Nice, catchy tune.

Did you make that?

If you can convince them to pay it out you can have the 3000+ that FusionHash owe me 

Well... Dougcoin on MintPal felt our wrath! Pawncoin is next!




Another one bites the dust!

Once everybody is updated to the new source, your transaction will likely be pushed through. If it isn't, FusionHash will make sure you are taken care of. I have personally asked them specifically about your issue and, with your transaction being stuck in their wallet, they would have to briefly take the pool offline to completely remove it - they would prefer to wait until updating to the new client since they will have to briefly go offline for that anyway. Since launch, FusionHash has overpaid 150,000+ OctoCoins - we have studied the blockchain and concluded this is accurate. I understand the frustration of waiting around - your issue should be resolved soon.

Damn, makes me wish I had pulled from BTC cold storage instead of dropping 50k Octo to pay the electric ...lol

New wallet looks slick!!!!

The delay on the new client is due to us having to strip out a number of custom features that were not ready for production. As the features are quite innovative, we did not want to simply comment them out in the source and give away too much information and/or allow the features to be "borrowed" before we even launch them. We ended up creating a completely separate branch and things are rolling along.

The fork will replace the bonus blocks with steady 188 coin blocks throughout the remainder of the bonus phase. Also, a new difficulty formula will kick in that adjusts every block to help smooth out the network. The fork begins at block 75,888 - that means we need to get everybody updated before the weekend is over. It isn't as much notice as we'd like but we felt it was important enough that it needed to be fast-tracked. The new source will be put up on GitHub tomorrow and we will begin reaching out to all of the pool operators and exchanges that will need to update their clients before block 75,888.

For those of you on Windows that want to get a jump on things, here is the download for the new 32-bit Windows-QT client:

OctoCoin 1.8 w/ 75888 fork [Windows-QT]

This is complete with the fork that kicks in at block 75,888 and will run fine until then as well. It is built on top of the upcoming Bitcoin 0.9.2 source. Once the new OctoCoin source is public, we will follow with the 64-bit Windows-QT and Mac wallets. We will release the windows installers later - for now, we're keeping it simple.

By EOD, all nodes will be updated and ready for the fork. Will update the main post and provide updates throughout the day.

Still love pizza, but can't really cope with certain kinds, like Little Caesar's.. After making 30-40 gallons of sauce every day, it gets really old.. Just thinking about their sauce gives me heartburn. Give me stuff to make homemade pizza, though, and it's on!

Getting some of the final touches done on the Octo casino, but I'm going to hit the hay early tonight. Tomorrow It's getting switched on, so be ready to play!

I was wanting to get it finished today but ended up doing a bunch of housework, ate a bunch of crap with habanero Tabasco sauce and a couple of beers and I'm not feeling so hot right now, so watching some Breaking Bad and going to sleep..

The dinging sound from the new version of MPOS is annoying the living crap out of me. Do you guys hear it too?

EDIT: Yes, tomorrow IS the day for the Octo casino launch. The grid game is coming down, though, doesn't look like any users have unclaimed balances but if you do, please withdraw! Tomorrow we go live and we still need a name! Remember, you can invest in the game as well as bet. My body is ready.

Yes indeed, thanks for the update.  I feel a bit shitty for losing patience lately now.  I'm probably just venting my frustration with FusionHash and their lack of support out on the wrong target.

Actually one of the things I like about you guys which made me sit up and take notice of Octocoin is that you always come across as extremely professional.  Updates (when they come) are always very considered and concise and you always keep your cool and never engage in flame wars or troll feeding. It's ironic that these exact qualities are what make you seem aloof sometimes.  I'm afraid I'm a contradictory fellow.
