Yes there are Mac OS X Wallets and Windows Installers, the whole thing, done right! I'm not just some guy who's copying and pasting code.  I spent the time and effort using my skill and knowledge to build a full quality release.  The wallets below were built using the Gitian build process, the same process used for Bitcoin releases.

• Windows 64 bit - 32 bit
• Windows (zip) 64 bit - 32 bit
• Linux (tgz) 64 bit - 32 bit
• Mac OS X dmg - tar.gz
• FreeBSD (package) 10.x 64 bit - 9.x 64 bit

Known issues

It's very much possible that the words Bitcoin and Litecoin may still appear in the UI, logs, or console. If you happen to come across one of this mistakes please file an issue at Github.

Due to Octocoin's fluctuations in difficulty it's possible that new blocks may not be generated for more than 24 hours. As a result your clients may get stuck on "Octocoin is downloading blocks..." on startup. If your client is stuck in this state you won't be able to use the RPC mining functions even though you actually have the latest block. To work around it, first make sure you upgrade to Octocoin Core version 10.4, then pass the command line parameter:

Code:

-maxtipage=<n>

Where '<n>' is the value (in seconds) greater than 24 hours.  So you may use something like:

Code:

-maxtipage=432000

 

To specify 5 days (increase as needed).

You can also add that to your configuration file if needed:

Code:

maxtipage=432000

Wish you good luck with this takeover.

May Good Luck Be With You, Octopussy

Can i withdraw from bittrex?

[myfirst]

Can i withdraw from bittrex?

Octocoin is currently not traded at Bittrex (or anywhere else for that matter).  Bittrex once had an Octocoin market but it was closed down due to a vulnerability in the legacy wallet.

You'll have to notify them of the new wallet and see if they will now allow withdrawals.

[MbccompanyX]

Will keep an eye on the coin, usually when there is a takeover who knows how it can end, anyway good luck with doing the full job myfirst

[MickyCOB]

Sounds interesting!! Will keep a watch on the Ann page

[Zetacoin Express]

Lets not forget that about 20 Million Octocoin were burned

There is a bounty for a website, and two other for anyone that can recover and transfer the old Octocoin domain.
For the time being we need to come up with a clever alternative to octocoin.org.

Any ideas?

[NoobKidOnTheBlock]

Couple questions for OCTOcoin.... 1st with the octocoin.securepayment.cc mining way when do the blocks you mined finally show up in your wallet? Also for the life of me I can't figure out how to just straight solo mine this coin??? I've tried everything like this is what is in my conf file:
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
gen=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=22888
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
addnode=octocoin.securepayment.cc
addnode=162.243.144.135
addnode=162.243.149.125
addnode=162.243.207.204

and then this is what my .bat file for cgminer 3.7.2 looks like:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://localhost:22888 -u user -p pass --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=800,chips=5 --hotplug 10
but everytime I run the program to solo mine it keeps telling me that the url is incorrect or something but I've solo mined plenty of Scrypt coins and with the same .bat file pretty much everytime with of course changing the rpcport and user and password lol

If anyone has any idea what I am missing so that I can solo mine this coin without using the miningpool site that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

With the octocoin.securepayment.cc mining way when do the blocks you mined finally show up in your wallet?

The few blocks I mined got paid about 1 day later.  You should ask them to clarify the payment schedule since I don't run that site. 
http://mining.securepayment.cc/help.php

Also for the life of me I can't figure out how to just straight solo mine this coin???

Hmm... Try changing this:

Code:

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

To, this:

Code:

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1/32

If that does not help, post debug.log.

What should I do with my Octocoins in Bittrex ?

Please contact Bittrex support and let them know of the new wallet.
https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I encourage everyone else to to do the same.

Until I can get a domain, website, and block explorer up.  We will need to rely on https://www.blockexperts.com/888 as our blockchain.  Unfortunately it's been broken for more than 2 weeks and are unresponsive.  Please message them here:

If is exactly what they told is that this Octocoin doesn't match with the old one, and i think that is strange if the dev wanted to revive the original one.....

[NoobKidOnTheBlock]

So good to see people mining Octocoin steady and getting this coin back in action That's always sweet when an old coin comes back and people start mining it again.  As for if this is a different Octocoin then what is the total coin supply for this OctoCoin?

