Ok, will do. Are there other improvements you had in mind? Or just saying?
Please add a note saying that the number of devcoins in the "Current Submission Round Details" will decrease until the round ends. This is because some people will look at the box without understanding what it means, think that they're going to get about that many devcoins, and be upset when they find they received way less.
Ok, added the clarification.
Changing the handling of lowercase input was a bit more complex than I thought, but it's done now. As far as I can tell it's working properly now so you should be able to enter whatever case and it should work. If something weird happens to anyone please let me know.
http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.comIf you wonder about the discrepancy between "current round submission" and a blank name search, it's because of what I presume is normal rounding procedure. They both read the same file, but the submission part just reads the summary figures (ie Bounty: 406 shares) where as the search tallies each individual item.
Also, not sure if there's still a bounty on this, but I decided to post my user experience with
http://dvc4giftcards.us anyway:
Whoot! Another update!
Both $1 and $10 are on sale, selling with
NO fees! Just hop on over to
http://dvc4giftcards.us/store.html, buy a gift card and write your 50 word review!
The $1 gift card is only about 27,000 DVC. The share award last round was 210,000 DVC, and you must be thinking of a good way to spend it!
"Two shares for the first person who writes about a post at least 50 words long about buying the gift card from (the amazon gift card) business, and a one share award for the second person."

review for http://dvc4giftcards.us/With some of the kindly tips I've received for the dvccountdown, I managed to have enough dvc in my pocket to purchase a $1 amazon gift card, which I was going to use to discount an amazon purchase I was planning on making. The site was well presented, and easy to purchase from, but I missed the bit where I was supposed to write a note to the seller. My brain just completely missed the text block, and I think that was because the big cards drew my focus away from it - perhaps it would be better presented another way, like a message box or something just before going to the payment window. Regarding that oversight, I assumed (hoped) the gift card would just be sent to my email address by default, and overnight I received an email from the site admin. It turns out they had seen that I was from .au, and the gift cards were only usable on the US store. I was asked whether I still wanted the card, or a refund, and took the sensible option considering I was looking at something on my local amazon. The next time I want something from the US store (which I do from time to time), and I have DVC to burn, I had a pleasant enough experience to try this site again. For larger purchases, though, I think would prefer bigger denominations than the $1 or $10 to save some time.
