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.

A new thread has been started by frameLAlife and could be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=960933 but for this thread, a continuous posting will be required since we cannot access the OP.

as for the Mail Chimp idea, that is not a bad idea, however could that lead not false inputs from the community? If not, would that be something you could setup so we can see how it works? I like the idea

Mail Chimp is integrated with Squarespace, so it should not be too hard to set up. I have not used it before, but have used other similar mailing list services and assume that the basic setup is the same as the others... Setup a MailChimp account. Login to MailChimp. Create and name your list. Write an autoresponder email. Build your form. Add the form code to the website.

Having a mailing list would also provide a database of users that could be sent additional info to keep them informed of the burn process and any projects or other happenings associated with OCTO. And... like any list service, if someone decides they do not want to receive more info they can click a link at the bottom of the email to be unsubscribed from future mailings, automatically.

It is a free service up to 2000 subscribers. At some point in the future (if the mailing list was continued past the burn) there may be a need to switch to their paid service. By then there should be some projects completed making positive revenue to pay for any costs associated with maintaining the list.

Nice idea, I think google forms is a good alternative to this so I can keep it in my internal file structure still, Thanks Cheesy
