When all the security scams like ripple and stellar get delisted, maybe its room for the OG alts to come back to life and relevance in 2021?  Cool

Thanks @drmutz! I'd love to see your feedback about the official Dockerfile: https://github.com/devcoin/core/blob/master/examples/Dockerfile

- develCuy


Ha! I didn't know there was one.  Learn something new everyday :-)

Looks like whoever wrote the official Dockerfile knows more about Docker and Devcoin than I do, but it might be a bit overwhelming for a n00b.

Perhaps a n00b would have an easier time starting with my edition all the while having a handy upgrade path with the official edition.

They are actually 0.02 Bitcoins!

I'll be happy to add your code into the examples/ folder as Dockerfile_starter. If you don't mind, can you start a pull request with your addition?

Hello folks,

For a good time please take a look at https://github.com/bostontrader/crypto-docker/tree/master/Legacy/DVC-Devcoin

This is a Dockerfile that builds a modern commit (2020-Dec) of the DVC source code with Ubuntu 18.04.  It weighs in
at a mere 73 mb, which ain't too bad in today's world.  I would have used Ubuntu 20.04 but attempting to do so
makes building db4.8 much more difficult (cuz it's getting too old!)

This works well for me and easily finds peers and downloads the entire DVC blockchain from scratch if necessary.

My humble offering to the ecosystem.  Enjoy!

Dear everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that we have what seems to be a working build of Devcoin wallet for Windows. We are performing tests with the help of satoshi0x and iroking. Please report your own tests here: https://github.com/devcoin/core/issues/85

If tests are successful and we don't get any major bug report during the next 30 days, I'll call it an stable release with version number 0.8.8.0!

Last but not least, let me acknowledge Cpol for partnering with me on this Windows build venture.

Download Devcoin wallet 0.8.7.0 for Windows: https://devcoin.org/wallet/Devcoin-0.8.7.0-x86_64.zip

Dear Devcoin Community,

Let's start with a friendly reminder of our purpose as a project:

Quote
Devcoin is an ethically inspired cryptocurrency created in 2011 to support open source programmers and writers worldwide. Devcoin will eventually fund all types of developers including hardware developers, musicians, painters, graphic artists and filmmakers

Let's honor it!

I'm glad to announce that the Devcoin Foundation is going donate a percentage of its liquidity to charity via the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), a non-profit "that helps promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. Conservancy provides a non-profit home and infrastructure for FLOSS projects. This allows FLOSS developers to focus on what they do best — writing and improving FLOSS for the general public — while Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that do not relate directly to software development and documentation".

The effective donation amount will be transferred in US dollars and records will be added on every Devcoin round via https://github.com/devcoin/charity

Funding the SFC means to foster projects like: Busybox, Git, Homebrew, Inkscape, Metalink, Qemu, Samba and Wine among others. The next time that you talk about Devcoin with your peers, don't sell it short! Rather let them know how we are contributing to the fighting for software freedom! Full list of SFC projects https://sfconservancy.org/projects/current/

Go go Devcoin!

-- develCuy

This is our first donation to the Software Freedom Conservancy

We start humble with US$ 3.00. The sky is the limit!

See: https://github.com/devcoin/charity/tree/master/00110

- develCuy


Thanks buddy. I donate whenever someone asks me at the stores - St Judes, Animal Shelters, salvation army... if every Developer donated $3.00 like you did to thing like this that's a lot of charity Smiley Just like if we had some sort of light weight torrent to seed our network - well - lets just make sure we think of a better name than litecoin or "monero" - whether you're supporting your beliefs with the little you have or contributing your time to a project you believe in - its very admirable to do it with your heart and not for your wallet. 3 years - I'm still here - and I believe in your cause. I believe in the cause of all the ancients. Lets keep pushing this thing forward and beyond - we can win this battle yet Smiley

It would be great for something that people like you could get paid in and get it because they love making FLOSS projects for the world. Hell I might have to rip apart an old PC this weekend and put some linux on it to see if I can support HORIZON and our assets there with more than one server =)

Hey @bstr156, thank you for bringing some healthy dev speech to this thread. Btw, we are aware that our codebase has aged, so we need all help available! I wish to see more dev talk here!

- develCuy


You can contact markm and he will take your DVC tokens at his stellar address and send you blockchain devcoins into your DVC wallet. 1:1 ration of Stellar DVC tokens/DVC. I coordinated with him on the keybase.io chat by direct messaging him at "knotwork" because keybase has a built in wallet for Stellar and its tokens.