As for if this is a different Octocoin then what is the total coin supply for this OctoCoin?

Maybe he thinks that this reborned OctoCoin is different from the other he found on Bittrex.... It could even be a overlook done from the other guy....

I got some clarification from Bittrex, the "Octocoin" they are referring to is the Counterparty asset "OCTO" which is something totally different.

Anyway...

Buying 10,000 ocotcoin for 0.001 BTC, pm me if interested

[NoobKidOnTheBlock]

As for if this is a different Octocoin then what is the total coin supply for this OctoCoin?

I only know of one Octocoin.  No clue what 'other' one Bittrex is referring to.

Maybe he thinks that this reborned OctoCoin is different from the other he found on Bittrex.... It could even be a overlook done from the other guy....

I got some clarification from Bittrex, the "Octocoin" they are referring to is the Counterparty asset "OCTO" which is something totally different.

Anyway...
Working on a website now.

NICE!!! Ya get a website going again for this coin and let's get more people interested and involved with bringing this baby back to life Cheers

Can you help me out. I get this error after i run ./configure

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no
configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing, Octocoin Core requires this library for wallet functionality (--disable-wallet to disable wallet functionality)

I have libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev both on my system already, i'm able to compile most other coins.

Hey thanks didn't catch that.  Wallet compiled successfully low and behold i have 15k octocoin in my old wallet .   

Thanks for updating i'll be throwing some hash power towards this project.

AFAIK octo coin moved to be a Counterparty token
and there was a swap
and could earn coins by participating in foldingcoin's merged folding@home, i still have coins in my counterparty wallet

Cant it be hard-coded into the octocoin client ?

something like xfer all coins from X address to Y address after block #whatever and force the xfer into the block chain

everyone would have to run the same client anyone who isnt will be on the wrong chain/fork but gives a chance to bring those coins back to the community and can do something interesting with them.

I mean less coins the better right makes em more valuable but still would be a cool idea something different that i havent seen in the crypto world

That's what we call a 'hardfork' and you want to avoid those unless it's absolutely needed.  

I mean less coins the better right makes em more valuable but still would be a cool idea something different that i havent seen in the crypto world

I understand where you are coming from with this idea, I too hate the thought of something being lost forever.  That's why I decided to revive Octocoin.  

Lets say the community decides do this using one of these two methods:

• 1. Rollback the block chain to the point before those coins were burned and erase all the transaction since that point.  
• 2. The burned coins remain lost forever.  The money supply is increased by an amount equal to the number of burned coins.  

#1 is done with a hardfork and a checkpoint.
#2 is done by creating a block reward equal to the amount of burned coins with a coinbase rule that states the reward must go to a specific address.

The first option goes against the very purpose of why a blockchain exists.  Octocoin would instantly loose all credibility as a crypto currency.  Crypto is decentralized and built on zero trust.  Both of these options would potentially place trust in a centralized authority.  The zero trust principal that Bitcoin is based on will always assume that a central authority has the potential to violate trust.

The best way forward for Octocoin is to forget about those burned coins.  Accept that they are lost forever and that is a good thing.

Vote this up on cryptsy.

https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes/# and vote for octo 888 to get listed.  Everyone gets 1 free vote then you can vote with cryptsy points or bitcoin.

1AEnN7gdBFLj8cD52jotepbMz4sqKPDcEg that is the cryptsy Octo 888 voting address every 0.0002 you deposit is considered 1 vote.

I think you need something like 65k+ votes to actually get it listed currently sitting @ 1250 votes.

Also coin needs more nodes i think the pool and I are the only nodes running......occasionally another node comes online but after a shortwhile disconnects.

Excellent work, this a great first start.  Lets get those free votes in and raise awareness.  More users amounts to more nodes.
My next step is to try and get an Elecrtum wallet for OctoCoin.

Here's a tip:
If you want to help, but don't like the idea of paying for votes. Head over to the Bitcoin faucet list on FaucetBOX and use the voting address.

