The worst part is that you can't solomine this one.  Every single one of my solomined coins are gone. Sure I can mine more, but they don't "count" they don't go to the right address and show up on the block explorer. Haven't heard a peep out of the dev on this issue. I've never had this issue with any other coin.

How many solo mined coins did you lose?

I've been able to solo successfully, when difficulty allows.

I've been able to solo successfully too, but the coins mined don't exist.

Check your account balance in your wallet against the two block explorers.

How do I do that?

I just deleted and re-downloaded the block chain and everything is still in my wallet, including solo mined coins, doesn't that mean they're safe?

Maybe, maybe not.  My coins are in my wallet just not showing up in the block explorer. So basically if I tried to send them to somebody or an exchange they would never receive them even though they are "in" my wallet.

It's a really strange issue, the coins are each sitting in a new wallet address. Each time I found a block it created a new random address that nobody can get to.  Each of these addresses contain a single 888 coin block and nothing more according to the block explorer. I've never seen a wallet do this sort of thing while solomining. Clearly some coding error that maybe was fixed in the "b" version of the wallet.  All my solomining was done in the first days after launch, there was no updated version at that time.  I never did see any release notes or info regarding the upgrade to the new wallet on this thread so I'm not sure if this was one of the fixes or not, just guessing. Always guessing with this coin/dev.

Yes framealife I mentioned this issue before on this thread, as with most everything else it was ignored. It is looking like the dev cashed out and abandoned the project.

I have exactly the same "random" addresses you describe in my Octocoin wallet for mined coins, same as I do for any other solo mined coin, albeit with many other coins there is less randomness and the addresses repeat more often but some coins wallets have the same variation as Octo.  I thought these were sender addresses? AFAIK you can't simply put one address in the block explorer and have it return your wallet balance.  It sounds like you just had a problem with one or more transactions and maybe something is corrupted?  As I said, I am able to send and receive coins without issues and it seems like everybody else is too?  I am using v1.0.0.1b

If you close your wallet, delete everything from your data folder except for wallet.dat and octocoin.conf, and then re-open your wallet and allow it to re-synch you should see the same as I did, i.e. all your coins still there.  Doing this in the past with other coin wallets has resolved some issues for me.  I've just tested both receiving from and sending to an exchange without a hitch.

Put your receive address in the block explorer and compare this account balance to the balance in your wallet. All these random addresses are in no mans land. If you put them in the block explorer you will see that they only contain the one mined transaction and I doubt anybody can access them regardless of the value showing in the wallet.

Sorry, but you're either trolling or there is something you're just not understanding.  You are just plain wrong.

I just moved my entire stash of Octocoin from one wallet to another in order to a) disprove your assertion and b) show some faith in the network sinc e I'm sure your posts will be denting confidence in 888.

I closed my wallet, renamed wallet.dat to wallet.dat.old, fired up the wallet and let it create a new wallet.dat.  I then copied the receive address and closed the wallet.  Then, renamed the new wallet.dat to wallet.dat.new, renamed the old wallet.dat.old back to wallet.dat and opened the wallet again with all my coins visible.  I then sent every last one of them to the receive address from the new wallet, closed down the wallet, renamed wallet.dat to wallet.dat.old again and wallet.dat.new back to wallet.dat. 

I then re-opened the wallet once more and sat for a while, looking at a completely empty wallet with heart in mouth.  It took a while and nothing happened so I went back to the old wallet and by then saw I'd had 3 confirmations, by the time I swapped back to the new wallet my coins were sat there with 7 confirmations.  Every last one of them. 

The only conclusion I can draw is that there is fundamentally nothing wrong with Octocoin, its performing exactly as it should.

Tx ID: f5a4019778672504bf3441ce1865151e66db3a42176a7bb858dec98f870347b7

The only "problem" you have is that your mined coins don't all show up as being received to the same address so you can't put one address in a block explorer and get your wallet balance.  I proffer that you just need to have faith that your wallet balance IS your wallet balance.

