It's shellbunner, mining da sh*t out of Octo
128,493 khs. Nice man!
I think shellbunner has some deep pockets because I remember when he was basically mining Megacoin by himself way back when the blocks were like 125 MEC each (right around the time I started mining MEC). I remember times when him and I made up almost the entire mining network. I have to assume he unloaded a few when they were worth $2.00+ each haha. I sold most of mine way too early but still did pretty well.
Ah okay, seems like he's a smart guy. Seeing the potential of a coin before everybody else does brings the biggest profits.
And big profits will also come to the early adopters of Octo.
If you see how much coins we got all the days, and how much there are now... and its only 0,5 Ghs. Plus the Bonusblocks.
If this coin get's more famous and more will mine it we will soon, 100%, see 0,25$.
And if the devs do what they are talking about there will be 1$ faster as we think.
But you all deserve it!
I feel like a celebrity with you guys all saying my name
I killed one of my little miners last night, so I decided to rent some from betarigs.com and I got carried away
I was going to mine Whitecoin or some other profitable coin, but 888 just feels right.
Sorry about forcing the difficulty up so high. Wasn't my intention to screw everyone else.
Megaman- If I had sold at the right time, I would have made a KILLING! Like 7 digit killing. But I held forever, and my intention was to use it as a currency and not just flip for profit. I made decent money, and I used a chunk to purchase stuff for my child on the way, and to start a business with a friend. Megacoin has been good to me.
Anyways, enough rambling. I won't be renting anymore rigs anytime soon. I have one 45MH rig rented for another 60 hours at Edric's pool, and that's it.
Go 888!!!!
Haha, I was pretty astounded when I saw the pool at 150MH, even moreso when I saw you were doing most of it! Difficulty going up may be bad for the smaller miners, but in the long run will help out the price. I haven't looked into renting mining rigs, but I'd definitely be interested in it if I could afford to. I'd be in good shape for sure if my ex wife hadn't "helped" me get rid of my mining rigs. Still, I see that hashrate and it gets me excited in ways only a nerd could appreciate, lol
It's been a while since I unloaded a wall of text and my thoughts so if you don't want to hear about someone else's crappy life, you better stop reading here :b
I've been racking my brain trying to figure out some ways to turn a profit, without putting anyone in a bad spot, of course. Right now I'm only running a few pools, and most are either completely dead or a coin that nobody wants (or both), but Octocoin is doing a good job at staying alive and, so far, keeping loyal fans. Every time I have to sell what bits of 888 I do have, I kick myself, because I know I'm probably throwing money away, but don't have much of a choice if I want to survive. Around here it's rough job-wise. If you don't have impeccable credentials and a college degree you have the choice to either work on an oil rig (which I would be doing if I could) or work a dead-end job that barely puts a dent in the necessary expenses. I've made a lot of dumb decisions when I was younger, so any kind of "professional" type job is out the window for me. I don't know why I'm telling you guys all this, I guess I just want ya'll to know who I am, kinda feels like family, lol. Anyway, on Christmas day, without going into much detail, some serious shit went down, so with nothing but my computer and some of my clothes, I'm starting over. I had to leave my job behind as well (and nothing of value was lost). So with plenty of time on my hands, in a spare bedroom at my sister's place, I've found a renewed interest in programming and cryptocoins. The funny thing is, I got into it with dollar signs in my head, and though the money has been elusive so far, in a short amount of time I've reaped huge rewards in other ways. I've always had a talent for computers so it's about time I actually DO something with it, and to that end I spend usually more than 12 hours a day at my computer, working on stuff. The way you guys have treated me thus far has been very inspirational and has definitely changed my attitude in a lot of ways. I'm starting to feel like I have a purpose again, without divulging too much let me just say I was close to rage quitting life. Eventually, I'm sure the profits will come. For some reason, I feel bad even mentioning money, even though that's what we're dealing with. In fact I hate even charging a fee to mine my pools, but for now it's a necessity. With the price of 888 right now, the fees I collect don't really amount to much, and I'm trying to get things to a point where I don't have to touch my coins at all and just save up, but it's been setback on top of setback so I keep having to sell here and there for food, or a part for my computer, it's always something. I'd like to thank everyone for sticking with my pool and showing your support, without your help the pool would have been shut down for a while, which would probably have been an effective death blow. I've got next month's fees covered, I did a Freelancer.com job, which I'm not sure if I'm going to get the rest of what I'm owed on the job, but did get a milestone payment on it, there's a 15 day hold but it'll be here just in time. I'm sure some of you are thinking "Why don't you get a real job?".. Good question, I ask myself the same thing. I was actually in the pizza business from '98-2012 and that's about all I'm "qualified" to do. I've wasted a lot of my life acting stupid and working dead end jobs and I want to do something on my own terms where there's no limits except for the ones I impose on myself. That and I refuse to be yelled at ever again for there not being enough cheese on your cheese pizza. I may be flat broke now but when payday comes I will be smiling all the way to the bank, because I don't have to punch a clock, ask for smoke breaks, step on anyone, or kiss butts. Ok, maybe a little butt kissing, but I do it because I want to, not because I have to :b Pride is something I've been sorely lacking in life, but I'm finding plenty of it now in the trust and support that the community has shown me. That and the occasional email telling me I'm wasting my time and my life. Oh well.
I still don't have a clue what the devs are planning for Octo, but they're not the only ones with grand plans. I have a hundred different ideas and projects in varying stages, some coming in the near future. I've been wanting to provide games for everyone to enjoy, and seeing the success of some of the dice games out there I can imagine the profits some of the operators are enjoying are quite good. It makes me feel kinda guilty to think in those terms, but everyone needs money. I've also been throwing ideas around to myself about setting up some heavier services, putting on the big boy panties and setting up my own exchange of sorts, something a bit different from most normal exchanges, though, and possibly a store of some kind. Something I'll have to consider carefully, though, because aside from the amount of effort, I'm still learning finer points of programming and security, and the world of financial services isn't a playground, it can make or ruin people, or even land you in a cell with Bubba. Still, I'm capable of doing whatever I set my mind to, and I want to give something to the community and be able to mutually profit, together. How about an Octocoin exclusive escort service? No, on second thought, buying hookers and blow with 888 may not be very good for our reputations. Or our health.
Ok, there's my wall of text for the week. I don't really have anyone to talk to so this is what happens when I bottle it up. That and too much coffee. I sit in this room alone so much I'm probably crazy by now, but that's ok. Also, I know I have been neglecting the weekly giveaway, I get so wrapped up in everything. I'm doing 2 giveaways tonight, so stay tuned! Oh, and looks like a lot of posts were made while writing this (couple hours on and off), lol
