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

[LeFiste]

I think the link to the website OctoHub.org    means soon coin fails. All the things on OctoHub state soon, pronto, quick...... I think it means coin is dead....soon, pronto, quick. What else could it mean? Last heard forever ago on speculation. Have faith and if you take a chance, take it with OCTO.....hmmmmm. Doesn't sound good. Fucking fuck man do something or you are shit.

I don't really get what you are saying/asking/implying 

[djslick]

i should probably just turn off the analytical part of my brain and become one with the sheep, cause i'm not getting anywhere trying to talk sense.

hey guys! I bet the devs are just biding their time, i bet they're sitting on not just millions but billions of lines of code! oh man when they let this cat out of the bag it's going to be a code champagne shower up in this bitch! don't blink and miss it!

what do you think the octohub icons mean? i bet they all mean such cool crazy things, most of all i think they mean that i'm gonna be rich!

these guys are obviously so professional, everyone knows that minimal chic is so hot right now, like they don't even HAVE to release anything, they're THAT cool! you can really tell how professional they are by how well-worded their posts are, all of these big words they use. And this one guy from this other coin has TOTALLY talked to them so many times, conference calls!

there's really no other coin like this one, all other coins are just bla bla bla LIP SERVICE, they're all like: "we're gonna come out with all this stuff" and then they never do! nothing like octocoin, this coin's going places.

i'm so excited i painted a 12 foot mural showcasing octocoin remixed with davinci's last supper, it took me 4 months to finish, but it's so worth it! i just want to show my love and appreciation to this amazing coin! my computer desktop is octocoin, i eat live and breathe octocoin.

ho man, do you think they'll release something this week? oh that's be so awsome! but even if they don't i know that they're trying their hardest. it's all ok!

all i know is that this is the best investment i've ever made! thank you magic internet money! and thank you octocoin!

I know that DJSlick is "technically" right, but i don't really "feel" that he's right, so in my mind he's wrong, now i'm going to throw some personal attacks his way for good measure.

[frameLAlife]

so are you are implying that we aren't capable of analytical thinking?

i'm pretty sure nobody here is that dumb.

some people here are, a lot aren't. it's really heartening to read when someone backs me up it really makes my day, but maybe i just put more weight behind every other post that's either vehemently disagreeing with me to the point of personal attacks, or just the usual hum-drum "oh i bet they'll come with something this week! oh they didn't? for the 28th consecutive week? awww it's alright, maybe next week!".

it just still crushes me to read that stuff, every word is like a dagger in my brain. the only purpose that serves it to self-delude, and gives the devs a pass to once again lie to us.

[frameLAlife]

hey just because we look at things differently doesn't mean that people are sheep, or don't agree with you that Octo devs have dropped the ball. i think we just choose to handle it differently.

the difference is i didn't set any expectations that anything was coming to us on Sunday. at this point they either are gonna do what they wanna do their way or they aren't really doing anything at all.

either way i can't afford or risk selling. i also don't think if i backed what you said we would get any different results.

i really think we are at the mercy of the devs and we either will see some payoff on THEIR timeline (which at this point doesn't really exist) or we are just fucked and lost all our money or must sell now for what little you can recover.

Every deadline that passes and nothing happens with the coin is like a punch in the gut to me. I hate it. I feel sick. I end up making excuses like, well, it was a holiday weekend, so maybe that'll delay them a day. But then the extra day passes too and nothing from the devs.

[BeardedCouncil]

What exactly would you like Slick? If everyone agreed with you. ie "this is outrageous" what would your next step be? What would our next step be? We're all disappointed with the deliverance from the Devs, and lets say we're all right there with you, but then what? What are we going to do? Open letter from the people who post on the forum? Written by who? and if it's a collaboration who decides the tone?

I think the fact that you are taking the lack of releases almost personally, is encouraging you to become as blinkered as the 'sheep'. You are consistent in you disappointment and want everyone else to be equally disappointed and angry with the Devs, some people are, some people aren't. Calling the people that accept that the situation is out of their control 'sheep' is probably as offensive as calling you a 'whinger'.

So what would you like, if everyone posted 'We agree with Slick', what then? What makes your posts irritating is that you voice concerns repeatedly and call for solidarity but it doesn't feel to me like taking your point of view would help. Can you (or anyone else) convince me that chiming in with you would achieve anything or make me (or anyone else) feel better about the situation or would I just become as frustrated as you but without any benefits. If that's the option I'd rather write it off (as is obvious by my earlier posts...).

