I see the round deadline is 4 days away. I wrote some articles in word, about to post them. If I post them on devtome before the 9th will they get counted in this round or do I need someone to check them first? Not sure how the system works, it's my first month writing for devtome.

I believe if you don't check them (proof-read?) then they may be rated lower so its better to make sure its a final copy before writing.

If nothing's forthcoming and you guys are stumping up your own I'll also contribute something myself if you give more info - didn't know of any plans. The account files should have more info on shares.

I'll gladly contribute my Earning Admin share to an ongoing ad campaign. Put it on my tab. Just tell me first so I don't get all mad at UTB for withholding. Smiley

Could you direct me to more information about this / where I can contact these recipients?

I imagine that absent anything else, we'll solicit donations for an ad budget and will continue to fund what we can out of our own pocket. Any suggestions where we should solicit for this? This thread is so disorganized -- speaking of which, when are we going to migrate to the forum?
emfox's faucet gets shares and psybits manages advertising with some remit to apportion shares. Not saying there's enough or that it will happen, but not much to be lost by looking into it.

Some of the mods have been discussing this amongst ourselves and have been meaning to bring up the possibility of devoting ongoing shares to facilitate an advertising budget (including giveaways) to drive traffic to the forum. This seems reasonable, since the forum will serve as an ongoing project to further interest in and awareness of Devcoin.

Unthinkingbit and others, what do you think?

Coinzen is not ready yet. When it is, we'll probably get a good amount of traffic anyways. If it's not enough, then we'll advertise.
For what it's worth, I'm not sure what kind of traffic will simply materialize. And I think the forum is an outstanding marketing opportunity for DVC. I hope you'll reconsider this position.

MAbtc: There's already a portion of shares for faucet giveaway and advertising. Perhaps it's worth trying to negotiate with those recipients if considered more efficient, or give an address and anyone who supports it can donate?

The Litecoin Widget (by Mad Geniuses) for Android phones now supports DVC/BTC, DVC/LTC, and DVC/XPM on cryptsy.

It's not enabled for Vircurex, but at least you can keep an eye on devcoin prices at any time with ease.


Devcoin wallet already does this vs btc or fiat

Does anyone know if there is a way I can mine devcoin with a asic miner block erupter. I purchased one a while back and it has had no use other than sitting on a desk. It cant do much but I figure I may as well set it to mine something.
Thanks,
-AM

Heya,

What's its hash rate? Since devcoin introduced merged-mining, the difficulty is up there close to bitcoins now.

AM,

Each usb erupter mines about 0.33 GH/s, but you can overclock them to 0.44 GH/s with some skill. (http://www.designer2k2.at/mods/elektronik/85-block-erupter-overclocking.html)  If you only have one mining, you really are losing money from electricity.

Could Devtome writers please categorise and either add their new writings to the Most recent section or directly to the appropriate category (preferably the latter). We work from that home-page list and then an A-Z of writers. Just writing and doing nothing means articles are left somewhere in the devtome ether, makes the job of working on your articles a lot harder, and gives the impression there's no desire for anyone to ever read them. Thanks

Edit: Been highlighted to me that the above isn't clear, so I'm talking about 2 steps:

1) Categorising at base of articles e.g. [[Category:Biology]]
2) Actually lisiting those articles (filing) under Most Recent and in the place your category suggests (the Biology page).

If everybody could do this it would save a lot of hassle, and get us closer to having the time to look at devtome presentation/visuals.

I haven't gotten a PM from Unthinkingbit about rating yet.  (Or I already did it, I don't remember Smiley)

Where did you see the list anyway?

I saw it at the "Recent Changes" section yesterday: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=start&do=recent


He hasn't contacted us about rating yet. But to answer the question... the articles are randomly chosen. There are a lot of people to deal with. This is also why you don't post drafts. When they get indexed, and people visit them, they see bad information and are pushed away from the site (which is the exact opposite of what we want). Effectively by posting a bad version of your article you are destroying the site, rather than helping it.

Your rating will, over time, reflect where you stand as a writer. As such, just keep at it and you'll be fine as long as your writing quality increases.

I know (now), leason learned.

Hey! Is there a devcoin paper wallet generator? If im not wrong, its the same as bitcoin? In that case would I be able to use something like http://bitaddress.org? Would it be the bitcoin address be the correct address or would I have to run it through some different site to different address that starts with "D". Peercoin and namecoin are based off of bitcoin and use the same generation as bitcoin but they start with "P" or "N". Thanks.

Devcoin addresses are the same as bitcoin addresses. A devcoin address starts with the same character as a bitcoin address, there is no change at all. You can import a bitcoin address into devcoin and vice versa.

I noticed ho some people do devcoin giveaways and stuff on bitcointalk... Do you think we should devote a share from the bounty list to be used as a giveaway to increase awareness of devcoin and devtome?
-AM

There are a whole lot of giveaways going on at our new forum via http://coinzen.org/ .

I think its a good idea.. I see it as a better return in investment currently.

I can assure you that this is a good return on investment.  As the forum gets more popular it will simply be pennies on the dollar as compared to advertising on Adsense.

You could spend $2.50 per click with Adsense and only have 1 in 25 show any interest in Devcoin/Devtome at all..

Nmc uses different notation to pack public addresses but devcoin uses the same as bitcoin.. I believe you can just use bitcoin addresses interchangeably with devcoin.. but im not sure.

Try to send devcoin to a bitcoin address notice that wallet thinks its a valid address.

I asked Dalamar96 to handle the raters, and he agreed. He made the rating pages, and you should see a message from him soon. In any case, you can fill out your rating page now:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=rating_x_32

replacing x with your devtome name.

Hi guys, I am a new writer for devtome and have a quick question regarding photos in articles. Is it acceptable to use photos from the internet (provided you reference the user and don't claim it as your own), or are we only to use our own photos? I am sure the answer is probably in one of the wiki guides but I have most likely misread or forgotten it.

Thanks
