in ICOs many people are waiting...and then buy in when the ICO is about to end. I have seen that many times.

Wow...is this real? Nice to see the Octo is still alive!

Hi all...just invested 2 BTC in the ICO. Did some research and this sounds like a great opportunity to join a promising project!

I have a question, who decided on the 500,000 nodes threshold for forging? Shouldn't it be a tiered system where more % is earned based on the amount of connectivity the user is donating + amount of node within their tier? Tiers being similar to the tax brackets.
If 500k is the starting point, doesn't this just parallel our current shitty money system where the rich get richer and there is a gaping hole of a middle class? I would think a tiered system would be more fair, or useful to all. Correct me if I'm wrong or missing the big picture all together.
I thought about this too...and I think you are right

NODE deaded? Developers not seen in months  Silkroad not logged in long time.. Keep up the FUD

I'll put a vote in for syntaks, dev for NEOScoin
I'm giving my vote for syntaks too!
|
|
|
I'll dump my Octos so hard, they will hit the ocean's floor!  P.S.: tip for everyone who wants no more anonymous, illusive devs...check out NEOS...Syntaks is one of the best programmers out there and really cares about the community. Constant updates, a dedicated team and a innovative php-wallet with real working in-wallet trading...and the community acts really nice and mature...just like in the old Octo days.

Hello,
newbie NEOS supporter here. I really don't get why the price of NEOS is being deliberately held down. This is such a great coin and a awesome community/dev! I was so fed up with scams/broken promises/lack of communication and now it seems I have found a safe haven. Just started to buy NEOS and I will promote this coin heavily. I'm a victim of OctoCoin (I lost quite a bit of money), which had a great mature community and I will tell all the folks there to switch to NEOS.
Your a smart man  I hope so

Each stake will be subject to a conversion fee.
How much is the conversion fee? Is it payable in bitcoin? Does the conversion fee pay to convert a testnet stake to a realnet stake? Really good questions 
|
|
|
How much does it cost to claim 1 stake?

Great to see that sth. is been done right now! Many, many thanks! Was there any communication with the original devs? Did Edric get a hold of them?

lol awakening in progress ?  Let's put it like this...I believe some of us have cancelled their trip to Vegas in march

I don't really see a point in taking over the coin. Without the promised apps there is nothing special about it. Even if we get it back on Bittrex...there will be a huge dump and then it's dead. As for the 'inner circle' stuff etc...this is just another kick in the face of the community. If we were asked for support at a earlier point I would have thrown in money and time for Octo. But after all the accusations about the community made by BHolzer...I don't think there is a possibility for a professional business partnership. The whole Octocoin project looked really promising, but now it seems like it's been a amateurish try all the time. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I don't believe it will happen.

Just an update on the Bittrex situation: we have received additional details from Richie and are digging into the issue. For those concerned about OctoCoin potentially being delisted from Bittrex, here are Richie's comments:
"Don't worry about delisting... I'm more concerned about this problem because it might impact a lot more than just octo."
Basically, as some of you have already gathered, some of the transaction comments are apparently being overwritten which is how Bittrex manages payouts. They froze 888 trading and put up a "delisting" warning both to prevent additional repeats and to expedite action on our part. While we have never experienced this issue nor seen reports of any issues until now, not all services operate in the same manner. It's possible this is an issue that has been corrected in the latest Bitcoin Core source code and, if that is the case, we will ensure the fix is implemented and release our new wallet ahead of schedule. Regardless, Bittrex may want to consider a new method for verifying withdrawals to avoid this potential issue with other currencies. We will get it all straightened out.
And this has happened again. This only happens with this wallet so at this point we request an octocoin fix  It is not an user forceable scenario but to provide more details, if ALL of these conditions are met, we end up double paying out twice: * If we send a withdrawal request * If it times out before returning a txid * If the send subsequently succeeds * If the send uses input from a previously conflicted transaction What happens is that the send succeeds, but uses the comment from the previous conflicted transaction. This causes us to not see a payment match and we resubmit. There is no reason why a sendtoaddress call made with a comment is replaced with a comment from a transaction from over 6 months ago. Please figure this out and solve this issue. At this time, we will be shutting down the wallet for deposits/withdrawals until we can find a solution. Thanks, richie@bittrex this was richie's explanation regarding the wallet problem

I'm still laughing about the statement "the community got greedy"...oh my god...as if this community was the cause for the downfall of OctoCoin...we bought all the dumps, we spent our hashing power...all we asked for was a little communication...everyone was preparing to invest more and hold...Now we are to blame? NO F-WORD WAY! If a business fails, it's nearly always the fault of the ones running it! And just so you know...my business is running for 12 years now, and I ain't no little script-kiddie. BHolzer you sound pretty arrogant for a 31 year old!
But you are right about the personal threats...that's not acceptable! Whoever did this: stop it!

Not talking to us investors/gamblers/whatever is childish/unprofessional behaviour too...1 single post every week or so could have kept this community calm and excited...'proven entrepreneurs' don't act like that. That's also a problem why crypto isn't taken serious in the business world. Too many promises which aren't kept.

This thing is atleast abandoned.
Wake the ferk up. I just cant believe some attitudes. Letting the whole Coin die , just because there is a small chance that it might be legit backed up by someone else ?
Only Chance i see is to prepare a well done Community Takeover during this bs.
That guy.... he aint coming back and a serious company would have atleast an eye on "their" coin. Jezz.
I agree...I've written this one off

Bholzer...if you're watching this...just tell us: Is this project abandoned or still alive? If it's abandoned, just admit it!!! We need an answer, since some need to know if they can write off their investment or not. TELL US!
