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

[frameLAlife]

so i've been thinking a lot about the devs recent post where he was speaking about gaming/gambling. i wonder if they are considering making Octocoin the official crypto of the site, even over BTC or LTC. i also wonder if any gambling website would even consider having an exchange on their gambling website to trade for the coin.

i mean having the ability to purchase crypto as your currency to gamble with is nice and all but if the user has to buy bitcoin, go to an exchange and trade for octo, then send to the gambling website that would put an average non crypto user off i would think. but if the gambling site has a built in exchange to trade currency for Octo then that ease would streamline the process.

if they did do it that way and there was a fiat currency/888 pairings would miners and traders even want to trade there? if there was no conversion to btc or ltc how would you retrieve your money? besides coinbase i do no fiat currency deposit or withdrawls. At this point it's just too risky.

i'm anxious to see what angle Octo has in this instance.

besides that the only service they've let slip is the crowd funding. i'm excited to see how they plan to implement that as well.

Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing. Like you said, having to buy BTC and convert it to 888 and all that would be burdensome and definitely put off the novice user, but there needs to be some convenient way of cashing out, so to speak. I would think there'd be some feature to convert 888 to fiat currency, in order to make it a viable service, and if so, could potentially be wildly popular. I'm excited to see how this plays out.

Meanwhile, now I've had a user report that he wasn't able to reset his password on my pool, but I've verified that password reset email is working and the link is functioning so my advice is check your spam folder for email from my pool!

I think the deal is that password reset doesn't do anything if your account has been locked. Not sure. I'll test more later on.

First off people DO NOT USE CRYPTO RUSH. Seriously they are liars and they are insolvent. They lied to everyone for 2 weeks about having low BTC and LTC reserves due to being hacked. now they claim they are going to be under new ownership and tey new owners are just going to refund everyone the 800 BTC however many LTC and 1.2 mill BC that were lost on the exchange. Who in their right mind would do that? That's enough money to open a half dozen exchanges. Sounds fishy to me. Yet the old owners are still in IRC and talk like they are running the site.. Oh and however many Zeit they lost. Their site is extremely insecure and if you use them you risk losing your money. I have .4 BTC which is a lot for me that is likely lost now with them. Be warned of them..

And I have unlocked my account with the auto lock unlock email. And then tried to  PW reset and still nothing. I don't care if you trust them or not. This is completely unacceptable behavior and could be purposefully ignored for many reasons. I don't and never will trust them again even if I do get my coins out. Which I'm not banking on happening at this point.

I wouldnt recommend Cryptorush exchange.

Theyve been hacked recently.

I warned you all the other day.....

I strongly recommend you ALL stay away from this place, it is NOT to be trusted.
I have been part of the Blackcoin community and it all started with an alleged Blackcoin wallet failure that in teh end highlighted the fact that they had been hacked WEEKS before.

If you have ANY funds there, get them out. If its in BTC then exchange that for an Alt and get that out as there is no BTC left.

Ok guys i still got a problem here 

Those coins i sent to cryptorush last night didnt arrive yet, as it shows 0/Unconfirmed still so my transaction was not redeemed at their end and blockchain shows it as raw transaction.. How can i get my coins back to my wallet now or they are gone from me forever?

[frameLAlife]

i've traded some at CR. it's the only exchange with any real volume. i have had so many issues with even just logging in lately that i haven't even thought about trading. i mean 4000 octo on there would only be a few cents to dollars if i lost it. but if octo ever hit a dollar i'd look back and say i lost 4000 dollars. for now i pulled my octo off of CR. it's just too risky with all the new surrounding their exchange. i personally haven't had any major issues there or had any coins lost or stolen. and back when murraycoin first launched there i used them with zero issues. here lately with all the DDOS and the BC and ZEIT issues it just seems like red flags.

still, i'm glad octo made it to CR. if they weren't on CR they wouldn't even be listed on coinmarketcap. they would only be on the super small beta exchanges and the price would be listed as  .00000302 btc and people would be yelling and crying and calling octo a failure and a scam. at least CR has some volume and eyeballs and has kept the price between .000005 and .000007 for now.

