Are any of you guys into staking on raspberry pi / hardware staking devices? One of the things I was thinking of building for Octane was a screen in the wallet that would auto-detect and show you stats from any staking wallets on your local network like raspberry pi wallets instead of having to use a web interface on the device.

Dev any update about an exchange for octane?
Still waiting on an exchange, sent a tweet to @CryptoCurrencyX maybe C-CEX would like us. |

PoS blocks are creating for me again now...
Yeah they are coming in regularly now. Strange coincidence though, it's brought up after days of some of us not getting any blocks and right there and then it starts working. I think it is all about the coin age, that's why after the initial buzz when there are less coins and it is easier to stake, i am usually waiting 1 week to build up enough age again and be able to get Pos blocks With POS 2.0 you don't build up age, you are better off running the wallet continuously. |

The Octane Currency MovementDigital Complementary Currency, High Performance Modern SolutionOctane is a high performance proof-of-stake cryptocurrency based on the Bitcoin protocol combined with the Proof-of-Stake protocol. Octane differs from Bitcoin and coins like Litecoin in that it has a fast block time of 30 seconds, which translates into a fast network with fast transaction confirmations, and it uses proof-of-stake as the consensus mechanism which is environmentally friendly and incentivizes users. The Octane codebase is continually optimized for speed and silky smooth wallet operation.
There are many cryptocurrencies which have emerged since the release of Bitcoin. Many are abandoned or highly volatile, making it hard to discern levels of quality and longevity. Octane has been devised to solve many of the problems seen in existing cryptocurrency codebases and to foster an ecosystem through better positioning, marketing, and economic design. Global Systemic Risks"In the absence of the gold standard there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation." - Alan Greenspan
"Real monetary reform will only come after a major currency crisis hits." - Ron Paul The financial collapse of 2008 in traditional markets was a shocking wake up call. But in many ways severe global systemic risk still exists in the traditional financial markets. Worldwide economies are intertwined and interdependent in ways that connect seemingly minute issues in one part of the world to larger reactions in other parts of the world. It is inevitable that a more severe global economic reset is coming within our lifetime. What will you do in the face of capital controls, bank holidays, depositor "haircuts", and the plethora of other levers that will be pulled to attempt to provide stabilization. We very well could see the re-emergence of "depression scrips" to fill in the gaps left by a shortage of cash. Looking at current events, it is clear that the state of the entire world is in a very precarious position. What can you do? You can diversify into metals like gold and silver, and attempt to get physical delivery fulfilled. But metals are not easily tradeable and require physical storage and security. You can stockpile cash, which requires physical storage and security, but this may have its own issues with capital controls, governments clearly on a track to practically ban the use of physical cash, not to mention the risks of devaluation and hyperinflation.Cryptocurrency As A Complementary Currency HedgeCryptocurrencies have emerged as experimental digital cash that is centrally controlled by no one. Decentralization, with no central bank arbitrarily inflating money supply at will, puts you the user in control. Cryptocurrencies and digital tokens represent a potential hedge against global risks. Cryptocurrencies are easily tradeable electronically over the internet, and can be made easily tradeable locally through mobile devices, terminals, and even physical solutions like paper wallets. "Complementary currencies" are currencies that typically emerge locally or regionally as a way to facilitate local bartering and trade of goods and services, filling in gaps left by cash shortages. They are most common in emerging markets but also exist in some first world countries, generally going unnoticed. Cryptocurrency is an ideal mechanism to act as a complementary currency. Defined in software, digital currencies can be extended, integrated with payment systems and other software, and easily verified by anyone through the blockchain protocol. Because cryptocurrency and the design of the Bitcoin protocol is trustless, the blockchain provides some level of insulation from the potentially unpredictable activities of central banks and world economies.Bitcoin Vs. AlternativesThe Bitcoin protocol was a paradigm shift, one that will change the future of money forever. But, Bitcoin may not be suitable for all purposes. Politics, block sizes, confirmation times, speed, development direction, centralization of mining...there are many variables that are moving Bitcoin in a direction that leaves room for alternatives with differing specifications and operating parameters to fill in gaps or enable some use cases more efficiently. Like biological evolution, alternative cryptocurrencies emerge, some with better innovations then others, some die off, others survive and thrive given a nurturing environment. It is clear that enabling the potential for success is dependent on both providing the right tools for users and capturing network effects over time.Octane EvolutionThe initial development roadmap to build out and evolve the Octane network consists of both internal protocol enhancements to optimize the network as well as external construction to jumpstart the ecosystem. In addition to software, the evolution of Octane will be as much about spreading the word and awareness, and aligning products and services with the needs of the market.Headers FirstOctane will be the first proof-of-stake coin to support headers first, the optimized block syncing mechanism developed in Bitcoin Core.Octane NodesAn optimized masternode implementation in Octane that allows users to put up coins as collateral and acts as a sort of savings bond, entitling the users to a piece of the network stake reward. The savings bond effect acts as a stabilizing force in the cryptoeconomy and has proven to be a popular incentive for users.Open Assets ProtocolOctane will implement the Open Assets protocol for the creation and transfer of colored coins on the blockchain. The beauty of Open Assets is in its simplicity, and it will open the door for Octane to pursue things that other coins like Via have tried but stalled on.XOR^2More details on what the exciting XOR^2 is and how it works will be revealed in the future.LETS Local Exchange Trading SystemThe development roadmap of Octane leads up to the implementation of a cryptocurrency equivalent of the traditional LETS system (Local Exchange Trading System) used by non-crypto complementary currencies. LETS was invented in the early 1980's and has been digitized by a few products that essentially act as a database. Octane will build out a cryptocurrency equivalent of the LETS concept, further cementing its position as a digital complementary currency.

