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

[djslick]

yup i got my payment from niceman, every coin accounted for.

Edric's so chivalrous ^_^

i should pinch myself, is this real? pool operators helping other pool operators?

fuck me this community is the best

i wonder what i'm going to do with all of my octo fortunes... probably buy a ticket to macau and gamble it all away on octo 888 slot machines xD

[djslick]

This is the exact problem I was having with the updated wallet and my pool.. Attempting to send out any "extra" coins above what was locked up for my users resulted in that error and it STILL counted the coins off of the balance, making my pool appear in the negative. Perplexing.

This is why my pool is actually still running the first released wallet. It's got some issues and an occasional stuck payout but nothing like that. Whatever the code they put in to "properly handle conflicted transactions" as referenced by their last commit needs a better look-over. Hopefully that issue is solved when they hard fork for 188 blocks. Crossing my fingers, because with that error, I had to constantly babysit my pool.

Thanks for help. Really, new version is broken and can't send payments.
Now installed version 1.0.0.1 and all payouts was processed without problem.

So i gotta say, since one of our pool operators, who's very kind and selfless, just gave you the tip you needed to keep your octo pool running and having payouts moving smoothly...

care to return the favor by stopping your exploiting the code to auto switch your pools miners to octo everytime there's an 888 bonus block?

one good turn deserves another, and edric's been with us since the beginning. It would look very good on you, and help strengthen octo as a whole.

fact is, this isn't going to be going on past the next wallet update which is due any day now with the hard fork, why be greedy? you'd position yourself and your pool much better if you took the high road and ran an honest pool right now. it will be remembered in the annals of this coin for a long time yet to come.

ball's in your court, i'd put my 25MH on your pool to help kick-start it if you lay off the auto-switching.

[niceman]

Ok. Annals of OctoCoin is really valuable suggestion. I turned off OctoCoin from AUTO switching routine.

I experienced the payment delay (I did receive payment).  But since last post about the delay, I thought I would give it a hand at solo mining.  Less than two hours in and I have me-self 2 Blocks Solved.  Not bad for my 2 X R9280X.  I was really just giving it a shot and luck was on my side. 

Don't Blink for sure, my get lucky!

Glad to see this issue being handled while we ensure everything is solid before releasing the new client/fork - nice work dj.

I noticed that at the FusionHash pool, over the past hour, they have received 140% of projections meaning an average of over 250 coins/block - these are averages we weren't seeing before the rogue pool was removed from the equation.

We should have the new client released at some point today. We will be bumping back the point-of-fork slightly as we are a bit behind schedule. Everything is done but we wanted to continue testing and retesting to ensure a smooth transition. I think everybody will be pleased with the new code.

Crap! I've been doing some trading of another coin (so I can buy more 888) between Bittrex and another exchange and have shirked my voting responsibilities! May the OctoGods forgive me!    


Off to vote now...   I'll try not to forget again.

Just wanted to make a quick announcement. Official launch of the 888 High/Lo casino is likely tomorrow! I'm pretty much certain the bugs are worked out now.

Another note, weird goings on with the pool. It's working fine and paying everyone out like it's supposed to, but my "locked for users" amounts aren't getting properly released after payout runs go through, so, when the mandatory update comes, if we start having problems with payout crons shutting themselves off, this is going to be the reason.

I added up everyone's balances, VERIFIED and validated payouts and checked those flagged missing against the block explorer just to be safe, accounted for unconfirmed, and still am coming up with a big number of coin that hadn't been released (fees, donations, etc). I withdrew this excess from the pool's wallet and it's going into next month's server bills and a small beer bounty for a helper I've got on board a couple of projects (some good stuff). If this causes any crap when we update to the hard fork wallet, I'll be doing a bit of database surgery to fix it. Still not convinced that the Octo wallet plays nice with MPOS. I'm seeing problems with the current unconfirmed just EATING the pool's liquid assets, come back an hour later and everything is fine. Strange stuff. First thing I did though is to make sure that nobody has gotten shafted, so hopefully all is well.

I'll try to get something together for the giveaway very soon.. I'm sorry, it's just projects on top of projects on top of LIFE SUCKS and kittens and an idiot dog tearing up and crapping all over the house, keeping me from focusing on any ONE thing at once.

Cross your fingers on the gaming, should be ready tomorrow. It's a high/lo game, but it's ENTIRELY ran on investments. You don't just throw coins into the daemon and open a user account and start betting. You open a user account, deposit coins, choose how much you invest (optional, though the game does not work at all if nobody has invested). For instance, if I were to log in and invest 10k, I would control 100% of the house, all losers money goes to me, but I solely pay the winners (and the game has mechanics to deal with your wagers, odds, max bets and winnings based on how much is in the investment pool, very well thought through). If I were to invest 10k and shellbunner were to invest 10k, then the losers bets would be split 50/50 to us, and so on and so forth, it even shows you the percentage of your investments, it has a panel that lets you verify the fairness of your rolls, everything. It's damn nice. And, the coolest thing is, (maybe not for some) it's OPEN SOURCE. Take that you lousy backdoored dice script writing bastids! I hope you guys are excited! BTW, probably shutting down the grids game, seems to be no activity. May boot her up again in the future though!

Bored...

888 Octo's to the first person who can decode my signature.

It's the number of grains in the individual layers of powder I'm loading the bullet I'm going to eat with.

I think this game sounds more fun than the last... even just seeing who all is trying to have the most invested to control the game seems fun. although i don't see a lot of people tying and splitting 50/50 when the price of Octo is this low... to 1up someone to take control is cheap at the moment... so i think there will be a lot of 1upping and taking winnings while you can. it def sounds interesting.

Devs, i have a question to you.
Why are you don't using twitter since march? There are no announcements of wallet updates or any significant events.
It's really sad for those who believe in your coin, and i am one of them.

+888

That's right. Twitter should be used (and maybe a new one with real followers, just for credibility).
But maybe it's because we should keep this coin a secret till the bonusblocks are over. Don't know.

To further add to this, how about we make a little change to the octocoin.org website?
The Mac and Linux wallets have been showing a release date of 4/28 since around a month ago. just looks abandoned
