[ANN] [888] [SCRYPT] OctoCoin ◦ The Power of Eight ◦ Don't Blink

[edric]

Source has been updated and Windows wallet is now up for download:

https://octocoin.org

Updated OS X wallet will release within 48 hours. This should correct the occasional transaction issues. Just to be clear, this is not an issue that was exclusive to OctoCoin so, while a handful of our modifications were inexplicably rejected from Bitcoin Core, we included them in this version as we're confident they solve a number of minor issues. We also borrowed some relevant changes from the latest Litecoin source addressing transaction issues.

While this update will not result in a fork, it is extensive enough that we definitely suggest upgrading ASAP. There will be another (likely optional) release soon containing some of the "bells and whistles" we have been working on; this particular release simply addresses the core.

If, after 24 hours of updating, the handful of people dealing with old unconfirmed transactions are still seeing said transactions "stuck", please send us a PM with the details (txid, addresses, pool/exchange/etc) and one of our guys will comb through all of them this week to ensure they are resolved.

Thank you for your patience - will be back within 12 hours.

Awesome! Around 11PM CST tonight, the pool will go off briefly to swap out the wallet application. It'll only take about 2 minutes or so.

Sometime around or after the 1st I'm moving to another neighborhood along with my sister, and I'm not sure about how quick it'll be getting our internet service moved and running. In case I don't have internet I'll need to give someone my phone number to send me a text in case of pool problems so I can get it fixed. Shouldn't be a problem, though. I have a long range wifi antenna as a backup :b

Who can tell me, in the mine pool display coins have transferred to the wallet to show success why my wallet is no money?

[shellbunner]

I've received my coins and I wanted to thank FusionHash and the OctoCoin developers for being true to their word about addressing our few issues. I appreciate the honesty and support.

I´m still missing 4 Autopayouts at FusionHash. Unfortunately the Contact form is broken, so i will try it here.

@FusionHash-Admin: Please fix the missing Payouts and send them to my wallet.

[JesstersDead]

Same problem, but with a manual cash out.

Yes, I have a similar issue 4 missing payments, all with missing TX id's

It's a weird thing and I haven't figured what the problem is but a few coins do that.. One of them is a big problem for me because my pool has many, many thousands of payouts and no TXID's, and the wallet has problems with big transactions.. Not Octocoin, though, haven't figured out what it's limit is. I understand the frustration, though.

Oh, I got distracted last night, then ended up asleep early and completely forgot about the wallet update! I'm about to do that right now, before I forget again. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes and I'll have to reset stratum, hopefully your miners will reconnect without problems!

[edric]

It's changed.. No problems

About to pull ID's for the giveaway now too.. So absent minded lately, sorry guys

We're in the process of moving and it's been pretty crazy. We're basically getting evicted from here because one of the kids tore a bunch of bricks out of a wall, so then we get blamed for everything else that's broken around here, when there's 1000 unsupervised kids running around wreaking havoc, but we're singled out because, and I really hate to say it, but we're the only white family here. I'll be glad to be out of this neighborhood, though. The other night when I was typing up that long post, there was a huge fight outside, some guy beating a woman in front of her kids over a $100 bill. We called the police but when they got here they were more interested in trying to get permission to search our apartment. Texas...

Pool goes well. Perfect. I hope Octo takes off like no other coin before plus more people will mine at your pool so you get what you deserve! 
Sounds like a crazy neighbourhood.

I used to live somewhere like that. We finally bailed after I was sitting on the couch one day catching a buzz, and I looked out on my porch and some dude was looking in the window and trying to get in my door thinking nobody was home.I opened the door and stuck my 45 in his faced and asked him how can I fuckin help you!? And then a few days later I come home from work and my front yard is surrounded by cops with the guy that used to live in the basement apartment down and in cuffs, we found out later he was on america's most wanted and wanted for murder in New jersey. The lady upstairs had these 3 big dudes that beat the shit out of her daily, after we moved out, one of them shot the other and one of the bullets went through our old apartment and hit some lady in the leg. People are crazy man. Get the hell out of there.

