Topic: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated - page 165. (Read 1058949 times)

Ok, so for a website with html/javascript/php/mysql I would have to provide all the sourcecode for all programming languages, and possibly even an instuction how to set the database/server up, etc?

If you want it to be funded by devcoin, it does need to be open source to be eligable for the shares list but there is no reason for you not to accept devcoin as payment from users or you can apply for marketing/advertising shares if you use devcoin banners on your site.

The official devcoin thread might be best place to bring it up: http://coinzen.org/index.php/topic,147.0.html ...or the bounty thread: http://coinzen.org/index.php/topic,150.0.html

I too have some projects in the making, but I am not sure if I can apply for devcoins with them.

For example, I am working on a coinmarketcap site, but with more information and email-alert service (e.g. when pricelevel is reached, etc)...

If I want to get devcoin for such a site, so I can continue develop it, can I just apply for this at devtome? And what other rules do I have to follow?

Does it have to be complete open source? What if I don't want to go completely open source for security reasons?

Thanks, I hope it takes off.. it really will be nice to see it work out. I would like it to bring some positive light into devcoin... instead of selling my coins I do these types of things to help it so I can benefit from increased value... that is the typical developer approach. I only wished there were more developers who saw similar views and came to similar conclusions because I see it is a great opportunity to get into crypto and devcoin in particular at these early stages.

I see. Yes, I saw the 5.4 THash miner yesterday and I loled, and wondered how this is even possible.

Well, I admire the work you have done.

It's an interesting concept... le't see where this goes...

Not necessarily, for one if you are bidding on a devcoin funded auction, then btc/ltc is certainly welcome as it will be used to directly purchase devcoins on the market bidding up the price (think of the middlepool idea just applied in a different way).

Secondly, I am personally opening up business by investing my own resources.. so not only is this site going to offer devcoin auctions, but auctions I will be providing for btc/ltc... this opens doors to many more auction items as I don't have to wait for devcoins to be exchanged for bitcoins to buy items to auction off anymore... especially with thelow liquidity this means there would only be 1 or 2 auctions a month. Now I can offer the devcoin funded auctions (1 or 2 a month) and my own auctions which I accept bitcoin/litcoin bids only to add value to the site. For example look at the 5.4th miner. http://devcoinauctions.com/blog/auction/sp30-yukon-august-batch-asic-miner-5-4ths/ there is no way that this would be possible if it were only devcoins used here. This vendor only accepts bitcoin, so I need to work in bitcoin... I have worked out a special deal with this vendor for this miner, but it is limited time only and if noone bids on it I will probably not relist it after next month.

For this reason for these types of auctions (most of them right now) I only accept bids from people who bought packages with bitcoins or litecoins and not devcoins for obvious economical reasons. Later when there is more liqudity then devcoins will become the predominant form of payment as it will be desired.

The auctions funded by devcoins will remain accepting devcoins/bitcoins/litecoins and any btc/ltc used to bid here will be converted to dvc and put into the community fund.

I will start selling DVC when 1 DVC is in the 1000 satoshi range.

And it's a good opportunity to acquire devcoins on the cheap. I've placed some low buy orders and am happy to reap the fruits of their labor.

But that's really not very wise of them.

Well, atleast they provide some liquidity to the markets by doing so.

There are a lot of people who have been dumping their coins as soon as they get them. Many writers aren't here to help the project grow and get better; they are here solely to cash out ASAP as they go along.

Yes, but shouldn't devcoin auctions be devcoin only ?

That BTC and LTC are also allowed to purchase bids, doesn't really help devcoin, does it?

If it was devcoin only, then everybody would have to go to the exchanges and buy devcoin.

It's not really reassuring to say that all recieved BTC and LTC will be used to purchase devcoins. How do I know? Why trust anybody?

Why not circumvent BTC and LTC totally and go for devcoin only?

Then it would deserve the name devcoinauctions. Now not so much.

Forever is a most uncertain thing. Who knows. I mergemine IXC, DVC and NMC, and it's just peanuts but nonetheless welcomed.
It's not up to the devs to decide if merge mining stays... it's up to the pool admins.

But I would like to know who is selling all those DVC?
I assume that all the devtome writers are the last person to sell their 90% Devcoin at these prices.

So it must mainly be big holders of DVC who gave up on the coin and want to get rid of it as fast as possible.

I say this is a good opportunity to buy DVC...

Devcoin is not going away...

can't believe devcoin fell back to these levels. one question to the devs: merged mining with btc is going to stay here forever?

Is there has plan to fork Mastercoin To Devcoin?

Coinzen.org?

Ok yes I can see you are trying to reduce the workload for forum admins and moderators and let the posters of the threads take responsibility of the site through their posts. So yeah again i'll look to see if this can be implemented on SMF as i got a few SMF forum sites running now and that would probably help out the admins on those sites to

Most of the dev'd stuff so far has been about building the framework to make future collaboration possible. There are always bounties open for open-source related stuff here: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now and on the official devcoin bounty thread on coinzen (a forum generated through dev bounties): http://coinzen.org/index.php/topic,150.0.html

Right now the biggest project has been devtome: http://www.devtome.com a collection of writing works by 180+ writers. People write and get paid in devcoins, based on content reviews, pageviews and so on. This provides a platform for any author to write what they passionate about and get paid a share of devcoins for their effort. Their pay is moderated by popularity (usefulness) and ratings from people on this list: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_rater.

It's a slow process, but that's because it's more like an ion drive than a chemical rocket. Over time it picks up more speed, at the lowest cost possible, building upon the previous foundation at every step. One day, just like bitcoins were for many people when it first arrived, it will gain enough momentum for critical mass. Even though the price drops, people keep writing and increase competition for generation devcoins, because they become invested with the ideal, and their presence and long term interest forms the basis for the true value of devcoins.

Devcoins are unique in what they offer. Not just "another coin" (it predates most alt-coins, being created in 2011), but as a way of recording human-effort in a block-chain. Checkout http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com/ and browse the different rounds with an empty username to see what has been created through the devcoin incentive. Most of it is all internal related, but at some point this will become external, and early investors will reap enormous returns.

Devcoin Auctions are the first real community inspired business that actively seeks devcoins, and create inputs to the devcoin price (http://devcoinauctions.com). There are many more to come.

Bitcoiners talk about going to the moon. Devcoiners aim for the stars.

(sorry)

devcoinauctions.com, devtome.com are the businesses and many other projects including coinzen.org which is our forum... you should join. There are bounties for you to work on.

Have you guys 'dev'd' anything or is it just a fun name?