i had to move all my coins off of CR for now. i'm waiting for mintpal, cryptsy or whatever crazy exchanges related to the gaming/gambling site they may or may not announce. i personally hope the devs find a way to have an exchange built into a gambling site so that 888 can be bought and sold directly to the gambler from the miners/sellers. if octo was the "chips" or "tokens" used to gamble and we could sell directly to them and cash out or transfer out. i'm not saying that's what they have in mind but i just think it's an idea that sooner or later will happen when crypto becomes heavily used on legit gambling sites. the only thing is how to cash out in fiat or they would still have to have BTC on hand to exchange for BTC to withdraw. we'll see. if they are just using octo as another currency to gamble with online i don't think the average person will want to buy bitcoin, go to an exchange and trade for octo and transfer octo to the gambling website just to use there.

for now you have cryptoaltex.com, bittrex.com, prelude.io.

remember to vote for mintpal.com and i have no idea if there is even a request for cryptsy yet. also, there is no voting there but i trade at poloniex.com. many people won't want to trade there because they lost some btc due to a hack. but i email their support and ask them to list octo. i don't keep very high amounts on the exchange due to the btc hack but they have a troll box chat which is entertaining and at least their site runs well and you can log in unlike CR.

i hope someone with more knowledge chimes in because i'm not certain but you may have to reset your wallet and redownload the blockchain to push the transaction out. i've had to do that with my bitcoin wallet before. did you backup your wallet yet?

[frameLAlife]

also, my internet is out at home. it's either the modem or the line running into the house. so, i will not be on as much until comcast comes on Wednesday to figure their bs out. i'll check from my phone and some from work this weekend if i have to run to the office to answer a call.

OK, my bad.. I didn't notice the latest qt so i was on earlier version, may be that's why i got a problem.. now downloading new qt, will see the result in few mins. Hopefully it will be ok   

[rosechose00]

You could also try bittrex.com and cryptoaltex.com. There's not as much volume but you can trade and the sites are nice.

I've tried again, really cross trench have better effect.

Still transaction is not going through after wallet update and rescanned blockchain from scratch, wallet is up to date and scanning every new block so I am not sure my transaction will go through later on. If anybody wanna figure out whats happening, here is the transaction details. Output address is of cryptorush deposit wallet address.

Update: Just to test i sent 4 coins to same wallet and it went thru straight but that transaction was from last night when i sent and their wallet went offline immediately for maintenance. You are welcome to figure out the problem now

Update 2: -salvagewallet did the trick and im able to cancel unconfirmed transaction and my coins are back in my wallet now

I feel for you. Poor guy. Stuck with Comcast.

Cox used to be the monopoly around here but sold out to Suddenlink. I couldn't be happier with suddenlink. They don't care how much bandwidth you use as long as you aren't just blindly torrenting everything off TPB, that'll get you in trouble, but of course, seedbox!

So, today's my birthday! Stayed up all night translating some source code to Chinese for a guy. Is Octo going to have a Chinese localization for the wallet as well? That'd probably interest our Chinese friends. They really like animal coins for some reason.

-salvagewallet was in the command line? sweet. i've never noticed that one before. i'm glad you got your coins safe and sound. it had to do with the CR wallet being down for maintenance when you sent them. sombody should sticky this post ha.

Yep, all good now. Ran -salvagewallet with qt shortcut did a job to cancel that transaction and coins returned to my balance and with a fresh install of octo qt with my backup wallet i can make transaction now without a problem, so its all good now

Is Octo on another exchange other than cryptorush?

[ba8]

Whoa. I saw octocoin.org at the bottom of the TV in my Macau hotel room this morning! No description or anything so I ignored it and then I saw this thread.

This is interesting news. I've been to Macau a few times before and the amount of gambling going on there is insane. If in the future it turns out that there is some connection between Macau and its gambling sector and OctoCoin I would definitely keep an eye on it. Also, Chinese are in love with the number eight and the simple fact that everything about OctoCoin seems to center around this number could mean a lot.

Just my humble opinion. This is my first post so have mercy on me!
