Topic: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated - page 266. (Read 1058956 times)

Thanks Unthinkingbit, I really enjoyed working on it. I would definitely like to stay around as the Web Admin for devcoin.org, making updates as needed. Also, maybe there are some entirely new Devcoin-related web site projects that I could help with? I read about the forum requirements that tenthirtyone is working on but I'm not really a backend coder - if there is any front end design work or writing that needs to be done for the forum I'd be happy to help.

Hi Melodiem, I added kissmyweb yesterday - it's on the Spend Devcoin page already. If you don't see it try clearing your browser's cache as you might still be looking at the old copy.

As for businesses supporting DVC, this is also found on the Spend Devcoins page:

"You can incorporate the Devcoin checkout into your own website, which will allow you to accept Devcoin, Bitcoin and over 20 other cryptocurrencies. See coinpayments.net for more information."

I just went to Devcoin.org on my iphone 4 and tested the swipe feature. The feature does work fine but runs a little on the slow side. The rest of the site looks like a regular web version of a website that people are used to viewing.

Would it be possible for a link to be on the bottom of the web version of the site that allowed people to return to the main site? It might be helpful for those who have larger cell phones.

Done, it replaced the Devcoin Setup Exe Windows32 link. The old Devcoin GUI Windows32 and Devcoind Windows32 links are still there.

The video is at:

Tibbers is awarded the last 24 shares from the animation bounty. The animation bounty is finished.

Edit: The last video was taken down, the latest link should work.

Thanks for your great work, you get the final payment of another 36 shares.

I like how easy it is to navigate and use hypersire. Thanks for all your hard work.

I do have a question/suggestion, could http://www.kissmyweb.com be added to the list of businesses accepting Devcoins or is there an approval process I need to undertake? and could there be something on the http://devcoin.org/spend-devcoin.html page about how businesses can support Devcoin?

This is one thing I haven't tried yet, how would you ensure that your current wallet and all the addresses make it to the new software?

That wallet is good and has been approved as the new "Official Wallet." It has the most up to date binaries in it and can replace your current link.

Awesome sidhujag 

I would really like to help with this if there is anything I can do? I don't have any coding skills but I do have space to help host the landing site and happy to help build a front end if it's any use? Ive been trying to follow what everyone is doing but I am lost now so if anyone is already doing this or there is a reason not to do this, I apologise)

I would also like to support things that get Devcoins and Devtome out into the wider community. Writers and artists are not usually well known for their IT savvy (I eexpect for the developers this is not an issue) and I suspect they (we) would normally be among the last groups to take up something so complex.

If there is anything I can do to support anyone else's work in this regard, just ask.

That would be great Wekkel! When I offered to rebuild the site I had just learned about Devcoin and really liked what I saw. I managed to piece together all of the content on the new site from various sources, but I am definitely not a Devcoin expert so there was only so much expounding I could do 

As soon as your content is ready just post it here and I'll make sure it gets up on devcoin.org asap!

Thanks!

Thanx for that link!

Thanks Weisoq, no worries about the FAQs - I knew I would have to compile and rewrite everything into FAQ format. I just ask that going forward, if anyone wants new FAQs added, they just send it as close to traditional FAQ format as they can. Devtome is obviously a very text-heavy site - what works well there doesn't work so well on a "landing site" like devcoin.org.

I went ahead and made your requested edit (added "developing" under step 2).

The most frequently linked MUD article is probably http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=cpu_mining

Taking on any more users though is going to have to wait until my new datacentre is up and running. I am trying to get 400 amp electrical service put in and the red tape is massive. (Having to get the building listed as a commercial building instead of as a residence because the power company apparently won't put 400 amp service to a residential building. Also the electrical code for a residence wants stupid little useless 15 amp outlets on every 8 feet of wall in any room that could on resale of the building be potentially a bedroom if it is a residence, so to get 20 amp circuits throughout I need to do it by commercial building electrical code not residential electrical code.)

I love the layout of the new site. The 'General' tab in the FAQ is not very elaborate though. Give me a week to post a suggestion for a slightly more elaborate description of Devcoin.

I updated the article on Devtome (the value of Devcoin) slightly in view of the new site being up and running. This article can use an update as well, digging deeper into the goal of Devcoin (I will incorporate this update in the weekend on the basis of Hunterbunter's excellent summary a few pages back).  

Looks great to me hypersire. On the FAQ, you should have said something. It was still sitting there waiting for feedback from interested parties and yourself as didn't appreciate it was an addition for now. Thanks for the work though.