I think holding out hope for anything 888 related is fine but just don't bank on it, if it comes good we're laughing if it doesn't, it doesn't. If you keep getting your hopes up you're setting yourself up for disappointment, if you have low expectations things can only be pleasant surprises... I now have low expectations and am waiting for a pleasant surprise, why not wait with me?

[madmartyk]

Holding out hope is one thing, the DEVs giving us a SOLID reason for holding out is another.  For a DEV to say "a couple weeks" and not provide proof of what they are working on is just more BS to keep up hanging on.


If I was working on a project at work, and my bosses asked for an update and all I said was "a couple weeks" and provided no clue or proof on what I am working on, I would be out of a job...

I have seen it with so many coins, keep stringing the sheep on..  Give them hope and they will keep buying.

SHOW US SOMETHING DEVs!!!  PROOF is what we want!!!

Wake up

Guys, really, i know how bullsh*t the situation is, but it doesn't make any difference if we complain or not.
For me, personally, this coin means a huge loss till now and i got over it. But i won't sell. If there happens something i'll be happy, but if not, jeah...that's the game.
But complaining 24/7 would drive me crazy.  

Maybe you guys should try to see this coin in a different way. It's not like another coin because for the devs, the coin itself isn't too important.
It's just a piece of the big puzzle (If there's really a puzzle... but we all are here because we believe there is one, right?).
Devs don't care about the price. Good or bad? Maybe the price isn't to important for them because they got a big joker, big projects or whatever. Something that makes them sure that this coin will be very valuable.

I understand everyone of you, but trying to make the devs acting more community friendly is like talking to a wall.

agreed.

[madmartyk]

I understand everyone of you, but trying to make the devs acting more community friendly is like talking to a wall.

It's not about community friendly.  It's about respect for the community, we are here supporting the coin.  At least they can show up and SHOW us work in progress.  Otherwise it seems like they are like so many other DEVs that just bolt from a project.

[LeFiste]

The last time I wrote a Email to the Devs via the octocoin.org website, they responded here in the thread. Maybe someone should write them again and ask why they are not communicating and that the community is getting nervous again due to the lack of presence. I'll write a Email, but some of you guys should do that too.

[frameLAlife]

i think the devs will do what they want regardless of us. i'm not wasting any more time on them (as far as writing letters or pm's, it's pointless). i'm just watching closely to see what happens down the road. either the project will show us something or it will die. either way, at least some of you here are cool.

[Tearz]

how can we put hope in devs who dont give a shit about us?

[madmartyk]

I got into this coin late in the game so maybe someone that was here from the beginning can answer this.

Was there a premine with Octo?  I don't think there was an ICO/IPO.  If there was a premine, was the address posted?  I have seen so many coins where the DEVs have dumped the premine and left the coin to flounder.

Just wondering why the DEVs are being so quiet.

There was a premine of 0.8% which corresponds to 711111 octocoins.

Those were sent to this address: http://explorer.octocoin.org/address/8M6xDnbcREGpm25gvtzQJ24Tmy4V7xnn2Y
And the lion's share later to: http://explorer.octocoin.org/address/8brMXBDTyoCF8Bd7apFGXNGHH7Sxv62vYj

This amount has not been touched yet...

[th0ms0n]

The funny thing is: 600000 octos wont make anyone rich right now, and are definitely not worth a few months of masquerade.
And if they really wanted to, they could have easily pushed the price. Fancy faked video, faked screenshots, tweet storm, whatever. But they didn't.
Quick money is not what they have in mind... but what else??

EDIT:
Actually there are just three possible explanations:
- They are legit, just accumulating coins and working on their projects as planned
- They are legit, but the project somehow failed, be it due to personal reasons or issues with investors, or maybe the current bitcoin price scared them away
- It was a well planned scam all along, though very unlikely

[th0ms0n]

yet, i wonder where all the hashrate is coming from: 800-900MHs but fusionhash is empty and fedaykin close to being empty...

[th0ms0n]

Well, statistics teaches us that randomly clicking octo explorer transactions will likely show the wallet with the currently highest hashrate.
it's this one: http://explorer.octocoin.org/address/8NQcJrZgyqJYiNXUuXtbQXn3AKufTSXqmT
but, the octo explorer somehow doen't show it

EDIT:

if anyone has some spare time he could try to trace back this address. if it leads to the first days/weeks it is likely the devs wallet and it means they are still mining with lots of hashrate.
