I can't log in and I'm getting no response form the support I'd get out of that pool if I was you . Looks like they stole my coins.

smooth launch
good dev team
but almost no volume in any exchange, and lack of miner......

Put your receive address in the block explorer and compare this account balance to the balance in your wallet. All these random addresses are in no mans land. If you put them in the block explorer you will see that they only contain the one mined transaction and I doubt anybody can access them regardless of the value showing in the wallet.

So if every block that I solomined was an orphan, then why does my wallet count these as valid blocks and add them to the total, why are they in the block explorer?  Why did the wallet create new addresses for each block?

If this was normal then every pool would have issues with negative balances. Their wallet would say they have more coins than they actually do just as mine does.
Yes I remember clearly the dev trying to persuade people not to solomine. He should have been honest about it and told them there was an issue with the first wallet creating new addresses with each found block that can not be accessed. It's one thing if solomining is difficult and most people don't have enough hash power to do it, it's a completely different thing if none of the found blocks go to the correct address.

no prob. that was a fairly painless and short survey... you did it right.

as for mintpal, amen. although, even they get DDOSed. but yeah, i cannot wait to get on mint or cryptsy.

some of these other exchanges aren't really that bad. prelude.io, cryptoaltex and bittrex are really nice looking and functioning exchanges but they just don't have the volume. it's bad to see a list of miners setting sales and having no buyers lol. good luck to all three of those exchanges though. i will still keep tabs on them and trade on any coins that have some volume on those exchanges. never hurts to have some backup exchanges and help them grow.

they've been hacked repeatedly. at this point octo has no other choice. until mintpal or cryptsy get us that's it. these other small exchanges are nice and i have some octo on a few of them, but they do not have the volume. at this point cryptorush is the only exchange with any volume. and it's still lower volume and most of the users there were too worried about blackcoin to really put too much time into trading octo. but yeah it had problems with DDOSing way before they picked octo up and i'm sure it will continue. even if the majority of miners agreed to only trade on smaller exchanges who says they won't get hacked. not to mention without buyers it means nothing.

my only issue with cryptorush so far is the login doesn't always work.

other than that they can't really control if others are DDOSing them repeatedly. even mintpal get's DDOSed and I would much rather trade octo there.

keep voting for mintpal!

Thanks! I really do appreciate the effort. I know that surveys are the most boring thing after watching paint dry . On a octonote, I really hope we get to MintPal or other reputable/reliable exchange soon, so we can trade without worrying about the exchange getting hacked or other stupid things like that.

I wouldnt recommend Cryptorush exchange.

Theyve been hacked recently.

done.

I hope this doesn't bother anyone, but I would like to share this with the community I'm invested in. I’m doing a study on digital currencies, and I made a short survey about it. I would be more than pleased, if you could answer to this survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15GwSRZlWydQjK6zMCGeLr4fKdY79UGZx3xp-5eko3Dg/viewform Thanks guys!

I am intersted in Octocoin,I hope you will be better in future

we see your image fine.. it's just on your end.. my posts are always off on bitcointalk.org. i just thought that was normal.

LMAO wow hahahahha

thx to those who donated to the faucet!

nice. cryptorush.in is the exchange currently that has the most volume for 888.

And has given Octocoin it's private calculator which can be found at https://cointweak.com/calculator/coin/888

(unfortunately xnigma does not support exchange volume display.)

If nobody responds when I get home tonight you can send me 2-3 coins to my wallet and i'll send them back and then we will check the blockchain.

Have you tried to send 2-3 just to see if an exchange will post the transaction and check the blockchain with that transaction?

If we narrow down what the actual problem is even other coins devs have probably seen it. Most issues are not new and the answers are only a google search away.

Well let me preface this by saying i feel your pain. I know what it's like to have to deal with issues with coins and wallets. We have all been there. However, I have not personally seen you post it. If I had time I would go back through but I simply do not. I'm not calling you a liar, I'm just saying that some of us who are on this thread every day did not notice you mentioning this before.

If you have a problem you have to come on here and tell the devs, yes? Well now you are and that's cool. I'd be patient and wait for the dev to answer or ask nicely if anyone else here has any input on what the issue is.

To come on here and say it the way your original post did is not the way I would have done it. It sounded like you were on here asking about something for the firs time and already complaining.

Nonetheless, if you have already posted and haven't gotten an answer I can understand. There are some other minor issues that people have posted about and to my knowledge have not had a public answer from the dev (maybe private) including myself. My issue is small because it's about the mac wallet and i have the windows wallet anyways. I think you have to understand that the devs are probably extremely busy and they have been on here as much as possibly. They have answered some (not ALL) of my PMs yet I'm not on here complaining about it. I'm def not throwing out accusations that they have "cashed out and abandoned the coin" as you put it.

In face every time the devs have shown up you see a dev post that answers some users questions. Yesterday they showed up in the middle of a DDOS attack and promised another update today. They are trying to get some of the services launched. What they are doing is extremely important to get the coin going. Do I wish that they were here at least once daily? Yes. Do I think that is a good idea? Yes. But do I say things that I have absolutely no proof of that can damage the rep of the devs, this community and the coin? No. Could that hurt the coin, the devs and the community and the bottom line on this coin? Yes. Think about it before you start spouting off about something you are invested in. You shouldn't want to hurt your investment. That's like where I work. I don't like every little thing about the people I work with, my bosses or my company but if I go out and bad mouth any of those things it looks extremely bad in something I 'm invested in and could hurt me down the road. Why would I shoot myself in the foot like that because I don't like or agree with something they do? Exactly, I don't. I suck it up and find better ways to communicate my issues.

Nonetheless, even if the devs were to have enough coins to cash out and then abandon the coin (which at the current value they do not; they would have had it on a better exchange early, with a larger premine and pumped and dumped it as much as possible before bouncing on us to even make more than a few thousand dollars at this point) they wouldn't have the market or the volume to dump to. It doesn't exist yet. It's not there. Unless you want to drop your mined coins at half a penny and make virtually nothing, it wouldn't have been worth the time they put into the coin to begin with. Instead they have pretty much done it backwards and are focusing on their projects to make the coin viable. They made the coin and their website and did some promotion. Other than that they have made a tipbot on reddit. Other users are here day in and day out. Other users are leading the charge on Reddit. Other users are pushing for more exchanges and getting it voted onto cryptorush. Other users are leading the charge on the vote for mintpal. Other users are donating and getting the coin on a site with paper wallets, scratch off games and a faucet. The devs have been here enough to know they haven't abandoned anything.

Other users are letting the devs do their thing and we are doing our part to help the success of the coin. They have had somewhat of a lapse this week compared to the first week. But they also told us that they were working hard to get things ready for an announcement in April and re doing the website, etc.

I know it's frustrating sometimes if you feel like your questions aren't being answered but throwing out accusations aren't going to help your issue.

I have a question. Now that you re-downloaded the blockchain have you attempted to send a small amount of coins to another address?

I saw that you said that you solo mined at launch and that would make sense that there is an issue because they had some issues with pools that were mining during the launch. I'm sure the dev will answer your question. Have you tried to PM the dev yet? I saw that you are getting some responses from users here but it doesn't look like any of us have that answer.

If you would like to test this i'm sure someone will give you their wallet address and let you send them a small amount of coins. I would if I was at home and could give you a wallet address.

Can anyone trustworthy here give him your wallet address so he can test sending a small amount of coins?
