Posting the same bs stuff every 3-4 weeks without delivering anything announced  isnt what ive expected from this tbh.
Wake up

Holding out hope is one thing, the DEVs giving us a SOLID reason for holding out is another.  For a DEV to say "a couple weeks" and not provide proof of what they are working on is just more BS to keep up hanging on.


If I was working on a project at work, and my bosses asked for an update and all I said was "a couple weeks" and provided no clue or proof on what I am working on, I would be out of a job...

I have seen it with so many coins, keep stringing the sheep on..  Give them hope and they will keep buying.

SHOW US SOMETHING DEVs!!!  PROOF is what we want!!!

What exactly would you like Slick? If everyone agreed with you. ie "this is outrageous" what would your next step be? What would our next step be? We're all disappointed with the deliverance from the Devs, and lets say we're all right there with you, but then what? What are we going to do? Open letter from the people who post on the forum? Written by who? and if it's a collaboration who decides the tone?

I think the fact that you are taking the lack of releases almost personally, is encouraging you to become as blinkered as the 'sheep'. You are consistent in you disappointment and want everyone else to be equally disappointed and angry with the Devs, some people are, some people aren't. Calling the people that accept that the situation is out of their control 'sheep' is probably as offensive as calling you a 'whinger'.

So what would you like, if everyone posted 'We agree with Slick', what then? What makes your posts irritating is that you voice concerns repeatedly and call for solidarity but it doesn't feel to me like taking your point of view would help. Can you (or anyone else) convince me that chiming in with you would achieve anything or make me (or anyone else) feel better about the situation or would I just become as frustrated as you but without any benefits. If that's the option I'd rather write it off (as is obvious by my earlier posts...).

I think holding out hope for anything 888 related is fine but just don't bank on it, if it comes good we're laughing if it doesn't, it doesn't. If you keep getting your hopes up you're setting yourself up for disappointment, if you have low expectations things can only be pleasant surprises... I now have low expectations and am waiting for a pleasant surprise, why not wait with me?

Every deadline that passes and nothing happens with the coin is like a punch in the gut to me. I hate it. I feel sick. I end up making excuses like, well, it was a holiday weekend, so maybe that'll delay them a day. But then the extra day passes too and nothing from the devs.

hey just because we look at things differently doesn't mean that people are sheep, or don't agree with you that Octo devs have dropped the ball. i think we just choose to handle it differently.

the difference is i didn't set any expectations that anything was coming to us on Sunday. at this point they either are gonna do what they wanna do their way or they aren't really doing anything at all.

either way i can't afford or risk selling. i also don't think if i backed what you said we would get any different results.

i really think we are at the mercy of the devs and we either will see some payoff on THEIR timeline (which at this point doesn't really exist) or we are just fucked and lost all our money or must sell now for what little you can recover.

some people here are, a lot aren't. it's really heartening to read when someone backs me up it really makes my day, but maybe i just put more weight behind every other post that's either vehemently disagreeing with me to the point of personal attacks, or just the usual hum-drum "oh i bet they'll come with something this week! oh they didn't? for the 28th consecutive week? awww it's alright, maybe next week!".

it just still crushes me to read that stuff, every word is like a dagger in my brain. the only purpose that serves it to self-delude, and gives the devs a pass to once again lie to us.

so are you are implying that we aren't capable of analytical thinking?

i'm pretty sure nobody here is that dumb.

i should probably just turn off the analytical part of my brain and become one with the sheep, cause i'm not getting anywhere trying to talk sense.

hey guys! I bet the devs are just biding their time, i bet they're sitting on not just millions but billions of lines of code! oh man when they let this cat out of the bag it's going to be a code champagne shower up in this bitch! don't blink and miss it!

what do you think the octohub icons mean? i bet they all mean such cool crazy things, most of all i think they mean that i'm gonna be rich!

these guys are obviously so professional, everyone knows that minimal chic is so hot right now, like they don't even HAVE to release anything, they're THAT cool! you can really tell how professional they are by how well-worded their posts are, all of these big words they use. And this one guy from this other coin has TOTALLY talked to them so many times, conference calls!

there's really no other coin like this one, all other coins are just bla bla bla LIP SERVICE, they're all like: "we're gonna come out with all this stuff" and then they never do! nothing like octocoin, this coin's going places.

i'm so excited i painted a 12 foot mural showcasing octocoin remixed with davinci's last supper, it took me 4 months to finish, but it's so worth it! i just want to show my love and appreciation to this amazing coin! my computer desktop is octocoin, i eat live and breathe octocoin.

ho man, do you think they'll release something this week? oh that's be so awsome! but even if they don't i know that they're trying their hardest. it's all ok!

all i know is that this is the best investment i've ever made! thank you magic internet money! and thank you octocoin!

