OK, enough time lost waiting for someone else to fix things.

Everyone is welcome to help fix things in this new thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dvc-lets-rescue-devtomecom-1317408

Please help! Do it for the people that is still believe!

Thanks!

We are about to leave 3 satoshis and move to 2 satoshis in Vircurex. The are about 4 million DVC left at 3 satoshis (0.12 BTC).

Its been months with that issue! That is why I'm calling for a revolution: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13455833

Right now there is a problem with adding to the wiki. A number of us have been getting an error message whenever we try to save changes to any pages of the Devtome, including our own. I have not gotten any updates that this problem has been resolved yet.

If I remember correctly that was a pretty nice site. Is it still accessible somewhere? 403 at devcoinauctions.com.

TT

If somebody wants to run devcoinauctions.com which i spent 6 months of development effort on let me know... I will sell for cheap. Pm me

The list of businesses accepting Devcoin got a review: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=where_to_spend_your_devcoins

Several of them are not operating anymore, so got moved under the "Not available" section.

If you know of any other business accepting Devcoin please add that info to the wiki.

I updated the wiki with information on block explorers and network statistics, you might find new relevant information:

Updates and additions are welcome!

Yup! look at difficulty history (Dec 6th to Jan 3th) http://www.coinwarz.com/difficulty-charts/devcoin-difficulty-chart

Difficulty fell from about 1 500 millions to 190 millions.

DeVCoins are still merged mined at MMpool, I am not sure about Luke Jr's pool which used to include it in its merge.

Whose server is Devtome hosted on, and I guess maybe I should also ask why, if they aren't maintaining it?

I originally set up Devtome then for some probably "political" reason it got moved over to someone else, they changed the wiki software it was run on and added some mods and such, I don't know what happened to it after that.

Maybe such essential services should be hosted on machines controlled by more-reliable folks, if the basic problem here is that there is no machine-admin we can appeal to to change the passwords of user-accounts on the machine that control various software applications or websites, or the passwords of users of a particular software package if all that we really need to get e.g. Devtome working is someone to change the wiki-admin-user to someone else due to current wiki-admins not doing their jobs?

I guess I am asking what level of password needs to be changed to fix Devtome, do we need to change who has wiki-admin privs or change who has the password of the unix-user the wiki runs as, or change what machine it is run on to a machine whose root or machine-admin user is more reliable, or change who controls the domain or the domain's nameservers or what?

My three main servers dvcstable01.dvcnode.org, dvcstable02.dvcnode.org and dvcstable06.dvcnode.org are not running webservers nor MySQL servers because they are so busy running other things, but if I have to I guess I can work something out to put the wiki onto one or more of those machines or maybe even rent a fourth server.

So what level is the problem at, first off?

I honestly haven't checked. I've been waiting for an update saying it's all resolved. The fact that another author is getting the same error message isn't too reassuring.

Hunterbunter said that he had made the Admin aware of the issue. Are you still having problems?

Yes, how long is it going to take to get this fixed?

I too am getting the error on devtome

I hope people with more tech brains than me can get this coin back in the game. I still love the idea and think it has a lot of bright minds attached to it (albeit most of them dormant for now).

The main pool that merge-mined devcoin, GHASH.io, recently stopped merged mining.  Perhaps the difficulty has not retargeted yet.

Are Devcoins still being merge mined with Bitcoin, according to this website: http://devcoin.org/get-devcoin.html?

If so, why is it that devcoin blocks are being added at a much slower rate than Bitcoin blocks?

Or did I simply never understand how it really works?

I managed to add more transaction information in Coinage Devcoin block explorer. For example:

http://www.coinage.tk/devcoin/tx/5c4046e6e64bccf0d188400187922b9413dd83be9bb32a594b7988206f2229bc

That transaction belongs to Coinage wallet, external transactions have limited information. For example:

http://www.coinage.tk/devcoin/tx/80e46e9f17d44de6c648bed643a8654b70555bf9e9bd3fbf1c3f0d8c6f82e662

For instance, this is the Devcoin genesis block:

http://www.coinage.tk/devcoin/block/0000000062558fec003bcbf29e915cddfc34fa257dc87573f28e4520d1c7c11e

You can now run devcoind in Docker:

http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=running_devcoind_in_docker

The automated build is available in Docker hub:

https://hub.docker.com/r/develcuy/devcoind/

You made my day! Thank you!
