[888] OctoCoin Core 10.4

[djslick]

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

I heard back from BleuTrade and they want 2 BTC

Bleutrade now charges 2 BTC for adding new coins.
This value is required for maintenance of our servers and that the coin is not delisted shortly.

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.

I manually added the nodes but they but i can see only 2 active connections to the network.

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. 

The coming update will change the 'pchMessageStart' value to something that will be unique to Octocoin.

Details will be posted soon.

I think whoever took over this coin should look into exchanges like Cryptopia and Yobit to start somewhere easy at first

I still have 137257 old Octocoins, where can i change them for the new ones?

No need to 'change'.  It's thesame blockchain.

Thank you YoBit! for your support.

GREAT NEWS!!!

thank you yobit~!!! stepping up!!!

So I have a serious question, I would like to contribute to the blockchain, I only have Nvidia GPUs, and i really can't find a virus-free version of cudaminer, does anyone have a real resource for this? I know that scrypt is old, but I want to do my part to help reinforce the blockchain.

I think it would be helpful even if i can only provide a small about of hash power. I have a gtx 980 btw. plz help!

and again, AMAZING JOB guys, so happy today!!

[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.

Found this.   I mine with asic using cgminer never tried gpu mining.

Cudaminer thread:

Cudaminer Github:

I think any mining program will be flagged as a virus/trojan on windows.

anyone know of any pools mining octocoin besides securepayment.cc ?

[djslick]

888 ON COINMARKETCAP!!!! we're on the up-and-up gents, nice to be back in the saddle.

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.

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