1% house edge
Play, Invest, and Profit!

The casino is now open and ready, only thing is I have 0 coins to be able to test and invest. Until we have someone go in and invest coins, actual betting cannot take place, though it's playable if you bet 0. The beauty of this game is that everyone can be a part owner in the house profits, just create an account and invest! The stats tab will show you the percentage of your investment, your profits, etc.

When you first enter the site, please take a moment to switch over to the "Options" tab, set a display name, username, and a password. Please do not lose your password! Obviously, if you do, you won't be able to get back into your investments, without me "hacking" you back in! Investing and depositing is easy, just scan the QR code, or click it to get a deposit address. Don't set up any pool account to auto-withdraw to your deposit address, though, I'm not sure if it stays the same or changes. The game software is still in a beta stage but is ready for play, just don't have an admin interface yet so please, don't lock yourself out of your account, so I don't have to manually hack you back in! Also please, take note of all relevant details of any deposits you make, just in case, that way if there's any issues it'll be easier to iron out!

Let me know if you have issues.
Have fun guys!

To dev... concerning deposit made to Xnigma, I deposited 18101.42 octo reported as unconfirmed for 3 months.  The transaction appears in both old/new wallet at first as unconfirmed/0 of 6 confirmations.  Now it appears, after I emailed Xnigma, as "conflicted".  Regardless my coin is in the cloud floating around or gone?

Both old/new wallets say I have 18447.66902801 coin, but try to move any and no, no, no.  Again, attempted on old/new wallets and separate PCs, rebuilding data, etc.

Xnigma never received.

The Xnigma sysop may need to do the same thing.. Rebuild and reindex. There's a command in the new wallet, something like zapwallettxes or something like that. Have him try that out, surely your transaction will be found!

How about a new thought for altcoin.  Me... customer.  Developer... manufacturer.  Exchange... vendor.  Customer complains, manufacturer and vendor fix.  Not fix, customer finds another product.  Appreciate your advice but not looking to solve this problem myself.

Can anyone verify that miningpool.co is mining on the wrong fork and that I just wasted the past few hours.

I can't speak for them, but my pool is fine!

We're hurting for hashes right now, guess people have lost the faith, but I assure you, we'll be rocking and rolling!

But you were just told what needs to be done. You and the Xnigma admin need to reindex your wallets. You'd be surprised how often this happens with all coins - there is a reason Litecoin increased max block size in their latest release. I believe OctoCoin has an even larger max block size. Reindexing is there because sometimes your transaction isn't accepted into the block chain due to too low of fees or whatnot. The zapwallettxes thing sounds interesting. I don't know how to use it but I'd look into that. If you zap the transaction, the coins come back into your wallet and you can resend them if you like. The coins are not lost as they never even hit the main blockchain. Your wallet stored on your computer is just "confused." You can point your finger all day long but one thing I've learned is the best way to resolve an issue is to take matters into my own hands. I've had this same issue before with Doge, Litecoin, Feathercoin, and even bitcoin. The difference is that now there are more tools built into the OctoCoin wallet that will probably make it much easier. It was a freak incident and it sucks but it's not Xnigma's fault and unless you want to send the OctoCoin dev your wallet.dat file there isn't much they can do most likely. Your wallet is the only place that transaction exists.

Your wallet is the only place that transaction exists.

The zapwallettxes doesn't actually work that way, but still very useful in rebuilding the tx database.. I was looking at the bitcoin changelog and looks like Octo has alot of the same functionality. Here's the most interesting snippet, for transaction-related issues:

Transaction malleability-related fixes
--------------------------------------

This release contains a few fixes for transaction ID (TXID) malleability
issues:

- -nospendzeroconfchange command-line option, to avoid spending
  zero-confirmation change
- IsStandard() transaction rules tightened to prevent relaying and mining of
  mutated transactions
- Additional information in listtransactions/gettransaction output to
  report wallet transactions that conflict with each other because
  they spend the same outputs.
- Bug fixes to the getbalance/listaccounts RPC commands, which would report
  incorrect balances for double-spent (or mutated) transactions.
- New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information


I can confirm that it does help out. I had a couple of things stuck that I didn't know about, I ran pretty much every recovery option when I updated the pool, to be on the safe side. Hope it works out for ya!
If you're on windows, make a shortcut of octocoin-qt.exe, Right click it, choose properties, and in the "Target" box, after the file path and octocoin-qt.exe add -zapwallettxes -rescan -reindex 

Save that and try once more. Hope you get your coins back!

listen to these two guys ^^^^^^^.

and no, you don't really want to send your wallet.dat file to anyone lol. so don't ask ha,

Still no mac wallet? need to access my coins

Still no mac wallet? need to access my coins

I'm literally like 2 steps away from being able to build it in my mac VM so if push comes to shove I will try to slide out a temporary version until the official wallet comes!

I see a few people have used http://octo-chance.fedaykin.us! I'll try to make a better advertisement for it later on. Remember that everyone can become part owner by investing! Also, takes 3 confirms to show your balance, I may have to change that, though, not sure how it jives with the wallet. Lots of little settings can be changed.

Edit: Oh, and we are invested now, so let the betting commence!

call me superstitious... 8 days ago written on last commits its when I have discovered you

trying to assemble Mac Wallet no show stopper, seeing it not ready reverting to UNIX (running Centos) abs dont worry about this.. very very interesting I am a very superstitious person..

thank you for creating this and something is going to happen


https://github.com/octocoin/octocoin

done.. coins are mined and streaming into the wallet... will revisit this thread.. and thanks for ongoing development

[MEGAman]

How long has the Mac wallet been out? Must have missed the announcement I guess. Either way, it's running great!

more and more votes on cryptorush, nice

Likely "cleverminer" or one of the private multicoin sites dumping. Of course every time bitcoin starts climbing people start shedding alts pretty quick. It's a buyers market almost across the board as long as bitcoin keeps heading north. I've been buying mostly LTC and VTC but sprinkling in a little more 888 every day. The alts always catch back up and then some. My main complaint with Bittrex is you can put a big buy order out there and it just sits there for days unfilled usually because it jacks up the price. People see a 2 BTC buy order on Bittrex and they think Warren Buffet is making an Octo play Another reason MintPal would be so nice. I'll bet Octo would do over 100 BTC in volume on the first day there.

add this coin to mintpal,

i noticed the same thing every time i put in a large btc amount 888 buy the selling prices just soared. i've been buying VTC and ANC lately but 888 has been up there at least 1-2 decent buys every 2 weeks when the prices bottom out.

[djslick]

yeah i pulled my octo buy from bittrex. better to keep the price low, that way the multipools don't get wise and come back to harvest these bonus blocked coins. 300MH net cap is fine by me.

How much time left on the bonus blocks btw? Not actively mining 888 at the moment, waiting for a x11 multi if/when it hits.
