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

[joshycoin]

Back down to 11 on Mintpal.

I think we are going to have to accept that whilst support here for Octo is strong and that we all get what a game changer it could be, that for whatever reason, this is not the case for the wider alt-coin community. 

This can and will change but we'll have a hard time increasing our voting power enough in 7 weeks by convincing the fickle majority of something which they still don't get after 4 months.  They have no stake in Octo so there is no incentive for them to vote for us over the latest P&D.  That said, it's probably a good thing because if those are the people we attract at this stage then the P&D mentality will come with them. 

I don't think it's a lost cause though, when elements of Octohub come online the interest and volume will come no matter what exchange we're listed on and others, Mintpal included, will pick us up.  In the meantime, back to accumulation mode, next target 1.5 million.

You may be right but I think (now more than ever) we still have a chance at making a good show to the top before the deadline. No bots and no paid votes gives us a nice leg up. I am only giving you a rebuttal so we keep our heads up and keep voting. It doesn't take much for some folks to get discouraged

That's a good point, we should definitely still aim for as high as we can get.  For all we know Mintpal may decide to take the top 5 in the last round.  Personally I'm more frustrated that Mintpal don't see the opportunity in front of them and just add Octo already!

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?

[frameLAlife]

An exchange typically doesn't care about the long term value of any coin. They make money off of fees. If the crypto community continues to support P & D coins, then exchanges will continue to add them because that's how they make money.

That's the downfall of a free market sometimes. But, I think in the long run, when Octo starts their marketing campaign and some of the applications are released you'll see more interest. Depending on how well the apps work and are marketed, if you see the demand from customers then you will def see a rise in the value of the coin.

To me it's exciting that the price has stayed this low this long. I mean I was disappointed at the low amount of Octo I got when the price was sitting at a penny. Now i'm back to almost double what I bought last time.

Eventually this coin will rise. It's only a matter of time. For now I'm going to enjoy buying as much as possible since I stopped mining. When it does hit I want to be holding as much as I can afford to.

[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!

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? 

[wartywarlock]

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.

Mintpal destroying itself is not a secret anymore...

You could delete 90% of the coins there and nobody... really nobody... would miss them.
This makes the cryptobusiness look like a kindergarten and i'm not surprised that serious investors say no to a fu*k like that...

[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