I've updated the Windows wallet download link for version 1.3. This version optimizes lock ordering in the wallet and solves the periodic wallet UI "freezing" and CPU spiking that was happening after winning a stake block or sending coins, common in all recent BlackCoin based coins. Now it is silky smooth with no freezes/pauses in the GUI.

Just curious why in the source code the blake2.h was left out....? If i may ask.
Originally Octane was setup to link against the library version of blake2s "libb2" downloadable from the blake2 website. I realize this has been confusing to some people, exchange wallet wranglers, people trying to self-build the Windows wallet... so I have updated the github and integrated the blake2s reference implementation directly and updated the .pro and unix makefile. If you still want to use the library version you can, but you'll have to revert the edits to the pro/makefile. The difference with the library version is that the configure script will auto-detect special features of your CPU and enable various optimizations. For most people this doesn't really matter. Now you can pull from github and there is no external dependency on libb2, you can build as usual and it will "just work". This should make it much easier for people who were confused by the library. |

New Windows wallet posted v1.2 & github updated, fixes CPU pegging in octane-opencon connections thread, turns off debug.log logging by default unless debug=1 is on to reduce disk thrashing.

if the dev wont show up we need to do something..
it is shame to waste new algo, new coin like this.
if you have any ideas for future changes post it here
if dev shows up my message will be removed.
Chill bro, good stuff coming & we pushed some nice optimizations to github and solved cpu spike few users reported. |

Anything else happening here?
Seems to be very little activity for a brand new coin with new tech....
Yes  Responded to your PM but didn't hear back... let me know. Thx. |

Have exchange about this coin?
Hopefully not, pretty much one person has a boatload of the product I dunno about that, we actually have had a lot of connections on the seeds etc. since launch, definitely a lot of people were on mining via the wallet, and I've held 80+ peers for the duration. That's a pretty good sign to me, compared to some other recent launches. If "bob" invested the resources to get his hash, that's cool, I see it as a vote of confidence/interest that someone was willing to go to the trouble. |

Proof of Stake difficulty keeps rising like a mother fucker.
Anyone have more than 1 peer or can share a peer?
This Blackcoin code base doesn't seem to share peer info very well... A few of my wallets only have 1 peer each, but another has 14! Try these 188.166.95.81 104.238.133.29 46.27.9.96 178.62.199.175 5.9.56.229 119.52.99.172 46.72.114.190 74.111.225.51 77.131.12.229 37.59.21.58 62.30.194.230 79.117.7.45 69.178.106.243 76.115.58.143 Noticed that, maybe some networking changes were over-optimized, will try some things and see if it can be made more better. |

Windows wallet crashing...
It does that the 1st time you run it sometimes, but run it again and is ok. |

OCTANE (OCTN) - Octane is a high performance crypto currency experience designed for speed and using the BLAKE2s hashing algorithm. Octane is designed to provide interesting and involving mining dynamics while also enabling the creation of fast transaction processing and remittance solutions. A FinTech 2.0 platform intended to provide a testbed for enabling technologies that are not yet finding adoption on top of Bitcoin. Instead of loading up the wallet with useless features, the approach is to build an optimized core around which layers of the ecosystem can enable use cases.

Octane features a fast 30 second block time, which means approximately 2,880 blocks per day. The PoW reward schedule is an inverse parabola designed to reward both early and late miners, so everyone has an opportunity to participate. The proof-of-work mining period will run until block 11,520, after which Octane will become purely proof-of-stake which is energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Building OctaneOctane no longer requires libb2 for BLAKE2 support, it has been integrated directly into the source tree. You can simply pull from github and build as usual. If you do choose to go with the library version, note that Octane is not using the "p" versions of the algorithms, so openmp support should be disabled (pass --disable-openmp to configure). Pass --enable-static to build the statically linkable version of the library. More information about the BLAKE2 algorithms can be found at https://blake2.net/. The libb2 library can be downloaded from there as well ( https://blake2.net/libb2-0.97.tar.gz).