This is due the Octocoin not changing the pchMessageStart value to something unique.  I plan on doing this once most of the network has upgraded to the new client.  Otherwise we risk forking the block chain if it done too soon.

no that's where some people are. some members chose to burn their coins, it's their coins, they can do whatever they want with them.

i'm talking about the original 888 coin, hence this thread.

last i heard bittrex suspended trading because the wallet was broken, since it's supposedly been fixed.

if anything, burning 20,000,000 of 88,000,000 888 coins only made the remaining 888 more valuable.

My wallet won't sync anymore for some odd reason? Any ideas why that might be?

Until the DNS seed servers are properly setup it will be necessary to manually add nodes:

Code:

octocoin.securepayment.cc
188.165.3.6
178.62.187.119
54.223.76.165
93.157.47.8
73.28.52.171
70.51.34.92

in your Qt Wallet, go to the debug window, then 'console' tab.  Type in

Code:

addnode <address> add

Replace '<address>' with one node entry from above.  Then hit enter.  Repeat for each node.  For example,

Code:

addnode octocoin.securepayment.cc add
addnode 188.165.3.6 add
addnode 93.157.47.8 add

There are two issues blocking the deployment of the DNS seed servers.  First off, I do not have control of the octocoin.org domain.   I you look at the source code, the current DNS seed servers are s1.octocoin.org and s2.octocoin.org. 

It's easy enough to change that, but I have not decided if I will just use another domain and release an updated client, or wait and hope to register the octocoin.org domain when it expires later this year.  Secondly, there are just too few active nodes to make it useful/worthwhile to setup a DNS seed.

well I had some BTC in cryptsy that i'd donate towards 2 2BTC bounty, but that's probably lost now.

2 BTC isn't a lot. it's like $800, the market cap of this coin is at least 100 BTC at the low end...

someone should organize a way to donate towards this, i'm not sure on the best way to move forward with that, a trustless system would be needed, but i've seen it done before

Do they guarantee no delisting for a specific amount of time ?

[OCTOPARTY]

Paying to be on an exchange is a bad idea, unless they guarantee no de-listing.. but even then. They are already going to make money on transaction and withdrawal fees. 2 BTC is a hefty price to be listed IMO.

The network is very low on active nodes and it possible many of those active nodes do not allow incoming connections.   If someone can design some banners, I'll purchase some ad space.

A mandatory update will be released shortly.  It's important that anyone running a node or client update as soon as possible to prevent a network fork.

[djslick]

ALSO!!!

We should have a resource which shows exactly how many 888 there are in circulation, since about 20 million of them were burned, this means that roughly 1/4 of the total coins that will ever be minted are non-existent.

So how many are there in the wild now? since obviously all the coins have not yet been mined. This only makes it MORE valuable, because it's even MORE rare than being reported.

Also, thanks for the reply Phat.

So I used to mine with GPUs pretty hardcore back in the day, and I've never seen a virus in any miner that I've used, that's why I'm very skeptical. Chrome blocks it, and Windows don't want to open it, I can't remember the name of the virus it detected, but I downloaded from those links in the past and remember scanning them and it popping up with a few nasty things, not just your run-of the-mill PUP stuff, actual viruses.

So I used to mine with GPUs pretty hardcore back in the day, and I've never seen a virus in any miner that I've used, that's why I'm very skeptical. Chrome blocks it, and Windows don't want to open it, I can't remember the name of the virus it detected, but I downloaded from those links in the past and remember scanning them and it popping up with a few nasty things, not just your run-of the-mill PUP stuff, actual viruses.

If I had money, I'd buy a cheap Scrypt ASIC to help, any recommendations?

I have a few Gridseed G-Blades and Zeus x3s that i use for scrypt mining nothing special.  Scrypt asic hardware is getting a bit more difficult to find.  Try ebay.

As far as the mining program having trojan/virus.  When mining programs were first made antivirus programs didn't have them flagged as such.  Because the code for the mining program is open source trojan/virus makers started using parts of the original code in their trojans/virus.  Your antivirus will give you false positives on probably any mining software you download nowadays.

I know https://www.nicehash.com/?p=software#gpu has links to software and im pretty sure if they are offering it to their potential customers they've done their homework to ensure its safe to use but again your a/v may flag it as trojan/virus.

No blocks for over 2 hours now, is there something wrong with the network? Last block 2 hour 22 minute ago...is this normal?

[myfirst]

No blocks for over 2 hours now, is there something wrong with the network? Last block 2 hour 22 minute ago...is this normal?

