Topic: [ANN] [888] [SCRYPT] OctoCoin ◦ The Power of Eight ◦ Don't Blink - page 125. (Read 297708 times)

Sorry if I've sounded kind of manic in my posts the last couple of weeks.. I have been trying to hide it, but I've been having an extreme mental breakdown. Dunno why I'm telling you this, just wanted to tell someone. I don't have any rl friends.

Anyway, every day I've got all these damn grand plans, stuff I HAVE to get done, and ideas I want to work on after business is taken care of. Can't seem to get anything accomplished. It's so frustrating. I try to conduct myself around here as professionally as possible, though in real life I'm probably about as coarse as one can get, f this, f that. The things that have been happening over the last few years and that came to a boiling point and exploded christmas day have been gnawing on my sanity in an extreme manner, and I've just kinda been avoiding the issue by sitting here at my desk all the time hacking away, and trying to avoid my old ways and returning to heavy alcohol and drug consumption to stay sane. Just pretending there was never a problem and pretending to be happy and cheerful these last few months is making things way worse, I'm miserable inside, really want to die, and just hate planet earth in general, excluding you guys. But, I'll be here nonetheless, because I have an obligation to provide excellent service and support, and I really do appreciate everything all of you have done for me, every hash pointed to my pools, and the generous donations and will always do my best to do right by you guys.

Can't lie, though, my issues have been kicking the crap out of me in the motivation department, just can't get anything done, though at this point I've delivered more than the Octo devs have :b j/k
But all joking aside, I am struggling, to the point that I have to force myself to stay in my room and not go out and "do things", but I promise, I won't off myself, lol. Jeez, I'm debating not even posting this, I'm not trying to attention whore or anything, but I seriously have no friends and no outlet. If I were suddenly banned from the internet, I would wither and die of boredom and loneliness.

I've got a few obligations to attend to but high on the list is getting octo hi/lo working and ready for you guys to play and invest, but I need a NAME for it. The test case was for denarius, just simply named denariuschance, and that sucks. Need a cool name, so a 1000 888 bounty for the best name for the game! Remember, it's a high/lo and investment game. It's ready for deployment, but there's still upcoming additions to it when the dev gets back from vacation. So yeah, 1000 888 for the best name, we'll do it all democratic like, you guys suggest names and we pick a winner by general consensus.

tl;dr edric is going completely nuts but is still working on stuff so name my hi/lo 888 casino for me and win 1000 888 and a special place in octo history, and my heart. Anyone got a prozac?

Keep voting guys! I look at it like this... yeah there are some things that could be better and we could be getting more updates but, we are all invested now. I've been mining since launch and have several hundred thousand coins. Some of you have millions, so we might as well make the best of it and try to make some of those electric bills back. 

The really stupid part is that their email difficulties could be fixed in 5 minutes. Don't really know their setup but MPOS is pretty particular, and email gateways are particular about how you set your stuff up.

Sorry guys, buy I add this coin because it looks good and because it have super blocks what is perfect for my pool.

I worked about a month 13 hours daily to invent, implement and code my idea to make multipool, what can always mine most profitable block from all currencies. My pools process every block from all daemons and always switch workers to the most profitable block. It means my workers switching some time every 5-10 seconds to different coins but always send shares to most profitable block.
And about 1000 miners trust this technology and want to have maximum profit for Megahashes provided to my pool. And I get many questions, why I added OctoCoin but it's not minable. Like most of you, who hopes what octoCoin will be pumped some time and you can sell this coins.

Also, possible, it can give some hope, what developer will return and release new version without superblocks. But only this change makes nothing for coin's prosperity. Only real services or goods what you can buy with money makes it valuable. While you can't buy nothing for some coins it's always will be only pump and dump scheme to collect easy money from 'hamsters'.

sweet! can't wait for the casino!

and as far as you, you are always here posting, so i don't think any user of your pool should be able to complain.

i love fusionhash and i havn't had an issue with them but i have seen many say that they don't answer emails. in fusionhash's last post they even said that they hadn't received them and wouldn't want to ruin their rep over such small amounts of coins, which i believe. but still, if there is an issue with receiving emails, then fix it or have someone watch this board closer which they said they would do.

overall, i'm happy and really at this price 3000 octo is small. but the thought process to most of us is what will 3000 octo be worth in the future so it's nerve wrecking to have coins in limbo.

i hope this new wallet fixes some of these wallet transaction issues people have had. at least it seems to be random and a small %.

Octocoin devs - Don't sleep 

well coinpine.pw has started sniping the bonus blocks again, sorry guys, i thought that they would be honourable. i told them i'd put my 20M rented rig on their pool for 7 days, and i did, i was a man of my word. it went down a couple times due to issues on my rented rig's end, and about 18 hours ago it was down for 4 hours. my rig renter told me that it wasn't on his end, that it was the pool issue, so i switched to a different octo pool and it was working fine. i told niceman about this, he didn't respond and went back to exploiting the bonus blocks. i've neen in touch with the octocoin devs, and they assure me that a solution is forthcoming in the very near future. hold on guys.

