It doesn't look like it changed...

My count went up as expected... I changed the date and time, albeit in CST it's changed.

Nice. I couldn't even tell a difference in what I'm getting paid, I didn't do the math yet though, just looked at the .1xxxxxxx thing

I look at the share count.

Mines the same, even though I wrote some stuff. But it's all good, still good looking payment.

Can whoever is in charge of it, please run the .py script for the word count? I can't get it to execute right on my linux build.
Sorry been slacking a bit. Will post soon.

No worries, thank you!
Results are posted. Smiley

You forgot to change the date and time Wink I'll go ahead and do it.

Although I did not feel like looking up GMT, so I posted as CST. Thank you for updating it though.

 Grin Slowly but surely getting there. Watch the market the closer we get, and especially when it hits.

Ahh, okay, yes that makes sense. Thanks for explaining it.

(See, this chap is far from being unthinking! Smiley)

Okay so you are asking for two such tools then, the first to be rewarded 6 shares the second 3 shares.

I guess there probably should be some useful difference between the two?

Either written in different languages or actually implementing a different approach to how to reward the miners in devcoin?

The reason the standard bounty has the full then half award is because if we only have one, everyone may think that someone else will get the bounty first, so no one will try to develop it. Also sometimes the first one will barely fulfill the requirements of the bounty, but be a poor job, and the second one is better.

As two doing the same thing in the same language might as well be merged into one (and in fact maybe should just be co-developed in the first place, both people working on the same tool.

I suggest a 6, then 3 bounty.

For what, exactly? Maybe I should have been clear that I of course mean a free open source tool.

So are you suggesting we want two such tools, 6 shares for first one 3 for second one?

When I say 6, then 3, it's shorthand for saying the first person to accomplish the goal will get the first award, and the second person to accomplish it will get the second award which is half the size.

I want the tool to be open source, no number of pools using proprietary methods are really all that useful, they merely prey upon the open source community with their proprietary sites/services. We want the actual tool free and open source so anyone anytime anywhere can use it.

I agree that it must be open source. All devcoin development bounties are for open source, I just don't mention it because I assume it, but I'll add that in future bounties.

The problem is that few of the alternate currency miners use Open Transactions yet. Until Open Transactions is widely used, I think they should get coins.

Yes. Although supposedly an iPhone app is almost completed and will then be ported to Android so hopefully Open Transactions clients will become ubiquitous quite soon now.

We can use the same value tables I guess, and the fact some coins are not counted will hopefully be sufficient fudge factor to enture the pool does not run at a net loss at least ovedr the long term wherein it does eventually manage to get something for all the coins that had once upon a time not been valued.

My table-and-plot routines actually nowadays also upload the raw values that they are based on, in a form usable as an include-file for a shell script:

http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/latestrates.inc

(You can tell which asset such a list is denominated in by which asset shows as value 1.00000000 ; in this case, notice it is DVC that is valued 1.00000000 thus showing this one is denominated in DVC.)

BOUNTY SUGGESTION:

A tool to implement paying out more than 100% to people merged-mining using p2pool with bitcoin as primary chain and devcoin as one of potentially many (currently about seven or eight or so) secondary chains.

Preferred is to pay them these extra (as in, above and beyond the bitcoins that p2pool sends them automatically in the coinbase transactions of the bitcoin blocks) earnings in the form of devcoins.

I suggest a 6, then 3 bounty.

For what, exactly? Maybe I should have been clear that I of course mean a free open source tool.

So are you suggesting we want two such tools, 6 shares for first one 3 for second one?

Or are you thinking more along the lines of 6 shares for first pool using such a tool and 3 for the second pool using such a tool?

I want the tool to be open source, no number of pools using proprietary methods are really all that useful, they merely prey upon the open source community with their proprietary sites/services. We want the actual tool free and open source so anyone anytime anywhere can use it.

Cool, thanks. To be clear, I'm not trying to question the motives of the current administrators, I just think this information should be out there for the sake of openness.

It is a good idea. We haven't done it yet because there used to be only four administrators and we knew what everyone did. As devcoin grows we'll have to do more paperwork Sad

Oh and mark, maybe you should add your idea to the Devcoin Ventures thread?

Now that we have an official bounty thread, where to ask for bounties will get fuzzy. For now the split is that any 12 share bounty should go on the Ventures thread. We still need smaller bounties to get devcoin stuff done, and people should ask about those on this thread.
