I agree org is better, but there's usually no harm in getting both and having .com forward to .org.

Could you link some examples of those groups?

Maybe not .com, but .org? Org sounds much better for open source idea.

P.S. There are lot of "Creative Developers" sites, FB groups etc.

My recommendation would be to use with networksolutions. They have a feature that anyone can come along and pay up the subscription for the domain. This would be very handy for us. Just take the case of coinzen.org. Someone from the community that may have noticed it about to expire could have paid the subscription and then worked it out later with the administration.

Sometimes the cost of a domain is not the most important aspect of who to go with.

Right now in namecheap.com there are .xyz domains for $1 the first year.

Sounds like a very worthwhile project to me.


This could be a blessing in disguise.  It would be nice to promote our roots while supporting Devtome and the other open source and creative common art forms which have been discussed on the old forum. It will, also, be nice to have a fresh canvas for our new Coinzen Administrator, whose title will need changing.

- Nova

I totally support the move and change of forum that is hopefully going to take place. If it's going to be open source and creative commons. And I believe Papacrusher is correct with the idea of still having altcurrency.

I'm not that good with naming but I would say opensourcedvc.com or creativedevelopers.com or dvctalk.com

Since the coinzen forum is going to be switching soon, I will use this thread to post bounty proposals:

I'd like to propose a bounty for 240 shares, for sidhujag to update the devcoin client (https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin-wallet) and devcoin android wallet (https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin-android) from its current version, 8.5.1, to the newest bitcoin core, 0.11.0.

Notable changes per release:
0.9.0: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.0 - windows 64 bit installer, autotools build system, bitcoin-cli changes
0.10.0: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.10.0 - Faster synchronization, Transaction fee changes, RPC access control changes, REST interface, improved signing security, watch-only wallet support, and more
0.11.0: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.11.0 - Block file pruning, memory usage optimization, improved fee estimation, improved privacy

If there are no objections, this will go into effect in about a week.

I greatly support shifting our forum focus to open source and creative commons and then having the board as a home for our dvc discussions.  Although the main focus would be open source and creative commons, there is nothing preventing sections being created for cryptocurrencies as well as for the Devtome and our other areas of DVC such as bounties, etc.

If our focus will be geared toward open source developers, then our forum name should reflect that as well.  Maybe something along the lines of "Developer's Den"  "Creative Compendium"  just spit balling...lol.

Hi All,

So it seems that someone has purchased the coinzen.org domain from under us, and is currently squatting with the intention to put it up for auction.

Considering the lackluster return on investment the forum generated, I suggest we open a discussion towards rebranding coinzen. Shattienator has one a platform (ie hosting) almost ready to go, so all we need to do is figure out a new name, and what kind of people it should attract.

To start off discussion, a conversation I had with devcoiners some time ago (weisoq + others) went along the lines of changing focus from altcoins, which no one seemed to care about, to open source in general. In line with this, and to stay true to our mission, I think it would be good to start attracting people from the general open source community, including creative commons (sound and image/video), and introduce crypto-currencies to them with devcoins. In other words, make it an open source and creative commons focused forum first, and a devcoin forum as an integral part of that.

I don't really know how practical the creative commons ones would be, but I've not found something that marries these together, so there might be worth considering. If anyone knows about any, please point them out.

Also, if you can think of any good names, throw them out there and we can see what sticks (and what we can get the domain name for). New gTLDs are taking off at the moment, so we're not restricted to .com any more for global appeal. Let your thoughts be known!

Hi All, I think we've had enough time to await objections regarding the duty pay change, so I'm going to implement this now, for round 50:


The ongoing_50.csv will match the HR page at http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_human_resources, and the number of shares awarded to each admin role will be based on the number of unique duties. The changes should be reflected on dvccountdown within a day or two, and a few people will see a minor pay rise. If anyone notices any discrepancies please let me or novacadian know.

Thanks,
HB

I see that it has been fixed. So all good. Now I can keep track of the round and how long is left and the amount of shares that there are

The dvc countdown is handled by Hunterbunter who is, normally, pretty responsive to pms on coinzen.com.

- Nova

This seemed important enough to reach out here to BitCoinTalk as well.

Sadly our great Bounty Factotum will be stepping down and we are now looking for a replacement. Due to the important aspect of the position we would like to seek a candidate that has been involved in the community for a while; though others are welcome to apply should they be able to show good qualifications for the position.

Duties:

The Bounty Factotum would post, to the Bounty Thread on coinzen.com, after the three-day waiting period for a bounty to end and then add that bounty to the devcoin_bounty_now page on devtome.org, provided that there were no objections.  In addition, the bounty factotum is responsible for hosting files on their site (github works too) with information about claimed bounties.

The business_bounty_xx.csv files are to be in the following format:
username,dvc address,# of shares-Bounty name(reference to post where bounty was proposed)

If interested please PM me at coinzen.com.

- Nova (HR Admin)

We need it to stay alive.

Do you know whats happened to dvc countdown? It seems to be an error:(

Am just bumping this thread, to keep it alive!

Tenthirtyone has given his notice on running the coinzen forum, so will be removed from the administrator role and pay. Ashleysly is going to take his place from round 50.

Shattinator and Nova are working on moving the coinzen hosting to another site. I will post updates when that happens.

Hunterbunter.

Cpsilent has been appointed the new share admin, which had remained open since the cleanup.

Alternatively, we could start a thread in Project Development.  As this thread isn't really an announcement thread anyway, it would be a better fit.

There has been a start to clean out coinzen.com to only things relavent to DVC yet it is a slow process. For starters it is not even my area of administration. When 1031 was last approached by me to install a module to help with spam his reply was to "RTFM". If not for my efforts the place would be swamped with nothing but spam.

Here is the link discussing the forum revamp:

http://coinzen.org/index.php/topic,2430.msg39276.html#msg39276

It has been weeks now since awaiting a confirmation and copy of a backup of the forum from 1031 before actually removing things. It is my feeling that the other idea of having a DVC Holder account type would go a long way to help with spammers. Then we can simply remove accounts not of that type after a week period or some such length of time. The module to do that was added by me a while back; yet am reluctant to do any major changes until ensured the forum is backed up and at least a second copy is available off site the forum's server.

This is the announcements section, for gosh sakes! It takes about how many seconds/minutes for threads to scroll off the page?

I never even tried to look at this section almost since it was created, regarding it as just a trash can full of yet another new dozen coins of the day every day spam.

I have actually tried looking at this section a lot lately, but still it took weeks or months to happen to see this thread and thus realise devcoin even still bothers with a thread here.

Sometimes in the past I have tried to keep a browser tab on threads I hope to keep track of, but after a while the tabs get so tiny their labels are illegible.

Bookmarks are even worse, it has literally been years, maybe even a decade or more, since I actually went into bookmarks to see what I might once upon a time have filed away there thinking I'd thus get back to it.

The altcoins sections of bitcointalk are less and less useful all the time, more and more just full of useless garbage.

So Coinzen has a value, I think.

(Though I see entire sections there I doubt I will ever look at. Maybe those are full of garbage too, I don't know. Why do we even have sections there for coins that are totally unrelated to DeVCoin? I mean I can see where all the coins that can be merged mined with DeVCoin are relevant so we can upkeep all those coins to mine them all at once, but I have to wonder why some of the coins that have sections there are there. Though I can't recall what they are even, I just vaguely recall once upon a time noticing seemingly random accretions of coins that didn't seem to have any particular relevance to DeVCoin.)
