A question about collated materials:
something like "van fraassen's view on relational quantum mechanics" which comments, as an academic paper, an article by van fraassen, count as collated? i don't think so.
and something like "Critic review on surnames based social mobility's analysis" which critically reviews a recent paper/book?
Even van fraassen's article is entitled" rovelli's world" and discusses previous articles by Rovelli.
Definitely, a review is "collated"?  Huh
Thanks for answering.


Both of these are really dependent upon how unique they are. The issue we've run into in the past is people trying to basically copy-and-paste articles/books, add in a few comments here and there, and pass it off as being "original," by acting like their minor changes (sometimes being only a few percent of the overall piece of work) make it completely theirs.

The collation is something that really needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you have questions, feel free to toss me a PM. I can also look over any articles and let you know if they should be under collated or original.
great, so basically an ordinary article's/ book's review, as we can find on scientific journals would count as original? it's not a copy and paste at all. Where a rewriting of, say, a wikipedia article, with a loto of copy and paste and some value added as collated?

Generally speaking, that should be correct. When in doubt, run it by me.

"When it's open, you assist the network."

I just set up the app 1 week ago and reinstalled it again yesterday, but this time correctly. That's why I'm asking you, "how does anyones personal computer help assist the network by running the app ?"

How does that work ?

For one, you add to the list of clients that provide confirmations to the network.

I have also been told that fees are distributed to open clients, but I've never seen a fee deposit in my client.

I keep mine open 24/7. It doesn't eat up too much system resources. If it does, maybe you need more RAM.

I don't believe clients get fees from transactions...you might be thinking of a seed node. That's a client on a computer somewhere that has its port 52333 open on the firewall so it can accept incoming connections. There's a maintenance bounty of 0.2 shares/mo if you run one....could that be what you mean?

Yes. But also my understanding that all open clients assist the network in confirmations.

I can not find my Devcoin Wallet.Dat file to backup on my USB

Is there any other way i can find the Dat file & back up my wallet?


If on Windows go to C Drive > Users > YourName >AppData > Roaming > Devcoin and copy your wallet.dat file to a safe location.

If you have Windows 8, press the button lower left corner and type %AppData% into the search box, it will take you to the AppData folder and navigate as above to locate your wallet.dat file.

Hello,


Just a reminder. The new home for Devcoin is over at Coinzen.org.

http://coinzen.org/index.php/board,38.0.html

When you post on this thread (that will soon be abandoned) you are simply leaving valuable information behind that newbies to Devcoin/Devtome will not be able to find.

It would be so much better to move the conversation over to to the new forum.

This:

dvcn-qt-29-Nov-2012.tgz

wallet was mentioned on this forum and can be downloaded from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/DeVCoin

What is that dvcn-wallet all about, it has lots of folders and files not included in the dvcn-exp-w32 (dec-2013-bld) or 0.3.25.1-bt, vrsns.

Go to http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin and try those.

What I meant to say was:

I am using the dvcn-exp-w32 (dec-2013-bld) wallet, which just by chance I found in one of the posts on this forum.

It is basicly the same or similar (possibly-updated in some ways) to the dvcn-wallet-vrsn found at devcoin.com and devtome.com, which is the 0.3.25.1-bt vrsn.

1) I had noticed the term dvcn-qt-wallet being used here and there on this forum.

2) Also just by chance I was reading on this forum in a post about another kind of dvcn-wallet-vrsn called: dvcn-qt-29-Nov-2012.tgz,

3) so I downloaded it from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/DeVCoin

just to compare it to the other 2 dvcn-wlt-app vrsns mentioned above.

4) When I opened up the dvcn-qt-11-29-12-apps folders it had alot of folders and files not found in the other 2 versions mentioned above.

So I was just asking you what that differently configured kind of dvcn-qt-wallet was used for, because it has "qt" which stands for windows" in the name and I am using a "windows-os" to run the dvcn-wlt-app.

And it has so many other kinds of folders and files that are not found in the other 2 dvcn-wlt vrsns mentioned above.

Its main folder is named: devcoin-qt.

The only folders-files that were the same were the "receiver files 1-17.csv" listed in the main folder.

I was just checking out the dvcn-qt-11-29-12 version while I was looking for the best "pre-configured-w32-dvcn-wlt-app" available. Dvcn-qt was in the apps name so I just checked it out to see if it was the "elusive best dvcn-wlt-w32-vrsn to use," that I was looking for.

If "dvcn-qt or just "dvcn" by itself was not in that apps name I never would have downloaded it to check out what it was and most likely wouldn't have needed to ask you about it, "what is it for, what does it do."

There were no same named folders and the "only same files" were the receiver files, 1-17.csv, listed in the main folder: devcoin-qt.

Now that I've installed the dvcn wallet with all files downloaded, blocks are listed at over 127k, how can I test that it's fully working, being able to send and receive dvcns ?

If you have an account somewhere for devcoins or a trading account ie cryptsy or vircurex you can create an account and a deposit address...

You first need to buy devcoins by transfering in bitcoins to these exchanges and then buying devcoins for them. Then you can withdraw the coins to your qt wallet address you get in your recieve tab in qt..

You should get them in a few hours tops.

You can turn qt wallet on to check balance if its synced up to network, then it only has to dl latest blocks.

If I shut down the regular-dvcn-app-0.3.25.1-beta and start it again, doesn't it also start off counting blocks again at the block# it was at right before it was  closed the last time, at least above 127,000, where it's at now ?

"What is the qt-wallet," I noticed it on a download site as a recommended dvcn-app to download while I was looking for the most up to date dvcn-wallet-app.

I ended up downloading and installing this one:

dvcn-exp-w32-stp.exe (dec-2013-bld), which is similar to 0.3.25.1-bt-vrsn.

Is the qt-wallet the best of the dvcn wallets to download and run ?

Can it take the place of the dvcn-exp-w32, 0.3.25.1-bt-vrsns, while also being able to do a whole lot more ?

In order to see what it's all about can I dnld and run the qt-wallet at the same time as the dvcn-exp-w32, 0.3.25.1-bt-vrsns. Does the qt-wallet use a different UI-window so that both apps can be run at the same time without interfering with eachother ?

Can you help sort this out, I have the standard-dvcn-wallet-app running, I have not downloaded and am not running the qt-wallet.
