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

[BeardedCouncil]

I've been sitting on an idea for a coin for quite some time. I'd rather not go into details on btctalk (because there's nothing stopping a dev from taking the idea and running with it for their own coin) but would probably be up for discussing it over skype. I'll also have to write up all of my ideas into note form, I've discussed them extensively with the other members of the 'council' and am reasonably sure it'd be viable, however it requires more expertise in coin and website creation than I have to actually make it happen.

I'd also rather wait until the coin is DEAD rather than just in an unresponsive coma (just in case the devs are actually still doing stuff), meaning if nothing has happened by, say, mid-November I'd be up for tabling my idea. (or whenever the life support is switched off).

I well aware that this is cryptic (but hey that's why we're all here right?) but like I said I'd rather keep the idea under wraps until there's a real chance of it moving forward.

I'd also be up for hearing of any ideas others have.

If you REALLY want to know and think you can contribute the skills you can drop me a PM and I'll try to give you an outline of the idea.

anyone you talk with about any of your ideas you should have sign a release form first.

Can you write one up for me if you think it'd make a difference and know what one looks like? I was planning on stating that it's my idea in the first place, and documenting what was said, with who and when. (record the skype/backup and text based communications). I figured the evidence was stronger than a sign this to say you wont tell anybody kinda form.

I have a copy of it somwhere. I'll see if I can find it.

Google "non disclosure agreement free" and you will find them covering all sorts of specialties.

I’m both depressed about this all, and oddly uplifted by some recent posts - things about opportunities, people being helpful.

On one hand, things with octocoin have gone abysmally bad of late. I’m still stunned.

On the other hand, there’s still positivity in this thread. And it seems genuine.

Now, that positive attitude won’t amount to a damn thing if the devs never deliver anything. But if they do, octocoin could still be so great. This community really is very solid.

All we need is for the devs to deliver...

Well, I have a suggestion..

I know a another coin with a small but very loyal following..  The original dev had issues and handed a floundering coin to another dev, who is making the best of it.  All the following stayed with the coin, and it's now at the point that a few more fans with connection to help it grow could be a good thing, and mebbe profitable as well.

The coin is Guncoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498671.0), and it's been around since may.  It just went through an algo switch this week and is working on expanding outside of the crypto world into real world usage.

Give it a read, it's worth having a few extra followers.  You be the judge.

there's always still the option to fork and take over the blockchain if the devs never show back up.

You cant erase a premise like that anyway, It would invalidate all transactions based on the source

Yeah but this stuff also killed more than one coin before, because no one was preparing a takeover right on time.

Any volunteers for a takeover yet ?

Like I said in an earlier post I, and the rest of the 'council', would be interested in making something of this coin but I don't have an interest in hijacking it. If there's no news by mid-November I'll start making moves to find people who are interested in helping make 888 into something other than hopeful promises. After about a week of that (talking with the interested parties and trying to find some Devs to to take on the technical aspects of coin creation), if we are looking like we could take things forward I'd be happy to let the wider community know what my idea is. So by the end of November we should know if there's a community willing and able to take the coin over. I'll drop Richie an email letting him know this and ask him to let us know before he ultimately de-lists us, giving us some time to figure out if we're going to make something of 888 and hopefully stopping us from having to try and get re-listed.

I think FrameLAlife is in but not sure about anyone else. Now is as good a time any any for people to say they'd be interested in in joining up. I think if it's taken over it should be controlled by members of the community and not just handed to a 'dev' to make it work. (If a dev had an idea with a USP they wouldn't help us, they'd make their own coin).

I'm definitely interested in keeping Octo alive, unfortunately whilst I have decades of development experience C was never my thing.  I can read code and spot obvious scams though which would afford us a little protection against potentially nefarious hired help.  I do also have web developers on staff who might be interested in some extra curricular work if that kind of thing figures in your plans.

Depending on the challenge they fancy taking on there could definitely be some extra curricular work for your web-designers. We'll also need a team of people to do the appropriate research, reaching out to other relevant organisations, PR etc etc. You don't necessarily need tech know how to help out :-)

i can sell the shit outta some rainbows, baby smiles and fairy dust. 

i'm interested to see if they delist us tomorrow.

Since it looks like Bittrex is going to be out, are there other exchanges for OCTO?  Wondering what is going to happen to the coins are were in route to Bittrex when they locked the wallet?

Or should I even worry since it looks like this is a dead coin.

[djslick]

remember how everyone was all excited for august 8th? people thought there was going to be an 8-8 celebration or something?

when that came and went without a motherfucking peep, (who would want to promote their coin with a single 1 sentence post anyways?) everyone latched onto october being the month that something big would happen. cause you know OCTOber right?

guess what guys? surprise! the october celebrations are upon us!
