Beer and Coffee! As a developer mostly Coffee or JOlt or something. And e-cig juice.

Groceries. Either through gift cards to retailers like Wholefoods (or an option to buy gift cards for smaller retailers).

Wow. I just read that once, and have been drinking and couldn't quite wrap my head around it!   I will read it again and comment a little more on that one!

doge to the moon!
and devcoin too!

Doge is now doubling devcoin and 10x the volume, cmon guys stop dumping lets get it up just like she said.

Actually I think it is a total wordcount since forever, minus the shares already paid since forever, so for example if you later edit an article down in size by 1000 words after having already been paid for it, then next round post a new 1000 words or edit an existing article upwards in size by 1000 words, the grand total since forever will still not have increased.

So it is not simply how much you posted in a given round it is how much your grand total of words that are still there has increased.

Then too there is now a quality factor. So if someone had been paid for a lot of words whose poor quality had not yet been reflected in their quality factor, then some reviewers looked at it and rated it as poor quality, the new total shares it would evaluate them as having earned would be lower so there would be a shortfall to make up - more words wanted - before their total actually paid out was exceeded again by the total earned.

They get paid any shares outstanding in excess of what they have in total been paid already, using the latest rules and quality-ratings to determine how much such work of theirs as is still present that round is nowadays calculated to be worth.

(Which unfortunately would complicate any change of how many shares people ought to be paid, since right now it is based on words still present now not on during which rate of pay's era the words were written. If we did decide authors should get 1/5 of a share per 1000 words for example oops that would be retro-active. Trying to track which words were present during which payscale era could get very hard... People would suddenly have a huge backlog to make up just to appear as having earned what they already got. I guess maybe though that could be kludged by simply reducing by 1/5 their purported grand total already paid. Hmm yeah maybe its not so hard afterall... just would need a kludge like that which then accountants and so on might go hmm at until the kludge is explained to them.)

You have a limit of 50k words per round. If you write more than that, it will be counted for the next round.

There really is not a limit on article or page, "Writers should write what they know best. Non fiction articles must have proper punctuation, spelling and grammar. In fiction, the spelling, grammar and punctuation of quotes should be what the characters would use. For poems, the style is up to the writer. In all the cases, the writer must proof read their work." Just meet these requirements and your page is good! Add as much on the topic as possible but for little know topics you will not need as much. Most pages though are between 1,000 - 2,000 though.
Keep up the great work!

So every word is counted in the total but the payout will be rounded up to the nearest 1k, got it.

Any info on the limit per article / page? Is there any?

Ah that makes sense haha I was looking at the wrong sheet.
Thanks,

I would think the only places that could decide to do that were the online wallets that know how much is in them. No way to really tell what people have in their wallets.

This may be unfeasible, but if devcoin paid stake, wouldn't it encourage people to hold, therefore cutting back dumping?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.   

I believe it will give you a new address everytime one is used (best practices and all). I found it annoying too, but the old addresses are all there in the address book and you can use them all you want, it will just keep making new ones for you though

It is done in blocks of 1k. There are no decimal shares. Though 1.8k words will give you 2 shares. It is a total word count of all articles that round, so if you have 1 for 1.2k and another for .6k then you have 1.8k which rounds to 2 shares.

Thank you.

i just noticed the devcoin wallet generates a new address every time i start it....  not used to that.... i was using Multibit for my btc wallet, and it only gives a new address if you ask for one....

Is share counting done on a word to word basis or in batches of 1k? For example, say I have one article of 1,200 words and another for 200. Would my total be 1,400 or 1.4 share or just 1 share for the 1k article?

Another question, is there a limit to the size of the individual articles?

I am doing a devcoin giveaway and was trying to be nice by giving people the transaction ID. Apparently, if you post to many times in a short amount of time, you get a demotion. I am now a Jr Member and don't want to go any lower with extra posts.

If someone could be so kind and put some comments in the thread to push it back to the top of the Alternate Cryptocurrencies thread, it would be appreciated.

I am going to try and limit my posts for a little while...

Some AV programs highlight false positives (trigger anything not actually whitelisted) where a client is pretty new to the AV or still has mining code in it (note that most on that list don't show a problem).

Updated code currently being developed and tested should eliminate any of these residual issues in new wallet builds, although none of the clients are a problem in practice. i.e. there is no 'trojan'.
