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

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.

I never heard about that on mintpal... Plus on cryptorush you only could vote - per click...
Otherwise Mintpal/Cryptorush could use their own received BTC and vote back some coins by themselves just that people would have to invest more... But jeah... who knows.
For me it would only be logical to kick some dead coins out of  their exchange and add coins like Octo.
Plus...just look at the TOP 10 of the Votinglist... Nothing interesting there...

I have updated the wallet for my P2Pool node.  Thanks for the continued hard work devs. 

[Stonerboy]

I can't wait to see the software and wherever this casino/casinos will be, if i can gamble there with my Octos i will visit it  

Plus, i just saw an advertising for something like Pokerstars, called 888 Poker. They got a onlinecasino too.

Would be nice if we maybe could see a deal there in the future. (Name sounds perfect)  

Keep on Voting on Mintpal!

I have updated the wallet for my P2Pool node.  Thanks for the continued hard work devs. 

My pool is back on the old wallet, something with the payout handling isn't quite right yet. It started when I did the giveaway, I had a good bit of liquid reserves built up and I've already tested pretty well the "getbalancewithunconfirmed" MPOS feature, so as not to do anything dumb.. But, when I tried to send the first bit of the giveaway, manually, it bailed out with an error, I'll have to go into my logs now to remember exactly what it said, but the amount locked for pool users was definitely less than what my actual balance was. Well, when it threw the error, the liquid balance went down, but nothing was sent out, which I confirmed. After a few tries, I processed the giveaway payments, but each time it bailed with an error, it did in fact eat some of the balance, sending me into a negative balance. Then of course started having cron issues, and a few missing payouts. Upon investigation, though, the missing payouts had been sent, but were sitting stuck with 0 confirmations. Switching back to the other wallet and doing a rescan seemed to fix everything, though. If the devs need some log snippets, let me know. Still something not right there, could be the wallet wasn't displaying its real balance to MPOS.

I'm experimenting with some dice

When I get it working right it's all yours!


Edit: After digging, and you don't even want to know how much, I've gotten my hands on a gold mine of stuff that I can adapt to 888. I'll probably start with dice but there's a slots game I've come across that I think I would like to put out there too.

I'm going to try to have a test version up and running today. Keep in mind this is stuff I've kinda found lying around so I'll have to modify it and figure out how to make it work.

 There's so many things I want to do, seriously found a goldmine of gaming stuff.. Slot machines, poker, dice, lotto. There's been a few I've messed with a little bit that are going to need some serious overhaul to get running but some of the best looking stuff really shouldn't be all too bad. The only thing is, it's all unfamiliar code made by people I don't know, so I want to be careful to not get ripped off. My level of paranoia has been pretty high lately, after an exchange owner got pwned by a rootkit picked up in some wallet source off GitHub.

 I've got some high dollar gaming scripts lying around here somewhere that I've been meaning to try out in a controlled environment, I would be willing to bet they are compromised in some way. Problem is that if they are compromised, idk if it's done in a way that just grabs the admin login or privkeys, tries to directly transfer coins, or what, and it's just too time consuming to pore over every page of code. If I stare at it long enough I can figure out what it's doing, but may want to rip out my eyeballs soon. I'm getting alot better with PHP but it's still pretty easy to slip in something sneaky that's easily overlooked. If anyone would be able to give me a hand checking for exploits that'd be awesome. The two I'm most suspicious of are CoinDice 2.0 and CoinWheel 1.0.

Guys, donate some to the faucet please.

I've got to reboot the pool really quick.. I updated all my packages, on accident, and it's causing problems... Meant to run the update in another terminal window >.<;

Edit: Done.  Sorry about that... now everyone's already on their failover

[shellbunner]

Holy crap! Someone just moved 1,500,000 Octo to different addresses.
Check this block out : 50378 on the block explorer

If whoever has that many is looking to sell, please let me know.
I am VERY interested!

[Stonerboy]

Maybe devs splitting their Octos 
Man i wished i had some more 888 too. This is easy money.
I would be interested in knowing what exactly will happen with this coin.
Because if it really is accepted in some big casinos and people like using it we could see an enormous volume.
"521 332 161" - maybe a hint. (for our 521,332,161 $ Marketcap, or maybe it's Paris Hiltons ICQ number, who knows)

Shellbunner, i do not doubt that you are very good stacked in Octo, just looking at your Hashingpower

I have a few Octo
But I'm always buying and mining. Can't get enough. 
I have no doubt 888 will go VERY far.
If this is implemented in physical casinos, my wife and I will fly to them and gamble!
Really looking forward to see the dev teams progress.

