Are we able to suggest/add new categories to Devtome? I would like to see "opinion" as a category
Whoever is responsible (Unthinkingbit, twobits?) for the difficulty transition algorithm change in the devcoin source needs to explain to me why this was done, as this created an un-needed fork. Why do we need to do change difficulty transition logic away from bitcoin when bitcion doesn't even need it?
Bitcoin does not need it because it was the first coin made, and the biggest, so miners are always mining bitcoins. With altcoins, a miner can choose to mine the altcoin or not. What therefore happens is that if the coin value rises, then miners jump in, mining a lot of coins, way faster than one per ten minutes. Then the difficulty steps up, and at that block, it is no longer worth mining, so instead of a block every ten minutes, it can be hours between blocks. That's why most altcoins must have a short time difficulty algorithm.
With merged mining we have less of an issue with miners causing such a big change in hash to affect the difficulty no?
Its done now so only another fork will be able to improve/fix it anyway.
For a future article I might write up a noob's guide to Devtome in very simple English.
If you type Devtome into the search on Devtome, it returns a heap of articles by everyone else has thought just that too
I decided not to rebuild the wheel but I did add a template page to help me keep my pages consistent. What are you having trouble with?Thanks. Don't need help with anything in particular. Actually, just took a glance at the boat load of articles that address devtome issues and suddenly feel like there is a need for more. Maybe this info needs to be organized and prominently displayed on the main page... just a thought

I was wondering if I can claim one of the remaining Investment Plan Bounties for this plan I put together. (http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_engine) My intention was to write up a business plan that can be invested in by using devcoins that would benefit the whole devcoin community. Just wondering if my interpretation of business plan fits the description required by this bounty...
I wrote it last week, but just finally found some time to figure out how to properly post it on devtome. For a future article I might write up a noob's guide to Devtome in very simple English.

This has created much stress in development as the android client kept throwing up because last few hundred blocks were un available due to checkpointing (and gave me massage headaches as well as future devcoin developers IM SURE). The new algo depends on the last few hundred blocks to do averaging rather then just get the last diff and figure out the next diff, I haven't seen many complaints of this.
Even the new devcoin client had to make exceptions to make this "work" with older clients.
I just think these kinds of things need to be thought over a little bit more before they are implemented.
Anyone developing any devcoin applications will have to follow this construed logic in order to be able to port applications and leverage development power from bitcoin.

Hi, yesterday something very strange happened to me. I send dvc coins from my wallet to cryptsy, now 10 hours later, after 50 confirmations the coins still didn't arrive. Just before I send the coins I had a message;" there is some pc with the same ip-address at your network". I thought maybe is one of my other pc's.
Is there anyone who understands was is going on?
Thanks for helping.

There are other coins as well to be aware of :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/deleted-super-old-thread-411671
Be careful until they fix the issues. And always do some test sends with Cryptsy. Deposits and withrawals.
I see - well the first DVC press release we did which went on Yahoo Finance, Wallstreet Journal etc was funded by Devcoin. So maybe someone would be kind enough to write a review? Otherwise UnthinkingBit funded it so perhaps he would need to provide the review.
He's so busy running the project though I don't want to give him more to do!
Oh, ok.
I'll have Unthinkingbit confirm that and then I'll give you the bounty!Awesome -thanks
a couple of Devtome newbie questions:
1) once i finish writing an article, how do i link it to the main page?
2) i have a couple of articles i've posted on my own (tor hidden service) website, that also contain public domain videos (with the intent of expanding what i have written, as reference material). can i use these videos (i don't think linking to them through a tor2web gateway would work well) since they are public domain, or is there a penalty? or would it be better to link to them on archive.org? these videos are in .ogv format, and HTML5 embeddable....
3) for the article i'm in the process of writing, i've uploaded some images, but didn't upload them to root (but uploaded to wiki:users).... should they be in root?

I'll have Unthinkingbit confirm that and then I'll give you the bounty! Bitcoin PR Buzz is eligible too I think (we accept DVC for press releases - and have been paid in DVC by clients) http://bitcoinprbuzz.com
Is there a review by anyone who's purchased press releases with devcoin? To get the bounty you need a review.

Is altcoin cards working? They are eligible for the 3 share non mining business bounty, if the site is working.

FWIW, Cryptsy used to do DVC/BTC. Now they do XPM/BTC and LTC/BTC. I'm not sure why they removed the BTC link though.
I just tried Crypsy for the first time today and haven't been very impressed so far....
My intital deposit of just a few thousand Devcoins took a few hours to show up in my acccount.
When I was attempting to enter some trades, some of them would show up immediately and others would not.
However, I guess that I am going to stick around because of the closeness of the DVC/LTC trading pairs compared to other sites.

Yes Cryptsy has issues - but the trade volume there is huge and having DVC / BTC trading there will only strengthen Devcoin.
They are working hard to fix these issues too - and you will always get your coins eventually.
I can only imagine the sheer volume of angry emails they must get with users demanding action on their missing coins. It seems like it would be easier to fix the bug that keeps incoming deposits from showing up than dealing with the angry customers.
I've made another deposit to my Crypsy account and after about 12 hours there is neither hide nor hair of it.
My mistake - DVC deposits to Cryptsy seem to have become worse over the last few days
The coins will get there eventually - I'm waiting on one myself for over 48 hours.
They could use that as a slogan ...
"Crypsy - Your coins will get to your account eventually"
or
"Crypsy - We are glitchy but you no bitchy"
A lot of people just call them "Craptsy."
