Ah, so I was right on that. Thanks!

Nope, you would have to read the posts that  unthinkingbit linked, but....the contest was run only by me, just for the month and had nothing to do with the round.

Was it supposed to be based on the round then? If so, it still has time left...

Ummm not sure what you mean this was all on the 4th it looks like.

To answer your question about why the Lawyer was contacted, the tablet contest ended on the 31st. Really I still would have won but I was told only a few days earlier by two of the more prominent members not to go over 60k because it would be lost, so I purposely stopped there, . It was just recently that it was boosted to 80k max.

But such is life!

Thanks for the updated list.  I remember like 3 or 4 days ago Jaisn asking for "Lawyer's" address to ship him the first place prize which was a tablet.  I'm not sure why this was done almost a week prematurely.  Perhaps cause there was nobody close to "Lawyer" with such little time left.  

I hope you didn't lose your prize.  Congrats on 80K, that's really a hard thing to do, unless you have pre-existing articles already.  It's good for devcoin to see so much more content flowing out.  I wonder how much a share will be worth in round 24?  My gut feeling is around 145,000 coins as opposed to 359,000 for round 23 and around 1.41 million for round 22.  I'm also curious to see how many people continue contributing with both, the value of devcoin and the actual coins per share, having plummeted this past round.  

Cause at this point it's like working for about $2 per hour, unless of course, you have articles which you have already written for other sites.  And I think going forward as we get more and more third wolrd country contributors from places like Asia, India and Eastern Europe, it should only get more and more competitive.  That's great for devcoin but not so good if you're trying to earn and you have to give up a more profitable opportunity cost when compared to the current payout of devcoin. I'm banking on the idea that devcoin will reach much higher levels eventually.  

Good luck!

it wasn't over the round chaps, was a private comp jasinlee ran over a specific period (think it was 1st-31st may) so the count would have been marked on those days.

Make sure you're reading the latest list:

Also, the post just before mine has the right numbers.

93300 is the cutoff for round 24.

current top 3:

Raptorak - 80
Lawyer - 77
DeadSea33 - 70

Are you talking about round 24?  I didn't see anybody with 80K. If you do then give a heads up cause you're probably in first place.  I think first round ends at 93,300.  That's what I've seen on here from reputable posters.

How do you write 80k in a round? How much is that going to be worth next round?

I have over 80k registered for this round...

I gotta correct myself.  I said a few days ago there were a few people with 70+K words so I asked why a winner was announced a few days early.  I looked at the distribution again and the people who show 70K or more that's actually their total.  One has to look at the last column (Payout) to see the total from this round or round 24.  And in that case there's nobody even close to the 77K "Lawyer" did in which case I see why the results were announced. 

Man, it was much harder than I thought to do a significant amount of writing without burning out.  Wish I could program, that would be a lot more fun.

Congrats to Lawyer, 77K is a crazy amount to write.  I nearly broke myself and I got significantly less than that. lol.

It's a fifth of a share, probably from marketing.

Why is the most recent one only 9000?

Thanks for that link, it looks like they don't even accept bitcoins yet, and if they ever did they would convert it to USD, which kinda defeats the point. So I'll update the bounty to say that the recipient has to be able to receive the money in devcoins. I don't think they'll support that, which is their loss because they're wasting a lot of money by paying lots of fiat fees.

They have existing issues on the topic of using virtual currencies you might want to read through before asking:
