PLEASE NOTE :- There appears to be an issue with the source, as other pools have also had issues. Please mine at own risk (I have considered closing pool).

LAUNCH FAILED

The only potential issue with the source are file permissions on the directory after unzipping without specifying attributes - chmod 777 -R on the directory will resolve any permission-related building issues. We will be updating GitHub shortly which will have the correct file attributes if cloned.

We are dealing with pool operators at a variety of skill levels - if you requested to have your pool added, we added it. We could have given you a quiz first to ensure you were up to the challenge but that's part of what makes a launch so exciting - it's a goldrush. Everybody was in the same boat dealing with the same issues - nobody had any major advantages. Solo miners likely came out of this in the worst shape as they weren't getting work fast enough early - that's why I urged people not to solo mine and to create accounts at multiple pools for backup.

We had a few DDoS attacks on pools/nodes but other than that the problems the pools are experiencing are due to the inability to handle the traffic. We had over 1 Gh/s on the network within 10 minutes and, with the low starting difficulty, blocks were being found faster than the servers could handle. Now that things are settling down and network speed is being spread across more pools, we are experiencing fewer issues.

The pools will be able to re-enable statistics shortly, I'm sure. If you have ever been around for a high-profile launch, there are often issues with pools/etc in the early stages - sometimes physics simply gets in the way. Also, the high-profile launch attracted DDoS attacks at FusionHash and the main OctoCoin nodes - in my opinion, these were handled quite well, considering.

We aren't even 2 hours into the launch here and there are thousands of 888 OctoCoin blocks still out there - things will only get better from here.

Fk this pool, mining for 1,5 Hours only got 7,5 coins fk

[mdawg]

fusionhash pool is down and every single block found has had 0 shares.... Something is wrong.

[bromstar]

Fusionhash backend is down - no coins showing up nether confirmed/unconfirmed after 1hr mining. It is really a mess...

[princecash]

This coin has many ready investors but it turned down everyone through bad source.
Too bad

Glad to see it wasn't just me.  I haven't got any coins from fusionhash at all in the last hour.

The source can be built on FreeBSD using these instructions:
http://www.unibia.com/unibianet/freebsd/freebsd-ports-many-alternative-crypto-currencies#octocoin

For the moment I'm hosting a copy of it on my Github account since these seems to be no official Github account.

there's no problem with the source ..


we've already found gazilion blocks ... go to the "last blocks" tab


http://freebtc.eu:8888/static/

Whats up with your vardfif? 2k? and fluctauates ~10 seconds

use this generator to get parameters for your hashrate, than the pool will assign you shares with good diff:

http://taken.pl/generator.html

-u YourWalletAddress+0.00081490   for 700khs

works like a charm, thanks!

I can not see any relationship between 888 coin and this generator

just enter your hashrate and press generate, add the +0.000xxxxx to the end of walletaddress, also lurk more

I know, first post and uploading a wallet.  I know that's usually a red flag.  Just trying to make the launch a little more interesting.

Hopefully this gets appreciated in the end.

http://oct.minecryptocoins.org/ SCAMMERS??

Mining there for 1 hour with 2.5MH/s got only 7.4 uncomfirmed coins ??

DUDE STFU you call EVERY single pool at EVERY launch a scam that doesn't pay out instantly. You pull this shit in every single thread you post in. You are a scumbag noob and the worst kind of miner in the community.

LOL@ high profile launch...

This is far from it!

[bromstar]

Has someone ever get confirmed/unconfirmed 888 coins on Fusionhash?

I'm pleased to report that the pool at http://[Suspicious link removed] is mining blocks. Please come and mine with us! For the first 8 days our fee is 0.5%, PPLNS, and we will be doing a weekly giveaway of 25% of our earnings. Please read the notice on the site, and use our stratum servers at [Suspicious link removed] (US) and [Suspicious link removed] (Singapore).

First time I've ever seen a pool use whole new subdomains for coins/endpoint rather than a subdomain like useast.[Suspicious link removed].  Any particular reason for that?

Also why didn't we find any blocks in the first 500 or so?

*EDIT 2014 and we can't link to .tk domains?!  Really?! 

I have my reasons for using completely separate domains for my stratum servers.. And how lame, can't link .tk domains? I just saw that.. octostratum1 (dot) tk (US) and octostratum2 (dot) tk (Singapore). Main site is http://octocoinpool (Dot) tk