This is a typical problem with small networks on the current difficulty algorithm, really not much you can do about it except wait it out.  It should become less of an occurrence once the network gets larger and there are more miners.

Iif it continues to happen after the network grows larger, I may consider replacing the difficulty algorithm with Zetacoin's algorithm

[phatkiller]

No blocks for over 2 hours now, is there something wrong with the network? Last block 2 hour 22 minute ago...is this normal?

This is happening because someone is mining on and off.   They jump on drop 80 - 100MH/s mining a ton of blocks until it gets too difficult to solve quickly.  Slowly but surely lower speed miners start hitting blocks.   Difficulty retargets after every block so this can take sometime depending how long it takes to solve, but honestly i think it happens pretty quick with Octocoin.   I've seen some chains go 14-18 hours without mining a block.

Yeah, I remember that first wave of scrypt coins were terribad when a multipool would hit and run them.

Octocoin actually had that problem too in it's early months, I was actually the one who discovered the multipool that was doing it, and struck a deal with the owner to leave it alone (as we were working on implementing the gravity well in a few thousand blocks...) I said I'd devote X amount of hashing power to his pool in return, had to rent some rigs to fulfil, but it bought us the few days we needed to get it fixed.

*also great job to all those active traders on Yobit, let's keep this activity going! I'm doing my part ^_^

[phatkiller]

Multi-algo or Proof of Stake would be nice but that would require a massive overhaul of the code but i'll settle for a PPLNS pool. Hopefully myfirst can fill that position soon and get some help with the coin.  

We definitely need something to attract miners production went from (post halving) ~35,000 octocoin a day to ~8,300 octocoin a day since the on and off hashing.  I'm curious if the decrease in coins mined per day will mess with the difficulty later on down the line....

So far so good @ Yobit I was able to pick up over 5k octo pretty cheap when i compared to my mining costs @ the current difficulty.

[djslick]

Is there a way to fork Octocoin to run on a different hashing algorithm? Like one of the newer ones that can still be mined on a GPU for for alot less power consumption? I'm really not that up-to-date with which algo is best, but it would be nice to contribute with GPUs again. No farm, just let the gamers out there do their part

[djslick]

So it looks like someone is trying to push the price down aggressively. Volume is good, but when the next sell point is 400 sats, why push it down to 100 and put up a 100 sell wall? Someone's trying to scoop this stuff up cheap... I think that 400 satoshis is indicative of it's true value, it would be good to keep it above that. only 20 or so million coins in the wild, and 20 million are gone forever thanks to the burn, octocoin is pretty rare compared with other alts. if anything it's undervalued.

[phatkiller]

Found another block explorer https://prohashing.com/explorer/Octocoin/

I think they may be the pool that's mining OctoCoin on and off

[djslick]

yeah, that's probably the one that's doing those mass sells, would make sense. It's going to be hard to raise the price to something reasonable when the coin is being attacked by a multipool.

From what I see, we could either keep the value artificially low for a while so maybe they remove octo from their pool rotation... Or just get enough hashing power ourselves so we can compete. I'd rather do the latter, but again without a scrypt ASIC there don't seem to be any other alternatives.

I'll gladly donate towards a faucet if someone wants to set it up. I'll throw in 5k.

And the value is low, it's only been listed for a couple weeks. This is the ground floor.

Next step is generating interest with real investors.

There is a faucet setup already http://faucet.securepayment.cc/888  There is another but i can't find/remember where right now.

Myfirst did an amazing job documenting every check out the first two posts of this thread.  Don't stop there check out his site www.octocoinfoundation.org all the info is in there.

My favorite page is http://www.octocoinfoundation.org/resources it lists everything you need to get started link to precompiled wallets(windows, mac.linux), github, faucet, and a detailed guide to on how to submit a request to get OctoCoin 888 listed on various exchanges.

So yesterday I rented 100 MH/s to try and actually get through and mine some coins.  I also had three full nodes up and running.  The three nodes are whitelisted to accept and rebroadcast any and all transactions to and from each other.

