Coinzen.org still unavailable. It's been quite a while now. I agree that some news would be good.

Nice! Papa seems like such a nice person,considering i havent actually seen PC in real life.
Im coming for those bid packages though.
Nah, I bet he is a real douche! lol jk Thanks for saying so. I try to live my life and treat people the way I want my daughter to live and be treated by others. To me, that seems to be the true power behind DVC and the people involved with it. I think everyone I have met through DVC would be a pleasure to just hang out with.
I was excited to learn about winning the auction and I can feel big things to come with this site. I think it will be a major asset and draw for DVC. Thanks to everyone involved with DVC and for all they do.
Papa
BTW THOSE BID PACKAGES ARE MINE!
Congratulations Papa x
Hi folks!
Anyone else having problems with coinzen.org?
When I go there I get: Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Yes. It's hosted on same server(s) as devtome, which is up, so I'd guess it's either being worked on/installing new mod. Some info would be good though.Anyone else having problems with coinzen.org?

I set it for end of the month 10-12 days ago, so you can calculate how many hours it would have been set to. It's been counting down ever since. The auction only ends once the END DATE is less than the CURRENT DATE...
Then is it possible the "Timer" is on a 69/70 hour loop until the date is right because I have watched it reset twice and its misleading (obviously)

the timer countdown has nothing to do with the functionality other than visually.
So the timer doesnt actually show when the auction ends?
10 hrs left did you join it? devcoinauctions.com/welcome-landing

Hey admins, Do you guys have news from UTB 
I'm looking after him, thanks.
Looks like he posted on coinzen earlier flam I'm looking after him, thanks.

I'm looking after him, thanks. I didnt suggest that you work harder, I know what goes into building custom functions into a site.
I suggested a public Beta testing period. (I would add to that a formal bug/error reporting process and changelog but that's not everyone's thing, depends if you rather deal with individuals or reports from individuals)
Utilise your users as your testing base, slip them a few free DVC bids as thanks and keep the whole thing in testing until you know it's good to go.
imagine the drama involved if this timer was to have an error just as that mining rig gets to 0...I dont believe the crypto community is forgiving enough to accept those kinds of mistakes.

We already had a testing period where we did all this. This was due to new features being implemented.. but as of now seems like everything is all setup.. I dont see any new major changes coming except the wholesaler feature which doesnt affect the auctions.. Lets go with it as our first auction is about to close.. if we notice these timer issues or other issues with bidding we can go off into beta mode again.. but we had a full month of that already and ironed out all of the payment and bidding bugs before.
Ranlo, You were almost done seo right? I think setting up fb twitter and googleplus can still be done even if its in beta mode although I think we are passed beta.
SEO was already completed on the existing auctions,
. I'll go ahead and work on the social things.Cool Im not sure why the banner isnt sizing right on fb twitter and google.. ie on my iphone 4 the fb header looks wrong but it is recommended size? Im getting marticp to look into this.. Maybe just fill out the profile info and come up with a simple plan on how to market the site.. go crazy adding people and following others on twitter etc.. google plus wont let me create a custom url yet because not enough ppl are following me. Just need someone dedicated to use these accounts.

What's good for devtome is good for us all... all sounds good to me. 
Sid, I just wanted to toss you an update. In terms of the social job I'll be doing, I've purposely been holding off while you and melodie try to work through the site's issues. I figured it's better to hold back until things are ready for the public before dealing with that (as users joining the site and being confused is worse than waiting until that confusion would be negligible).

Time should disappear and it should say "Bidding Ended" after the auction is over. Well I am sure there is no loop... I coded it. Let's see this auction end, its got less than 24 hours. The resetting this is unfortunate because I never saw it on my end... I reset the miner auction because it ended but the gift card one I left untouched after the reserve was met.. so I'm thinking it went to 0 because of the script stuff I was doing, and a combination of the caching issue which was showing the wrong times if you are not logged in. It should be taken care of now anyways.
I think something I can add it the date of expiry somewhere on the auction page just incase the timer is messed up.
Edit: Done, added date of expiry in UTC time.

I think that is a good start but from the perspective of a project representing Devcoin, (which is your hope for it's future) this site should be marked as Beta and not released as complete until these things are sorted out. If there are scripts and caching issues etc, the site is not finished yet and when you are taking people's money, you cant excuse this kind of error as "sorry I was running a script". (especially on the very first very small auction after drawing attention to it with a post!)
I have a lot on and little time to mess around Sidhujag, if I did not know the dev of the site, and I had just signed up as I normally would to something and then had concerns, I wouldn't think twice; I would just use the Paypal dispute process to get my money back. (I certainly wouldn't bother with the time this conversation has taken to reach a point where you even acknowledge there might be an error)
I realise you are just starting out with this and I am not trying to undermine it so I wont be doing any such thing but if I have these issues, what will a newcomer face and how will they react? You cant expect people to be patient with a stranger when you are dealing with their money. (crypto or not)
A testing period would at least mean these errors don't call Devcoins credibility into question, its standard practice for any new release anyway and errors can fairly be excused as newly identified bugs. I dont believe announcing a Beta test period with active paid auctions would be detrimental in any way to your launch, and it would allow you to make room for all the improvements/changes that are obviously still needed.
As it stands now, you have released the site as finished and the excuses are not acceptable. (would you accept these excuses from Ebay?)
I agree, I will work harder to make sure the changes are seamless to the user... changes like adding the reserve back is based on feedback which I greatly appreciate. Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's usually a process of going back and forth since I have no one to bounce ideas off other than myself and you guys here.
