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

[langvad]

i've always said that we should push ahead with the gambling aspect. this was the core focus of octocoin to begin with, and we all got onboard. then months later, people started worrying about 888.com somehow sueing us over infringement (what? i know right?). in short, i've heard no good ideas on how to proceed, anything that seems like a good idea gets shot down, and we have nobody that has the technical know-how to actually get it done, even if we had direction. we're a group of passive voyeurs, just watching, waiting for someone who knows what they're doing to take ahold. hence the positive over-reaction whenever someone says they're going to do something with this coin, only to turn out to be lies and bullshit anyways.

the most fun i've had with this coin was in IRC, someone made a text-based poker game, octopoker or something. i think it was this coin, it might have been cloak. anyways, it was actually fun! and a REASON for this coin to exist! im my opinion we have no other direction but this, we should play to our strengths and get an online poker system working with this coin.

honestly, what do we have to lose?

1) find a dev who can build a poker app
2) get it back on bittrex

sounds like about as realistic gameplan as i can come up with. and i don't even think we could get this done. only edric has done anything with this coin, and he's AWOL.

so say "i sign off on this" and let's get it moving.

I can agree with that! I just dont hope that changes will mean that all the octo we have will become useless :/

i like the idea of "burning" the current octo to make a new currency, however how well that will go over with outside investors is up in the air. my only question is, if the purpose for burning current octo into something new is to prevent the old devs from cashing in.. but what would prevent them from burning their octo into the new currency just like everyone else? mark?

Technically nothing, socially it depends how the burn is operated, and whether those coins/inputs can be identified.  If dev has them all in a known address on the chain, or in a known account by bittrex, they could be excluded.

This is more of a philosophical question, the same question was asked of DPR seized coins on the Bitcoin chain.  General consensus was that chain technologies were designed to be democratic and free, an alternative client could have been made that rejected all the associated inputs, and the majority could have switched to it, but that never happened.

It would also be sending out a strong message of centralization and control, "we can exclude anybody we choose, and invalidate your holdings", that's no different from the balance skimming and seizing banks we're trying to move away from.

You would only want to exclude the pre mine, any coins that they have been mined or bought by bholzer should be included in the swap, but the pre mine is scammed coins

texas hold'em on the blockchain sounds like a good idea, now we just need to find someone who can code it, should be big in the US, if i remember correctly pokerstars and all that have banned US customers (due to legal issues, but if done on the blockchain they can't really stop it) so big open market if done properly

OK, looks like nothing is happening/will happen. I am very disappointed in Octo. Goodbye.

All,

We've been pretty patient about looking for a solution here, unfortunately, it seems the coin is dead.  At this point, the best course of action is to open the wallet for withdrawal, and we'll figure out what to do if we we run into more withdrawal problems.  Sorry a solution couldn't be found.

Thanks,

Why even bother??? So many promises and still nothing. Truly a scam coin from the beginning. I feel for all of you that poured your heart, soul, and savings into this shit coin. I can only hope that someday the fucks that did this to you the octo community have the karma that they deserve. I will be praying that vengeance comes swiftly and harshly to those that promised so many things to this awesome community and then abandoned it without a second thought.

Fuck you OCTO devs!!!! Suck it you faggot ass mother fuckers.

there was only ever one octo dev (bholzer), the evidence is out there

Wow - people on here do have real lives right?  I mean you didn't put your life savings into a coin called Octo did you?

I think you're right, Richie. Might as well do what you can to get the coins off your books, so to speak, and into the hands of the investors.

I agree there's little hope for them, but for form's sake if nothing else I'd like mine back in my wallet, not on an exchange.

Did anyone get the offer in their email from the DNotes dev to convert theit octo to DNotes?

Not me

[frameLAlife]

I did not get an offer to trade octo for Dnotes. I did get a donation from them and I know they were donating Dnotes to some members of the Octo community. They sent PM's to some.
