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.

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 Wink

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

No problem, and that's 100% allowed.

Hello, our admin team.

I am curious is there any strategy about the use of devcoin.org ? (I suppose it's our official main domain) like, I'd like to apply an faucet.devcoin.org for my faucet, or there will be forum.devcoin.org, pointing to future coinzen.org? anyone incharge of this? if any, I'd like to apply some subdomain. If not, I'd like to do this work. I think it'll promote our site, and increase awareness of our community, by widely using our main domain (so I can stop using the geeky d.evco.in)

What you're asking will most definitely work. But it works *better* if the content is different between the two sources. ie. do a re-write of the article for Devtome, so that you don't get caught up in the duplicate content penalty (there are ways around this, but they are much more involved). This will actually increase the value of BOTH articles.

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 Wink - 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

It was taken from a book that I published. The content can only be seen via purchasing on Amazon or on Devtome.

Are those your reviews of the books on kindle? Are they original or were they used on Amazon as well?

Hoping someone can help. I added a lot of content this round but wasn't added to the spreadsheet. What do I need to do?

I have a thought on Devtome articles that I would like to share but Im still new enough to have no idea really, so any correction will be received with an attempt at grace  Cool

I know I am allowed use and to link to articles I have published elsewhere (basically) and that anyone can then reuse my work as long it is  attributed, but where do I stand if I republish my own work? Do I attribute it in the same way, using Devtome as the source? If so, this could be quite a valuable tip for increasing Devtome content on the search engines (related to quality of inbound links and relevancy etc) or am I being kind of sneaky?

for example: Im still working on a "Bitcoins for idiots" blog in my spare time (its going to take a while), cataloging my less than spectacular exploits (beginning with the first scammers I fell for) on its own site. Some of my posts I could use this content I can use and link back to Devtome, or I could create the articles on Devtome first, and then use them on my blog attributed... (I guess referring to others work on Devtome would also have the same effect.)

Any thoughts on this in terms of impact on raising awareness, and in the long term - the future advertising/marketing revenue?

I do not give financial advice .. do your own DD
I'm now offering 1000 / 1500 DVC to each person who votes to add DVC / BTC to Cryptsy: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/on-hold-dvc-giveaway-750-dvc-per-person-408884

EDIT: if anyone wants to donate DVC to help keep this alive (or so I can increase the reward - I want 1000 people voting for it on Cryptsy) 1M8A5WqBuQYU8yBfWeEp9jZTMzCfHxv5Bg

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.

Duh ime stupid !  thank you guys , i must be losing it i didnt notice that my wallet had generated a different recieving address  question solved lol  thanks again for look though.  

Jason,

You put me on the spot and asked for a random quote on a project with no specifics in front of the whole community. I provided the quote in public forum with further questions to clarify.

I have a quote system that usually overcomes a client not knowing what he needs on the site but I figured Id be nice, its a community thing and you asked in the community forum so I set to working it out for you. I don't think many businesses would be comfortable doing that, but like I said I felt it was a community thing... Now I don't expect you to accept it but any comment, (All feedback is good and I am thick skinned) at least acknowledges the time spent working on your project for you.

I used to do all my quotes this way and this is why we now have a quote system on our site.

also someone just informed me that coin i sent them got there ok then they sent it to cryptsy and it didnt show up in his account . could there be any connection ? just thought i would put this out there as it seems odd to me . jason

They might have sent it to their internal cryptsy transfer address, instead of going to 'Balance', then clicking on the coin button and generating a devcoin network receiving address, although the devcoin sending wallet usually throws an error in that case. Cryptsy internal transfers are recognizable as they don't use any caps (IIRC) i.e. - 88300jhg000003j87c600000bbsf0000hh26vdds0000. Cryptsy sometimes takes 20+ confirmations for some reason. They can check that by going to the 'Balance' page and scrolling to the bottom to look at pending transactions.

Addresses don't show on the network until coins are sent to them.

So if that is your Devtome address but you have not received coin there yet it makes sense that the network was not seen it yet.

Though usually Unthinkingbit does a test send to make sure you listed the right address..

-MarkM-


that address is my devcoin wallet on my laptop, i have had loads sent to it and sent just as much back out all over the place yet i see no records of it even being in the system .   

http://darkgamex.ch:2751/address/16tLwjjyTgGKWfh6xLnD5k4E7zWpHq4hLC

Shows up fine for me. Shows only one coin was ever sent though.

What is TMK? and What needs to be done with it?

TMK is "to my knowledge" most likely. The incoming emails part is under revision adding the challenge–response handling. At the same time a hook has been added to the forum on http://trollkeep.com/forum/ to handle email postings to registered and non-registered Forum Members. You can follow that progress via the "My Messages" -> "Send an Email" menu choice.

- Nova

You're correct, I read that wrong (didn't read the It is) read it as TMK is. At any rate, let me know if you need help or if TenThirtyOne needs anything.