Dan, is it too difficult to implement that automatically in the system? Not a criticism, just genuinely asking.

Also Stellar is an open network, good place for DVC to move in and out of as it builds up value per each unit. Not about dollars anymore.

That's very good!! I like that!

Last few times I looked for free open-source code for giving people tokens in return for coins there were two problems:

One, they claimed the code was not for production-use, that is, not actually hardened for real use;

Two, the code minted tokens on the fly to represent the supposedly-received coins, instead of only letting folks "buy" existing tokens already previously minted; that violates my only issue tokens for half my coins policy and also implies issuing tokens representing coins that are probably still in a "hot" wallet no yet actually frozen or buried safely away somewhere.

-MarkM-



No need to serve as a reserve custodian if it's a coin<->token two-way peg using a burn/mint process based on SPV.  The proofs are the reserve.  If you haven't already, check out Jag's work on Syscoin and how SYS<->SYSX operates between the native coin and the Syscoin Token Platform. Beyond that, from there you can do the same w/ SYSX (Syscoin Token) and get the SYSX (ERC-20).  Then you can play in Ethereum's DeFi land if you want, or do whatever Ethereum people do.

It's live on the Syscoin mainnet.

For actual decentralized "DEX" you might also consider BlockNet's BlockDX.  They are introducing a lot of improvements recently.

And what guarantees the peg will ALWAYS be 1:1?  

It's network enforced that the quantity of the coins burned with `syscoinburntoassetallocation` is the quantity of the specific token to be minted (SYSX Asset: https://sys1.bcfn.ca/asset/1045909988).  The SYSX token was provisioned as such, in part by having its entire max supply minted then immediately burned. None of that token is or could float around without having its 1:1 peg as the only way to mint those tokens in the first place (post-provisioning) is out of the token supply that has been burned (again, max supply burned) and that minting can only occur via `syscoinburntoassetallocation` accompanied by a burn of the native coin SYS.

oh, and token spec attribute "max supply" cannot be changed.

Works the same way going the other direction via `assetallocationburn`.  The qty of SYSX burned is then re-minted as SYS out of that burned SYS supply pool.  Only it isn't necessary to burn the entire supply of the native coin of course... burning the max supply is only necessary for provisioning on the token side.

Ok, so then what’s the redundant need for a token for all these coins?  Why not just use DVC, BSV, etc.  why are they all adding a token which you have to swap the coin for the token?  It doesn’t seem necessary since you can just as easily spend the coin itself.  



It's part of giving sovereign owners means that are permissionless and trust-minimized to enable their existing value with new use cases, services, and immediately-ideal characteristics (in areas like transactionality, security, programmability) - options that aren't available when the value is stuck on its original platform.  In a word, Interoperability - without using trading mechanisms nor depending on liquidity providers.  

Token platforms are conducive to cross-chain integrations like this, especially those that offer programmability like Ethereum in which case a clear path to mutual chain awareness is established.  We've accomplished this between Ethereum ERC-20 and Syscoin Platform Tokens using a notion of superblocks... similar to the early Dogethereum idea, but expanded and fleshed-out quite a bit more to the point of actually being production ready and live on a mainnet. ERC-20s can cross to a Syscoin (learn about Syscoin Bridge: https://syscoin.readme.io/docs/what-is-sysethereum-bridge-how-does-it-work) after which they exist as a token on a platform that provides improved means-of-exchange (fast, low-cost microtransactions and scalability - Learn about Z-DAG: https://syscoin.org/news/what-is-z-dag.) - and proven store-of-value which might be particularly important if Ethereum shifts to proof-of-stake. The other side of the coin is that all existing Syscoin Platform Tokens, including SYSX value which is pegged to the native coin SYS, can access Ethereum and all it has to offer ERC-20s.

For interop w/ platforms that don't offer programmability we are exploring ZKP as a way of generalizing the functionality of our bridge.

A shorter way of answering would just be "The reason is the same general idea in what MarkM is doing w/ Stellar, but our path is trust-minimized, permissionless and doesn't involve a token swap where there are reserve tokens in another human's wallet however good their intentions might be"

MarkM, you could integrate assets quite easily for Galactic Milieu. Check out our github when you have time.

Not just that, the CEO and founder of Blockchain Foundry and lead of Syscoin is former devcoin developer sidhujag Smiley He seems to have bookmarked a place for us to come back to the future and evolve as we've planned for some time Smiley
