4th April, iOS users will be able to use a mobile web light version.

All the best,
ice Team

Hi ☃️ Snowmen,

🌟We are happy to announce that our app is live on Play Store.

📲 To download our app visit https://ice.io/@iceNetwork

💁‍♀️ Use "iceNetwork" as the invitation code when you sign-up. This is a system-generated account, and you will not receive any bonus from it or vice versa. The invitation code will be removed prior to the official launch on the 4th of April.

All the best,
ice Team

📣 Our team has identified some problems with our Tarantool database due to high traffic and we are working to resolve it.

📱 App will not work properly until this has been resolved.

⏳ We will update everyone once everything is back to normal.

🙏 Thank you for understanding

🌟 UPDATE

1️⃣ APK is now available to be downloaded from your invitation link.
Example: https://ice.io/@yourInvitationCode

2️⃣ Some app features are disabled while our team is optimizing the database.
- on the stats page, the balance data is not showing the correct data.
- when you search for a user or yourselves on the top user's screen, the mined ice will show 0.00 temporarily.
- on the home screen, the referral card with the history by day it's currently disabled and will show no data.
- the GLOBAL RANK from the home screen is not showing your true rank.

3️⃣ Our team was not prepared for the app to have that many users in this pre-release version.
We are very happy to see that people are enjoying the ice app, and the community is growing with every minute.

4️⃣ In the last days before the official release on the 4th of April, we will be making some changes within some parts of our app that affects performance. While we resolve all these issues, please expect certain features not to work.

5️⃣ For the official release, our team will submit the last improved mobile app, which contains some great new features and a nice walkthrough for new users. The app is being translated into 50 languages.

✨ We thank you, everyone, for this lovely journey and for being part of this awesome community.

📚 Our team invites you to read all our knowledge base & faq content from the website. This will help with the adoption as it's essential, for you, as one of the first ☃️ Snowman, to understand the project features and goals while building your team.

📹 On each knowledge base section, our team has prepared a short video where some of the platform features are being explained.

Thank you,
ice Team

Hi ☃️ Snowmen,

🐞 Over the past few days, we have struggled to resolve the issues with the Tarantool database but without any luck. We ended up with the database eating an enormous amount of RAM and eventually going to 100% usage.

‼️ We tried to get paid support from Tarantool, but because of the current war situation, it’s impossible for us to pay them via wire as they are located in Russia, and banks are not allowing any transfers anymore.
When we started working on the project one year ago, there was no war situation, and we could not predict this.

🙌 We took the decision today to switch to Postgres + Redis based on our team’s experience in building large scalable applications with this stack.

👉 From our point of view, the app would be stable after these changes, and we are doing our best to try and have it ready before April 4th.
We will keep you updated in case something changes and the app will not be ready.

Thank you for your understanding and support,
ice Team

Hi ☃️ Snowmen,

🚀 We're excited to share that we've made significant progress with our new infrastructure using Postgres! Our team has been working tirelessly to ensure a smooth transition, and we're now in the final stages of testing.

🛠️ To facilitate these tests, our system will be down for a short period today. If everything goes well, we'll be on track for our release tomorrow at 4:04 AM GMT+4.

🔄 We'll continue to keep you informed on any developments or adjustments to the schedule. Your patience and understanding throughout this process have been invaluable, and we can't wait to share the enhanced, stable version of our app with you!

Thank you for your great support and understanding,
ice Team

Hi ☃️ Snowmen,

🌟 First, we'd like to thank you for your incredible support and understanding throughout this process. Our team has made significant progress in addressing the challenges with the new infrastructure, and we're closer than ever to achieving our goal.

🔧 However, we need a bit more time to fine-tune the remaining issues and ensure the stability of the system. We're working tirelessly to deliver the high-quality and reliable product that you deserve, and we appreciate your continued patience.

📢 In the coming days, we'll keep you updated on our progress and any important developments. Your understanding and support during this time mean the world to us, and we're confident that the final outcome will be worth the wait.

Grateful for your unwavering support,
ice Team

Hi ☃️ Snowmen,

📢 We're excited to provide you with an update on our latest developments as our team has been working tirelessly to resolve issues and introduce new features!

1️⃣ Next week, we're set to begin internal testing on all micro-services, incorporating the Postgres database. We'll assess the test results and inform the community about our next steps by the end of the week.

2️⃣ We've completed the web light version for iOS users, which will be released once back-end bugs are fixed. Apple has expedited our app submission review, and we hope for approval in the coming weeks. Regardless of Apple's timeline, the web light version will be available for iOS users.

3️⃣ For our users in China, we've developed a new app version that addresses account creation and login issues caused by the Great Firewall.

4️⃣ We've made numerous improvements and bug fixes to the mobile app, which will be launched once back-end issues are resolved.

5️⃣ We've initiated the Huawei submission process and await confirmation of our company details before preparing the app for their store.

🔬 Following the release of these fixes and updates, we'll conduct 1-2 weeks of beta-testing to ensure optimal performance. Once testing is complete, we'll announce a new release date for the community.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,
ice Team

Hi ☃️ Snowmen,

📽️ Check out this week's community update video.

✨A big thanks to our supportive community for being with us every step of the way!

All the best,
ice Team

Hi ☃️ Snowman,

🔨 Our team has significantly changed Eskimo, Freezer, Husky & Santa micro-services to scale easily to a user base of 500M+ users.

🐞 The next step is for our team to merge the current PRs in the master and start testing it properly in our staging env.

👉 Unlike other "tap-to-mine" projects, our code has been fully opened source from day one which means that the code has to be checked carefully for any possible bugs/exploits.

⏳ This requires more time for our team to make sure that everything is alright.

🧑‍💻 For those who question the legitimacy of the ice project, please think about the following:

1️⃣ Platform is entirely free
2️⃣ No ads
3️⃣ Fully open-source & transparent
4️⃣ Decentralized Autonomous Organization

🕰️ As all this being said, our team will get back to the community with another update at the end of this (May) month.

🙏 Please be patient while our team is working, and don't spread negativity, as this won't help us.

✅ Your Success is our Success!

All the best,
ice Team
