Any coin that is a game changer is highly promoted socially or DOES something. Since Octocoin isn't being highly promoted socially, what is something it might do to make it a "game changer" as you say (just one real thing, common, one thing)... Many statements like "powerful business component", "most compelling cryptocurrency in history", and "most technologically advanced services" have been made along with some mysterious connection to SXSW which has never been explained and are currently all talk and don't change any games, at all...

The dev just got done saying the coin has only been out for 60 hours lol. The OctoCoin subreddit is becoming more active and there is supposedly a tip bot on the way. There are quite a few people tweeting about it and 888 is getting votes on several exchanges. There are 25 26 pages in this thread and the dev just got done saying it's been in the top 5 in average network hash power since it launched (for scrypt coins.) When you figure there are over 150 active scrypt coins top 5 isn't bad for being just over 2 days since 888 was released with limited info. My guess is the early bonus reward blocks are promotion enough for right now. There have been 8000 wallets downloaded in just over 2 days? That's a crazy number. FusionHash reported over 4000 registrations at their 888 pool? That's nutty man. What the hell is it with you people in such a rush to pull out all of the stops immediately? Are you that desperate to dump your coins that you're going to sit in here and whine that things aren't moving fast enough after 2 days? If you aren't happy with where things are at maybe you could put some effort in if you stand to gain from it. I know I plan to start chipping in with community building soon. My guess is all of these questions will be answered with time and if you are too impatient to wait more than 2 days for everything to be fully developed and marketed you don't deserve the rewards - don't let the door hit you on the way out. After the block rewards drop it will become more critical to begin other promotions only an idiot would expect every single promotion to be run at once immediately at launch. These guys claim they didn't build 888 to be a pump-and-dump so if that's what you're looking for you are in the wrong place. Maybe it's all bullshit and there is nothing here just like every other coin - who knows - all I know is these guys are well connected and 888 seems to be cruising along from where I'm sitting. They launched with a great website, great wallet, great pools, have the best looking block explorer I've ever seen. These current blocks are so huge that right now it's not even a gamble to mine - even if all of the devs are dead everybody mining right now stands to make a nice profit.

Sorry to rant but I just can't stand impatient whiners that have to shit all of over everything. The crypto world is full of them and they always end up poor because they are horrible decision makers. Eventually they will be weeded out.

I'm loving this coin so far and everybody I talk to that has been mining it seems super cool. Profitability on everything else right now is a joke and barely covers the power bill so I might as well take a chance on something that could be big. Yes info and updates have been thin - who cares? At least wait a week before throwing a tantrum.

Woah buddy! I was trying to have a little fun there. I have enjoyed the "mysteriousness of this coin" - its been quite entertaining. I just think its funny how there have been so many grand claims (as I quoted), but absolutely no evidence. Maybe it's their strategy or maybe it's bs. Maybe it is leading up to a big pump and dump or maybe it's gonna have real value. I don't know. I certainly am not being impatient, just asking for something real after all the big claims (had absolutely no response from the devs). You don't think there is any bullshit? Go look at the 2,000 followers octocoin has and you will see that the majority of them are purchased as evidence in the similarity of their names, most are following nearly 2000 (the maximum without being followed back proportionately) and hardly followed by anyone. You are too quick to believe you know what I am doing. I was just having a little fun dude. Really, why would you assume I'm trying to dump or make money by my post. Chill out bra. I don't know who you or who these octocoin people are and I don't want to know. This is a forum for discussion, not accusations of my motives and character as based on a post I made out of curiosity and fun. Fun reading your response though!

And dude, many of the handful of successful coins were clear about their motives, didn't make mysterious grand claims, and had excellent, legitimate social communities from the get go. Curiosity and transparency are healthy. Mystery is fun too! No need to freak out though. That figure about the 8,000 wallet download comes from the dev, who is extremely secretive and I have no way of knowing if that is true or not... I didn't even attack the dev who you seem to be very careful to defend. Seems a bit odd how defensive you became from my original statement. I didn't even shit on anything or whine, man LOL. Like a loaded gun...
