Yeah, I was having several WTF is going on here moments before the Devcoins finally showed up.

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.

Is there somewhere I can read the ratings on my work? (not that I have any issues, just love the idea of critical feedback!)

Yeah, after reading some of the comments left by raters for other writers - things like (incomplete) and giving a 30, I went back and deleted all bookmark pages like the one for a chapter in progress! The rating is supposed to be for the author, with a random article given as an "example" of work, but it wouldn't surprise me if those scores actually reflected the article linked more than all the articles combined...some writers are just so prolific!

EDIT:

can I just say, I god damn love python: http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com/devtome/31/hunterbunter

can do it in the url so you can link it directly now...took about 1 minute to write and 3 minutes to test. (Yours would have been http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com/devtome/31/matt608 if I'd thought of it sooner)

Oh...  some of what I published was 'draft' material, so I suppose that's fair.  

Have a look at your ratings here: http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com/devtome

Just put your username and round 31, and have a look at the end; looks like rating was the problem.

I thought I published over 50k words this round but only got 29 shares.  I could be wrong because I can't remember if I published Hengemaster Novel (http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=hengemaster_novel) in this round or in the round before.  Can someone please check?  Thanks.

People are dumping bitcoins too. Both bitcoins and devcoins have been available cheap lately.

A great time to be a buyer.

Place buy orders below current prices in steps downward, and as they sell put them back on the sell side above current prices going up in steps.

Nice income to be made that way.

It goes in waves, a while back all my sell orders up through 193 Satoshis per coin got bought, then came this downward move where more and more cheaper and cheaper buy orders are getting taken up giving me more devcoins with which to replenish my sell orders ready for the next upswing.

How many characters are required to get 5 shares?  (I think I still have one page to go for rating anyway, sorry)

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.

Cheers Ranlo! Yes you are on the same page I think, I am thinking of adding quotes of the Devtome text with attribution and links below, so my blog visitors don't need to go off the site to get the info, but there are links to do so if they want to explore further. A list of reference links at the bottom of the blog posts could be intended to drive them to Devtome when I finish with them though

Thanks for your responses, they helped me chew this through. 

................ (so I can stop using the geeky d.evco.in)

To clarify, you're asking if you can write content on Devtome and then write blog posts that help push people to the Devtome articles? If so, that's definitely allowed, and is the alternative to doing two articles. I actually use this for cross-promotion between my own sites as well (ie. the main article will be on one site, and I'll do a short intro with a link to the full one), and from an SEO standpoint it is safe to do as well.

I see how what are saying would work, but it isn't really in the true spirit of "original" works to rework and article that way so I think it probably isn't in line with my personal ethos. (I am not suggesting its wrong, just not what I want to do with my own original work)

I am trying to work it so it benefits Devtome, not just to double to populate one or the other with the same things. I also don't think my blog is a "reputable source" yet - its the ravings of a Bitcoin explorer STILL learning that scammers are attracted to newbies coming into to bitcoins (and other currencies) like butterflies to a candle. I figure while I am learning to singe a few wings, documenting the journey might benefit others - Devtome gains nothing by quoting it in any way.

Thank you for your response though, Its got me thinking about why this was even an issue for me and I think it's because I really don't want to just pulp out words and that is the obvious temptation with Devtome paying so well for each word, but I also have to be a bit professional about it and recognise the value. So the most ethical? (for me) thing to do would be use portions of my more factual Devtome articles as references for my less than stellar blog posts and include back links in the attributions.

Can anyone let me know if this will be in breach of the license? I have read it but the above is based on my understanding, which could be wrong