I don't think he's purposely trolling - I think the issue here is that he really just doesn't get how it works. Like you said, he thinks he should be able to put his one address in the block explorer and all solo mined coins are tied to it no matter what. When it doesn't work the way he thought it was supposed to his imagination started running wild and he started throwing around accusations based on his ignorance on the topic. Really not sure how he became so confident that he was right and the entire network was the problem. Obviously at this point, we have a case where the extent of his research is, "well with another coin it worked this way" - the bottom line is that, while there are a number of factors involved in his confusion, the network is fine and the case can be safely closed. I've been solo mining off and on since the first week and every single coin has worked just fine. This thread would be full of nothing but complaints if the entire network didn't work - he doesn't find it odd he's the only one having this "problem?"

I can't log in and I'm getting no response form the support I'd get out of that pool if I was you . Looks like they stole my coins.

Yeah, nobody is getting out of fusion hash. Did you try sending them an email and asking what's up? I highly doubt they stole your coins. Just because you're frustrated doesn't mean you come on here spreading BS.

I haven't had any issues with mining Octocoin at Fusionhash. I have had an issue with unlocking my account with my pin to withdraw my Megacoins I mined with fusionhash.... guess what? I didn't go on their thread saying they "stole my coins."

How about you delete that post and start over. It should go something like this:

Hi guys. I am currently mining Octocoin at Fusion Hash. For some reason I cannnot log in. I have tried to send an email to support and have not gotten a response. Does anyone know how long the turn around time typically is when you email them for support? Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue could be or anything I could try to resolve the issue?

Devs, when you read this post, I know you are in contact with Fusion Hash. Could you pass this information along so that I could figure out what is going on with my account!

Thanks!

That's prolly a little better than "they don't respond, i'd get out of that pool, they stole my coins."

Think before you type.

The end.

P.S. i give you permission to steal my work above since you are too lazy to communicate in a way that will solve your problem a lot quicker than crazy accusations and slander. You may copy and paste for your lazy convenience.

Promised an update today and, of course, we still aren't quite ready. Basically, the plan was to post some teasers of the various projects we are working on and some official details on the projects nearing completion. We maintain that the true value in any alternative currency, at this stage, is within the software and services built around it and the development team behind it. We mentioned before that the first wave of releases will focus primarily on gaming and, as most of our major projects are directed toward business, we typically wouldn't have mixed gaming/gambling in along with the 888 world. However, the generous funding we have received to build OctoCoin-exclusive gaming will also help fund all other 888 development and this funding obviously influenced the 888 brand itself as well.

While I certainly apologize for the lack of daily updates and the slow replies to the many PMs we receive here and elsewhere, we are chewing through them. We have an 8-member development team and have really locked down collaboration and procedures which should help to fast-track the (beta) releases of our first wave of services. Keep in mind that all 8 members of the OctoCoin time have full-time jobs in addition to OctoCoin and we are somewhat scattered around the map a bit so, while 888 is certainly a lot more than just a side project to all of us, we are realistically less productive than we would prefer at this point. We hope that in the near future, all of us can focus on OctoCoin full-time.

We are software developers first, primarily from the startup world, and we are still learning the ropes of the marketing and PR side of crypto-currency - with the vast number of altcoin options out there, we understand the importance of steady information to assure everybody that their valuable hash power is being spent wisely. This is absolutely an area where we will continue to improve moving forward and we are joining forces with another individual with some extensive experience in the crypto world to assist us in the areas where we are weakest.

We appreciate the patience, enthusiasm, and dedication the members of the 888 community continue to display - without many of you handling the day-to-day tasks we would be even further behind schedule on our many projects. While we would love to see exchange volume and value go up considerably, this will certainly come with continued progress.

