Topic: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated - page 261. (Read 1058949 times)

As the most popular alt coin exchange I believe having DVC / BTC trading on Cryptsy will benefit our very special coin immensely.

Everyone please vote for the suggestion on Cryptsy to add DVC / BTC trading and leave a comment too!

I think it looks great - thanks for all of your work. When I have time I may make some more changes / add some more refs.

When the LTC page was first started there was not a lot of media coverage and the page survived - after a fight for it!

I advise anyone reading this who wants DVC on Wikipedia to join the discussion surrounding the Devcoin page on Wikipedia - and also go through the proper channels to raise objections to the article deletion (I think you can do this from the discussion page on Wikipedia).

If enough of us add more references / content to the Devcoin page on Wikipedia - and raise objections to the deletion the page will survive.

We shouldn't just give up - let's keep DVC on Wikipedia where it belongs!

I think you might be right that there is some personal opinion going on there. Ive run out of suggestions Good luck with this

I quoted the market cap, references to age, receiver files, devtome, github, gitorious.

I used the bitcoin, litecoin, peercoin pages as templates.

I already rewrote the page from the initial post to make it as neutral as possible. It's not the 'content' that's the problem now, it's just the 'notability'. If you want to make a complaint then go for it although I'd recommend you first read the article/some of the links I posted before taking a viewpoint.

Yeah once upon a time a fork was something you used to be put food in your mouth...

I think other pages could write about devcoin but it would take them to agree to do that. If you look at other crypto pages (stablecoin/mastercoin) they have same issue with deletion. Wiki open source support - that's what I thought, but it's not how wikipedia works. The main criteria is notability, not content or subject or worth. For example there's a dogecoin article - that's simply on basis that there are loads of news reports about it by mainstream 'trusted' sources.

People who rate after will go into the round 32 bounty file.

They are generated by rating.py:
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/rating.py

1) Wikipedia has been seeking donations lately, is it worth pointing out to then that in the future of Devcoin is a place for works like theirs to also be supported and that the Devcoin community would be very happy to help them setup for accepting Devcoin donations?

2) Does Wikipedia use open source code? (dummy question sorry) If they do, then they have an obligation to the community to support it (IMO)

Re reading that I hope it doesn't sound like a bribe, I just see all open source/public domain works benefiting from the long term outcomes from Devcoins, not sure how you communicate that to wikipedia though.


Blah blah.. These are random ideas but in truth, good luck with this, if you need an average visitor to add their two bits via email let me know

Devcoin has a market cap of over 3 Million USD and is one of the oldest alternative cryptocurrencies - it is notable. It also has the primary innovation of receiver files, and the funding of open source projects worldwide.

It is notable - it is time to rewrite the article and make a complaint to someone higher up regarding this moderators actions / OPINION so that the page is not deleted.

Anyone can find some rule in Wikipedia to delete any page / part of an article.

We need to rewrite the page and make a formal complaint to someone higher, to get a secdond opinion regarding this moderator who is trying to destroy the page.

Coinmarketcap.com is not a "press releases, press kits, or similar works", neither is an online blog - so it is just that moderators OPINION that a blog is not suitable.

Everyone has a conflict of interest - the moderator probably despises alt coins - the same thing happened with the LTC Wikipedia page a year ago (we should probably use the LTC and BTC Wikipedia pages as a kind of template for the  DVC one).

The LTC page references bitcointalk, the LTC forums, Bitcoin whitepaper, Litecoin.org and similar sites - we can do the same and reference Devtome too.

If anyone makes substantial changes to the DVC Wikipedia page - please make sure to keep a copy (as well as the history which Wikipedia keeps) so that if our moderator friend deletes the changes we can easily add them back in later.

EDIT: also isn't DVC on GitHub too? That can also be referenced

Wow, a secret benefactor! It makes me feel silly and grateful at the same time.

Ok, I haven't been watching bitcoin for a while, just kinda mining it in the background. I am sure it was just the same thing, good luck for a short period, then a period of longer waiting for the next block.

Im watching 2 merged pools (I only know of 2) but its Bitcoin blocks I was referring to

Aura - Open Source ASIC PCB

https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12567.0 < Ok we are up and ready to go, we now have an open source nearly universal PCB for all ASICs!!! If anyone would like to contribute, Losh is handling the git for us, so all those people that got hit with issues on developing the klondike, this should be a better situation overall.

If it is DevCoin you are watching, there was a little hit of good luck there for a short period. Just because the difficulty is higher doesn't mean there won't be any more spurts of good luck (faster finds) it just means they are fewer and farther between. Sometimes blocks get found fast, sometimes it takes a while, it still evens out to 10min / block.

Does anyone know of a forum thread for BitParking.com?

Also, for you crypto brainiacs out there, why are the two pools Ive been watching (so I assume everyone else?) suddenly finding blocks faster if the difficulty rate is now higher than it was a month ago. Have the new miners actually been delivered so people are mining harder or is there another reason?

Once again I reveal my inner newbie 

HERE HERE!

You have probably considered all this already, please ignore if its of no use

Rather than attempt to put Devcoin on it's own page, could other Bitcoin/altcoin/digital currencies page be expanded to include a list of forks and show Devcoin as one? OR can you work it through the programmers bio about who developed the fork?...is he well known enough to have anything written about him/he or his/her work (universities etc?)

Also if I am using all the wrong jargon its because its not my stock in trade, bring back plain English I say!  

That's impossible. The donations don't even amount to 100k. And the balance available on the faucet is less than 20k (and they are still there).

That transaction is for sure from other source. Congrats!

It's a no from from wikipedia (from 2 sources)
'WP:TOOSOON' links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TOOSOON

This can't be resolved via the articles above
"Sources used to support a claim of notability include independent, reliable publications in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations[3] except for the following: press releases, press kits, or similar works;" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CORP

This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:42 is what I was told is the issue.

There's also the issue of 'conflict of interest', which again to be fair to them is true - particularly as I'm now writing this. But all with the best of intentions. Without notability and related content support it won't be added full stop.

Hey all just wanted to post this here for any ASCMDVCPT investors https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3849931

I have asked Kumala the operator of cryptostocks for a list or amounts of shares so I can cross reference that people do have the amounts they say they have or I can send some dvc to addresses or something to say sorry for the situation.
