Topic: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated - page 142. (Read 1058949 times)
Fair enough then on the website, constructive criticism is a good thing. As HB said I think it was optimised for mobiles and smaller screens. Some changes in line with coming adjustments might be good, although I don't really see what could be added until new projects/structural aspects are implemented. Don't see the point of a logo competition as we had one before to design the current imaging.
I can do the website, if Hypersire is not available.
Cool! Im up for translating the website. All i need is the text of the new website

The structural changes coming to devcoin in Round 43 should align devcoin with its core intention - to support Open Source development. There will certainly be a rebalancing of work segments - Open Source work and Creative Commons writing, but the momentum of the changes should leverage internal and external opinion favorably. It will be interesting to see how it plays out, and I say that as a writer going to get less coins. But supply and demand - if a % is withheld, supply is less. Now the goal should be to increase demand.
But why stop there - the website has been mentioned a few times; it's not as flash as some of the other crypto website portals, so perhaps a makeover, in conjunction with the share distibution changes, could place devcoin in a new light. Perhaps we could make a visible change - new colors, new logo also? A lot of exchanges use the yellow devcoin logo (designed by Icoin IIRC). Or a logo design contest?
Could the amount of coins provided to faucets be temporarily increased for Round 44, to boost awareness of the structural changes? Allowing them to dispense a larger minimum amount of coins for thsi period.
Throw in some PR and we could be in a good position to gain some momentum.

+ 100 %
As a trader i can say that devcoin is one of the few coins/assets im holding (it was my first ever coin that i bought - obvously through btc - but i bought btc to buy dvc). I really firmly believe in it. And as it was said in this discussion devcoin has its purpose, its obvious. And in 3-5 years (!) time we will see a lot of devs turning to it. The thing that the above psot is right about, is that every thing needs a momentum every now and again. And to just put it in a dark corner (ok im over exadurating a bit) is not the goal. So im up for rebrending with everything i can help with/ Unfortuntaly im not a techhi but i can certainly help with anything that is to do with translating into russian and pr in the russain community.

well smart money is all accumulating right now as you should be, so as price rises developers will come in and do a design for a bounty. That is the core benefit of devcoin over any other alt coin.
Agreed... Im just trying to liven up this topic with some discussion. You know i read somethign very obvious but clever on bitsharestalk today. "...if nobody use it , it means nothing...." So true....
I think the website's main problem is the huge amount of green everywhere (it's a very strong green on a 1920+ screen!), and general lack of images, but I think it's quite technically sound. It's not immediately obvious what we do from a cursory glance, which could be improved. It looks like it's been optimized for small screens, so looks very small on big ones.
Hypersire is our web admin, so if we have any changes in mind that could make a big impact he's the one in charge of that. There's a list of current admins here for anyone curious: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_human_resources
I for one would like to see more foreground and less background. Images I'm a bit lost with though, I don't know what would look good, or if they'd even help.
Devcoin was the first bitcoin 2.0 
the it should have much more value than any other altcoin.
long time away from dvc.
@ marcoman22: Devcoins were one of the first inflation coins, if not the first. Its low price doesn't mean it's not valuable.
@ NOjust: Yep, lots of plans being put in motion: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_division_proposal just announced last week, which has big changes to the way shares are being earned. It should mean less coins to market (40% drop once implemented), market support from a community fund, more OS development in general, plus a couple other things.

Well we can agree what we like - i like the design too, but its just not modern enough - look at bitshares, counterparty, vericoin, cloakcoin, storj, syscoin - those are all very well developed coins that have very good sites. Devcoin must have new life breathed in it if we want it to go on. I personally do, thats why i raise this issue. Its not all about the webiste though, no need to hang on it. But id say its a good start to show people we are moving with time. New technologies are in market now and devcoin has its own special value in the market, but i say its not bieng very modern today. In fact almost no one knows that devtome is to do with devcoin, which is ashame. You cant say things are well when 24 hour cap is less than a 1000 bucks
What's wrong with it, horrible relative to what? I'm not a developer either, but quite like it. Think it needs to be seen as a frontpage for info and on what are effectively sub projects (devtome, forum, news etc).
Website is ok. Maybe needs more content, but nothing wrong with the design.
Needs more info but the design is good, I agree.

Which website do you mean?
Ok, I've got a draft ready for the proposal. Posted it on devtome because it's fairly long:

good work! bottom line in your work is :
Ultimately, I believe we have lost a lot of investor
I think we should post here, not on other forums. Ill explain why. Posting and developing a devcoin forum is great but you have to show the crypto community that this coin is alive and kicking. This coin has to be interesting for people to invest for. The community has to be more lively. In times where you have bitcoin 2.0 and things like bitshares - there is a max of 2 posts per day here... need to live it up
I agree, this thread is our main connection to the broader crypto-community, and we certainly want to keep this connection alive.
The response has been fairly positive about the proposal, so I'm feeling encouraged. The summary for those who want a tl;dr version is this:
From round 43, divisions will be implemented within the general share structure. Each category of shares now earns division shares, and at the end of the round, each division is normalized against the highest producing division. This makes under-performing disciplines (eg Open Source Development) more attractive than over-producing ones during a round. Each division is still free to find the cheapest price per share of work.
Community fund to be established, performing duties such as: market support, micro business incubator, restricting supply of coins to market to help price recover, saving for larger software purchases and providing a place for incubation equity dividends to be managed.
Aural and Visual the new divisions, but 100% of share income will go to the new community fund until those divisions are established.
Devcoin market fund (subset of community fund), will provide market support to reduce exchange risk to devcoin earners, and ensure a better long term pay.
Interesting. I aslo think that its time the devcoin core team updated their website... i mean in a polite manner its horrible )))) (sorry) but its true. I am a devcoin believer from almost day one, and i dont just say it. Id offer to do it for free, unfortunatly im a trader - isnt there anyone out here in the community that can do it?
