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!

Thank you! I'll keep accumulating for now on CoinGather and will bring in my team in mid-March to help with the rebuilding.

Well i have cleaned up the forum as a start

Looks like Hunterbunter is the admin
https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/commit/28381870be88512ad6ed14493d625d581b455fd5

Problem, the leader didn't even log in the last 4 months https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/hunterbunter-24440 (Last Active:   07:44:34 le 28/10/2016)

Also, on devcoin.org (http://devcoin.org/devcoin-wallet.html) says that the official forum of Devcoin is http://coinzen.org/, that redirects to http://devcointalk.org/, which is a forum full of spam

I think a big cleaning must be done... And I'm not talking about the spammed forum

The prices have been insanely low since we ran out of exchanges that had DVC/BTC markets.

For a LONG time I used to buy at 3 satoshis, sell at four, and had huge amouns of bitcoins sitting on the buy side.

Of course that meant I lost a huge amount of bitcoins in January of 2016 when an exchange ran off with all the money.

I tried to work with BTER on their CNY/DVC market but they discountinued it. The prices were insanely low there too but I was slowly building up the buy-side again.

I really have no interest in getting stuck with a bunch of LTC or DOGE so have no plans to build up buy-sides in those markets.

Have you been following the price lists at http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/indevcoins.html and http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/sharesindvc.html ?

Since Open Transactions is still not apparently ready for mass-market use, it looks like I will have to implement those assets and shares on the HORIZON (NHZ) platform. (Horizon is known as HZ on Poloniex).

If you are interested in buying any of those listed assets and/or shares please let me know, I will try to implement the ones people are looking to buy before others although eventually many of them will end up being implemented. You can buy them using DeVCoins, of of course the price lists at http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/digitalisassets.html give the prices of those same things in other currencies too, not just in DeVCoins. The page at http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/companies.html shows the latest holdings of the Corps whose shares are listed on the shares price pages, it shows the total holdings of each Corp expressed in terms of DeVCoins, based on the latest price of DeVCoins. Of course it all adds up to a heck of a lot more DeVCoins than actually exist, the page is simply ujsing the last posted value of DeVCoins as a "unit of account" to add up the total value of the holdings of each Corp.

IS THERE A GIT REPOSITORY for DevCoin, that is is more up to date than the ancient one that I have?

I have a new site, http://LFM.knotwork.com/ that is a membership site (with a free member level of membership) in which I have been providing downloads of coin source code, basically .tar.gz (.tgz) archives of the code I keep updated from Git repositories. But I figure before I add DeVCoin to the downloads I should check if there is a newer version than the one I am currenctly using....

You are of course all welcome to join http://LFM.knotwork.com/ (LFM Knotwork) for free to see what I have there so far to promote various coins...

If people can get the project back off the ground and can work out a fair way of distribution (we still have admins doing nothing and being paid for it) and get things rolling again, I can also help out with some tasks (outside of programming).
