The only potential issue with the source are file permissions on the directory after unzipping without specifying attributes - chmod 777 -R on the directory will resolve any permission-related building issues. We will be updating GitHub shortly which will have the correct file attributes if cloned.

We are dealing with pool operators at a variety of skill levels - if you requested to have your pool added, we added it. We could have given you a quiz first to ensure you were up to the challenge but that's part of what makes a launch so exciting - it's a goldrush. Everybody was in the same boat dealing with the same issues - nobody had any major advantages. Solo miners likely came out of this in the worst shape as they weren't getting work fast enough early - that's why I urged people not to solo mine and to create accounts at multiple pools for backup.

We had a few DDoS attacks on pools/nodes but other than that the problems the pools are experiencing are due to the inability to handle the traffic. We had over 1 Gh/s on the network within 10 minutes and, with the low starting difficulty, blocks were being found faster than the servers could handle. Now that things are settling down and network speed is being spread across more pools, we are experiencing fewer issues.

The pools will be able to re-enable statistics shortly, I'm sure. If you have ever been around for a high-profile launch, there are often issues with pools/etc in the early stages - sometimes physics simply gets in the way. Also, the high-profile launch attracted DDoS attacks at FusionHash and the main OctoCoin nodes - in my opinion, these were handled quite well, considering.

We aren't even 2 hours into the launch here and there are thousands of 888 OctoCoin blocks still out there - things will only get better from here.

all i can think about when someone says Triple dog dare is that part from  Christmas Story.

Whats up with your vardfif? 2k? and fluctauates ~10 seconds

True, had no issues with freebtc.eu, coins coming in swiftly.

It's a triple dog dare, I'm at the edge of my seat.

Another coin without any special features why don't you just call it pump & dump copy/paste coin? dead on arrival.

there's no problem with the source ..


we've already found gazilion blocks ... go to the "last blocks" tab

Is there an official Github repsoitory?

+1000 lol

I'm not sure of the word FAIL anymore as FAILcoin launch was smooth and fair LOL

so has the problem with all the pools been fixed yet?  i have my hashing power split between 2 pools and have nothing.

pool operators are already talking about closing their pools

sounds like its coming close to a sad fail for this coin.

would the Developers like to make a statement?

PLEASE NOTE :- There appears to be an issue with the source, as other pools have also had issues. Please mine at own risk (I have considered closing pool).

loool

--------------------
During the first 6 months, ~31 million OctoCoins will be minted

• 88 OctoCoins per block during the next 88 days

--------------------

We did find coins. I saw it happen. Just not being reported.

I don't really know what the issue was there for a bit, but resetting the stratum servers and re-syncing our wallet got things on the right track.


If anyone sets up a block explorer and I miss it, please do me a favor and send me a PM.

First time I've ever seen a pool use whole new subdomains for coins/endpoint rather than a subdomain like useast.[Suspicious link removed].  Any particular reason for that?

Also why didn't we find any blocks in the first 500 or so?

*EDIT 2014 and we can't link to .tk domains?!  Really?! 

Appreciate the feedback MCCPool.

Have you turned off block updates being posted on the front end because of load? Have you turned off anything else that might usually be displayed on the front-end (website pages)? If yes then posted messages on the dashboard would be useful to alley the fears of those who do not understand tuning a pool's performance while under heavy load / stressed.

I ask because the website only shows 1 block (993) being processed by your pool that has around 167 workers doing 205.594 Mh/s

Edit - I am in idiot
