1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [888] [SCRYPT] OctoCoin ◦ The Power of Eight ◦ Don't Blink on: October 20, 2014, 11:51:15 PM
Saw this, thought of octocoin:

http://www.businessinsider.com/average-shareholder-in-apple-supplier-gtat-pleads-with-bankruptcy-court-2014-10

The series of events aren’t the same, but the helplessness in this small investor’s letter is how I feel vs. the actions so far of the octocoin developers.

The letter writer stands to lose far more on GTAT than I will on octocoin, and I hope far more than anyone will on octocoin. I feel terrible for him.

What hit me as most painfully similar to octocoin?

He’s a small investor who will lose money, like me, because he believed in an organization that ultimately proved extremely unworthy of his trust, and like me, he’s powerless to do anything about it.

Yes. I feel exactly this way.

Brain, I’m seeing more great murraycoin tweets on twitter. Thank you.

Sons_of_Crypto thank you for the information.

I really hope the new website launches soon. Reading back in this thread you’d think it would.

I’ve spent more time following another coin where the developers have delivered nothing, so I am very frustrated. I really want to see developers follow through on their claims.

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.

Is there not going to be a dev update until November? What about the new website?

Thank you for your hard work, bbad!

I found this coin from another coins thread and I agree. Great work!

When does the new website show up to back up that great work?

See the Reddit crypto news today?

http://www.coindesk.com/reddit-50-million-new-cryptocurrency/

Don’t see how this affects octocoin directly, and I don’t think reddit is launching this anytime soon, but stuff like this is what I mean when I say that the opportunity for octocoin won’t be around forever. Things change. New ideas are launching. There is an opportunity for a great and innovative coin now but the devs can’t let the opportunity pass.

Hopefully they aren’t. I am feeling optimistic about recent developments

The devs have been posting more
There’s been a lot more buying on bittrex which is pushing the price up
Network hashrate was up last I checked

So the opportunity is there and I really hope all the recent developments are leading up to some great launches for octocoin.

in a case where we cannot deliver our first release within the next couple weeks, we will take the advice some of you have given and release a preview via a medium TBD.

I'm happy the devs are posting again.

Now it's back to a couple weeks like before.

I truly hope they start following through on what they are posting.

I hope the devs will read this:

Devs, if you actually have things to release related to octocoin, PLEASE do not wait too long to release them. NOW seems like a great moment for a legit and innovative altcoin to rise above the rest of the mess. But the world is always changing. Don’t wait and wait and wait and sit on your millions of lines of code and miss the opportunity.

as a show of intent and good faith, we understand the urgent need to release some of these projects publicly even if they aren't 100% where we want them to be. We are working on assembling a hard timeline to make available to the public with penalties for key missed dates.

Your concerns are heard, we are with you 100%, and we have forcefully broken free from the bulk of constraints previously preventing us from keeping the public communication pipeline more open.

give us a couple weeks to prove ourselves to you and become a part of history.

We have delivered 6 months of hype - it is time to deliver on the hype.

Who writes that and then dissapears again?

I’m still shocked about the whole thing. I’m angry with myself for believing in these developers.

There are a lot of terrible altcoins. Hundreds. There’s a lot wrong in crypto right now. Octocoin is part of the problem, which I hate to say. But it’s true.

The way the devs went about it is different. They wrote those really great messages every so often. But that doesn’t change the fact that the devs have contributed to the mess of altcoins, at the expense of our time and money.

I check the board occasionally because I hope I’m wrong. But I can’t honestly say I hold out much hope anymore.

I guess I hope that the devs see this, they do have stuff to release, and decide they want to be part of the solution with altcoins and not part of the problem.

you know, it's all part of the game. only invest what you can afford to lose.

See, I hear that. And I've done that. But that doesn't give the devs a free pass to act without regard for us.

It will affect my life if I lose what I've invested. I'll be OK, but still, aspects of my life will be affected.

After all the devs have written, I'm just at a loss at how they are acting. I don't understand them. They don't seem to be trying to cheat us really, I don't think, but they do seem to not care about us at all, despite what they write.

Does anyone know if this account was set up by the devs?

https://twitter.com/OctoEuro

Edit: Just noticed it says that it's a Fan Community. Gah. Not progress.

We're just about at the "couple weeks" the devs mentioned in their last post. It's either today or tomorrow. Will we hear from them in that timeframe? Even better, will we see any results of their work?

I'm pessimistic, but it'd be great to be wrong about that.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [888] [SCRYPT] OctoCoin ◦ The Power of Eight ◦ Don't Blink on: September 04, 2014, 07:56:07 PM
Yeah, I think bittrex only shows 50 in the order book. At least that's what I'm seeing. And that big order would be just beyond #50. I'm not 100% sure about this either.

The big wall is gone, so news should be coming out soon I guess? Tongue

The big wall could still be there, just quite not showing up in the list of however many bittrex is showing.

...my gut tells me these guys are the real deal...

Mine too. And the devs last update was really solid…

… but good messages in this forum has never been their issue.

So now, more than ever, it’s time for them to come through on what they’ve said.

They used words like “a couple weeks” and “urgent” need to release things.

I really hope they live up to what they’ve been saying, both from the beginning, and in their most recent message.

We’ve invested various amounts of time, energy and money into Octocoin, based on claims from the developers.

It’s been eleven days since we were told the first app was expected to be released, and no app has been launched, and no news has come from the devs.

Must they tell us why nothing’s been released? No. No one can make them.

But I think the developers have a moral obligation to be more upfront about what’s going on.

Is there a block explorer?

Exciting! I'm really psyched to be involved with a coin with such (at least seemingly) smart and rational people / teams involved, too.

I have a bunch of octo, but I may need to get some MRY now.

So glad I stumbled across fusionhash a while back.

Tadaaa! It's not perfect, but I'm happy with what I got done in an hours time

yeah that's pretty awesome

Any update on Fusionhash's possible x11 multipool for Octo?

Also wondering about this, and curious about the future of octo in general. Now that the fork’s behind us, it’d be great to hear what’s coming up, and when it is, that’s going to set octo apart.
