Topic: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated - page 155. (Read 1058949 times)

I tried to download devcoind from the official site, and it points to a domain that doesn't exist.

http://devcoin.org/devcoin-wallet.html click on linux, try to get devcoind.

I tried compliling the source, got some errors about "wx", never heard of that before, some kind of widget thing. Got past that, and now it fails due to things about wx. I give up. I'll take a compiled version if there is one.

For those who are considering purchasing bitcoin or scrypt miners, you can enable a 3% discount by using the coupon code 'devcoin' at GAWMiners.

Simply go to gawminers.com, make your purchase, and when prompted during checkout enter devcoin as the coupon code. Subtle advertising for devcoin but feel free to share.

I WATCHED the timer reset TWICE! No-where on that auction does it say it ends at the "end of the month" Why does it have a timer for 70 hours if its going for a month? I thought at first maybe I had it wrong so I went back to the site 69 hours later and it reset for the second time IN FRONT OF MY EYES Sidhujag. I have no reason to lie? I wanted to run a story on the first auction winner (whoever it was) for heaven sake!

Also, I have tried to understand your explanation to HunterBunters question but you have not explained the payment system at all. This is the situation from a user perspective.

That card retails for $10
I bought 20 bids for $24.95 ( I will round it down to $1 per bid for this excersize)
Each bid increases the "auction" by 0.01
The reserve was 0.14 ($14)
The current price after Papacrusher bid is 0.25 ($25)
For a $10 Amazon card?

From what you have explained, we have to pay for the card at the end of the auction and this is when it gets very, very confusing.

1) What happens to that $25.00 worth of bids placed on this auction after its ended?
2) How much is the final price the winner will pay and how do users work that out?

Just a note to all you miners lurking in the thread. Blisterpool is paying out a whopping 20% bonus for the month of June. It's a p2pool backend with 10% server fee (to ensure script triggers), with the fee plus another 20% of your throughput sent in devcoins to your registered devcoin address.

more info here: http://blisterpool.com

You'll get devcoins as long as you mine on the server, even if you don't get any bitcoins from p2pool, and it's paid out whenever a bitcoin block is found.

If you would normally get 1btc from a p2pool payout, via blisterpool you would get 0.9 btc straight to your bitcoin address, plus 0.3btc worth of devcoins (market rate) to your devcoin address.

Huge potential for DVC. It can only go up from here.

I've got buy bids but not many dumpers right now, where are they when you want them?

Are you asking to be paid for this pabloangello?

There are already a number of promotions running, along with giveaways and writing awards (which have just been awarded) If you want to support these promotions that would be awesome

If you are asking to be paid for it, I for one would ask why you should be, when others are running the same things (quite successfully on a small scale) for nothing.

Just to name a few ...

Thank you for your honest answer. Looking through this thread and on devcoin in all I see that quite a lot is regurarly going on so it is a place for honest and real promotion/marketing in here.

The community is strong and willing to act and do things in sense of further development and spreading the word about this coin.

So here is my offer for whole Devcoin community (including me because I am DVC long holder since previous year):

Would you like me to start->build->manage a Twitter Promo Group for Devcoin?

We will promo every DVC news in a hardly retweeted tweets and make Devcoin giveaways & contests with attractive prizes to raise awareness about such an idea like this coin across the crypto universum.

I have an experience in managing such a group and creating Promo Tweets for.

I am also strong believer in DVC, basically because of its ethical nature as Hunterbunter said.

Thank you..

it's just beginning I think... we need promotion. After we create an ANN thread that should help! It will get there though I believe... hopefully spread the word about devcoin and support the devcoin market at the same time.

I am working on a really cool feature which should help people start to get involved (because it drives the cost of your bidding down AND you can make money at the same time) which is a wholesaler feature which allows user to user transfer of bids... allowing you to buy at a wholesale discount and sell at retail price by issuing vouchers with a voucher number... the vouchers will display as ads on the accounts of those who you sign up(or they can enter the voucher number in the payments section to get the voucher)..  if they buy using your voucher you end up making profit if you purchased using the wholesale bid package (cheaper than the rest)... You can make up to 25% on each sale like this while driving your bidding costs down at the same time.

The voucher's look like this:

http://devcoinauctions.com/wp-content/themes/PennyTheme/img/voucher_small_2.jpg

I generated these through my wholesale settings section: http://devcoinauctions.com/my-account/wholesale-settings/

Soon as you generate them, they become active on your affiliate's accounts. Essentially when you get someone to sign up using the link given to you in the wholesale setting's section you become their referrer (stored int he database) and when they login they see your ads and then can buy bids from you. (user to user transfer) although the customer will not see this as a user to user transfer but just purchasing a bid package through a voucher code.

The good things about devcoin:

- It's got real interest because of it's ethical nature. It's not going to die any time soon, and isn't based on a meme people will get bored of.
- It requires human effort to earn (as opposed to pure mining). This adds to the ethical nature of the coin.
- It's at a bargain basement price.
- projects are still going ahead and will continue to do so, because people feel good about what they do here.
- a strong sense of community.
- merged mining - the network is as secure as bitcoin.

The bad things about devcoin:

- building devtome is expensive
- the low price might seem like a lack of market interest (although in truth this might be a lack of speculator interest, subject to change).

I think it's a far better long term investment than a short term one.
