The coin has barely been out a week and everyone acts like everything is falling apart because it isn't on a big exchange yet. Almost all exchanges are driven by community voting now so we all have as much pull as anybody else. I've been voting on MintPal every hour for 2 days now but we're so far down the list that it almost seems better to wait until we're up for voting on Cryptsy before shelling out BTC for votes (I'll continue to get my hourly votes in though.) Everybody should contact Cryptsy and ask them to add us - they do claim that some coins will be added without even having to go through the voting process. Everyone can't just sit back twiddling their thumbs waiting for the devs to take care of everything to make them rich. Put in some effort! Every coin is the same thing - a bunch of miners that feel entitled and complain about progress. You will notice that the people complaining never actually do anything to help they just want to make their profit with as little effort as possible. I've exchanged a few messages with one of the devs of this coin and they are working on some awesome software releases exclusively for 888 and letting the community take the lead on getting listed on exchanges. I'm sure members of the dev team will chip in BTC if we can get things closer. It's funny because I'm dealing with this same situation with all 3 coins I'm invested in right now. Awesome coins with great devs and a lot of potential but communities that consist primarily of people that would rather complain about progress than help out. I know that doesn't apply to all of you and even I could have done more to help but now I'm all-in here. This coin had a pretty huge launch and a ton of people are holding OctoCoins - lets start moving this thing along!

After our first donation and a couple other surprises things will be looking looking good for Einsteinium, the best part about this coin is the currency over time will have more buying power and help science even more due to increased per coin value. It's just pure win for everyone.

 

The dev just got done saying the coin has only been out for 60 hours lol. The OctoCoin subreddit is becoming more active and there is supposedly a tip bot on the way. There are quite a few people tweeting about it and 888 is getting votes on several exchanges. There are 25 26 pages in this thread and the dev just got done saying it's been in the top 5 in average network hash power since it launched (for scrypt coins.) When you figure there are over 150 active scrypt coins top 5 isn't bad for being just over 2 days since 888 was released with limited info. My guess is the early bonus reward blocks are promotion enough for right now. There have been 8000 wallets downloaded in just over 2 days? That's a crazy number. FusionHash reported over 4000 registrations at their 888 pool? That's nutty man. What the hell is it with you people in such a rush to pull out all of the stops immediately? Are you that desperate to dump your coins that you're going to sit in here and whine that things aren't moving fast enough after 2 days? If you aren't happy with where things are at maybe you could put some effort in if you stand to gain from it. I know I plan to start chipping in with community building soon. My guess is all of these questions will be answered with time and if you are too impatient to wait more than 2 days for everything to be fully developed and marketed you don't deserve the rewards - don't let the door hit you on the way out. After the block rewards drop it will become more critical to begin other promotions only an idiot would expect every single promotion to be run at once immediately at launch. These guys claim they didn't build 888 to be a pump-and-dump so if that's what you're looking for you are in the wrong place. Maybe it's all bullshit and there is nothing here just like every other coin - who knows - all I know is these guys are well connected and 888 seems to be cruising along from where I'm sitting. They launched with a great website, great wallet, great pools, have the best looking block explorer I've ever seen. These current blocks are so huge that right now it's not even a gamble to mine - even if all of the devs are dead everybody mining right now stands to make a nice profit.

Sorry to rant but I just can't stand impatient whiners that have to shit all of over everything. The crypto world is full of them and they always end up poor because they are horrible decision makers. Eventually they will be weeded out.

I'm loving this coin so far and everybody I talk to that has been mining it seems super cool. Profitability on everything else right now is a joke and barely covers the power bill so I might as well take a chance on something that could be big. Yes info and updates have been thin - who cares? At least wait a week before throwing a tantrum.