One of the major factors that motivated the launch of this project was the frustration of dedicated individuals being let down by empty promises. We nailed the hype and are slightly behind schedule on development but we will rearrange some of our releases to start the flow. Anybody can promise you the world but seeing is believing. Take a look around the altcoin wasteland and notice all of the empty promises, failed gimmicks, disappearing acts, all-out scams, and spoiled dreams - it's a shame. Also a shame is the negativity in the media surrounding crypto-currency in general - we're on the brink of a revolution and the majority of the world is failing to see it through the veil of misinformation and misdirection. Crypto-currency will change the world in the face of continued adversity just like Email and the Internet did before it; the parallels are uncanny. Fear and misinformation are powerful tools - people are trained to believe the media and psuedo-experts because most don't have the time or energy to draw their own conclusions. Yes much of the Internet fear was justified - the Internet resulted in the collapse of some of the most powerful companies in the world because instead of embracing the technology and pivoting, they fought a losing battle until the bitter end. just like the Internet before it, those that embrace the currency revolution early will thrive and those that refuse to adapt will fall. New banks continue to pop up on every street corner in America because they refuse to change - refuse to take a chance on something new; they know what has always worked and take comfort in it. Opportunity is knocking and (most) banks see it as a threat because decisions are being made at the top by boards dominated by old school executives with blinders on that don't even know how to turn on their DVD players. This change is imminent and, while OctoCoin itself may not be the future, we certainly intend to be a major factor in leading the charge.

Fear change and be left behind. When we put products and services at the fingertips of virtually every person on the planet that they can actually use and understand, we begin to gain momentum. We cannot reject the masses and leave behind the doubters and the disinterested - we need to check our arrogance and contempt at the door and bring them along with us. Bitcoin is great but, despite the staggering size of the community and the talent within, it still continues to float around between obscurity, confusion, and limbo. We are witnessing a massive change in its infancy and love it or hate it there is no going back. While Bitcoin will surely remain king of the hill for the foreseeable future, we opted to introduce a new currency to go along with a fresh perspective to separate ourselves from the massive amount of fear and misinformation surrounding this amazing technology.

We created OctoCoin because we truly believe it will prove to be an important piece of the puzzle. We understand the frustration of waiting but we hope you stick around - we've just dimmed the lights and the show is about to start.

thanks for the update. cannot wait to see some of the potential software.

This thread and community has been pretty tame compared to other alt coin threads i'm sure we've all been a part of previously.

But, dammit, there are some stupid motherfuckers out there still. Think before you put your thoughts on here.

Just spazzing out the first emo thoughts that enter your brain typically doesn't help you. We have all been there when you are irritated, frustrated, do not understand a problem or are scared you have lost your money. We know it sux.

It's crypto, it's the wild, wild, west and it's just part of it. You people need to develop some nerves of steel and learn how to communicate problems better.

If it looks or sounds crazy don't click post. Take a deep breath and rewrite that shit.

And this isn't a personal jab at you. I'm sure you are a nice, calm person in real life. But to all that have came here with their issues

That is all  

Edit: I should be nicer. no more ranting

That is all  

That's a F#%$#ed up  attitude and it sure seems to a popular one in this community.

Even though a few over-active posters seem to think they know everything about cryptos and anyone who has an issue is treated like shit and jumped on, it is has nothing to do with reality. The reality is that only the dev or the mysterious devs that are supposedly lurking around, know the whole plan (if there is one) and the specifics of what is and isn't normal for this coin, and he/she/they have been MIA. Popping up from time to time to give "updates" that really don't provide any information or resolve issues and questions. This last one was a classic, like listening to a politician, lots of words but nothing concrete or informative and of course not addressing issues and concerns.

It's a terrible approach. Although the few arrogant loudmouths are clouded by their own ignorance and fail to see what kind of community this is creating, the reality cannot be avoided. The fact remains that if this or any coin is to become popular and successful it downright REQUIRES the adoption from many many folks who surely don't know everything about crypto  and especially this coin in particular. If the community thinks the ideal method is to shit on anyone with problems, questions or concerns and follow through with abuse then the future doesn't look very bright. I guarantee you that many are scared to post after witnessing the standard treatment that seems so popular here. We should be welcoming ALL PEOPLE and aiming to inform, assist, and inspire newcomers, not scaring them away.

