@Joshycoin Not a problem on the mention, while hooking me up on t for that would be great, at least let me pay for the shipping which i know will probably cost more than the shirt itself because Canada. We'll have to talk once they are done and you start shipping.
And you spelt my username correctly this time  @Squidsin While this change appears to be good for OctoCoin as there will not be coins like before that pay 8-14 BTC for an instant top 5 spot, it will definitely start encouraging users to manipulate the votes in any way possible. I sure hope that Mintpal is at the top of their game and paying close attention to votes coming from a botnet. How would you get a bot to solve a captcha though? Actually, I guess it could be hacked. Anyhow, the more pressing concern is that there will only be 9 coins taken between now and when voting stops for good.... and we are 12th. Based on current observed voting patterns we should be able to take PolishCoin easily as it's pretty much static. Probably GridCoin too. That would leave is with one more place to make up, assuming of course that nothing comes up from below us. But... the others around us are breaking away faster (EnergyCoin, Aiden, Kittehcoin, Stability Shares). Kittehcoin being above Octo just makes me shake my head. It's a coin with 25 billion coins, down from 50 billion as it's re-launch, which will be worth nearly nothing if it gets added. It's worth less than 1 satoshi on Cryptsy and has shown nothing innovative since it's launch in Feb. How they have so many votes, I have no idea. A coin with no future and a ton of coins being added over a quality coin with a future and great community would just be a tragic event IMO. That being said, I just picked up another 4900 OCTO and voted on Mintpal. agreed. there are so many bs alt coins out there. sad that you have to wade through all the bs to find decent ones. I would hope that is one of the reasons they are doing away with the voting system. I know after adding a few P&D coins on Poloniex, they say they take a look at the coins source code and community before adding anything now. Hopefully MintPal will do that as well. Community votes only tell you so much about a coin and it's future. Hopefully after the "hubs" on OctoHub start to come out, MintPal will look and say wow....this looks big, let's add it. That's why preulde/moolah added Octo in their 1.0 release I'm sure. I guess they got fed up waiting for the features which is a shame. Looking forward to the first hub release and the progress indicator. Really appreciate that the devs are thorough and professional and want everything to be right but hoping you don't fall into the trap of wanting everything to be perfect and letting the scope creep to constantly add more features. Otherwise, you'll never finish. As a developer accursed with perfectionism I know this well. |
Since getting into Cryptocurrency I've had many bags, all but two have varied over time. Those are the two I see in the mirror where my eyes once shone.

Otherwise, you'll never finish. As a developer accursed with perfectionism I know this well. I think you described the problems in the alt-coin world perfectly. Everyone is in such a rush to release their coin and get it out to the public that coins start trading with absolutely nothing but a blockchain, wallet and big dreams. Yesterday was OctoCoin's 4 month anniversary. For most companies in the world, 4 months is nothing. No one creates a business or product that has immediate effect in 4 months, and if they do, it would have been in development a heckeva lot longer than 4 months. Create the coin, build the community, build trust in dev team, launch projects with community support. It HAS to take time for alternate crypto-currency to gain adoption. |

Everything you guys/gals have said is exactly how I feel. The slow growth of 888 is just what I'm looking for in a coin/dev/community.

I believe the only game available for OCTO is: Octo-Chance: http://octo-chance.fedaykin.us:3000/But it looks like on the Octohub that there is a gambling option in the works for the coin! https://octohub.org/ |

8 weeks to climb up 12 spots if we want any of our voting for the past few months to be worth anything.
and you'd better believe that other coins are going to turn up the heat on their community outreach programs to "get the vote out", especially in the final weeks, when coins become desperate.
brings me back to the point I've been making for a month now, we need a serious concerted "get out the vote" effort. not just us solving puzzles every few hours, that clearly isn't going to cut it, we do not have critical mass. so something has to be done about it. and it will be ALOT easier to do that earlier, than wait till late august.
it's a simple numbers game, either we do and take it in the next month, or don't and all of our votes will have been for nothing.
prove me wrong.

As I sit at my desk at our national IT company, I think to myself, "How much trouble would I get in if my boss stepped into my cube and saw me putting together a picture of a bunny?" Maybe he'd feel sorry for me because it only has 3 pieces...  |

Less than 30 votes from taking over 10th place and passing PolishCoin! After that it will get tough, but let's get those votes in!

I still have the 11k or so I managed to mine at launch with relatively low hashpower (1.4 MH for the first few days, then 5.8 MH for the last 2 days of 888 coins per block).
I wish there was an X11 multipool that paid out in 888. I'll probably have to wait till late fall to switch back to scrypt and continue mining Octo.
