On Windows it should be:
C:/UserName/Roaming/Devcoin/
Here, there may or may not be a file called "conf." It has to be created manually, to add in things like node IPs. So you likely wouldn't have it since you're not sure of the location,

.You were right. I don't have a conf file. Sorry. I've seen that type of file before--I believe it's automatically added with other wallets I have, but not Devcoin. My client is working fine but I haven't updated it, so it may not be the latest version. I think I'll leave well enough alone for now.
Can anyone that's able to sync please share their conf file? I've tried loading the client on two systems now and (even deleting peers.dat) can't find any peers.
If you can tell me where I'm likely to find it, I'll be happy to share mine with you. I do the default windows installation. I always struggle to find wallet related files because they go into hidden files so I need to know the likely direct path (or how to unhide).

If it incorporates 'a built in incentive for someone in the know to write that article, invoice it, and post it' then we still have very different perspectives and ideals, and in my opinion gets to the core of historical problems.
I can't be the one to write that article right now because I'm not in the know. Not anymore
I know I've been involved in discussions before, but I do not know what the current state of affairs is. I'm trying to find out. But no one else here seems to know, or if they know, they're not sharing.I figured out what happened. When the changes came I did get sent a PM through CoinZen, but it never forwarded to my email so I never saw it. And I wasn't active on the forum to see that I had a message there. It looks like everything has moved over to CoinZen, so I'm going to have to dig through there to figure things out--unless you'd like to fill me in. My current admin duties do not necessarily require me to know the latest developments in order to do my duties.
I agree with you that there is no benefit to getting personal here. This thread is going to be someone's first impression of Devcoin, because Bitcoin Talk is still considered the go to forum for all things crypto including alt coins. For this reason, (and this is a general recommendation) despite how one might feel about whether an admin who asks a question should have done homework or is motivated by greed or whatever, it's still more professional to just answer a question that someone asks. And the answer can include pointing to a link (a CoinZen thread, even) where the answer is posted so as not to repeat things too much. But there should be a straight answer. I was really speaking to that when I gave my feedback and suggestion.

I missed all that. Life got in the way. As far as I know I was merely asking questions. I'd be happy to be pointed to a summary article (on the Devtome?) outlining all the changes and plans for the future.
The only people I've heard "moaning" were people who continued to work as admins and who for whatever reason stopped getting paid. That seems reasonable. I know I "moaned" about not being informed of those changes via PM which would affect my role as admin even though I was receiving PM correspondence in relation to specific admin duties. That seems reasonable too, imo.
Just some feedback: throwing out a blanket statement about "admins, recipients and writers who take little interest beyond their own benefit or input" is a real turnoff. I'm assuming it wasn't directed at me personally, but it's hard to not feel accused nonetheless. I can't imagine that is very good for what Devcoin stands for and is trying to accomplish in the world.
A suggestion: if someone asks a question, please just answer it. If the answer is buried earlier in the thread and people are still asking about it, that means an FAQ article needs to be written and the link posted on a regular basis as well as the front page of the Devtome. There's a built in incentive for someone in the know to write that article, invoice it, and post it.
You're an admin, someone who should strive to be a proactive informer not the informed, and claiming lost earnings on those terms. An objective observer might conclude there's an inherent conflict in pursuing that angle while also stating fundamental information was missed because life got in the way. You were also party to lengthy discussions on coinzen about various changes and plans. I know this because I was also involved in them. Whether you're turned-off by honest comments by someone who isn't an admin is a matter for your logic or insecurities not mine. And whether you should feel accused is a matter for your conscience not mine.The only people I've heard "moaning" were people who continued to work as admins and who for whatever reason stopped getting paid.

However I won't continue as getting personal wouldn't make for a pleasant exchange and there's no upside for either of us in that. But perhaps you should ask yourself what it is you think Devcoin stands for and is trying to accomplish, rather than throwing out that defensive and patronising rebuke. If it incorporates 'a built in incentive for someone in the know to write that article, invoice it, and post it' then we still have very different perspectives and ideals, and in my opinion gets to the core of historical problems.
Hunterbunter's role and proposed changes were made clear months ago by him and by UTB. He put quite a bit of time into information and suggestions, and there were comments by people posting recently claiming not to know.

Sidhujag, myself and others proposed changes to alter the dynamics and avoid reaching an inevitable stasis. Many put a lot of effort into various working aspects with their own constructive opinions. They were dismissed by the few, largely out of economic ignorance and personal greed. Hopefully recent changes and renewed input by HB, Nova and others can turn things around, and personally I don't have a lot of time for admins, recipients and writers who take little interest beyond their own benefit or input, then moan about it.
The simple ethos of Devcoin is something beyond easy gain or skewed monetary advantage of a pyramid like most cryptos. Making it a success requires adhering to that ethos of community involvement and thinking further forward than the latest receiver file.

You have been with devcoin for months and u still don't remember the one and only dev it had for over 2 years? I made a post a few pages back.. I hope that gives closure. If another dev wants to can contact me so I can set him up.
If you had asked me this a week ago I would have said Unthinkingbit. But there's been some talk here that UTB has stepped down or passed the torch to someone else. HunterBunter's name has been thrown around as the current lead dev, but I haven't seen him confirm it himself.
So yes, despite how long I've been around with Devcoin, I am currently not sure who the current lead developer is. If you happen to know, then please say who it is. Thanks.
They're not "fairly easy to earn" when you've been contributing for 2+ months and have gotten nothing since you were, for some reason, removed from all of the payout lists. This is the part that bothers me. Basically, the work I've been doing has just been getting other people higher payouts.
They're easy to earn by writing content. That's how most of us got started. But yes, that falls apart if the work we do doesn't trigger the expected payout. As far as I can tell there's nothing wrong with the script that pays for writing. The script to pay admins needs some work.
And I'll echo the sentiment that has been hinted at here, which is that whoever the Devcoin developers are now, can you please "stand up?" I realize devs have better things to do than spend a lot of time on forums, but... a brief update post once or twice a week goes a long way.

even with the devs under hibernation the price is slowly going up, I'm impressed. are they secretly buying from their freeze cell before announcing a comeback? usually that's the way devs make money: promise amazing things, pump the price and sell the coins, once the are done, disappoint the buyers, undergo hibernation, buy the lows, make a comeback, new promises again, pump up the price, sell to the gullible public... rinse and repeat.
there are no devs lol

so let's find hunterbunter. also, anyway devcoin inflation can be reduced? periodic halving like bitcoin would be definitely needed here. maybe every 2 years starting from like... now!!
I do not think of it that it will come.

I'm not sure that there's much of anything to decide. Devcoins are fairly easy to earn; there's nothing lost to continue to earn them like that. But, to heavily invest a lot of time or resources into them may not be such a good choice right now.
