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

[MEGAman]

Only cheap if you think it's worth more, which at this time I consider it dieing.  No dev support for major wallet issue reported several days in forum.  Only support is amateur "re-index" multiple times.  By the way, I'm sending half of my recovered octo/BTC to Xnigma because he was very responsive and tried to help and yes he had done the basic thing "re-indexing" since he was the only exchange for 888 until bittrex.

There isn't a wallet issue though - hence the "lack of support." For one, the red box issue means you're still using the 1.8 "Windows QT preview" the dev posted. The issue was that a comma was being added to the amount based on your language for improved readability. So 1000 became 1,000 for English and it was causing a validation error of some sort I guess. This is something that is being worked on for the next Bitcoin Core release so the Octo devs tried to beat them to it. Instead, they scrapped it for now since it's an easy add-on later. When I first contacted the devs about it they already had the "final" 1.8 wallet up on the website and here without the issue. If people telling you how to resolve an issue isn't enough for you and you need somebody to hold your hand crypto in general probably isn't for you. If you have your panties in a bunch over this coding marvel you are in for a shock elsewhere. Every single coin can have the issue where a large transaction, in bytes, never confirms due to fees being too low or whatnot. The solution is to just reindex (and now zap as well) to remove unconfirmed transactions. A quick Google search will show you this happens with every coin. Octo has a much larger max block size (now) than any other coins so the issue should be reduced or possibly eliminated. Also you probably sent it with the old wallet after the fork which is why nodes ignored it initially. I know I'm the resident jerk but I just tell it how it is: you are a stubborn jackass that thinks everybody owes you something and you cry and whine when you don't get your way (which in this case isn't possible because you don't understand anything).  The time to start learning is now. 888 has the best, most advanced altcoin client hands down and this community kicks ass. The wallet, smooth fork, website, and awesome pools are all good but the community is what keeps me here. People in here are smart and fun because we've weeded out the jerks and quickly eliminate FUD like the crap you've been posting. Edric took the time to provide a detailed answer to help you out of the kindness of his heart and you throw a tantrum because you think you know better. Tough love because I hope you stick around but man you are clueless asshole at this point. If you don't grow up and cut the crap the world is gonna eat you alive. Let's change that through education.

if you think it's dying you should definitely not stay invested. i def feel sorry for you and anyone else who has had issues with this or any other crypto. it's part of the game. it's a growing tech and there's always going to be issues. there's also always going to be issues with the devs and exchange responses and response times. something's you just cannot control. one thing you can control is your attitude on the way to getting an issue resolved. one thing we also all can control is our attitudes towards people with issues.

i hope this is a better response than my original that i backspaced, "you should consider re-indexing your life."

vote on mintpal and cryptsy!

MEGAman and Edric typically have some of the best answers I have seen on this forum.

I still think while this dude has an issue and he wasn't able to get it resolved to his liking, that overall, 888 has a fairly low number of user complaints about wallet and exchange issues. Yes there are some out there. Yes Fusionhash has had some unanswered issues in the past. But, overall, you don't see tons of user complaints like with many other coins. It's crypto and there is a learning curve when it comes to dealing with some of these wallet issues.

Oh I'm not denying he had an issue. I had the "red box" issue too but it was resolved before I even noticed it and was a QT-only issue that resulted from a totally new feature they were adding. Not a huge deal but at least they're going the extra mile to keep moving things to the next level. The real issue is that he refuses to listen to anybody. This guy's #1 problem is thinking he knows what he is talking about. Nobody wants to deal with bugs and whatnot but I never automatically assume I know what I'm talking about. I'm going to do some basic research before spreading FUD and whining in a public forum like an entitled brat. I enjoy learning and maybe my delivery is harsh but I always try to offer good advice. I'll probably drop dead from a heart-attack before I'm 40 so I want to leave something behind

oh yeah, i'm def not disagreeing with you. i think the main issue he has is his attitude.

alright ladies, you all got that out of your system?

p.s. i lol'd at "re-index your life"

[clapperhead]

Wow.  Not a single post helped me and I'm getting slammed for figuring out the problem and asking not to post a typical "you need to rebuild", which I posted in the original message as having been done.  But I won't get off of the findings... new PC, new wallet, new block chain download won't let me send more than 999.9999999 coin?  Can any of you smart asses account for that?

Yes, I'm done with this coin but been long in marketing.  You are all correct.  I'm not interested in developing this coin.  I'm interested in being a customer.  Mine, trade, consume, whatever you want to call it.  So get it through your thick altcoin, speculative minds, customer doesn't care, he just wants it to work.  How is this or any altcoin to work if it's not brain dead simple?

Yes I can - you obviously didn't read my post. Hard to help somebody if they don't/can't read. Also, I know you're lying about the "new wallet" portion of your mind-numbing rant because this Windows QT-only issue was only in the "1.8 preview" and was fixed a week ago. I even explained why the issue was happening in my post. Download the latest Windows wallet and feel all of your anger and frustration wash away. Or hit yourself in the forehead with a ball-peen - either way. You suck bigtime dude.

