Topic: [888] OctoCoin Core 10.4 - page 12. (Read 39612 times)

The bootstrap.dat download links have been added.

Sounds like a plan, however I believe it would be quicker to get on Yobit to start with.

I 100% agree all you need is a website cause you guys got all the rest and you will get added to the voting list I'd love to trade OCTO there

Go for cryptopia IMO.

whats the plans to get back on a exchange or is there any plans at all

Thanks that would be greatly appreciated cause I don't know if I can wait that long for the wallet to fully sync lol

Sure, I'll put one up.

Is there a bootstrap.dat that someone has so I don't have to wait almost 2 years worth of blocks to sync my windows wallet? That would be greatly appreciated Cheers

Awesome so glad to see this community still strongly standing behind this coin Will be downloading the wallet right now and getting mining instantly! Cheers

Lets not forget that about 20 Million Octocoin were burned

Sounds interesting!! Will keep a watch on the Ann page

Will keep an eye on the coin, usually when there is a takeover who knows how it can end, anyway good luck with doing the full job myfirst

Octocoin is currently not traded at Bittrex (or anywhere else for that matter).  Bittrex once had an Octocoin market but it was closed down due to a vulnerability in the legacy wallet.

You'll have to notify them of the new wallet and see if they will now allow withdrawals.

Can i withdraw from bittrex?

May Good Luck Be With You, Octopussy

Wish you good luck with this takeover.

Octocoin is back!

Left for dead, abandoned by it's original developers, and community.  Octocoin makes a return with a shiny new Qt wallet based on the latest Litecoin 0.10.x source tree.

Behold... Octocoin Core 10.4 (v0.10.4.0).

As always, before updating please make a backup of your `wallet.dat` file.  This version should be able to open any wallet.dat files created with the legacy Octocoin client, however once opened the `wallet.dat` file can no longer be opened in the legacy client.  

Note: The pchMessageStart values were changed in v0.10.3.2.


Download Octocoin Core

http://getoctocoin.com

Yes there are Mac OS X Wallets and Windows Installers, the whole thing, done right! I'm not just some guy who's copying and pasting code.  I spent the time and effort using my skill and knowledge to build a full quality release.  The wallets below were built using the Gitian build process, the same process used for Bitcoin releases.

• Windows 64 bit - 32 bit
• Windows (zip) 64 bit - 32 bit
• Linux (tgz) 64 bit - 32 bit
• Mac OS X dmg - tar.gz
• FreeBSD (package) 10.x 64 bit - 9.x 64 bit

Source code and release info: https://github.com/octocoin-project/octocoin/releases/tag/v0.10.4.0

If you are unable to connect to any peers please open the debug window go into the console tab, type in the following command and press enter.


After a few minutes your client should start connecting to peers.

Blockchain Bootstrap

It's also possible to accelerate the initial blockchain download process by using a boostrap.dat file.  Download, extract and place the bootstrap.dat file in the AppData/Roaming/Octocoin or ~/.octocoin folder.

Known issues

It's very much possible that the words Bitcoin and Litecoin may still appear in the UI, logs, or console. If you happen to come across one of this mistakes please file an issue at Github.

Due to Octocoin's fluctuations in difficulty it's possible that new blocks may not be generated for more than 24 hours. As a result your clients may get stuck on "Octocoin is downloading blocks..." on startup. If your client is stuck in this state you won't be able to use the RPC mining functions even though you actually have the latest block. To work around it, first make sure you upgrade to Octocoin Core version 10.4, then pass the command line parameter:


Where '' is the value (in seconds) greater than 24 hours.  So you may use something like:

Code:

-maxtipage=432000

 

To specify 5 days (increase as needed).

You can also add that to your configuration file if needed:

Code:

maxtipage=432000
