Tested Android client 1.0.5 with Windows wallet 1.0.15.

Windows -> Android : 0.0001 DVC ends up in 1.0001 DVC payment (1 DVC payment fee)
Android -> Windows : 0.0001 DVC ends up in 5.0001 DVC payment (5 DVC payment fee)

From Windows wallet to Android Wallet: received.
From Android Wallet to Windows wallet: still waiting (2 hours already). The client says that the payment has not been transmitted yet. Blocks are up to date so the payment process seems to be hanging somewhere within the client.

Reinstalled the same client? You did not delete the data directory or anything? That's odd, its the same thing.

Mine was at block 1233.. I dont remember the last two numbers, I didnt realise it could be important but I will take more note in future.

The client is the win32.exe from here:http://dls.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/dls/devcoin/devcoin-win32-setup.exe, Version 0.3.25.1
 
I dont understand what you mean by "full download" ? (sorry if that's a dumb question, I am very new at this)

Solution: re-installed the client.

I don't disagree with you, but my impression of the whole devtome thing was to get more people involved, as a basis to better support open source development with the rest of devcoin. I thought the problem was that progress was just too slow / ineffective, and other things (like attracting commissioned work) was the next approach.

I don't know what the metrics of devtome were, but say if only one out of every 1000 people are actually interested in having a long term relationship with the devcoin project, as a supporter/investor, what's the best way to find them?

Sidhujag mentioned in his post that the devcoin project started becoming an umbrella for profitable open source developments. I actually think that's a far better idea than to rely on donations entirely. It reminds me of China Pre and Post capitalist restoration.

I dont understand you need to give more information.

His stopped at block 12k were you doing a full download? What client were you using? How did you resolve it?

Eeh I didnt realise mine had stopped as well until I read your post. Thankyou for the heads up.

I would have some interest in this but I don't think I would be the best representative by my onesies. If I had enough time I could make it so I'm at least on the East Coast around that time so I could make it.

That would be cool to do, however I'm all the way on the Wet coast I probably won't be able to get there for April as I have work full-time. Maybe someone close by that area?

I am not going to the convention. If anyone wants to speak for devcoin, please message me.

so to post pics on devtome I have to have them hosted somewhere else correct? Devtome doesn't have storage space where I can upload pics?

Sync going on now. My OS seems to like it so far. Thanks.

Sorry i was respinding to you and also bringing up the second part of the paragraph talking about being involved in profitable open source businesses.. seems like to me at the time it was the best idea and we just went with it but there was never any review done to see if we should cotinue
with the way its going..

It would be interesting to see ad revenue numbers alongside with number of words written since they should be correlated.. the idea is that ad revenue should pay the writers amd slowly the number of shares needed would be reduced.

I dont remember anyone reporting the revenue... is this intentional? Where is revenue going? Is someone just keeping it?

On ur download issue you can try to delete your data directory minus wallet.dat and conf file and try my new client: http://sourceforge.net/projects/devcoin/files/temp-testing/

I have no idea if you're responding to me. I've been using my client since at April 2013. I'm using MS 8.1. I understand the intent and premise of Devcoin and Devtome. I just want my client to download the chain and my earnings.

I asked you which client you were using? This is important because:

"At around block 12,000 the first fractional share went out successfully, so there are no longer any known potential technical devcoin problems.  Now we can start projects.

Devcoin was originally intended to primarily be an ethical donation currency and secondly an umbrella for profitable open source projects.  There has not been enough interest in the donation part, so from now on devcoin will primarily be an umbrella for profitable open source projects, and secondly donate a portion to developers.  It will be more like a public benefit corporation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-benefit_corporation

To that end, the first profitable devcoin open source project will be an open source wiki where the contributors get a share of the advertsing revenue, converted to devcoins, plus devcoin generation shares.  At the beginning the advertising revenue will be tiny, however, that is better than nothing and it will grow.  There are three potential ways of getting advertising revenue:"

There was a change at that block so the client version matters.. I used my new client many times to download the entire blockchain from scratch so Im not sure why yours wont accept the changes at that block... maybr your not on newest version?

On the second part of Unthinkbit's quote from 2011 above.. you can see the original intent was to fund profitable open source businesses like the ones i proposed and others propose but then we ended
up with a wildly unprofitable business in devtome? Which is more donation looks like. Wasnt the idea that only ad revenue will be used plus a small share to help pay them? Wouldnt it grow over time so slowly more writers would come? Why the sudden change to skew the share earnings?

Now it seems ad revenue isnt even a factor and shares are front and center payment method but the paragraph doesnt read that it would be primarily shares to me.. and then why bother with thousands of shares to breakeven? What was the analysis done here on how profitable or lack thereof here?

I went back in and added all the receiver files from scratch and added the short list of nodes I had from the forum.

Maybe I'll have to try this in the CMD instead of the client, since there is no console in the client. But I'm still stuck and it's weird, because I've never had this problem before.

Hmmm hmmm hmmm. Are you in Windows or Linux? This is probably a better place than PMs to get everyone else's feedback.

To confirm, in PM I asked how many active connections eeh had and clarified addnode servers could be down and it would not help. I don't know enough about the devcoin network to help much more other than to say try running it with -rescan but I think the client does that automatically.

to everyone else:
Can you download the blockchain like other coins? If so I can set up a link to download a copy later tonight for you.

I appreciate the response.

But now that I reinstalled the client, I'm stuck at 11999 blocks with 7 connections.

This bites.

Yes I know? it was a genuine answer, I also explained why that is my answer? Did I say something wrong?
