Devcoin has been mentioned in a Wired article http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-01/13/dogecoin-and-the-era-of-personal-currency

EDIT: Time to reopen the Devcoin page on Wikipedia - I can't believe they deleted it we had just as many refs as most of the other alt coins - what a joke!

Cool! just a couple of articles such as this one could have people all over the place asking questions about Devcoins.

I think the lack of exposure of what Devcoin is and what it is about could easily be taken care of by the end of the year with some timely articles by a few major news outlets. Maybe an admin that is dedicated to being the media and/blog point-of-contact would be in order.

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to raise awareness of Devcoin would be to go the guest post route on financial blogs. If you check out the Money Crashers list of person finance blogs (below) many of them allow guest posts.

http://www.moneycrashers.com/top-personal-finance-blogs/

One would simply need to contact the owners of the blogs and ask if they can submit a unique article about Devcoins and/or Devtome. Most blogs are usually hungry for new contact and will gladly accept your offer as long as your request email doesn't look spammy. The key factor about guest posting is that the guest poster never has to pay money for it. The blog owner gets new (and free) content and the guest poster is allowed two or three links links back to their blog, Facebook page and/or a Wiki such as Devtome.

I am using my personal finance blog that I co-run with a couple of other people (below) as an example because most are set up in a similar fashion.

http://www.moneyandpotatoes.com

We have a write for us link across the top of the blog and we do get almost daily requests for guest blog posting. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the requests are of the spammy variety and they never get posted on the blog. However, we have had several valid ones that were published and they provided our blog with some good content.

The key to getting this accomplished would be someone having the ability to write about Devcoin/Devtome from several different angles and always coming up with what amounts to roughly 90% new content with each article.

It might also help to have a PDF type press packet that is tied to a domain so a link could be provided to the blog owners so that they can quickly and easily see what Devcoin is about.

I'm coordinating the marketing / press of Devcoin at the moment with monthly ad campaigns and press releases (which perhaps is how Wired heard about us). The biggest outlets we've been on from these is The Wall Street Journal and Yahoo Finance.

I would like to give you 6 shares next month - for you to put the above into action.

Would you like to do it? And are there any objections from anyone here?

I have topic moderators to where I could put it in and it would be messy or I could take another day and have it nice.

Have it nice

I regret little Wink

Placing orders to buy low and sell high does not require actually sitting at the computer all day. With email notification of buys and sells from places like Vircurex it is easy to just log on and sell higher if it was a buy or buy lower if it was a sell. Keeping things in a reasonable spread is a way of adding stability to the market, following the approach MarkM has expounded upon in this thread.
Following that approach has allowed me to double some of my meager holdings in crypo.
Of course just to dump one's holdings is not a good thing for the market. My guess is that is what we may be seeing after share splits in DVC. If this is the case perhaps a scheme whereby the share allotments are spread out to individuals on a random basis, during the period between share splits, could be employed to help to stabilize the DVC values.
Otherwise one could take advantage of that dumping should my suspicions be correct. Wink

Im sorry Nova, I didnt mean to be flippant, I do recognise the value in timely selling and buying, I just haven't gone there yet. I also think its important devcoins circulate in other ways in order to increase it's value, but that doesn't just mean cashing them out, it means passing them around in exchange for other things like paying coders who work on sites for me in devcoin instead of cash (and so on)

Don't panic - this is crypto after all - we could be anywhere in 3 months Wink

I think that is right. Just try "./devcoind getinfo"

oops missed the file not found thing. sry... prolly won't work then. Check your settings file in .devcoin/devcoin.conf and make sure everything is right in there.

Can anyone explain this mystery?

Code:

coinflip@Initech:~/devcoin/src$ file ./devcoind
./devcoind: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0xf1d1a8646650bc001c053dac07244e39f36f5bf3, not stripped
coinflip@Initech:~/devcoin/src$ ./devcoind
bash: ./devcoind: No such file or directory
coinflip@Initech:~/devcoin/src$ ls -lh ./devcoind
-rwxrwxr-x 1 coinflip coinflip 46M Jan 6 21:41 ./devcoind
coinflip@Initech:~/devcoin/src$

Presumably the file it cannot find is not the executable itself but some file the executable is looking for.

For example do you have your receiver files in place in the receiver subdir of your data directory?

-MarkM-

I have them :-(

I would love to set up a good bot sometime for buying and selling, but I just haven't had the time to write one

And getting one that is already built defeats the purpose of building it by hand to learn things

Still though, I wouldn't mind and may still do it when I get more time.

I currently have a total of 17.00 DVC ... Im pretty sure it wasn't worth much two weeks ago so whatever its worth now cant be much worse Cheesy

If you are not in a day trading rush like a 90% users of this forum then just hold few months ;] Most probably you will not regret it.

Meh, Im an artist, to me "day trading" is opening during business hours Tongue

Besides, no-one will let me play with my pennies, what can I get for 0.000005xxx cents? (US, its even more tragic in au!)

Shux Im no better in crypto land than I am in fiat-ville: when I did get 100 I promptly spent them on two lotto games Cheesy

I think I will fit the role of "circulator" since I'm not remotely interested in investor and without winning lotto I'll never be a miner and we need all 3 to really make this work (imo)

Thats all I do, no daytrading for me, I just keep turning fiat into crypto. hopefully one day dvc will be worth $1 and we'll all be filthy rich!

Right now it sounds ridiculous but after cryptocurrency adoption across the world it really can happen. Litecoin year ago was sold by 10 cents. We live in very interesting times and still 99.99% of population doesn't know anything about crypto. So it is our time to invest.

It is still lower than I bought it ;] But.. Devcoin is right now for long term investors, people still dont understand altcoins enought to see devcoins advantages. Right now we have crazy situation in altoins world due to too many new alts, volume is splitted very badly due to that but this will end soon. Right now is still good time to invest in Devcoin and I am 90% sure that people that do that today, will benefit after few months. Just diversify your money into DVC. It is a good call.

Oh I plan on hodling all my devcoins

I figure I will help the community as much as I can and whatever I get out of it, I get out of it and it will just hang out on my computer