I don't give a $%$#$ myself, abuse me, call me names, whatever makes you feel like a big man, but I know that most people are not like this and after seeing what the community is like would take their investment funds and hash power elsewhere. I certainly would had I not already invested the time mining this coin. Life is too short.

Personally I don't care if this is someone's first coin and exposure to crypto's, they should all be treated with patience and respect, not rudeness and abuse. You can be a tool and call people "stupid motherfuckers" or you can realize that you don't know, and never will know everything and once were a noob yourself. One day you might even break through the hatred and see that the future success requires tons of noobs to adopt this coin. They should all be welcomed, not treated like crap.

I've personally never seen any coin that sends solomined coins to an address that does not belong to the wallet, I find it hard to believe that this is normal or functional. I've solomined many different coins and have never had this problem. I still don't understand how it could be possible to "spend" coins that don't belong to the address in my wallet even though they appear to contribute to the balance and have plenty of confirmations. Very o strange. I seriously doubt many other people bothered to actually check this. I just found out myself almost accidentally while playing around with the block explorer.

[homey108]

This message is to everyone else and especially the wonderful noob's and potential investors:

Disregard the rude treatment by the few angry folks. There are still some great people here who will discuss things, answer questions and help with problems. No question or comment is too stupid to post. The honest people here know that we will always be learning something new no matter how much we thought we knew. This is especially true with the differences in each particular coin.

Focus on the good people, the happy people like edric and others. I guarantee that there are many many great folks in hiding who just don't have the time to overcome the overwhelming hatred and anger that has become the norm here. Slowly slowly there will come a time when angry posters are condemned instead of celebrated. Their time is limited and they will find other outlets to spread their misery. Disregard them and know that they might be loud, but they are the minority.

Nobody here is angry. In fact most users on this thread have been helpful and very nice to each other. Nobody here thinks they know everything about crypto.... but if you come on here blasting this coin, blasting the other users, blasting the devs, saying everything is broken, knocking pools and the guys who run the pools, etc, what kinda of treatment do you expect.

You may have a legit issue, i personally do not know because i'm not a dev of any crypto. What I do know is some of you guys come on here spouting bs and then expect the users that post here all the time to just be cool.

That's not how it works. There are ways to communicate your issues you are having without being a dick. I personally haven't been rude to you, I just asked that you refrain from spreading disinformation and be patient while waiting for the devs to respond to you.

If you are invested in this coin and want to make money from it, it looks bad to new users when they come read this thread and see the bs some of you guys post.

I have a problem with the mac wallet for Octo... you don't see me on here spam posting repeatedly, talking shit about the coin or the devs or giving other users a hard time. I have asked my question and now i'll wait for a user or dev to help....

Some users think your problem isn't really a problem but i say let the devs repsond to your post and we'll see.

And it's not just you. There have been others from the beginning yelling scam, abandoned devs, abandoned coin, bad pools, they stole my money, they don't respond, the users here are assholes....

None of that is true. You are just going about being trying to resolve your problem in a childish manner.

Now do I think some of the other users might have been a little bit harsh in their responses to you guys issues/complaints, yes i do. I chose to be a little more subtle about it.

Anyways, I hope you get your issue resolved. I also hope you wise up and try to communicate your issues better because with your accusation, impatient attitudes you aren't making very many friends here.

The people here are actually really nice and want to help each other.... But not when your issues are presented in a manner that is whiny, complaining, making this community, the devs and the coin look bad.

There have been way too many other coins that were surrounded by real BS that deserved that type of treatment from posters, but this coin and this thread is not one of them.

Lets all just get back into normal discussions and posting (we're all waiting on the upcoming announced news from the devs with some expectation, I believe )

Those that choose otherwise are simply not helping themselves or anybody else, but that's just human nature

Best to just ignore them, I say.

I agree! Ignore the naysayers!

I am still so surprised how cheap OCTO is on the exchanges right now.  I honestly expected it to be over 3000 satoshis after day 8 and you can currently buy them for under 600 as of right now!  I think this coin will pay off for those who invest and hold.  I am slowly buying up more and more while mining so you naysayers keep selling cheap!