The silly part about it was that I didn't realize that there was the preview version, and by the time I noticed the error, the updated source had been posted I guess, and I didn't realize that at the time so I dug through the source for hours trying to figure out why it was reformatting it like that. lol Either way I mostly use the console for doing any transactions anyway, it was just one of those tiny frustrating issues I always see as a challenge to figure something out.

Anyway, I hadn't checked about the Mac version but I'm trying to figure out how to build my own.. After months of tinkering with VM's on my machine, which is mostly AMD hardware, I finally have an actually working build environment. I've never had to wade through so many frustratingly difficult dependency problems as with this. I finally built the headless daemon, now on to the QT. Just for fun if not for anything else.

Octo-Chance is so far running perfectly stably, and hasn't eaten anyone's transaction as of yet, that I know of, so yay. Anyone who feels the urge to gamble needs to come on and try it out! Even if you don't feel like gambling, invest a bit of octos and own part of the game's profit! http://octo-chance.fedaykin.us

I still owe you that bounty for the name! Couple more days and I'll have some coins! Been working on about 10 different things at once and even when I try to set aside time to relax and play a video game or something, I end up hacking away at something else. I'd really like to be able to get my X11 power-saver pool up and running, I've been gathering and evaluating as many resources as I've got to putting it together, but being a one-man job and requiring some rather sophisticated programming, it's going to be tough. I've got some wild ideas, though, and I may be able to pull it off, I am clever, after all. Mine X11 and get paid out in Octos, or a few choice others (which I haven't even considered yet, want to consider what's "different"). I've also put some thoughts into how to accomplish this while incurring a minimum amount of fees (exchange fees, etc) but if anything, that'd be more of a phase 2 kinda thing. Anyway, I'll leave you with that, I'd like to hear some thoughts, if any.

dude i'm just giving you a hard time cuz you are so uppity. you need to learn to chill. 

[djslick]

1) provoking and ganging up on someone who's being uppity isn't the hallmark of civility. he's had his 15 minutes, let it pass with dignity. there are people who are at all different levels of expertise when it comes to crypto who gather in this thread... if someone has a problem and can communicate well enough to receive a solution, then if anyone's kind enough, provide the solution.

if someone shows that they aren't interested in solutions, but only in telling people they they have a problem, then don't force feed them. they've made up their mind. it's more revealing to see how people respond. it's the internet, some people are more comfortable with shouting "i have problems, it's someone else's fault" than rationally working with others to resolve the issue. last i checked this guy got his 888 back safe and sound, and has since moved on. let's bid him farewell. I play games online and deal with people like this all the time. anonymity and a mouthpiece = internet. you guys new? =p <3

2) speaking of videogames, Edric! you should try watch_dogs my man! recommend using a controller for sure, it's not suited to KB/M. but it's fun as balls! when you've got to take a break from hacking in real like, do some "hollywood" style hacking.

and it looks like the hashing is picking up at Edric's pool, check it out! it's half of fusionhash!

[GWCalvert]

Hey Edric, You should be seeing 5+ mh/s more coming your way about 9:00am tomorrow this morning. It's only for 24 hours, but I got a good deal... which keeps my experimental unit (1.1 mh/s as of now) hashing away at your other pool (denarius).

Doing what I can to help... and get more 888!

keep up the voting guys! we've passed 7000, that's 35,000 on mintpal's old system, that's incredible! if we can average a minimum of 200 per day then we'll be #1 in a matter of 1-2 months.

VOTE. FOR THE FUTURE.

+888

TOP 15 this week, TOP 10 in 2 weeks! 

Hey guys, just wanted to say on this matter that I vote every hour, and has been since 888 is on the list. I'm totally inactive in the forum but my support is real, and all my votes go to 888 !

Hopefully we'll get a little boost from a large holder wanting to help a little, and we'll see 888 trading within a month !

Take care, and see you soon trading on mintpal !

i looked into zimstake, just because i was interested in how they were getting out that many votes, the coin isn't anything special, looks like it has zero development, just a cute name. but they're pretty organized on the promo front, and have been holding many contests to reward people for voting on certain sites they're trying to get listed on.

is there anyway we could hold a contest to "get the vote out" for 888 on mintpal? anyone with any technical expertise got a clue on how that could be implemented? like how exactly would you be aqble to prove you voted, how would you "register" a vote on mintpal, with us?

run it for 2 weeks, and whoever votes the most (on one account) gets the pot of x octo, and we can all donate towards the pot. and have consolation prizes, 2nd, 3rd etc say up to to 10.

the fact that we're already humming along with so many votes as is, it could be a great promo tool to bring more people into octo. ESPECIALLY before the bonus blocks end.

