Hi. Don't know how that's done with mobile credit and accounts but it's a good idea, particularly for the younger demographic and particularly if there's some price or transaction advantage. I don't see any harm in showing a demo of a devcoin businees here - instead your biggest risk is if it's a good idea it might be copied and implemented before you're done, alternatively maybe someone with the skillset could help? I'm also in the UK and completely selfishly a local version of the giftcard enterprise would get regular business from me.

--------------------------------------------------------

MarkM:

I think the problem is that Gnome may have put the systray into an extension.

We discussed this on IRC previously -- have you installed the systray extension?

I recommend you get a windowing system that works but otherwise you might try the extensions, such as:

https://extensions.gnome.org/review/1591

--------------------------------------------------------

P.S. most Linux users do not have this problem. lclc, randy, da2ce7, and others have not reported any problems, so it's not specific to Linux. And of course the problem doesn't occur on Mac or Windows either.

Hi all,

I have been looking around for ideas to make bounties a bit more organized. A forum is good for open discussion but does not present proposed bounties in an organized fashion. I found bountysource.com. Heard of it?

I have a few ideas on how to tweek this model to make it work with devcoin, but I'd like to get peoples opinions on the feasibilty of actually making a website devoted to devcoin bounties before launch ideas. It would take serious man power to get it off the ground but might help make this opensource project even more open.

I was thinking about putting together a business plan if people show some interest.

Potential !!! 

Now that was nice of you, very noble. Love seeing this in a community!

Thanks for the review!  Turns out the review bounty is finished, though.

@Unthinkingbit - I would be like to give 1 of my administrator bonus shares (from the 3-Business-Administrator in the bounty file) to Hunterbunter for his review, even though the bounty is over.

Alright so I've decided the best way to do it is to just make github versions of the relevant files for each each (pertaining to the bounties), and copy files/commit to those directories as necessary. It's enough to at least see the logic I'm following, plus the python code to do it too.

Have fun!

 Hi , i know all you guys are working hard to promote devcoin and i think your doing a great job .
sure devcoin is going to have a good year this year .The problem so far as i see it ...not just with devcoin , but all the cryptocurrenceys in general including bitcoin: is there is nothing much out there to spend it on.!
 speculation seems to be the only reason to get involved.
i have been thinking of ways that could make devcoin more attractive and products that everyone needs on a daily basis that could be purchased with devcoin to get a jump up on all the other currencies out there.. i am in the uk and the product i have come up with is mobile phone credit.
when you buy a ten pound  top up voucher from a conveinance store the store owner makes 40 pence no doubt the payment processing teminal also makes about 60p so you only realy get nine pounds of airtime for your your ten. there are websites that you can use to top up anyones phone not just your own just buy simply entering their number. therfore if it is possible to buy airtime direct or wholesale direct from the phone networks and sell top up vouchers accepting devcoin by cutting the middle men out it should be possible to sell ten pounds credit for nine pounds which would be very attractive . the cryptocurency comming in for this service of course could also be sold on again at a mark up to keep it turning over and at the same time get a lot of atention to devcoin by word of mouth ebay advertizing ect. i have attempted to make a  demo website using a webbuilder as i am not a techie just to show the idea. not sure if i should post it here as i dont want to tout bussiness in here and kicked off.
i would like to get involved more somehow as i think devcoin is the only cryptocurrency that has a very long term future because its not just about making the money it,s about the people behind it and getting a fair share of work put in . none of the others do this so it really is a no brainer
looking forward to your thoughts any feedback. happy new year to all jason t

I am not a tech but I had a thought that it would be neat if I could have my devcoin wallet in a little USB device with a screen showing the balance.

It would have to be secured and have its own operating system so it's independent from whatever computer it is plugged into, but I could synch it whenever I like from anywhere. (MAYBE it could even have wireless connectivity so it could just synch whenever Im in range, then it doesnt nee to be USB? ....oh look a rabbit hole!)

