i was going to continue a series i started.... but i'm beginning to wonder if it's really worth it.... i'm continuing to work on it offline.... but if nothing changes in the devcoin world........ let's just say there are better outlets for my audio magic....... their names are Denon.... Marantz.... Yamaha..... you like paying Big Bucks for what was to be a nearly free design??? i saw a lot of potential for devcoin as a means of promoting great ideas..... and i still want to publish the rest of my series on devtome first.... but it has to be a worthwhile project to continue.... the "open source" amplifier project by itself is worthwhile, but if the reward on devtome dwindles below the ability to even sell the devcoins it produces (most exchanges have a threshold below which the coin is useless for trading because they don't allow such low values entered).... then where do i go? to companies i know where i have a little bit of an "in".... that might pay huge amounts of cash for a design ready made.... and for devcoin's sake i'd rather not go that route.... i really think devcoin has a place in the world economy, and a very good mission.... if it can be kept from the crash it seems to be creating for itself at the moment.
I agree with you. I wrote several articles some months ago, but have refrained due to the crash in price. I have not sold a single devcoin on any exchange so that the price will not crash, but unfortunately it seems there are some who are selling their coins as soon as they get them. I wrote a whole novella for the site, and if i look at it now i think i may have made 20 or 30 dollars from it at best. If these problems aren't looked at soon, we are going down to one satoshi because those walls on vircurex are getting eaten away as we speak. Also the devs need to look at the people who are associated with the coin, with one known crypto scammer ($2.5m usd) working on the project. For what is claimed to be an 'ethical' project, the people in charge need to disassociate such shady characters from this project.
