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?

-MarkM-

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?

- Nova

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:

You made my day! Thank you!

Hi guys!

Vircurex guy put the wallet service back up, it had been down for a while and had not had the ability to check the wallets.
 Everything is working again!

I don't know much about these two exchanges but from what you say it sounds like a good idea to get DVC on there. It's good to have multiple options, so that if one exchange has problems it's easy to just move over to another one.

It's a P2P exchange which goes through Bitshares 2.0. Bitshares 2.0 is not like Bitshares 1.0.

I guess their marketing isn't very good or is non-existent which is why no one knows it's even a decentralized exchange.

You can do direct exchanges through Metaexchange which is based on Bitshares 2.0 also. Try Metaexchange and see for yourself.

https://metaexchange.info/markets/ETH/BTC
https://metaexchange.info/markets/NXT/BTC

As for centralization, depending on the asset it can be completely decentralized or not but the way it works is you have IOU assets like OpenBTC, TradeBTC, etc, which represent Bitcoin on the Bitshares Blockchain. This allows Open Ledger and Metaexchange to both trade real Bitcoin on their exchanges. The risk is in the fact that you're dealing with IOUs but this is currently how centralized exchanges or Ripple does things, it's always with IOUS.

The Gateways redeem the IOUs for the actual tokens when people cash out. It's decentralized based on the fact that there is multisig control of the IOUs like OpenBTC, TradeBTC, etc. It's not centralized, so there is no website you can take down to take all the IOUs out of the system. If Metaexchange goes down you'd still be able to trade on Open Ledger or anything else.

It's about as decentralized at this time and still maintain the functions of an exchange. You can directly trade BTC for DVC on Bitcointalk but you can't do it from an exchange interface and you'd have to trust that person. On Bitshares you're indirectly doing it because you're exchanging OpenBTC, TradeBTC, etc, in exchange for OpenDVC, TradeDVC, etc, which are IOUs which all get redeemed at withdraw. Your risk is that the multisig accounts which control the pool of BTC and DVC can be compromised but ownership is decentralized. Even ownership of Metaexchange and Open Ledger is decentralized by Meta fee shares and oBits.

Open Ledger is a p2p exchange? but i thought is needed to go through bitshares, i mean it have not direct exchange dvc/btc it can be a little embarrasing for no technical users

I contacted someone here. What you should do is contact Open Ledger so that DVC can be traded on a decentralized exchange. It's win win because Open Ledger needs the liquidity and DVC needs an exchange which is resilient. There is also Metaexchange to contact.
