What?

lol DJ c'mon... you know you wanna...

nope.

live chat = too spooky

I agree... and it is always nice to have a developers perspective on things Bholzer... sometimes we forget what exactly developers have to go through on many levels when producing a product in this industry. Plus you are the only one that has any contact with them outside of here.

I will try to make the call next week, guys - I think this is a good idea. We can use it to vent, toss ideas around on how we can contribute, etc. Would be good if we can get at least a decent group locked in. Hopefully by next week we'll have some good news to help fuel excitement. Morale in the altcoin community is approaching an all-time low and the trend needs to be reversed.

Also, know this. if i am asked to remove these posts from the board by the devs i will respectfully do so but the calls will go on. This goes for both the Murraycoin and Octocoin devs. I do not see any reason why that would happen at all but i'm putting it out there. It would take a hell of a good explanation/reason to ask us to not hold such a call. Thanks guys!

I also posted this to the MC board:

Hello fellow Murraycoiners and possible Octocoiners. I know Bholzer and brianbbad (sorry i couldn't remember your name on the official Octo board post for this) have been over on our board. We are going to start holding calls on skype every sunday to discuss all things octo and of course FusionHash. You guys are welcome to come and join the discussion Many of you may be Octo holders but all of you should be familar with FusionHash. While this is primarily discussion about those two things, you are allowed and will be given time for anything Murraycoin you would like to discuss, if you choose to do so. I would suggest appointing someone to keep track of what points you may want to discuss and run it by Bholzer and make sure he is aware and cool with it. Also, as a Murracycoin holder myself, you never know who over on the Octo board isn't, so this is a chance to let them get to know you guys and your community and possibly get some new buyers. Anyways, I hope to see you there. Any concerns, you can PM me here or add me on Skype. Please include that you are form the Murraycoin board and what your screen name is here just so we can keep track of who's who. If not you guys may want to change your nickname on skype to your screen name here please. Mine is already like that.

OC3 (Octo Community Conference Call)

Sundays @ 3:15 PM CST

Be there and let's discuss all things Octo! Remember guys, just like here on the board, we can discuss some of your concerns and rumors but let's keep it polite and respectful. We have done such a great job here for 6+ months keeping it tame here on the board. Let's continue to do so please.

ok guys, no responses so i'm going to assume that today isn't going to work. i'm on skype with StonerBoy right now if you want to join in random chat.

we will promote for next sunday and we will do it earlier at around 3:00-3:15 ish on Sundays from now on. Stonerboy is in Germany so it's about midnight there right now and he works on monday mornings at 7. this will allow him to participate in the full calls.

the point of the calls is to keep the board FUD free and hopefully we won't have a ton of posts about vaporware/hype/rumors. that doesn't mean we can't discuss those things. i think a good idea is to have someone (fatguy lol) take minutes and see if Bholzer can or will get the minutes to the devs.

that way we can discuss our concerns, gripes, complaints, ideas, plans, etc. and let the devs know how we feel. if Bholzer can't or won't that's fine. we can post the mins here and at least keep everything worded and spoken in a professional manner.

i still have faith in Octo and i believe they are probably doing  what they can to get things going but i think everything we've seen here for the last 6 months is concerning. at this point with Bitcoin 2.0 coins taking off, i don't want the failure of Octo releasing news on apps to be left in the dust. we lived through the era of country coins and the POS altcoin takeover. however, there are many coins out there that the devs need to deliver to keep Octo relevant and us from losing our investment.

it's interesting times. in no way is this meant to slight the devs, fusion hash, investors or anyone in the community. just healthy discussion that sometimes loses translation when typing on a message board. plus you never know, maybe this is what we need to kickstart some steam back in our community. the cool guy from murray coin (brian? i've seen him post here and there at the murraycoin boards but i'm bad with names and am too lazy to look at the moment.) posted the other day about positives that we can do as a community and my response was that we have been doing that and that it's hard to do when we don't have anything to go on due to lack of presence and guidance from the devs. i mean fatguy wrote 20 weeks worth of updates he pulled from random news and thin air and did a great job. we have talent and good people that can make ideas happen but we won't continue to do this with no direction i don't think.

and for those that think octo is on the way down or dead or that you can have a mass community sell off to drive the price down and kill the coin, none of those are good. at this point it's too early to have that attitude although i do not blame you. (specially the mass community sell off to drive the price down and get out as one random skyper who shall remain nameless and anonymous suggested. you can't do that because you risk the devs or fusion hash or investors buying it all up for cheap and then releasing the apps. i don't think the octo devs would do that, they have given no indication of such things but we have seen these shenanigans on other coins/boards.)

anyways, let's promote the call for 3:15 PM next sunday. Bholzer and FatGuy if you could check your pm's sometime i have questions for both of you that i'll send at some point tonight.

Thanks, frameLAlife, aka OctoBagHolder hahahaah jk. i still love this coin and the dudes that are here. Hope to hear some good news from the devs soon

P.S. i am a lazy typer.... i don't do caps much. hehe

ok it's 8 mins til 5 pm cst so 5 pm is off. it's now 6 or 7 pm cst. cast your vote.

you guys ready for the group skype call?

once again add kristharp78 on skype and we will get together. i just got home so this is the first i've heard about the hash rate if someone wants to fill me in.

suggestions on how quickly we start? 5:00? 6:00? these are all central standard time in the US. i know we have one dude from Germany who added me already.

  No worries. I'm hoping we hear from them soon though. Curious about the little hiccup on the network, and obviously any news.

Damn...my fault...I was surfing on my phone and misread the local time zone as the last login date...sorry guys...mea culpa!

I am wondering the same thing. Shows they haven't logged in since August 26th for me?

am I missing something, or is that just not true? 

But hey...the Dev's have logged in here today...there is still life out there...hold on...the group therapy Skype conference isn't far away 

That's weird. Maybe only a temporary failure of one big miner farm?

block production appears to have stopped at 165895?

Based on last known network hashrate and difficulty it should only take 9 minutes to generate a block and it's been several hours.

I'm guessing that the actual hashrate is probably more like the combination of FusionHash and fedaykin's pools (21.5Mh/s) which would put the block generation time at around 5.5 hours.  It's currently been about that long.

So the hidden pools that had been keeping Octo alive have now pulled out?

sweet. thx for adding guys. i'm busy with family stuff today but sometime sunday.

i live in American Central time........ any ideas for a time from on Sunday? I prefer the afternoon or night. i usually have stuff to do in the morning.
