IS this an abandoned coin or what? where is the dev?

I have sent the dev a few PM's to get OctoCoin listed on my website but he never replied...
So maybe the community can answer it for me:

Hi,

I was wondering what the original block reward for Octocoin is and if any halving/reduction takes place so I can get Octocoin listed to the mining profit overview on https://cointweak.com and get you a personal calculator?

Kind regards,
Tweek

Hello dev,

if you would like to see your coin added to the website I would need to know the block numbers at which the reward changes take place...

Kind regards,
Tweek

Ugh, Tweek, I'd answer that but I've been dealing with so much crap today I don't even remember right now..

I'll tell you guys one thing, though. Dealing with this coin has been a pleasure and a pretty smooth experience. Some other coins, which I will not name, have serious problems and make a pool sysop's life a nightmare. Anyway, my point is that I've been busy so please forgive me for delaying the giveaway until tomorrow!

This has been a pretty slow week so the pot isn't that great, hopefully whatever the devs have in store for us will get the hashrates kicking again! I like to be able to offer up a fat prize, but I can't do that if we're averaging 10MH, so get your butts in here and mine! http://888.fedaykin.us

Also, stratum has been integrated into the main site, 888US.fedaykin.us should point at it too so you shouldn't have to change any miner configs. God, I'm tired. Good night everyone.

Man, my Octobag is so heavy,
some good news would make it much easier to carry

Good news for you:

You can give it to me, I'll carry it, LOL

Just joking, don't take offense

But if you're on a giving mode, let me know

Guess we'll have to wait for the devs/team to increase activity - I wonder if that will happen before PoS kicks in (how many days are left, anyway  )

Haha 

No no, i'm collecting them like crazy 

There will be PoS? First time i hear about that, i thought it only was PoW?

And yes, i'm waiting for the dev team too, I think there are a lot of people holding around some hundred $ worth in Octos and they really should be updated,... But on the other hand, its maybe good in the moment because you can mine and buy tons of it and when (or IF) this coin takes of you wouldn't earn this amount in 1 year 

So be greedy now guys

Source updated on GitHub + updated Windows and Mac OS X wallets released. Although not required, we do suggest updating at your earliest convenience.

• OctoCoin GitHub
• OctoCoin v1.0.0.1b Windows
• OctoCoin v1.0.0.1b Mac OS X

Is there a requirement for the version of Mac OSX. I noticed most OSX wallets I download do not work including this one.

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

It's no biggie. I'm running the Windows wallet already. Just curious if you have to have Mavericks or Lion/Mountain Lion versions of OSX.

Interesting - we have confirmed that it runs on Mountain Lion and Mavericks. We built it with support for older versions of OS X but have not tested them. What happens when you attempt to install it?

So many coins   - my mistake, Octo is not PoS , you're right, my bad

But wasn't there something around the first 88 days ??

Edit: got it, it's on the website The bonus block ends, that's what



During the first 6 months, ~31 million OctoCoins will be minted
 0.8% pre-mine (block 1) for promotions, marketing, rewards, donations, and dev team compensation; public ledger will be available
 888 OctoCoins per block during the first 8 days
 Following 88 days, 88 OctoCoins per block with a 1/8 chance of hitting a bonus block containing 888 OctoCoins (~123 bonus blocks/day)
 88 OctoCoins per block during the next 88 days

correct. then after 88 days of 88 coins it drops to 80. then it halves every year.i basically look at the 88 w/ 888 bonus and the 88 by itself as 3 month periods. so you will have about 6 months of "early adopter bonuses." after that it's going to be standard block reward halving.

This coin needs to be on more exchanges, any news on that?

I'm just a pool op.. I've had a lot of contact with the dev team, but no.. I'm just a peon.

Yes, keep voting at mintpal. Keep emailing polioniex. I don't think it's on the voting block at cryptsy yet.

if I was you i'd keep it. you will not get much for it now. do you really need the bitcoin for it? i would think if you are patient you will see the price rise. in Arpril there will be announcements about the services and the coin from the devs.