Only thing I'd still change is to add '...earned by developing, writing or...' under step 2 so it's blatantly obvious on front page, although guess there may be a character limit to fitting it in.

On concise, that's just about same questions being asked over and over so that's what we were trying to address. It's not possible to answer every question tersely. e.g. why is devtome english only, why no music/art when devcoin info says so, why is generation is constant, real newbie issues with clients. You may be right though about portal not being best place for it, perhaps the forum because there still needs to be somewhere people can get answers without waiting for a reply.

Can anyone explain this mystery?

Ok, I figured it was a bit tongue in cheek but just wanted to make sure. So far as the test/code for the new forums is concerned, I will help out where ever you need (or I can) in the endeavor. PHP/MySQL is no problem...

Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce that v2 of the redesigned devcoin.org is now live:

http://devcoin.org

What's new in V2

• DVC ticker added to homepage (thanks tenthirtyone)
• Community link added to top nav (points to this thread for now, I'll change it to point to the new DVC forum when ready)
• FAQ link added to top nav
• Made the site ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) compliant
• Slowed the slider down a bit (anytime the cursor is placed on the slider it will pause as well)
• Added Javascript to automatically resize slide height based on content (only seen by users with a very small viewport or users who have greatly increased the font size)
• Various minor text edits and link additions as requested by the community (Note: once the link list on the Spend DVC page becomes too long, I'll categorize the links into tabbed format)
• Fixed IE8 layout issue
• Created FAQ page - this was a lot of work as I had to scour through a ton of text from a bunch of different sources and rewrite all of the content into question and answer format... I'd be happy to add more FAQs, I just ask that they be submitted in traditional FAQ format, meaning a single question with a concise and terse answer

Mobile Enhancements:

• Added detection for very small viewports (i.e. smartphones). If the site is viewed with a smartphone the images in the slider and on the download page are not displayed due to the lack of space (the images do not contain content, they are merely decorative). I wrote some custom CSS for small viewport devices so the site looks much better on smartphones now.
• Added swipe detection to slider (Note: the slider does not support swiping by default - I implemented an add-on to make it work though I am unable to test it as I am using an emulator without a touchscreen. Someone please check it with an iPhone and an Android smartphone.)

Questions for the community:

1) http://dvc4giftcards.us/ - as I posted previously, this site is being flagged as malicious by the popular WOT (Web of Trust) plugin:

https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/dvc4giftcards.us?utm_source=addon&utm_content=warn-viewsc

Therefore, I don't think this link should be added until this is cleared up as it could undermine Devcoin's credibility. Does anyone know the owner of this site?

2) Is this wallet:

http://media.andarazoroflove.org/Devcoin-Installer.exe

ready to go or is it still being finalized? Should the link overwrite the current link for "Devcoin Setup Exe Windows32"?

3) Social media links - I can add them in a jiffy but I need to know which Facebook/Twitter/YouTube pages to point to (sounds like there aren't any "official" Devcoin social media pages, just what people are putting up on their own)

That's all for now, let me know what you think

Yeah, sure.

In a nutshell we're talking about an application that controls it's own wallet and can buy it's own hosting. Hypothetically any human action can be coded or scripted. So the work in buying hosting, for example, can be written to code. Similarly, the app can browse for new providers and even migrate itself if a better deal is found. It could put out it's own coding bounties, etc.

Now there are tons of things that need to happen first before autonomous agents are flying around and that's mostly because of trust between payers and providers. But it's an interesting thought none-the-less and one of the most exciting aspects of the future with respect to crypto currency.

Admittedly, the autonomous agent comment was about 80% sarcastic

Also:


I need Forum Admins/Moderators and testers

So while I'm getting the Coinzen.org domain (http://162.243.37.115/)I still need people to admin and moderate on the forum that is up. If you are interested give me a holler. This is more community driven than skill/experience

I need coders/testers

As we continue to deploy the forum I need folks who can test/code. Some good feedback has already come our way through good fortune of users but I would like some dedicated folks. This is driven by skill and experience.

• SMF is a very very simple MVC.
• If you know PHP/MySQL you can pick it up in an afternoon

I would love if you could submit your board code as a modification/package for SMF otherwise it makes it very difficult to maintain - the XML makes code changes super simple and easy to manage. If you cannot do this send me a PM and I can give you a cheat sheet/work with you.

Please PM me if you are interested in any of those positions.