IMHO, if i only heard about octo from a big promotional spree AFTER the bonus blocks have ended, i'd feel a bit smited, and that my efforts to get the coin off the ground is really profiting others alot more than myself. i think that it's important to push out a concerted promotional campaign in the next week. we should see the net hash triple at the very least. let's get more people INVESTED in octo. and then we'll have our votes, and we'll have a fair distribution, no hurt butts, and alot more people onboard.

thoughts?

PSSSST MAN! My orders aren't filled yet!!! 

tough titty!

we've all had more than long enough to accumulate some octo, it's about time we shoved a jalapeno up this ship's tailpipe =p

and all i'm trying to do is get more miners, they'll probably dump anyways, and you'll be able to buy, but we need more SQUID SOLDIERS with 8 boots on the ground fighting for this coin, we need them to turn out the vote, and to raise this coin's profile. we've been doing just great with a minimal crew for a long time now, time to start getting new meat

[FusionHash]

Jeah, right, no problem my friend! 

But, is it really the last week?

~12.5 days left. The drop-off will be significant as the block reward will be cut by 55%. There will then be about 3 months of 88 Octo blocks until the standard rewards and annual halving begins. We are hoping to have our X11/Scrypt-N OctoCoin multipool online, in addition to our custom mining software, for the big drop at block 94,255 but we remain concerned with the liquidity at Bittrex. FusionHash invested in a large GPU mining farm as soon as ASICs were released and GPU prices dipped so we understand the need to put more power back in the hands of GPU miners. Until OctoCoin is listed on a larger exchange, we may have the multipool pay out a mix of 888 and bitcoin. While increasing the value of 888 is a nice side-effect, raising it too rapidly would defeat the purpose of mining in the OctoCoin multipool. The key here is a balance and, by offering a mixed payout of BTC/888, we can achieve that more easily. Obviously, individuals could manually purchase more 888 with the BTC if they choose but our concern is an automated system that is constantly keeping the sell order book dry. Once 888 is trading at Mintpal we could adjust the ratio or possibly even pay out in pure 888. The FusionHash Exchange Beta was a success but due to a saturated exchange market and other irons in the fire we have opted to delay the release of our exchange indefinitely.

and it looks like the hashing is picking up at Edric's pool, check it out! it's half of fusionhash!

Yeah there was someone throwing 33-ish MH at the pool, it's gone now

My mining rig died last night, had to replace the micro SD card I was running it from and reconfigure the entire thing, haul a monitor and keyboard in there to reinstall the wifi driver.. Need to get with the times, running an old version of BAMT that I've tricked out a bit.

I think I actually have watch_dogs, just haven't played it.. Just like I haven't played FarCry3, Just Cause, or anything else I've been meaning to play in the last few years. Now that I actually have a GPU in my PC though, I'll be getting more game time in, maybe. I ran Final Fantasy XI a couple of times in the past few days and within a couple minutes alt-tabbed to something I was working on and forgot about the game. Happens every damn time. A bunch of my friends moved on from FFXI to Final Fantasy XIV, I benchmarked it earlier with this 7950, got a perfect score with every setting cranked up as high as they'd go. Serious eye candy, that game. Plus, cat women.

@GWCalvert, thanks for the hashes, my friend. The same goes for every one of you! Don't forget if you get the gambling itch to check out my game(s), http://octo-chance.fedaykin.us.. I've got a Doge version of the same game up, probably impolite to mention here, but http://such-chance.fedaykin.us.

If anyone was wondering about the multi-pool thing I've been planning, well, there hasn't been a whole lot of progress, but I've been exploring potential methods of making it work. As far as the actual pool system (the backend), got that covered. I know NOMP has a lot of planned features for multi-pool, profit switching and all that, but I'm not really sure on their timeline or if it's even going to be suited for my needs, so in the meantime, I'm experimenting with the one programming environment that I actually know from top to bottom (LiveCode). I actually released an app a while back that scraped several exchanges for coin prices, and the language is completely cross-platform, and the framework of my old app will actually work perfect for scraping prices and stuff, so we'll be cool and call that progress, for now. It's pretty awesome because it can fetch prices with or without an API, it can pull data from anywhere. Kinda proud of it actually. Now to adapt it to a pool and throw in some logic to detect what coins sell quick at the best prices. It's gonna be an ugly hack but it just might work for intended purposes. As a plus, it'd be configurable in any imaginable way, and I don't have to deal with javascript.

Ok so back to work with me, but I am setting some game time aside today, for real. I'm getting very obsessive on all this stuff and it's stressing me out, but I do enjoy it. I actually built some Mac wallets yesterday, the *coinds ran, but QTs did not. Even with all deps built as universal binaries its a mess building for i386 arch, especially a statically linked binary. About to move lots of stuff around and rework my entire setup so I can run Mac VM on intel x86-64 and build to that arch. Anyone know if it's worth my time to try Gitian for building Mac binaries?
