sysop. to our knowledge the only dev posts are from the screen name octocoin.

There will be PoS? First time i hear about that, i thought it only was PoW?

So many coins   - my mistake, Octo is not PoS , you're right, my bad

But wasn't there something around the first 88 days ??

Edit: got it, it's on the website The bonus block ends, that's what



During the first 6 months, ~31 million OctoCoins will be minted
 0.8% pre-mine (block 1) for promotions, marketing, rewards, donations, and dev team compensation; public ledger will be available
 888 OctoCoins per block during the first 8 days
 Following 88 days, 88 OctoCoins per block with a 1/8 chance of hitting a bonus block containing 888 OctoCoins (~123 bonus blocks/day)
 88 OctoCoins per block during the next 88 days

correct. then after 88 days of 88 coins it drops to 80. then it halves every year.i basically look at the 88 w/ 888 bonus and the 88 by itself as 3 month periods. so you will have about 6 months of "early adopter bonuses." after that it's going to be standard block reward halving.

I'm just a pool op.. I've had a lot of contact with the dev team, but no.. I'm just a peon.

Yes, keep voting at mintpal. Keep emailing polioniex. I don't think it's on the voting block at cryptsy yet.

if I was you i'd keep it. you will not get much for it now. do you really need the bitcoin for it? i would think if you are patient you will see the price rise. in Arpril there will be announcements about the services and the coin from the devs.

We could use some more hashes, really don't want this pool to die out

The last time I was there, I dropped my hashes ... it's going nowhere, it takes too long to find a block (few miners and lots of BAD luck, I guess) ... and then, you get orphaned

I'm sorry, but I'm better off now. Best of luck, but no more of my hashes.

[Tweek]

Ugh, Tweek, I'd answer that but I've been dealing with so much crap today I don't even remember right now..

I'll tell you guys one thing, though. Dealing with this coin has been a pleasure and a pretty smooth experience. Some other coins, which I will not name, have serious problems and make a pool sysop's life a nightmare. Anyway, my point is that I've been busy so please forgive me for delaying the giveaway until tomorrow!

This has been a pretty slow week so the pot isn't that great, hopefully whatever the devs have in store for us will get the hashrates kicking again! I like to be able to offer up a fat prize, but I can't do that if we're averaging 10MH, so get your butts in here and mine! http://888.fedaykin.us

Also, stratum has been integrated into the main site, 888US.fedaykin.us should point at it too so you shouldn't have to change any miner configs. God, I'm tired. Good night everyone.

That's no problem, do you have a bit more time today to answer it? If you could please send it to me in a pm, it gets kinda hard to follow all the different threads after a while.

Just bought a betarig, more people should join so i'm not solo mining!

why cryptorush isn't listed?

[frameLAlife]

1.  First of all, are the devs still around?
2. This coin needs another exchange, nobody wants to trade on cryptorush anymore (another 1,500,000 stolen Blackcoin today)
    + cant withdraw my BTCs, website is offline all the time.
    We need to get on Mintpal or Cryptsy quick!

I agree I would much rather be on one of those two sites. I feel bad for CR getting DDOS'd and BC stolen.... that site has had issues before but it's been really bad ever since BC was listed.

We just all need to keep pushing for those two exchanges.

I'm sure the devs will post soon. I really wish they were more active.... but for now i'll have patience.

I think you had our pool confused with another, we have 0 orphans, feel free to check. We have found 700 blocks however you are right we do lack the hashes and where as we are finding blocks, its nowhere near enough for some short-term miners who like regular smaller payouts.

That being said I have taken your negative, publically unsupportive criticisms on board and decided to close this pool for the foreseeable future.

As another pool closes, the number of active pools for this coin drops. Without the support of the community helping our pools to promote this coin, what will be the fate of Octocoin?

[SlientBit]

Something weird happening to Octo

Devs, what's up? Pools are dying like flies and it's not because they don't have miners - they're kind of collapsing. I'm down to the last one

Anybody having same troubles or is it just me that picked the wrong set of pools?

[ThePeePs]

I still have my P2Pool node (see my sig) up, but it seems that there's only one other node up atm, but it's not showing up on scanner.
