Indeed, & with no over-zelous censorship - unlike your broken coin thread.

It's great to see this thread returning to life.

Devcoin has a long history w/ obvious potential benefit for the entire crypto community. I wonder if getting it listed on Bittrex would be a good idea? I'd be glad to help share in the cost of a Spotlight listing.

It looks like we got Devcoin back to the market! Just added coingather to the wiki: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=where_to_spend_your_devcoins

Also, I'm using DVC for fun, with trillions of DVC available for very cheap and a still strong mining force, DVC is ideal for integrating into games or any on-line app that needs to track points and balances.

^bwaahahah YOU are still here u willey outlaw!!! ya i was talking about fin the other day had to look him up! :-D #bitcoin_city

If you mean Fin, I kind of miss that guy. I'll be honest in that he annoyed the crap out of me (among others), but his rants/half-baked ideas were entertaining nonetheless. And his idea of a Bitcoin city that's free to all appears to be coming into fruition by a few separate groups now.

^nope we doxxed him looks like hes still around lulz :-D *make bitcoin great again~

maybe with his brother

Any Devtome contributors still around?

Thank you!  

Moving a slab of dvc there now

Can someone sell me some DEV please? https://www.coingather.com/exchange/DVC/LTC

We think this currency has a lot of potential and would like to have a stake for incentive.

It's not doomed, its just trying to see what works.

Sorry. Couldn't resist...

By all means, if you have the time and inclination to restore devcoin then do it. When I took over from Unthinkingbit, capital was fleeing devcoin through devtome, which wasn’t even close to paying itself off. With a sinking price I didn’t act quickly enough (nor really had the power) to stem it before the bottom fell out and exchanges starting dying or delisting dvc. Without exchange support, there was no price support, and without price support the shares were worthless as an incentive, so no one wanted to do anything to help fix it. There was basically a hyperinflation of devcoin going on due to capital flight - devtome was a money sink that never paid itself off. I think in two years it amassed something like 0.5btc in advertising revenue.

Since then, I’ve tried a handful of restart attempts but it’s obvious that I’m not cut out for the job. If you or anyone else would like to take over that’s fine with me. Unthinkingbit is in charge of accounting, everyone else is apparently in charge of whatever he left them in charge of when he resigned as leader. He’s the only one we have to inform. Who’d like to do it? Just say so.

Devcoin is a great cause and if people have the interest in redefining it, I would never stand in the way. Whoever takes over should focus on getting exchange support again. To get that you need to get someone to update the code to the latest bitcoin branch. Either kill, or clean up devtome so advertisers that actually pay will touch it.

The only thing I really manage is the 'ongoing list' and I've purged that as much as I can. It can probably be purged further, but without exchange support the whole thing is a bit moot.

I put this together when I took over to track who's supposed to be doing what: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_human_resources

I set devcointalk.org back up ages ago at the time of the first clone coins explosion and it was getting harder to track all the devcoin threads on here.  Coinzen came about when a few of the altcoins tried to band togerther to make a forum for all... I was happy to redirect to the forum but I was concerned as I did not have access to the DB or server and did not know the admin people.  As time then showed... coinzen went away suddenly without warning and I tried to get access to or a copy of the DB so I could at least save some info posted on there by the devcoin community but to no avail i am afraid.  Thus I poiinted the devcointalk.org back at my original site I had setup for the community.  I am happy to keep this forum up and running though agreed the traffic there is really not much and posts are mostly spam if anything, but it is there as a resource for the community to use and will not suddenly disappear.

If anyone wants to be an admin, or has ideas and suggestions for better categories site organisation etc feel free to let me know.

Good catch! Actually we don't need a development forum at all. The issue queue is just enough, and we have an IRC channel, do we need more?

Great, thanks
Who control coinzen.org though? Because there are many links to it and although the root page redirects to devcointalk, all the other pages (like http://coinzen.org/index.php/board,49.0.html here: https://github.com/coinzen/devcoin/) shows this:

Maybe someone could contact Gliss and ask him to add CoinGather to Devcoin trading pair?

If this currency has been around since 2011, that is strong selling point.

Yes Sir! This is the repository with latest code https://github.com/coinzen/devcoin/ it has the updates from @sidhujag, @belovachap and me. I contributed a few small things like testing and proof reading, yet I still have admin access to this repo and I'm looking for new contributors to send PRs.

One important thing for development, there are several issues reported here https://github.com/coinzen/devcoin/issues which is excellent since we already know what we could improve. Also, since devcoin code base is 99.9% similar to bitcoin, priority number one is update devcoin to latest bitcoin stable release,  which will add new API features and fix lots of bugs, security vulnerabilities.

Let's bring Devcoin back to life!