When I first started in the pool business I was impatient and really nervous, but being patient is key to this, apparently.. Heck, another coin I've been supporting for months and even helped on a relaunch JUST now started actually selling, so patience does pay off in the end. I don't think 888 is going away anytime soon, and after talking with the Octo spokesperson here, I get a pretty good sense that their intentions are to follow through with what they say, but having full time jobs and lives ruins even the most cautious timeline, for sure. I've never really had doubts on this coin, not to say I believe it's going to blow up like BTC one day but who knows, but I will admit I'm guilty as hell of dumping coins when I should be hanging on to them, and I feel like a @$$ for it, but gotta pay the server bills and stay alive while I work on building my empire! Whatever could be said about the devs or the Fusion Hash admins, I would hope you don't feel the same about me.. I may be, umm, eccentric and strange at times, but I'm doing my best to provide excellent services and support for everyone, find ways to contribute to the community, and do my best to not give pool admins a bad name. Plus, this is way better than a college education, alot more fun, and I sometimes even have a few extra bucks for junk food and beer.

I'm really just hoping and praying that when the wallet update comes (if it makes it out before the superblock cutoff rofl), the devs will seriously look into the matters I've been moaning about on here and github and get something done about it. It's likely the reason Jagged is missing those coins from FusionHash, they run MPOS as well so they likely had transactions bail out too. I keep a close eye on mine.

And on that note, a few minutes before starting this post I made several small changes to the pool's configuration, to see if earnings estimations even out a little bit. It shouldn't affect share numbers too much, just averages a bigger sample of blocks, maybe that'll help. I also enabled the sendmany payout option for the wallet, I want to see how it handles payouts with that. I'll be keeping an eye out, but if you're missing any payouts, please contact me, I'll take care of you.

I hope none of you guys are put off by what I was talking about in previous posts, about starting with a fresh pool. Regardless of sounding like a broken record, the reason for possibly doing this (we may, may not) just has to do with internal bookkeeping problems caused by the wallet sending errors during payout runs, but payouts succeeding anyway. It'd take days to fix it by hand, but a new pool would be a lot easier. All your shares and coins are and will be perfectly safe, and you'll be able to withdraw them from the old pool, and log into and mine in the new pool as if nothing happened, no re-registering or anything. Just wanted to put that out there so you guys know exactly what's up. I don't like being kept in the dark so I won't do that to you.

I owe all of you quite a bit of gratitude (and then some) for sticking around my pool and giving the "small guy" a fighting chance. I may not be raking in the big bucks, but I manage. The mining gear shellbunner sent me is a huge help, though! I really love it, got it pretty much tweaked to max speed, though I need to go dumpster diving or something to scavenge some fans to help cool the main rig off, I can only turn it up to max at certain times. Brings in a couple bucks a day though, depending on how I push it, and what I mine.. Usually octos though.

Anyway, I guess that's it, just stuff bouncing around in my head, been a weird few days.. I'm gonna get back to work on the 888 casino, hopefully start giving it some test runs later tonight! When it's ready, I'll be sure to let you guys know, you guys invest some octos in it, we spread the word to get people playing, and all share in profits! Means we need to get more people interested in octo.

You don't live in abilene tx by any chance do ya? lol..
If so I'd fix your poor miner. I'm pretty damn good at breathing new life into dead electronics. If it was just the power adapter, find out what voltage and how many amps (important on amps), and find something that's around the same.. Even if the voltage is a bit higher it'll be ok, your rig will have a vrm onboard to deal with that. If the plug doesn't fit, splice it, but but make damn sure you get the polarity correct!

Yeah, there's no reason to get flamed..... you said what you had to say and you were very respectful. i don't think anyone here wants to badmouth the coin or the pools or the devs. really you shouldn't for the sake of the coin. but at the same token, we have all been very patient here i think. many of us have seen many times where issues with transactions and the wallet have been repeatedly posted here and emailed.

I am glad we are all patient. Most people you see on other threads aren't very patient at all. I think as a group, we have all stuck around when it would be very easy to move on to another coin. I think, though, at the end of the day we all believe and think this coin is going to do big things. Honestly, when the devs post and then run a little behind, i just assume they are busy and running behind  like normal. It doesn't bother me because this coin wasn't instantly on a large exchange and dumped. I would be super worried if it had been then the devs or pools didn't respond much.

The only thing that worries me is that I mine as Fusion Hash..... I hope I never have to deal with an issue like this.

Nonetheless, I'm sure they'll get back to you eventually. Good luck!