Looks like today is moving day. No clue how long it's going to take to get the internet moved. Not very happy about having to move today. Wasn't supposed to be til after the 1st, and I've been sick, with a fever. I feel terrible.

[comppi]

I also want to buy more octo, but there really isnt any volume anywhere. Guess I aldo have to rent a rig to increase my stash.

[edric]

I think I have to get my computer shut down and pack within an hour or so, no telling when I'll be back online... Anyone up to taking the responsibility of watching over the pool for me and sending me a text if something dies? My sister and her husband both have iPhones so if a problem comes up I can jump on their hotspot real fast to give it a fix, but their data plans are very limited so can't stay online with it. Gotta love at&t, give you 50mbps 4g but you can't use it.

Once I get things settled, get moved and all and get those cards shellbunner is sending me all setup, I'm going to see about renting some rigs too. I'd really like to increase my holdings, but at the same time I need to be making some income. Trying to figure out some kind of balance between the two is going to be tough. I've crunched some preliminary numbers on renting mining rigs, which if I directly invest (daily) what I can mine on 1.8MH the returns aren't going to be much. So I'm thinking when payday comes, just investing a good chunk of that as well into some mining rigs and see what that gets me. I'll have to run some more numbers but I really don't have any experiences to refer to. Can anyone tell me what a good daily target percentage is (ROI) when renting hashpower? Not looking to get rich quick but don't want to waste anything.

I've used betarigs a few times and they provide a great service.  The price goes up and down with demand which usually corresponds to new coin releases or trading pumps so keep an eye on the prices and rent in a dip. In my experience its quite hard to ROI or make daily income with rented hashing power unless you happen to catch the difficulty and net hashrate low right before a price hike in whatever you are mining.

Most times I've mined Octo with rented hashpower I've usually ended up with a bit less than I could have bought for the same price.

Same here. I could buy more Octo than I could mine. Just not enough Octo for sale right now. I need my daily Octo fix somehow!!!!! 
Anyone figure out I have an addictive personality?! 

Oh and Edric, there are a few more goodies in that box. I hope you enjoy and can profit from it somehow.

Awesome man, thanks! I'm usually pretty clever so I'm sure I can find a use for anything in there. I've been known to resurrect dead motherboards from time to time so maybe I can work my magic. I know what you're talking about with the addictive personality, I'm the same way, with a side order of OCD, I think. I'm hoping that soon I can get myself into a position to actually save up coins instead of constantly having to sell and trade, not a day goes by that I don't think about the fact that I sold off thousands of BTC at 50 cents to a dollar, lol. Shellbunner, do you have any advice for renting mining rigs? Sometimes I'm bad about not looking before I jump and these days I gotta be careful.

I'm still not sure why the new wallet throwing those errors took the pool to a negative balance, even switching around MPOS's getbalance methods it's still in the negative (just a little). I'm thinking that some of the coins that's "locked for users" isn't supposed to be. At least since I switched it back to the old wallet, it's not complaining on every payout run and freezing the crons. I was messing with the new wallet on another server and even trying to move a small amount that's not "locked" will make it throw an error. I wish I could give better details and do more to help. Until the balance evens itself out, everything should be fine as long as everyone doesn't withdraw all their balances at once. When I get those cards and can do some mining, first priority is to fix the pool's balance, after that I may set up a private test pool to try and figure out what's up with the wallet and MPOS misbehaving together. It's uncommon, but some coins act a little funny with MPOS in regards to locked funds and getbalance methods (with unconfirmed/immature balances). I'm just wondering if the pool's balance would even itself out if we had no unconfirmed blocks or transactions in the pool's wallet, it's possible that all MPOS's getbalance methods aren't properly accounting for unconfirmed blocks. IDK.


Thank god, the move is going down tomorrow, after all. I'm told that the internet will be switched tomorrow as well and that there shouldn't be any delays or problems.

I always hate moving my computer, though, and I'm paranoid that one day I'm going to turn it off and it's not going to turn back on. Any time the power gets cut off or it gets unplugged, I have to pull out all the cards and reinsert them in order, or it won't boot. Pretty sure it's the old video card causing that, though, which I'll be rid of soon enough! My mom had an old bubble type iMac that was fine one day, unplugged it and moved it to a new place, and it never ran again (and good riddance). It was a dreadfully slow contraption since the advent of OS X ("classic" OS ran like a dream, I miss that), and bugs would crawl inside of it and die, and were damn near impossible to get out without an engineering degree. I tried to talk her out of buying it and letting me build her something better. She uses linux now, I am proud.
