retweeted the video, great job! very "middle america, vote or die" vibe going on with the tunes lol.
also, i'm CoinJesus, feel free to give me a follow, i'll re-follow anyone else, trying to get my numbers out, mostly tweet about blackcoin and octocoin.
and hey, bad news, we were overtaken back to the #17 spot guys. this is exactly what i was talking about, the marginal movement forward is awsome don't get me wrong, but we don't have the momentum to slingshot past the current competitors, and the known unknown competitors which can show up overnight and overtake us.
that video is the first piece of the puzzle, i think that the next piece would be a brainstormed list of places that we can post that video to, ie. i want people to post hyperlinks in this thread, and i'll compile a list for us. what twitter accounts to target ie. adding @whatever in the tweet gets it seen by that person, and potentially all of their followers.
what reddit channels to bring it up in
what IRC channels to post in (this one's a big deal imo, already linked pro-octo tweets in the mintpal channel, not sure if anyone took notice)
and if we can keep linking the SAME tweet over a wide area, then that's how we'll get nice stats for that tweet, ie. 500 views for 1 instead of 10 views for 50 separate ones. that will have more retweets and favorites. and that reminds me, be sure to favorite every pro octo tweet you see!
what BCT threads to post in.
keep in mind, there's some places where we do NOT want to post, ie. in any coin's "home turf" who have proved themselves confrontational, and who like to attack other coins they see as a threat. we do NOT need any bad blood in the community. just ONE bad event can sour thousands of people, and invite DDoS attacks on our nodes, pools etc. so please do NOT instigate anything. we comport ourselves with dignity and honour. we're the gentleocto's of the deep, and we do not fuck around.

Signed into my main Twitter account {I have a few  } and followed those I could locate. Tweeted the video to my 2000+ followers there. Not sure how many of them are into cryptocurrency, but there are quite a few libertarians and card players in the bunch. I need to log in there more... Today was my first tweet since January!?! Also, when you tweet about OctoCoin use the hash tag #Vote888Mintpal. You may also want to mention in your tweets @mintpal and/or @octocoin so they can see the effort that is being put forth to get listed. |

Since getting into Cryptocurrency I've had many bags, all but two have varied over time. Those are the two I see in the mirror where my eyes once shone.

I had an good promo idea for later, when Octocoin is bigger than now. Cause Octo has to do with gambling, maybe we could sponsor 1-2 good (and maybe famous) Pokerplayers to the WSOP. This would be a great story i think. All in all, maybe someone could make a Octocoin Poker logo, so i'll print them on shirts and give them to some of my friends. Living only a few kilometers away from Europe's biggest pokerroom, so maybe they'll wear it while they're playing there.  |

How long will people dump for a price like this?
It's private multipools mining 888 and auto-dumping for BTC - we've been dealing with the same situation for a while with Murraycoin. There is no strategy - they just sell to the top bidders no matter what. If there isn't enough buy support, the price just slowly dwindles down. The good news is that it can recover rapidly as there is virtually zero downward pressure on many of these quality alts. If FusionHash can get their X11 multipools up soon it would quickly reverse the trend. At sub-10 BTC daily volume, you will not see an accurate representation of an altcoin's value. *edit: also realized the block reward drops by over 50% in about a week - this will really cut down on the auto-dumps. |

Ah okay. That makes sense to me. I just couldn't believe that there are people out there selling their coins for nothing. I hope by next week things will start getting better.  |

See, if I can ever get my multipool situation off the ground, its things like this I want to avoid. I'm still working on a gameplan but the amount of distractions, detours, and interventions by Murphy's Law have been completely ridiculous. @Thenotfatguy - Sent you that bounty I owe ya Sorry it took so long, pumping coins back into my own pool plus having to reformat my mining rig's screwy usb stick every other day is getting tedious! edit: at least one of my detours involved a close encounter with a female kind. |

The new OctoCoin Reddit Tip Bot is nearly complete - it was temporarily bumped down the priority list as more resources were needed to collaborate on a key aspect of one of our big projects (which is now nearing completion). We will be releasing a small (optional) update to the OctoCoin client which adds a bit more functionality, fixes a couple of minor bugs (such as issues where the QT client was sometimes closing incorrectly on Windows if it was still open during a reboot/etc), and will be implementing a (beta) stealth addresses feature. Of course, as strong believers in the open source movement, we will be contributing a number of the bug fixes and minor enhancements to Bitcoin Core (obviously, the vast majority of the OctoCoin code is a direct result of their effort and it's only fair to give back). The stealth addresses feature will add additional anonymity to OctoCoin and we should be the first coin to include this technology in our official client (although I'm sure it will be "borrowed" by a number of other coins shortly after we release the source - we're debating a binary-only release for the first 30 days).
Finally, we have been given the green light to provide a teaser for one of our upcoming projects: OctoBank (working title). OctoBank will fill a variety of voids which include paying interest on deposited 888, providing economical escrow services, an Android app (and hopefully an iOS app although we haven't broken ground on it yet), and, in the near future, a debit card which allows you to take out cash in your local currency at a variety of ATMs (countries/currencies TBA). While we originally intended to act as a 2-way exchange as well, we ran into a number of hurdles with USD restrictions and banking regulations (paperwork has been filed but the wheels are moving slowly!) but the features we've listed here will all be launch features and will absolutely include US ATMs (we will just be working with a 3rd party bank to facilitate the transactions initially). Obviously, we aren't currently at a volume where this service seems to make a lot of sense but I can assure you we will get there before you know it. Based on our release schedule, OctoBank (can't stress enough that this is just our working title - can you tell I hate it?) should be the 3rd major OctoCoin-exclusive service we launch (while the two before it will, unfortunately, remain shrouded in secrecy for the time-being).
We targeted Q3 2014 for the release of our first 3 major services and, well... we're now in Q3. The pressure is high but things are progressing well. As somebody who knows where we're at, understands what remains, and also must consider the additional management of services as they are released... I think it would be prudent to lower expectations to 2 services released in Q3 - if we can beat that, it's just icing on the cake. It's important to stay on top of the less-complex tasks as well such as ensuring the OctoCoin Core remains solid and technologically advanced and our marketing strategy is put into effect as well. There is an important balance here and I'm confident we can reach that balance.
I want to close by once again thanking our awesome community - you are all OctoWorthy.
