Re: [ANN] [888] [SCRYPT] OctoCoin ◦ The Power of Eight ◦ Don't Blink
To be fair to the Dev's Their primary time frame for launch releases was by the end of August. (Remember the quarters conversation?)
They've dangled a few things but not yet delivered, but this by no means suggests they aren't planning on delivering. It's unknown as to whether or not they have read this forum since their last login, so try to remember that just because forum posts/pleas go unanswered doesn't mean we're being ignored.
Theoretical example 1: The devs wanted to get an App to us August 1st, development wasn't ready so they had to postpone the big reveal. This then clashed with their pre-booked family holiday(s) so they are away now, They'll get back in a few days to try and polish their offerings to find we've all gone stir crazy waiting for news.
As Shellbunner pointed out, We are (most of us forum posters at least) committed to 888 like it or not so it's worth remembering while the Devs may not be here reading this (go on, prove me wrong ;-) ) Joe Public certainly is and if we FUD ourselves how else is anyone else going to view Octo?
Let's remember the potential, the small Dev team who have an outside life, the fact that waiting is what we're good at after all this practice and that one day soontm we'll be laughing at our own little wobble.
On the plus side 888 are currently quite cheap so you could get a bargain on an OctoGlass :-)

It definitely does mean we are being ignored, at least for now. But, I take your point.
I'm about to go on a 2 week family holiday myself but i'll no doubt be reading and posting in forums, I'll also be working from time to time despite being somewhere with patchy internet service. If something is important to me I can't just switch off and forget about it (though maybe life would be a lot more relaxed if I could!). If the OctoCoin project has a real cash investor(s) as suggested you can bet they'll be constantly demanding and getting progress updates whereas we ask politely but hardly get any. Of course that's the dev's prerogative but it does suggest the coin side of things is the least important part of their plans especially without any real indication as to how it integrates into the bigger picture in a way that any other coin couldn't.
Being a complete control freak, a coin with an enigmatic dev team is probably the worst thing I could have picked to get so heavily invested in.