Two nodes were in sync with the original block explorer https://chainz.cryptoid.info/octo/ and the only known public pool http://octocoin.securepayment.cc/.  The third node was 23 blocks ahead.  In console on all three I did getpeerinfo and getinfo and confirmed that the two that were in sync had full block data available up to there respective block(sorry i didnt write it down ).  The third node that was 23 blocks ahead but only had block headers for those 23 blocks.

The third node would not broadcast the additional blocks it had it was just stuck the difficulty on it was ~21.  I something was wrong with it so I took it offline.

My third node was the only thing bridging the gap between the other miner (8NZm7kxY3fDCzDnZKTnZx9nCmeQiCtp986) the block explorer and my two nodes from forking.  Whoever else is mining isn't broadcasting their solved blocks to the original pool or original block explorer as they are found.  They are only transmitting block headers to my third node.

The info in the two block explorers are different i think i realized the problem around block 549271.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/octo/
https://prohashing.com/explorer/Octocoin/

Nearly all the blocks i mined yesterday were orphaned. Kinda wierd though on octocoin.securepayment.cc we mind upto block #549460 passed the other miner and his chain is right now at 549315 and is the chain taking the lead.  I don't know if this is on purpose or just some weird network behavior.  Honestly its really frustrating but im good i mined all last year i've gone a ton of octo in other wallets.

Whoever you are please add all these nodes to your config file and double check that full block data is being transmitted upon mining.  I'm sure some are yours but some aren't.

Why not switch octocoin to a pos algo for the long term?? Make coin cap infinite and introduce 1-2% yearly stake interest to keep inflation low. The pow system right now is broken with multipools abusing it and no blocks being found for 10-20 hours at a time making the coin unusable. Besides POS provides a better main chain for sidechains later on and helps a coin better retain value. That is my opinion i would like to hear other peoples opinion on this.

Yeah, PoS is good, I'd be for it.

Also another GPU-only hashing algo would work, anything that can't be abused by ASIC farms. I don't know how many GPU farms are still around...

[djslick]

Also, whoever keeps pushing the price down, just let them have their fun. Don't feed him.

Constantly eating the buy walls and pushing a massive sell wall down.

Pretty obvious attempt to get the price down low enough to get tons of this coin for cheap.

Don't sell 888 that low, we've waited long enough, we can wait past this, don't let him sink the ship, it only works if there's volume this low. IF not he'll learn.

I'll admit i helped dump down hoping the lower price will deter the miner from mining. The number of orphans I've had are ridiculous.

[djslick]

All's fair in love and trading amirite?

So it's a battle between keeping it low enough so the multipool stays away, and keeping volume high enough to not be de-listed.

As long as we're on the same page as far as long-term growth is concerned, I'm all for fucking the multipool over, doesn't hurt to scoop up some cheap now anyways.

And perhaps this buys us time to consider the technical ramifications of going to PoS, if that's even feasible almost 2 years into a coin's life. Also, what that will mean for trading... although TBH, the real traders don't mine, so they wouldn't care. I was a lowly miner, but all the good fortunes I've had in crypto have come from trading. Bought my GTX 980 with my profits, woo! too bad i can't really mine with it anymore, was sad to see the old 7970 sputter and die

I hope we can count on you to move the price in the right direction when the time comes. I personally feel that 400 sat is a good baseline, that's what it used to be, and even though a lot of coins have been mined since then, there are actually LESS coins in the wild right now than there was back then, because of that huge burn. I think it has potential to go up a lot higher, would like to see 1500 sat be the baseline one the coin hits it's stride. I was a part of the blackcoin team and look at what they did. I still know the dev of that first reverse-multipool that would mine BTC to buy blackcoin, just put constant buy pressure on the market, it was a cool idea.

[djslick]

market's trying to push back up, let's give it some help, slowly until we see the multipool kick back in.

[djslick]

there was a shit ton of volume on yobit today, we should get ready to push this to the moon

[phatkiller]

Yeah, people were going crazy in yobit chat, like 10 people were all screaming GO 888 GO!!! bout time we got some recognition.

Yobit seems to list the coins on the left-hand column by volume, so now 888 is actually visible. Lets put some more volume on it in the next 12 hours or so, so it's 24-hour average doesn't drop. I think getting the price back to the ballpark it was earlier today is important, but secondary to sustaining volume so that we keep our visibility. Once we drop back to the bottom, that could be a K.O for the coin, history will show a mini-pump and then no activity, not good. I don't have much BTC or 888, but I'm liquidating holdings in other coins to be able to keep some volume happening. Every bit counts. Every minute we're on that top 20 list is one minute of free promo.