I'm kinda with you guys but I'm in it for the long haul.. Another coin I've been supporting is basically back from the dead, so it's really up to us whether it succeeds or not. Worse comes to worse, there's always options to keep things going. I have left a detailed issue on github about the wallet not being nice with MPOS. If/when the wallet update comes we probably will be swapping pools, I've got it worked out though, it'll be painless. The only thing the users will have to do is log into the old pool to pull out their balances. Wallet just caused too many payout issues that have left our DB in a bad state. I know people are having doubts, but please, have NO doubt that good ol Edric is on top of things, everyone gets paid for every KH. I hate to badmouth anyone at all but with FH owing someone coins and they don't respond to support, this is a good reason to swap to my pool. We usually are seeing pretty good hashrates but today is damn dismal. Maybe because of the posts I made causing doubts, but rest assured, everyone's getting paid, I personally attend to anyone who has doubts, issues, or concerns about payouts. My advice to those having doubts about the coin itself, just stick around, hold what ya got or sell and keep mining, I don't think Octo is gonna die.

On a side note, it's looking GOOD for the investable gambling platform, seems that the bugs are worked out finally so I'm about ready to fire it up for you guys. It's awesome in that the profits won't solely be just for me, anyone can invest and profit. We're testing it out on another coin called Denarius (sorry for mentioning another coin in this thread XD) and so far so good. I think it's really going to be good for octo! I may end up straight up replacing the grids game with it though, so WITHDRAW if you have anything in there. Best thing about the new game is you can create an actual account with a password so no losing coins because you closed the page and cleared cookies.

I think the concern is, there is no anything. Updates would be nice. Being a Scrypt coin, electric costs can start adding up. Already had to sell off 50k Octo myself to pay the utils. Unfortunately, my electric rates go up May-Sept so I have had to switch rigs to a diff coin for the time being. But still holding the 888 I have left.

It's a bit annoying with the delays but keep the faith. News will come, mintpal is due to arrive at just the right time. There's no panic.

C´mon Octodevs, we have waited long enough now.

 Hello my octobrothers,


@bittrex octos are free

I dont have Btcs now 

Pretty much got everything worked out, just need to set it up for 888 now. May set it up for a couple of others, who knows! lol..

I'm concerned about the upcoming update, though.. hoping that we don't have problems with it, the pool is running a huge negative balance because of it not properly wiping off what it thinks its supposed to have.. I slightly changed some pool settings and see if it behaves more sanely? I hope.

Edit: going exhaustively through payout logs, I find that everyone's payouts are accounted for, but, the system has flagged a TON of payouts, i mean a TON, as "unpaid" via the validation script (meaning it's not finding txid), but if I pull up the address in my admin panel, there's the transaction, with TXID, and checks out in the block explorer. I talked to the MPOS dev a bit about it but the ticket got closed fast, according to him the first thing it does is removes the "lock" on those funds from the system when attempting to pay. Something with that is NOT working, because my system thinks it's holding on to payments that have been paid out. It's the wallet, though, not behaving itself on payout runs, so I think I'm going to have to find a solution to that by maybe slowing down payout runs quite a bit, and if the new wallet complains because we're "-50000" short (we're not, we're actually way over what we should be but I only have a rough estimate so I was being conservative when I moved some coins away).. This is likely to turn into a huge damned headache for me and is will most likely be COMPLETELY impossible to get the pool's accounting absolutely perfect, so sometime down the road, provided the new wallet behaves itself and processes payouts properly, we may transition the pool to a brand new "fresh" one. If that happens I will do my best to make it painless and see if there's a way I can port over everyone's users and workers, just without the balances, and mining can resume as normal. Ideally the only intervention required would be for users to jump into the old pool to withdraw their balances. I hate pointing fingers and blaming, I think MPOS and OctoCoin both are just not working well together. The first 2 weeks we had payout issue after payout issue and I believe that's why my numbers aren't lining up. It's frustrating because that extra coin that's "locked" by the system is intended to keep our system running and help support development for my side projects. Anyway, that's just a few thoughts off the top of my head, I just hate glitches like that. Please take note that this as of now does not affect users, and you're getting fully credited as always, it's just making headaches for me.. After the wallet update we'll see how it acts, if it gets pissed off about the "negative" liquid assets balance and continually halts crons, either database surgery is necessary (manually removing a few hundred of these "conflicted" transactions from my DB to even it out), or a fresh start (which I hate to do unless I can auto-port users and workers, then auto switch everyone over, where nobody notices a thing). Anyone got some input, or any other pool ops had the same type of experiences? All my pools are running the exact same version of MPOS but this is the only one acting up like this, and I am pretty certain it just boils down to "conflicted" transactions. So much fun! Anyone want my job for a week so I can do something, like get drunk and sleep?

To further add to this, how about we make a little change to the octocoin.org website?
The Mac and Linux wallets have been showing a release date of 4/28 since around a month ago. just looks abandoned

+888

That's right. Twitter should be used (and maybe a new one with real followers, just for credibility).
But maybe it's because we should keep this coin a secret till the bonusblocks are over. Don't know.

Devs, i have a question to you.
Why are you don't using twitter since march? There are no announcements of wallet updates or any significant events.
It's really sad for those who believe in your coin, and i am one of them.
