I poked about the block chain and the 7 million-er is one of us (the community not the council) if that makes you feel better :-) I wont out him, as it's up to him but with a little investigation it's quite easy to ID.

We've managed to BURN almost half of the 888 in existence :-)

Well 2 hours in and I've got them into 1 address and in only 6 inputs. Managed to send the whole shabang to WartyWarlock, he's in the process of taking the burn steps so I think we should be ok. In case he has any issues the transaction ID proving our quantity of coins (me sending them to him) is dc22e3dcd41db8944363330aa3aaf79c8f128d2e8dca16b4ae56b46c398d8134 showing 324,000 ish coins. Hopefully he'll have it sorted asap, after all the deadline is a couple of hours to go and he's at work in 7 hours...

Thanks for the consideration though.

For anyone else having the small coins limit, I was changing stuff in the 'input' section of the send screen (I'll be honest I'm not entirely sure what I was doing as it's all kinda un-labled (such as the tick box and text box...?) but it worked...) My goal was to reduct the (vast) number of inputs in the wallet a la GWcalverts suggestion from a couple of pages ago.

EDIT: Hazaar, he beat me to it...

1.8.0 I think, What's the latest version?

I've also had a look at my inputs, and even if I only try to send x amount from an input which can comfortably cover it it's still rejected... :-( *paste* type '999' click click rinse and repeat *yawn* (can you tell I'm getting bored yet?

Well this might be a long few hours. I'm having the maximum transaction issue others have mentioned, my limit is 999.9999999 888 in a transaction and I've only got 300,000 to send across to my consolidated address before shipping off to burn. That'll teach me for going away for the weekend...

About the time slick started calling people cunts I think...

It didn't take long before someone told me he'd resorted to targeting me, and just to clarify, his perhaps 'mis-remembering' is just that, or a straight up lie. I have never had any contact with the Devs, I've sent an email or two to them over the past 9 or so months and never had a reply, (like a few people in this thread).

As of today I think I'll be writing off Octo entirely, if the coin was rescued I might some of my £'s back (not a cent in sight...)  but my incentive to help it get there is outweighed by knowing that djdick's loss is greater. For now, his relentless assholism has put me off trying to get something out of 888.

It's a shame because there was a good community here, best of luck with the rest of your crypto endeavours.

HA HA HA!

Slick are you calling people out for being disrespectful (by saying you winge, which you do, a lot) whilst at the same time telling people to go fuck them selves, calling someone who has (it appears) tried to get the ball rolling on the coin again a jackass, calling anyone who isn't whining along with you 'bitches' and then because you can't see the sarcasm calling someone a cunt who deserves to be scammed?

You clearly have you knickers in a twist, although it seems to have been that way for a while now. Who exactly are 'you people'? Who are you directing you blatant disrespect at?

You call shit how you see it, not how it is. (You should totally look up subjective and objective...) Woops there's another insult...

You're clearly a dick, frequently, so it's about time to start ignoring you. Bye...

My bad, it was a PM on here not an email, sent 30th Oct. If you still can't find it I can re-send it, it had a bit more in it than just 'please let us know before de-listing'.

I did send Richie an email a month ago to say we're looking at a community takeover and to let us know before he de-lists. Whether its because of this email or because some dev types have spoken to him I don't know. I haven't got a reply either way from him yet.

If literally everyone who ever said they'd help has flaked, you already have... but thanks for the contribution. It's posts like this which help make the thread a joke...

Accurate language aside, I said I'd give bholzer time to message me to start some sort of communication going with the community, I also said I'd lurk until I'd given up on him. I haven't received any messages from him and am ready to write off the old devs.

My offer to share my coin idea with the (any) new devs still stands and I'd be happy to discuss it. If Edric, lifeforce or anyone with the know how wants to contact me to discuss it (and it's development potential), I'd welcome it.

I can't offer tech knowledge or btc but I can offer my idea and until someone reaches out to me there's not much more for me to contribute. (As I said before, I have no interest in posting the idea here in an open forum).

And just for Slicks sanity, I'm pretty sure Warty was being sarcastic to follow up your facetiousness...

I'll let you know if I hear anything. Until then I'll just be watching.

bholzer, I think what you've written here (quoted) would make the most difference. Hopefully you haven't just posted, hopefully you're still reading the thread (as it is currently the only place to talk about 888).

Ignoring the '5th Graders' (and by proxy everyone else) leads to more ignorance, educating them with information makes everyone smarter. It's one thing to say 'I think all of these people are idiots' and ignoring them, it's an entirely different thing to 'thinking some of these people are idiots' and ignoring all of them regardless.