[djslick]

i wish people would pull their sells under 300 sats, I'd be willing to pump it, but I don't have 0.3 BTC!

[djslick]

Well, probably for the best the price is so low, it will keep away the multipool so our miners can rack up the octo.

Let me know when we're ready to pump, once you miners have had your fill. PM me and I'll help when the time comes.

Where is the dev

[myfirst]

Hmm, looks like the difficulty got pushed up to almost 2000+ at one point while I was busy with real life and working.  Not sure if that's good or bad, especially since we have not mined a block for almost a day now.
Anyway... I'll spend this weekend updating the website and forum posts.  I've also gotten some interest from volunteers which is a good sign.

Thanks for your support of Octocoin so far. 

Adding PoS would probably solve the issues with difficulty.  If we add that feature, would 'Octocoin' still be 'Octocoin'?

WOW that difficulty though.  I think they're just trying to disrupt the coin and see if dev does anything or lets coin die.

@myfirst PoS would be great. I don't think adding the feature changes anything its just an addition to the coin, unless your looking to rebrand in which case I would be for it as well.  I think the community is just hoping for more regular updates/communications from you but im sure you'll get some support on anything your looking to do with Octocoin.

I noticed that Bitterex was going to remove OCTO the counterparty asset.  This may help pave the way for reintroducing Octocoin 888 to bitterex.  I believe they have a large stash of coins from when Octocoin 888 was originally removed.

10.4 release will be made available in just a few hours.  This merges in all the latest upstream Litecoin changes since 10.3.  Also manually ported in the command line and config file option 'maxtipage' (more on that later) from the upstream Bitcoin codebase.

[myfirst]

The 10.4 release tag has been cut and is available on Github.
https://github.com/octocoin-project/octocoin/releases/tag/v0.10.4.0

Wallets are currently compiling.  Once complete I'll update the thread and post here.

The two most notable changes in this version are the BIP65 soft fork to enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode and the new configuration/command line option to manually specify your own maxtipage.  As a result of BIP65, Octocoin will now mine version 4 blocks.

Also of note... Since it's been more than 24 hours since the last mined block your clients may get stuck on "Octocoin is downloading blocks..." on startup.  If your client is stuck in this state you won't be able to use the RPC mining functions even though you actually have the latest block.  To work around it, first make sure you upgrade to Octocoin Core version 10.4, then pass the command line parameter:

Code:

-maxtipage=<n>

Where '<n>' is the value (in seconds) greater than 24 hours.  So you may use something like:

Code:

-maxtipage=432000

 

To specify 5 days (increase as needed).

You can also add that to your configuration file if needed:

Code:

maxtipage=432000

[myfirst]

New 10.4 wallets have been published and the main thread has been updated.  Pool operators are encouraged to update to this release, especially if you are getting the following error and you have the full chain up to block #552172:

Code:

WARNING mining # Blockchain is downloading... will check back in 30 sec

The 'getblocktemplate' RPC function returns:

Code:

error: {"code":-10,"message":"Octocoin is downloading blocks..."}

Update to 10.4, add the following to your configuration, and restart Octocoin:

Code:

maxtipage=432000

Wallets and source can be downloaded from Github or http://getoctocoin.com/

[myfirst]

Looks like the blockchain is moving along nicely again.  Now it's time to do some marketing.  I have a volunteer designing some banners.  Can I get someone to design a landing page?
Also I was considering changing the 3 character code to either OTC, OCO, or CPH and moving the triple to become part of a dedicated currency symbol:



What the opinion here?
Feel free to submit designs.

2) Network hash needs to increase by a lot.

[OctoVsDracula]

Here’s some of the game’s story:

Count Dracula has preyed on Transylvanians since the fifteenth century. From his dark castle in the Carpathian Mountains, the vampire emerges each night to suck their blood, meddle with their minds, and take the fairest of their women as his brides, damning them to an undead existence of service to him.

Few ever dared challenge the Count—few save the warriors of the Octo family. But after centuries of battle, Dracula finally killed the last of them. With none left to oppose him, Dracula abducts one new bride after another.

