Ok, would you like me to continuously post the steps to burn 888 here since we cannot access the op?


Probably a better solution than continuously posting burn instructions would be to create a new thread with the burn instructions in the OP of it. Then, as we release the plans for the new OCTO, we can add them into the new thread's OP. I think FrameLAlife's other OCTOPARTY account may be a good username to create a new thread under.

Also, instead of everyone having to email their counterwallet and Octo addresses, we could set up a Mail Chimp account (free) and do a form that includes fields for each address and the amount to be burned to be entered in. Add the form to the front page of the website (really easy with Squarespace) during the burn period. The list from Mail Chimp can be downloaded in CSV format and easily converted to a Google Doc and updated, as needed. This will save time and human error by not having to manually enter each address to the Google Doc by hand.


Great idea, a form might be quicker and easier for all parties. I'm already working on the new announcement page also. The website I haven't started yet but plan on it this weekend.

We also discuss an early sale of the new OCTO in exchange for BTC to pay for the block explorer and website. So while you are donating to help pay for the sites, you are still getting some OCTO in return. You are actually getting the first OCTO issued besides the original 1. You will actually be getting OCTO issued before the burned OCTO.

That should be special. In some sort of weird way. Or maybe I'm just weird. Smiley

Hey! We are all somewhat strange or we wouldn't be involved in crypto to begin with.  Tongue

Having a pre-sale to raise the funds needed to pay for the site and explorer is a good idea. People are more likely to help out if they are getting something in return for their BTC. It also rewards the community by giving them the first mover option on buying the new OCTO before the crowdfunding phase kicks in for the early projects.