I know there are Apps etc, but they require a smartphone...I prefer to keep my technologies in their own little boxes and a neat little Devcoin shaped USB purse would be kind of cool... (IMO) and a bit like having actual physical coins (it could be a really funky coin shape and it neednt be a precious metal since the item itself has no value...it could even be available in a range of colours and come with a matching watch!...oh wait, it could BE the watch!.. (Damn rabbit holes).

Is this possible? And if you take my idea, please make me one so I can write a review on Devtome for you

(hidden here is a serious question but it is Sunday morning and I feel playful!)

Bitcoin addresses use base 58 encoding, so on average 1 in 58 would be at least a letter shorter. To be safe, I just added a check to see that the address is valid before adding it to the receiver file.


Smeagol's short address, along with all the other short addresses, are all valid.

I don't see any fixes in those searches. Most results my browser shows as one I already visited too but I checked them again.

Hopefully if it is indeed fixed I will find once I get Moneychanger onto a Fedora 19 box again that it now works.

Going to have to go build it for 19 again to try that. Maybe they have updated the packages by now with whatever fixes, though those bug reports never seem to end with any claim that it has actually been fixed yet.

Also try to figure out what exactly needs copying from build machine to a machine that has keyboard and monitor and mouse in order to run it on a target-machine. In case it still does not work over ssh -X from my (Fedora 17 still) workstation aka graphics-terminal.

Monday I will find out firm dates for an electrician to rewire my country-house, once that is wired up I will finally have plenty of electrical circuits so be able to fire up more of my machines and have room to equip more of them with screens and keyboards and mice in an accessible manner.

1. We have many users on Linux who are able to use it just fine -- it's not a problem with Linux.

2. Google this:  "system tray" broken on Fedora.

Notice all the complaints and bug reports related to this issue on Fedora. (For other apps, like Dropbox, Skype, etc.)

3. Google these:
   A. solved "system tray" fedora
   B how to fix "system tray" fedora

(You can see there are many various solutions for this as well.)

Just thought I would bring this up, it may not be an issue, there is one thing in the files that are off (so far as I could see). Smeagol's address seems to be missing a character   I just came across that when parsing them for my prototype website, thought you should know

It worked for me, you get the 9 share improvement payment.


Thanks for catching that, it turned out that the Factotums were not getting their administrator bouns. They are now, and a make up has been added for the three factotums in round 30.


Thanks for the post, but that bounty is finished.

Incoming emails are now working on a rudimentary state at the SimpleMachines Forum via:

http://trollkeep.com/forum/

As of this writing they are not being flagged as new so one must go into their inbox to look for them. That should be a quick fix once a needed break is finished. Also tests have not been done from email accounts with a name not already registered on the forum. The code is supposed to mark such a sender as Mailman; yet, again, not yet tested.

Obviously there is still tweaking, stress testing and bug hunting to be done, yet the nuts and bolts appear to be in order.

Great job on the ticker tenthirtyone! I am working on adding it to devcoin.org right now. I made one small edit -  currently the anchor tag to cryptotrade wraps around a div tag which is valid in HTML5 only (so it might cause problems in some browsers). Just change this line:

$("#dvcPrice").text($out);

to this:

$("#dvcPrice").html('https://www.crypto-trade.com/trade/dvc_btc">'+$out+'');

and remove the anchor tag around the dvcPrice div.

Thanks again for creating it!

I came across this site while I was working on the "Spend DVC" section on devcoin.org but I intentionally left it out because my WOT (Web of Trust) plugin flagged it as untrustworthy:

https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/dvc4giftcards.us/event-29965#events

There is a claim that the site was involved with phishing.

I am working on updates to devcoin.org now.... what do people think - should it be added?

Hey emfox!  I have been working on something similar to your site and just playing around with what I can get out of it. Maybe we can merge efforts or bounce ideas off each other or something. I am also working on a few other things I have seen mentioned on the board here.  Right now the prototype is at: http://madrabbitproductions.com/devcoin/
