This is slightly off-topic, but I got a chuckle out of it. It's a video about Octopus, and it's pretty funny. Enjoy.

Same here. I'll send a few your way if you post your address. I really enjoy your Saturday updates. 

I haven't mined any. Just been buying when the time (price) is right. Managed to snag a few recently. Nothing real cheap... There seems to be less people looking to dump, at the moment, but I keep looking! 

Meanwhile I am content at having mined just over 8,888 now   0.01% achieved

This will be fun... when we hit a big market and Octo gets more popular and nearly nobody wants to sell his 888 because slow but steady the most Octocoins are only in hands of true Octobelievers that go for the longterm  
Sure there will be some dumpers in the beginning... but Octo will be rare to mine and soon you will have to put a lot of money on the table to get some acceptable stacksize  

Only a matter of time  

 

888,888 is a good number 

Lol. I wish more people were dumping. I'm hoping we get on an exchange with lots of volume and I'll be ready to catch all the dumpers!

yeah, lots of time for many people to realise that they don't want their mined octo and sell to me! not enough people dumping

Right on! Lots of time for everyone to stock up!

 

Thanks Dev's!

octo dev delivering the goods. can't wait to see the REAL featureset coming in the future. big things a 'gawn

Just a brief update to let everybody know we're going to try to get the new source out within the next 24 hours. This update is primarily for pool operators... but we will be releasing all new wallets again (hence the reason the OS X wallet hasn't been released yet). We built the next version on top of the latest bitcoin code which adds a few additional features. Hopefully, with this next release, we should be set for a while while we start implementing all of the features we have planned into the next version.

whats wrong whenever i start wallet i get this msg. i deleted all blocks folders renamed wallet but the same issue! (it was working few says ago)

I believe the bonus blocks end in early to mid June. Still at least 1 more month of good mining!!!

I love how we have moved 2 places above FlappyCoin since yesterday!   

Also, has anyone paid for a vote on MintPal yet? I'd be willing to give a little if we could all rally and have OctoCoin make a major move toward the top.

I thought the bonus blocks were already done, every time I looked at the pool's block history, I only saw 88's, but apparently we did get a bonus block today. I don't even remember what the cutoff for that is. Either the bonus block frequency has gone way down, or the pool is just having bad luck, because we used to get several bonus blocks a day.

I would like to point out, since this has never came up, that I have my pool's software set up to pass the bonus along to the users, as well as any transaction fees that may be attached to blocks, as well.

Whew, I'm back. Moving sucked. After I got my computer stuff broken down and I pulled out my tower, I really took a good look in it and realized how nasty it is inside. My god, as a computer enthusiast, I should be ashamed of myself. My ex wife used to chain smoke like crazy right by my desk, all that tar made it easy for dirt to stick to everything inside. Took me 5 hours last night to completely dismantle it, clean each part including the motherboard by hand. The front intake fan behind the panel, that cools the hard drives, was so caked with dirt it couldn't even spin. Texas, ugh. I managed to rig up an extra fan to the damaged heatsink, though, and it's running much, much cooler. I had a decent ATX case I was going to transplant the guts into but apparently someone helped themself to it and a bunch of other stuff I had stored in my mom's garage. My current case is a bit disfigured due to my ex's temper tantrums, duct tape doesn't make it look more sophisticated, either :b

Anyway, was up all night fixing the computer, and fixing various stuff in the new house. Went to bed about 8AM, just in time for the plumber to knock on the door. They've been in and out all day making plenty of noise but we have a new hot water heater and running water that isn't brown. As they were leaving, the cable guy showed up, ran me a brand new line from the pole in the alley to my bedroom so the connection is better than perfect. The package shellbunner sent me will be showing up at any time today, so I'm excited, but I'm so sleepy I can't think straight. After I get a little bit of rest there's a lot more work to be done towards getting my repertoire of gaming/gambling stuff ready for you guys. Dice has been the worst luck so far, working with a few broken/incomplete/exploited scripts, found another one that I think is functional but I haven't figured out how to run it yet, I have no experience with laravel and composer, been waiting on devs to answer some questions for me. Also, I think I've got 2 different slot machine scripts/apps, some broken video poker games, but some other stuff that shows real promise, one is the source code from the old luckco.in cards site, and another game that is supposed to be ready to go, fun and fair, and players are able to invest (I don't know exactly what the game is, will find out soon). So, got a ton on my plate and I have an extremely hard time concentrating on one project at a time. Since I'm still basically a student developer, I just don't have the ability yet to write up my own game from scratch, cannot afford to pay for fancy, expensive casino scripts, and with all the different development methods available, fixing/patching/completing all these various game projects collecting dust on github is extremely difficult. I've wanted to focus on learning PHP and C but I find I'm having to learn a bit of everything. Who knows, maybe someday I'll write up a game using LiveCode, such an easy and powerful programming language, based on HyperCard. Any old school Mac guys will recognize that. I remember spending an entire summer when I was maybe 12-13 years old writing extremely stupid programs in Hypercard, from "choose your own adventure" (and die no matter what you do) story games, to a program that calculates exactly how much of a pervert and loser you are. Good times.

Anyway, not to steal the 888 dev's thunder, but ol' Edric is going to be your go-to non-big-business gambling guy. An exchange is definitely a possibility for the future as well, I've been looking at software for it but the features I have in mind will need some difficult mods.

Glad the pool didn't break down while I was moving, but the hashrate is way lower than I expected. 367MH net hashrate, and we're only 30, that makes me sad

Trying to think of a good promotion to do to bring some traffic back. Any ideas?

how much longer do we get to mine the 888 bonus blocks? anyone know the exact block when that ends?