What the coin needs is community relations that don't label anyone as an idiot, or 10 year old, or un-business savvy, even if they think it. I can understand your frustration but remember those who post in this forum aren't necessarily the same pillocks that make death threats or harass your family. There are thousands (guessing) of people vested in Octo and only a handful actively use this forum.

The sooner someone (and yes I'm volunteering) is updated with all of the info the sooner someone can start explaining/updating the community, whether it's here or on a stand alone forum. I have a large tolerance for arguing discussing things with strangers on the internet and am aware of the potential need to withhold certain info but the majority of news, whether good or bad is best aired. I can understand a lack of willingness to engage confrontationally on behalf of Octo, but someone will need to, and the sooner the better. And the only thing that will give someone the ability to do so is being informed. I'd suggest getting one or two people fully in the loop asap so they can take over community relations and free up coin devs to do just that, develop the coin. (This would be best done before Bittrex goes live again, there will be a dump, but better community communication will soften the dump).

I made a very similar offer by email to the Devs a number of months back when shooting them an email about 'community tensions', they did then come to the forums and made a post, (needless to say my offer wasn't acknowledged).

If this interests you please drop me a PM so we can arrange a skype conversation (so I'm no longer a 'stranger on the internet').

As it stands we've all lost thousand of £'s (or $ if you prefer) and the only way to avoid that being the end of the story is to start communicating with each other, to write a new chapter if you like.

I'm sure someone will do so very soon.

Edit: And welcome to the board :-)

Depending on the challenge they fancy taking on there could definitely be some extra curricular work for your web-designers. We'll also need a team of people to do the appropriate research, reaching out to other relevant organisations, PR etc etc. You don't necessarily need tech know how to help out :-)

Like I said in an earlier post I, and the rest of the 'council', would be interested in making something of this coin but I don't have an interest in hijacking it. If there's no news by mid-November I'll start making moves to find people who are interested in helping make 888 into something other than hopeful promises. After about a week of that (talking with the interested parties and trying to find some Devs to to take on the technical aspects of coin creation), if we are looking like we could take things forward I'd be happy to let the wider community know what my idea is. So by the end of November we should know if there's a community willing and able to take the coin over. I'll drop Richie an email letting him know this and ask him to let us know before he ultimately de-lists us, giving us some time to figure out if we're going to make something of 888 and hopefully stopping us from having to try and get re-listed.

I think FrameLAlife is in but not sure about anyone else. Now is as good a time any any for people to say they'd be interested in in joining up. I think if it's taken over it should be controlled by members of the community and not just handed to a 'dev' to make it work. (If a dev had an idea with a USP they wouldn't help us, they'd make their own coin).

Can you write one up for me if you think it'd make a difference and know what one looks like? I was planning on stating that it's my idea in the first place, and documenting what was said, with who and when. (record the skype/backup and text based communications). I figured the evidence was stronger than a sign this to say you wont tell anybody kinda form.

I've been sitting on an idea for a coin for quite some time. I'd rather not go into details on btctalk (because there's nothing stopping a dev from taking the idea and running with it for their own coin) but would probably be up for discussing it over skype. I'll also have to write up all of my ideas into note form, I've discussed them extensively with the other members of the 'council' and am reasonably sure it'd be viable, however it requires more expertise in coin and website creation than I have to actually make it happen.

I'd also rather wait until the coin is DEAD rather than just in an unresponsive coma (just in case the devs are actually still doing stuff), meaning if nothing has happened by, say, mid-November I'd be up for tabling my idea. (or whenever the life support is switched off).

I well aware that this is cryptic (but hey that's why we're all here right?) but like I said I'd rather keep the idea under wraps until there's a real chance of it moving forward.

I'd also be up for hearing of any ideas others have.

If you REALLY want to know and think you can contribute the skills you can drop me a PM and I'll try to give you an outline of the idea.

But you're sticking about to see if they show their faces? 

I emailed Richie before my last post. He hadn't heard from them, and since then has added the Missing Dev tag so it's fair to assume they're ignoring him too.

It's about that time.

Richie at Bittrex hasn't heard from the devs (or a squids prefers 'dev') since the last double payout issue. He cancelled all orders on the 888 market this morning. Bholzer hasn't been about, neither have fusionhush with their magic pools they're making...

Ya know, in case this is a big steaming pile of turd... how do you go about claiming/re-purposing a coin once the devs fuck off?
