There are the reason why this coin is already dead :


About dev presence
- OP account hasn't connected since April 14th
- No wallet update related to Heartbleed
- 0 fuck given to the transaction issues

About the project itself
- Gaming crow-funding already exists, by Valve, it's called steam Greenlight, a lot of project already are up on Kickstarter too and why would they adopt octocoin when they already closed gates for bitcoin ...
- It was cool thanks to the mistery around the coin, the community was growing, now it's just full of dumpers and like ten hard believers. The buzz is out.
- Coin2 was out at the same time, they already have an fps in beta
- Coin specs were unfair to adopters after the first week.

Could add a lot more...

I definitively moved on

Devs account often was offline for 5-10 days...

But i understand if people move on because there's nothing to fascinate them in the moment and other coins don't sleep.
I don't think that this here is over yet. But not knowing anything sometimes fu**s my head... Roll Eyes

I'm working on lots of stuff but if they're not able to get around to it in the next few days I'll fix the heartbleed bug myself and post up another wallet. I can't do Mac wallet at the time, though.

Edric, you are the man! But i think/hope they will show up here in the next 48 hours Smiley



Yeah, I hope so too. The heartbleed bug isn't really going to be a problem for anyone who uses the Windows or Mac QT wallet for general purposes, unless you need SSL for a specific reason. In my case any wallet connections to/from different servers take place over VPN, so SSL isn't necessary.

@Zellor You do have some valid points and I can see your point of view, as I try to keep an open mind at all times. I'm still holding out to see what the devs have in store for us, though. The thing that initially attracted me was the "mystery" and I'm hoping there's more surprises in the future. I myself have a few more plans and ideas. While I may not be raking in the bucks, yet, I don't view all this as a waste of energy, as I'm learning a lot as I go, which in itself is a great reward to me.