I don't really get what you are saying/asking/implying 

I think the link to the website OctoHub.org    means soon coin fails. All the things on OctoHub state soon, pronto, quick...... I think it means coin is dead....soon, pronto, quick. What else could it mean? Last heard forever ago on speculation. Have faith and if you take a chance, take it with OCTO.....hmmmmm. Doesn't sound good. Fucking fuck man do something or you are shit.

Blink Blink.

+888

I would say regardless, I cannot recover the amount I bought in at and even if the buy support was there, I wouldn't undercut what I invested to recover a measly 1/8 of what I spent.

Safer bet is to hold at this point.

I agree that the coin seems to be the least of their concerns. The price def hasn't swayed them.

Now, if Bittrex contacts them to warn of delistment, will that get their attention? We may soon see. But, if they truly are just running behind then maybe down the road we will see something positive that will pay off.

At this point though, they risk getting left behind as the alt scene appears to be crumbling and Bitcoin 2.0 is the new go to coins/platforms to buy.

It does seem crazy that we have yet to see a screenshot even. Specially when you follow others who have appeared to launched in a much shorter time.

Oh well, guess we will see how it all ends up soon.

lol at the guy that flamed my cause i sold @ 400 and said that i couldnt wait and i will regret it soon  

NOPE

eat this you positive sheep

i think i will give up 2 weeks after it gets delisted honestly :/

Bittrex are increasing their delisting volume threshold from 0.1 to 0.2 BTC;

We can argue the toss over semantics and arbitrary dates but nothing changes the fact that its the ultimately the devs that have persistently failed to deliver, squandered the goodwill of this community and driven the market for Octo to a level from which it may never recover, leaving us all high and dry.

I don't see there's any point prodding them via DM or goading them in this thread, they will renege on whatever they promise anyway.  The coin is probably part of their plans but it's apparent the current price is no concern to them and they don't care who's holding what.  They have their own agenda and it's increasingly clear we're not part of it.  And actually, we've no real right to expect to be.  We're not investors, we're speculators.  What's annoying is that they keep trying to persuade us otherwise.

they said they would do their best to respond to the forums...

there will soon be the point where the devs MUST take action.
Remember how fast they reacted when bittrex octo trading wasn't working?
Well, no news, no trading volume, and the danger of being delisted slowly closes in.
They can't allow this to happen. On the other hand: if they do, we definitely know the octopus is dead...

I already said I was fine with us not agreeing about what a couple weeks meant. That is still fine.

As for the rest, I want a big update too. And I want it to include more than just words. Personally, I'm tired of having to guess who's hashing or why nothing is ever released from the developers.

You can keep putting words in my mouth but you're just doing what Slick is if you do. Chances are we both agree that a couple of weeks is approximately 14 days, but it is not strict in definition. If they had delivered on Friday or Saturday it still would have been "a couple of weeks" since they said. It can be taken to mean a two week period, given as from a monday to Sunday twice over, or a ballpark figure to represent a short period of less than 3 weeks.

It is a very loose term, no doubt chosen by the devs specifically so as to not create a sense of exactness. Please, do tell me where they actually said "on the day of the 12th, there will be an update". Could they have chosen better terminology? Of course, clearly. We wouldn't be having this conversation if they had.

Trust me, I want this update and by now, I want it to be big. I want this cabin fever we all feel to be quelled.

However food for thought - there's about 300mh on the network, last time I looked, which is essentially unaccounted for, but believed to be the devs and/or fusionhash group. MH that has been there the whole time, before asics arrived. These are not running at a profit right now, nor for quite a while, but they are running none the less. Why on earth would they still mine so heavilly Octocoin, at a loss...unless something big was coming to be worthwhile?

We disagree about the meaning of “a couple weeks”. That’s fine.

You’re free to do and think what you want. Post what you want. But so is DJslick. I think it’s crappy to attack him personally, especially when the facts support him based on a literal reading of the words from the developers.