But hope has found its way back into the Romanian darkness. When word of the Octo family’s demise reached Professor Van Helsing in Amsterdam, he left at once to confront his old adversary. The professor has a plan.

Been thinking about this for a while....

1)To get on a high volume exchange we need higher volumes on the current exchange.

2)The answer is Merged Mining, obviously you can implement it but we need to give pools a reason to merge mine the coin.

Maybe setting up a liquidity group with some big coin holders get some decent buy/sell walls.

With all the craze about stealth addresses and ring signatures have you considered theses features for Octocoin ?

How about requesting to get added on Bitsquare Decentralized Exchange ? (https://forum.bitsquare.io/t/how-to-add-your-favorite-altcoin/46)

How about requesting to get added on Bitsquare Decentralized Exchange ? (https://forum.bitsquare.io/t/how-to-add-your-favorite-altcoin/46)

I've submitted the form as described on that page.  However it would be great if someone could write the address validation and unittest code they are requesting.

https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare/blob/Development/gui/src/test/java/io/bitsquare/gui/util/validation/AltCoinAddressValidatorTest.java
https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare/blob/Development/gui/src/main/java/io/bitsquare/gui/util/validation/AltCoinAddressValidator.java

If no one is able to do it, I'll try and get to it in the next few months.  It looks simple, but needs some time.
Also going to look into syncing with upsteam v0.13.2.1 in the next few weeks.

Small outage with our CDN provider.  The links should be functional soon.   I'll be adding some mirrors soon.

[myfirst]

Since a few places can't use a set of numbers as a currency code, Octocoin must adopt a new one in order to go mainstream.  Lets start with these suggestions:

• OTC
• XOC
• XOT
• CPH
• OCO
• OCT (3)
• OCH
• OTO
• OTG
• OTT

Which do you like?  Voting ends in 10 days.

[Mutoid]

OCT seems like the logical choice (I think I've seen OCTO somewhere too?). OCH is the Swedish word for "and" so that one gets just weird for me

[OctoVsDracula]

OCT

[phatkiller]

I like OCT as well.

@myfirst Yobits octocoin wallet has been in Maintenance for a while now.  I've filed multiple tickets to no avail. Have you had any communication with them ?

[Mutoid]

I know of several coins (TES, first gen NAV) that had their wallets put into maintenance mode indefinitely at Yobit. My recommendation is to not trade with them at all.

[myfirst]

I like OCT as well.

@myfirst Yobits octocoin wallet has been in Maintenance for a while now.  I've filed multiple tickets to no avail. Have you had any communication with them ?

Yes, I've contacted them and the response is always the same each time.  Perhaps when I merge in the latest upstream code they will decide to update 

[myfirst]

Looks like OCT is the winner.
Before it's made official I'll need to verify it does not already conflict with an existing or past currency.

Hello again,

I realized that I never linked you to the Github wiki explanation on how to set up a SPV electrum server, so... there it is! And if you are curious, our SPV electrum servers are customized for Komodo and were not affected by the recent security risk.

Hello everyone!

Glad to see that the Octocoin community is still alive.

Can we get a status report? It would be nice to know if the developers are still around, and if there are any future plans.

Also, is it possible to have the developers contact the administrators at YoBit.net and have them take the Octocoin wallet off of "maintenance mode" so that we can withdraw funds?

[myfirst]

Can we get a status report? It would be nice to know if the developers are still around, and if there are any future plans.

The original developers are gone, but I've done some work to keep the codebase up to date.  Any future plans depend entirely on the community/holders. I will be glad to offer some assistance in direction.  (the company I work for has some slight interest in Octocoin which is why I am able to dedicate some time to it.)

Also, is it possible to have the developers contact the administrators at YoBit.net and have them take the Octocoin wallet off of "maintenance mode" so that we can withdraw funds?

YoBit under provisions hardware and oversells it's capacity.  Meaning they have countless number of markets but don't actively run all the wallets/nodes for each of those markets.  Initially, they'll have the wallet/node running, but later suspend it so they can continue to add more markets.  It's a terrible way to do business and will ultimately come back and bite them.

I've already asked YoBit to re-enable to wallet, but I'm getting no response from them.
