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

[NoobKidOnTheBlock]

I love the OctoCoin community and the whole coin in general and have been trying to promote it to anyone I talk too  I am a firm believer in OCTOcoin as a longterm investment which in the cryptoworld is usually unheard of cause of all the shit pump and dump coins! But I can't wait till the real traders realize that this coin is solid and legit and that it's one of the very few ALTcoins that will actually stick around and be here long term.  I do however feel that come September if not earlier that more marketing and promoting of this coin needs to be released to expand the community even larger.  I'm not complaining right now cause of the price of the coin and knowing that it is ridiculously undervalued and is gonna easily be worth at least 25k sat one day!  Anyways happy trading today everyone and remember to get those votes out to Mintpal and spread the good news of the OctoCoin Thanks for listening!

Octo doesn't have a strict POS element but the devs are working on a 'Bank' to store your coins which may pay interest.

The Devs probably won't answer you as they only really post when there's a development (which we're expecting in the coming weeks) but to get an idea of what's happening I'd recommend finding the Dev on the forum and reviewing his post history.

And while you're looking into stuff check out www.octohub.org for some sneaky tasters.

Side note 1: Anyone else mining/trading URO?

Heard of URO but haven't mined/traded any, should I be doing?

Side note 2: Anyone interested in a very limited edition custom etched pint glass? Featuring the 888 octopus of course...

Possibly, tell us more...

We bought some (40@0.05btc) a few days ago, went to bed it was 3x in the morning, went to bed again it was 4x in the morning. Sitting on about 1 btc now... A couple of companies have agreed to accept it for urea (fertiliser) at a 1:1 ton ration (minimum order 12,500 tons), reportedly the first order went through this morning. The btctalk thread is suffering from some hardcore FUDing but thoreticall the coins are worth about 0.4btc each.

Re Glasses. We're thinking limited run. say 18. 4 for the council, 4 for the Devs and 10 up for grabs. Maybe straight up sell 5 and auction the other 5? Trades in 888. Each would be unique, inspired by/based on the coin octopus. We've got a artist on board and each would be signed and numbered. When the first one is made we'll share pictures.

Still interested in a glass, at the right price.  Any idea how much 888 for one?

It's not finalised at the moment, but we're thinking 15,000 888 to Buy 1 of 5 or put in a bid for 1 of the 5 auctioned. 5 highest bids win. This way people that really want them can still get hold of them hopefully. If 888 hits 10k satoshis next week it would obviously be less. Also if anyone had a particular type of glass in mind  we could look into it. And like I said when we've got something to show we'll put up pics.

I might be doing the math wrong but isn't 15K 888 at 850 satoshi apiece .1275 BTC.  With BTC at ~$625, that makes it a roughly $80 glass, that can't be right can it?

Member of the council checking in, Hi Everyone!

Some things are still being finalized, but here are some more details that are releasable already.

• We have an artist commissioned for some works, I don't have his permission to name here, yet, but he's fantastic. He will be etching the limited glasses.
• Yes the hand etched glasses will cost extra, but the price will be justified!
• We are looking at machining some awesome range of products to celebrate Octo. Not much to give away but think glasses, personalized octo drinking gear etc
• Shipping is likely to be a part of the cost.
• Not everything will be expensive, but it will all be limited!

It is, but consider what Warty said (although by making he means etching, not blowing just to clarify) and that you could bid 10k, 5k or 1k if you prefer. There will be only 10 up for grabs, or maybe 8... because it's a nice round number.

[bholzer]

Just wanted to let everybody know that FusionHash is hard at work on the new 888 GPU Multipool and Scrypt Murraycoin pool. I have been checking in with them every couple days and I'm currently testing things as we speak.

In other news, I just received my 888-purchased jerky from Jay:



I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

[djslick]

1) Bholzer, PM me if fusionhash needs more testers. I helped GNU_User test the first blackcoin multipool from the beginning.

2) I definitely want one of these pimp chalices. i'd put some 888 down right now if i wasn't sure i'd be overpaying, what costs 15k octo today costs 1.5k tomorrow

Glad they made it to ya safely.  I have to say, thats a great photo.    Try not to eat all bags in one sitting.

Mate, pimp chalice, I'm thinking a top hat wearing, monocled, glass toting octopus for a beast of a brandy glass or similar. Probably have to be hand done, can't see our tech being quite good enough to lazer that!

The image in my head is sublime tho.

As for fushionhash, be really nice if they fixed the password reset, or answered emails. Still have an account there locked without reply from multiple emails to admin.. for weeks now..



This, but the Octo octo..

[thenotfatguy]

Heyo Guys,
Did you know that OctoCoin has been added to HitBTC voting? 

https://hitbtc.com/vote

[djslick]

that's one dapper octopus.  

depending on what happens to the price, i wouldn't rule out a version that's gold-rimmed or something, or even having some metalwork on the base and stem.

also, i break glasses far too easily in my line of work (i'm a professional raging alcoholic). consider a 4-pack if it's feasible for production.

[wartywarlock]

We shall quaff needlessly expensive beverages in style at Las Vegas    we can't give hard numbers until a) machine production happens, which atm has to wait a week or so before we can use the machines, and b) we see how long the hand etched glass take per piece, we won't rush production!

PM them on here, might get thru

[SquidsIn]

WTF?!

Mintpal are launching coins less than a day old now...

NIST5

And another one that's barely a week old and named after a terrorist organisation;

ISIS

This (the altcoin market, not 888) is fast becoming a bad joke.

[djslick]

1) ISIS also means this:

2) it damages no one to have many coins listed, just means there's more competition, and the cream rises to the top. have you looked on forex lately? you can buy/sell pretty much anything there. it would take many times every single altcoin combined to represent a fraction of what goes on IRL

Yeh, you're right, so it does, only that's a cartoon.  I think you'll find ISIS the terrorist organisation is slightly more murderous.  It has been reported over here that they are attempting to raise funds via cryptocurrency.  Since the UK government is aware of these reports and Mintpal is a UK registered company I'd say that puts them on pretty dodgy ground. The coin is either a poor joke or it's hiding in plain sight either way I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Since you clearly have a problem with me and jump on every comment I make here, you're now on permanent ignore.  I suggest you reciprocate and then the mutual annoyance is gone and doesn't detract from the purpose of this thread.  Goodbye.

wait, what? DID WE JUST BECOME ARCH ENEMIES? rofl

seriously dude, relax, it's news to me that i've ever responded to you before (there are only so many people posting in the thread, and i've been here since the beginning, probably responded to everyone here at least once). and i think you'll find that if you carefully read EVERY one of my posts in this 135 page thread (especially the one you just quoted), you'll see that I not only don't "have a problem" with anyone on here, but you'll warm to the fact that i'm actually quite charming.

oh wait, he ignored me, can someone please reply to this post with this quoted? maybe he'll see that then LOL.

sigh

that totally got weird right there didn't it? yeah, it got weird.... awkwaaaaaaard.

Where are the DEVS for Octocoin and do they have anything at all coming out for this coin anytime soon?? They are quickly dying off on Bittrex and it's not looking good!! I hope this coin can pull something fantastic out soon cause I have faith that it has potential but the books don't lie and not too many people are buying into this coin anymore.  Just food for thought!! Still very supportive for this coin but hate to ask for one of the DEVS to acknowledge something regarding details of the path they are headed with Octocoin? Please and thank you