Ehrmagerd.... Yeah, we have plenty of crazy people around here.. Meth and crack are epidemic, lol.. We live in a part of town called the "4-way" which is really not a good place if you're not dark skinned XD

Luckily we're moving to a pretty nice neighborhood in very soon. Can't wait. Not like I go outside much anyway, though.. lol


Guys, bear with me, the pool is giving me issues, since I updated the wallet and MPOS.. Sent out the giveaway, 1444 to 2 winners, pabad812 and z1011k, but I think my liquid assets were lying to me about my available balance, because after sending that out, I should have had 10k-ish left over, but I'm in the negative now and it's causing issues with the cronjobs. The new wallet and MPOS get along a bit differently it seems so I'll be making whatever tweaks and fixes necessary to keep things going. I guess its my fault getting excited because I (thought) I had 10k 888's left over to play with

Transaction issue at FusionHash.com 888 pool resolved. Coins arrived in desktop wallet. Took a few hours, but it is taken care of.

[OctoCoin]

We are currently working with FusionHash to determine why certain addresses are causing the RPC method to spit back 500 errors (which pauses the payout cronjob). edric - I would suggest pausing payouts temporarily until we get to the bottom of it. Forcing the payout script to run seems to be resulting in multiple payouts being processed. I have also contacted one of the lead MPOS devs to help expedite the resolution.

Just so everybody is aware, the next version of the wallet will be built on top of the latest bitcoin source which brings a number of tools and enhancements to transactions. Combined with our enhancements, it should result in the most complete, secure client out there. In the meantime, we will ensure that we have everything running smooth ASAP on the current version which we, admittedly, rushed slightly due to growing demand from the community. The pools all appear to be running fine - it's just occasional payout issues and, when that occurs, MPOS stops the payout cron automatically until manually reviewed.

Keep on mining and we'll keep you posted as things progress. If you are having issues with any pools, please contact them as they have access to the databases/logs/etc and we don't. I anticipate a swift resolution and, other than some potentially delayed payouts, nobody beyond the pools operators should be affected.

[edric]

Give me a  while to try and get things sorted out.. If you're still missing a transaction do not worry, I will fix it one way or another...

XD

Edit: I swapped the pool back to the old wallet.. The TX's sitting there with 0 confs are moving. Note that some may have bailed out hard and not got its TXID, these I'm going to have to manually verify. Please, PLEASE, if you suspect you're missing a transaction, please try and verify it against the explorer before contacting me. If all else fails just contact me thru PM or with the site contact form and we'll get it straightened out.

It may only be small at the moment, but I really like this community and I'll continue to support both FusionHash and Edric's pool with my hashes.

One day we will ALL reap the benefits of 888, for now it's the best kept secret in crypto! 

Something about 888 keeps me coming back. Part is our little community, and part of it is my gut. I've been around the crypto scene for years, and my gut says this is a keeper.

Who can help me, up to now can not send mail to fusionhash administrator！

[Stonerboy]

Maybe i'm completely wrong but didn't we have over 17k votes on Mintpal?

I thought we had late 16k, I'm pretty sure last time I looked we were less than 200 behind 84 just ahead.  We seem to have lost several hundred votes.  Maybe there is a moving window for vote counts?  If there is its not mentioned anywhere I can see.  They also doubled the cost of a paid vote a couple of weeks ago without mentioning it.

I just remember voting at ~17100 votes, nearly overtaking Flappycoin (only 2 hours ago). Then it was 16600 votes, and now 16150 votes.
Really crazy.

[shellbunner]

Yes we definitely just had over 17000 votes. Strange.

[frameLAlife]

I'm pretty sure you can pay to vote against a coin as well and send them back places....  know on crypto rush you could. i thought it was funny that there was a minus sign beside the coins name and instead of voting the plus sign for your coin you could actually vote a coin backwards.
