Octo doesn't have a strict POS element but the devs are working on a 'Bank' to store your coins which may pay interest.

The Devs probably won't answer you as they only really post when there's a development (which we're expecting in the coming weeks) but to get an idea of what's happening I'd recommend finding the Dev on the forum and reviewing his post history.

And while you're looking into stuff check out www.octohub.org for some sneaky tasters.

Side note 1: Anyone else mining/trading URO?

Heard of URO but haven't mined/traded any, should I be doing?

Side note 2: Anyone interested in a very limited edition custom etched pint glass? Featuring the 888 octopus of course...

Possibly, tell us more...

We bought some ([email protected]) a few days ago, went to bed it was 3x in the morning, went to bed again it was 4x in the morning. Sitting on about 1 btc now... A couple of companies have agreed to accept it for urea (fertiliser) at a 1:1 ton ration (minimum order 12,500 tons), reportedly the first order went through this morning. The btctalk thread is suffering from some hardcore FUDing but thoreticall the coins are worth about 0.4btc each.

Re Glasses. We're thinking limited run. say 18. 4 for the council, 4 for the Devs and 10 up for grabs. Maybe straight up sell 5 and auction the other 5? Trades in 888. Each would be unique, inspired by/based on the coin octopus. We've got a artist on board and each would be signed and numbered. When the first one is made we'll share pictures.

Still interested in a glass, at the right price. Any idea how much 888 for one?

It's not finalised at the moment, but we're thinking 15,000 888 to Buy 1 of 5 or put in a bid for 1 of the 5 auctioned. 5 highest bids win. This way people that really want them can still get hold of them hopefully. If 888 hits 10k satoshis next week it would obviously be less. Also if anyone had a particular type of glass in mind we could look into it. And like I said when we've got something to show we'll put up pics.

I love the OctoCoin community and the whole coin in general and have been trying to promote it to anyone I talk too

I am a firm believer in OCTOcoin as a longterm investment which in the cryptoworld is usually unheard of cause of all the shit pump and dump coins! But I can't wait till the real traders realize that this coin is solid and legit and that it's one of the very few ALTcoins that will actually stick around and be here long term. I do however feel that come September if not earlier that more marketing and promoting of this coin needs to be released to expand the community even larger. I'm not complaining right now cause of the price of the coin and knowing that it is ridiculously undervalued and is gonna easily be worth at least 25k sat one day! Anyways happy trading today everyone and remember to get those votes out to Mintpal and spread the good news of the OctoCoin

Thanks for listening!

Yessir.

An exchange typically doesn't care about the long term value of any coin. They make money off of fees. If the crypto community continues to support P & D coins, then exchanges will continue to add them because that's how they make money.

That's the downfall of a free market sometimes. But, I think in the long run, when Octo starts their marketing campaign and some of the applications are released you'll see more interest. Depending on how well the apps work and are marketed, if you see the demand from customers then you will def see a rise in the value of the coin.

To me it's exciting that the price has stayed this low this long. I mean I was disappointed at the low amount of Octo I got when the price was sitting at a penny. Now i'm back to almost double what I bought last time.

Eventually this coin will rise. It's only a matter of time. For now I'm going to enjoy buying as much as possible since I stopped mining. When it does hit I want to be holding as much as I can afford to.

Back down to 11 on Mintpal.

I think we are going to have to accept that whilst support here for Octo is strong and that we all get what a game changer it could be, that for whatever reason, this is not the case for the wider alt-coin community.

This can and will change but we'll have a hard time increasing our voting power enough in 7 weeks by convincing the fickle majority of something which they still don't get after 4 months. They have no stake in Octo so there is no incentive for them to vote for us over the latest P&D. That said, it's probably a good thing because if those are the people we attract at this stage then the P&D mentality will come with them.

I don't think it's a lost cause though, when elements of Octohub come online the interest and volume will come no matter what exchange we're listed on and others, Mintpal included, will pick us up. In the meantime, back to accumulation mode, next target 1.5 million.

You may be right but I think (now more than ever) we still have a chance at making a good show to the top before the deadline. No bots and no paid votes gives us a nice leg up. I am only giving you a rebuttal so we keep our heads up and keep voting. It doesn't take much for some folks to get discouraged Wink

That's a good point, we should definitely still aim for as high as we can get. For all we know Mintpal may decide to take the top 5 in the last round. Personally I'm more frustrated that Mintpal don't see the opportunity in front of them and just add Octo already!

I still have the 11k or so I managed to mine at launch with relatively low hashpower (1.4 MH for the first few days, then 5.8 MH for the last 2 days of 888 coins per block).

I wish there was an X11 multipool that paid out in 888. I'll probably have to wait till late fall to switch back to scrypt and continue mining Octo.

I'm pretty sure fusion hash is setting up such a pool, look back a few pages and see what they have said about it

also Edric said he was trying to setup a multi pool that paid out in 888, he also mentioned it a few pages back

Vote, vote, capcha , capcha. It's radicoulous.

As I sit at my desk at our national IT company, I think to myself, "How much trouble would I get in if my boss stepped into my cube and saw me putting together a picture of a bunny?" Maybe he'd feel sorry for me because it only has 3 pieces... Roll Eyes
