Topic: [ANN] [888] [SCRYPT] OctoCoin ◦ The Power of Eight ◦ Don't Blink - page 101. (Read 297708 times)

I do ship to Canada, did you already place an order?

Don't forget, devs said that two of the secret apps might be cloud based and require the liquidity of larger exchanges.

They also talked like one of the first 2 surprises was the stealth addresses for anonymous transactions with 888.

Original rumors back in March at launch were a crowd funding app and something related to gaming/gambling (hence the 8 as it's good luck in China).

My official guess and hope is that one of the apps is a cloud based or application based payment processor that accepts BTC and 888. Fingers crossed.

Quick recap of the OctoDev's latest announcements: They are targeting three projects to be released by the end of August (the end of their 3rd quarter). Said probably would only get two done, but three would be like icing on the cake.

One of these projects is a bank type structure where you can deposit OctoCoin and earn interest. ATM debit card, etc. They said this would probably be the third project completed.

The other two projects remain "shrouded in secrecy" for now.

Releasing a new Reddit tip bot and an (optional) wallet update, which may have some type of (beta) stealth address feature.

This OctoDev update is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=504265.2163

The OctoDevs are also planning an anniversary party for next March in Vegas. We are all invited. No firm details, yet, but sounds like fun to me!

Some other stuff there about the updated wallet release time-frame and the Reddit tip-bot: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=504265.2207

Bonus blocks have ended and we are in the midst of a push to get listed at Mintpal. There are some graphics for OctCoin here: http://garycalvert.com/octo/ and a video for the "Get Out the Vote" campaign here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpXy7ZWbug

If you are on Twitter, tweet the video link to your followers and @Mintpal and @OctoCoin. You could also use the hashtag #vote888mintpal.

Interest in the coin is up and so is the price. Several new faces have shown up the past couple weeks, joining our merry little band of OctoWorshipers.

That's all I can think of at the moment. If anyone else can think of something to add; jump in!

Whats up octocoiners It is fun to see my first coin I mined is starting to gain some volume. Ever since cryptorush screwed us, it has been hard to get hold of octocoins, but in some way for the faithful miners and believers  it was a good thing. Is there any news I missed out on the past few weeks ? Been working to much, haven't had the time to read the forums.
 

that is correct. they may think you meant that the coin may hardfork instead of the month of May. lol.

Devs...

It might be an idea to change the title of this thread again...

It could be interpreted as "Don't Blink, may hard fork" for anybody who doesn't know the history and that the hard fork has passed without incident.  This may cause some confusion / uncertainty as to the future of Octo.

 

megaman, it's good to see others wanting to push the mintpal campaign forward, but i'm not too worried. right now it's all true believers who are holding, a new exchange probably won't change that much. i think that if we can just keep ourselves in the top 15 until the services are ready, then the people who are bankrolling this coin can buy up the rest of the votes required, then we can have a focused launch. however that might actually be too much too fast, if there's an artificial pump, often it coincides with a big correction. people are less likely to jump in after it's already crashed from a big peak. look at blackcoin, it was an unintended pump, people were real excited, then after the correction it never gained the same traction.

i think that the slow steady growth scenario is better, maybe accentuated with occational spurts of good news and service releases. i'm at least confident that the team knows their schedule, and have the timing for all of these events worked out, at least in general terms, not fixed dates.

1) whoever has that obscenely high octo sell order on bittrex, can you pull it please? it skews badly if you look at the data. shows that there's 75% BTC sell orders to 25% buy orders, this doesn't look good. also, if you click on the chart, it's entirely red, you can't even see a single buy order (green) cause they're blocked by this ridiculous sell order. i know we're all excited for 1 888 = $1,000 but let's try and get a grip.

2) coinmine.pw exploits coins when they can using code which looks for bonus blocks. this is why we had to hardfork, was specifically because of this pool. this is bad for the whole crypto scene, and only hurts coins. i'll keep my hashes at one of the many legit, reputable pools on the first post of this thread. i try not to reward people/products/services who purposefully take advantage of others, if only for pragmatic reasons, in that i want crypto to succeed as a whole. pools like this do not help. I'd recommend fedaykin's incredibly low 0.2% fee or fusionhash's incredible <100% block find rate.

3) tell me you can ship jerky to canada, america just does jerky right, i'm already salivating.

Excited about everything including the jerky! I will likely be placing an order this evening. I was brainstorming last night and I think we need to push the "get out the vote" campaign a bit harder. I know Bittrex is a serviceable exchange but if the devs have plans for MintPal we should get this thing up on MintPal. This seems to be the first coin I've ever seen that isn't aggressively pushing to get on every possible exchange and that's probably a good thing but it would be nice to have a place we could go buy Octos without driving up the price so quickly. If I want to place a bitcoin order it never gets filled because there aren't enough people selling now that the multipools have been cut out. Can't believe I'm saying it but I miss having them there to keep a steady flow of cheap coins coming in. Now the price just rises higher and higher. I'm not saying MintPal is the solution but at least we will have volume and a better idea of the true market value. I will do my part but perhaps more Reddit activity, Twitter and whatnot. We need the devs to get that new tipbot online because fatguy was going to town on that thing. We have a great coin with great devs and a great community but we're only trading at one real exchange even after 3 1/2 months. It's pretty unheard of. The voting system has ruined altcoin exchanges because it encourages scammy coins. The exchanges no longer use their discretion when choosing coins so the garbage rises to the top of the list and gets added while good coins like Monocle and OctoCoin take forever. We're doing great on the votes but we're only halfway there. It seems crazy to buy votes when we all know it will be listed eventually. It wouldn't make financial sense to buy votes at the current price. Basically 1 vote costs 60 cents! So voting 10 times per day is like a $6 contribution! I love the "Vote 888" signs and banners and stuff. Even if it isn't a huge priority for the devs I think we need to get this thing on MintPal soon. More exposure and also there are people that want to sell without crashing the price I'm sure too. Power bills don't stop coming in! There is a ton of hash that has been put into OctoCoin. Since OctoCoin launched I don't think any other coin has had this much total hash thrown into it. Anybody have some good ideas on where to start?

i like it,nice work

Looks like there were some updates running on the server backend and it caused the displayed data to be skewed or it could have been a caching problem.

Just Broke the 1000 on Bitrex

On another note, I saw some weirdness on Coinmine.pw last night. Anyone got any thoughts?

Yeah, I just found my first octo block 

Paleo all the way, studying for my Personal Trainer and just switched my college Major to Dietetics.

I will have to look into Germany's meat import laws. If your gov is ok with it, I would enjoy helping cure your jerky cravings 

Nice! Maybe i'll get some in the future.
Are you shipping to germany? 

sweet and you take Octo i'll have to get me some of that.
