I have published an article about an investment strategy: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=investment_plans_using_dollar_cost_averaging

If there is still a bounty available for the investment plans and my article qualifies, I'd be happy to collect a bounty for this.

The ticker on the forum at:
http://162.243.37.115

works, so you get the 36 shares and that part of the forum bounty is finished.

The forum is going to be a huge amount of work, many people will moderate it and a few people will code for it. Are you willing to sign on many admins, and bring in code made by other programmers? Alternately, if you want to concentrate on coding, are you willing for someone else to run the site?

I agree with this. Please make it the same license as SMF2, which is BSD 3, so that everyone can use it without license conflict.

I think it may be the DMT or static issue too, but I cannot confirm. I'd like really to build dynamicly, 'cause as devcoind runs as a daemon on servers, people generally prefer not to use distributed binarys but build themselves.

If have time, I'll try the new building system from bitcoin 0.8.6 and see what happens.

Devtome is all about sharing and open source. Post it on Youtube and provide us with the link. Nobody will claim that it's his video 

When I completed the final button share bounty I PMed the creator of the bounty. I would PM Unthinkingbit and if you check out http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now you can see available bountys.

Trying to collect bounty for the Devcoin animated video (3 mins in length).  The bounty was listed at 24 shares, who do I give this video to?  This is my first bounty so someone please explain how turning it in works...  I see no person in particular to send it to or whatever you are wanting.  It is complete and I have it as a mp4 file for someone to download.  Also, is there a place to go to check other bounties or should I just look on here? -BTW I AM BANKS FROM THE DEV FORUM

Let me know what's up, TY

Yep, when you don't put the colon then your page will link to wiki:user:[Article]

Ok thank you.
-AM

It's just a syntax error - you forgot to add a colon [[:article]]

Hello devtome writers,
I have noticed this on several occasions and would like to know if this problem happens to anybody else. When a article is already published and you go to add it to your specific page and the home page to get checked on have anybody else noticed that sometimes when yo do the *[[Article]] it will show up as a link on the home page as a link and not on your specific page. This has happened to me multiple times and I will go back into the edit box and make sure everything is right but sometimes it can not work for me? Thanks AM
Sorry about bad English (in a rush right now and still practicing all my grammar!)

SMF uses a BSD variant. BSD3 if memory serves. That would probably be the way to go if destined for SMF use. If you could put together a README file it would be a help too as to what to do with it once unpacked.

Thanks in advance,

Great news. I look forward to a Devcoin Android wallet and am happy to send some of your 13,200 DVC back (currently in my ancient cold stored Linux wallet).

Working on the android wallet for DVC, got my first transaction

Android wallet works in conjunction with the new devcoin client, no new devcoin client = no android wallet.

devcoinj (bitcoinj) minimum protocol version is 7000 (bitcoin 0.8.5), so older client peers wont be able to connect. This is not a fork, its just that the wallet will only work by connecting to peers once the new client is being used and the DNS nodes are updated to the new software.

I really liked the mycelium wallet, having ported it over to DVC I realized it was using a centralized API to act as "supernodes" and force the wallet to funnel through the MyCelium server's in order to get/send transactions. Since this API is working on their server acting as a bitcoin server it wouldn't work for my dvc transactions so I wasn't seeing my coins being sent to it. I asked them if they would allow us to clone their API to work for devcoin, but I still am not sure about it since it woudl be a centralized solution, although no blockchain downloading would be necessary and it is super fast.

Ahh I see hmm, but that would mean you have to distribute libcurl.dll with the installation I also enabled -static and -DMT (multi-thread) which might be causing the issue. We probably want to statically link.

Did you statically compile the dependencies? Boost UPNP DB4.3 etc all need to be compiled with static flag when configuring. Otherwise you can get rid of -static and build dynamically and see if it works, but we probably want to release static build to avoid packaging alot of files.

Of course ok. Trying to keep as succinct as possible to fit into the page - others were already kind enough to seriously trim my initial spiel...but Hunterbunter's perspective was a good one.

Hmm I realise in my previous post I neglected to point out that actually the shortest simplest route would be to use the already built into the MUD internal currency to organise all the workers, then once you have all those workers running around all equipped with that local currency, build an exchange where that currency can be exchanged for other currencies such as blockchain based coins, fiat, WoW gold, Lindens, or anything else that an exchange operator might choose to list or that the workers (or the players who operate them) might be interested in trading for / exchanging for.

So basically you would "CPU-MUDmine" DeVCoins by trading stuff in the MUD for MUD-currency which you would then exchange for DeVCoins at an exchange.

In practice this would probably mean creating an asset such as "MUDgaard Archon Notes" (dMAN ?) on an Open Transactions server which could then on the server's markets be traded for dDVC, dBTC, dUKB, dCDN, etc etc etc - all the other assets that server supports.

(The main reason such an asset has not been deployed yet is FellowTraveler says all contracts, assets, nyms and even server-IDs are going to have to be re-done sometime because he now wants to incorporate checksums into such IDs instead of using raw hashes as IDs, to help catch typos humans might make when typing such IDs. So it seemed we might as well wait for those newfangled IDs to be implemented before creating any more assets otherwise we'd just be piling up more eventual work of converting to the new IDs when they do arrive.)

Yeah I can throw a license on it. I'm not 100% clear on what DVC demands, Creative Commons? I'll PM Smeagol to get his word on it so it's done right

Oh I am not in a hurry. I am more trying to wrap my head around the whole "business plan" idea really.

I guess maybe what is needed is a commodities exchange, something I have been working towards for a long time.

The way I was working toward it was initially, years ago, by searching for market software that would let people trade "X amount of Y located at location X" for "A amount of B located at location C" type of trades.

So for example they could go like "I will trade you a WoW magic shield of thus and such a type, located at such and such a place in the WoW universe, for a magic helmet of such and such a type located in such and such a universe".

That search led me to find Bitcoin and Open Transactions (OT has markets, no explicit location sutff yet until they add "deeds" category of assets but still its a start and one could create location-based assets like instead of a grams of gold asset one could create a grams of gold located in a vault in London, grams of gold located in a vault in New York, grams of world of warcraft gold located in the inventory of thus and such a character in World of Warcraft and so on as separate assets).

Where I have been at lately on the road toward commodity exchanges has been to try to first have warehouses or whatever - stockpiles - of various things first, since I figured no one is going to bother to make for example a Deuterium exchange until first there are huge stockpiles of Deuterium secured somewhere to exchange, no one is going to bother to make a MUD pounds of stone exchange until there are many many pounds of stone already mined in a MUD and ready to be exchanged, and so on.

So I guess it also seemed pretty natural to me that once all kinds of stones and metals and woods and foods and so on had been stockpiled large scale trade would be able to commence, thus that people would be able to sell off that kind of stuff for various media of exchange such as devcoins, bitcoins, whatever, because supposedly it is more useful to use a medium of exchange than to directly barter e.g. stone for food or metal for food or metal for wood or wood for stone etc etc etc...

(No one bothers to build exchanges for altcoins that no one has, right? So why would anyone bother to build exchanges/markets/etc for resources no one has yet mined, woodchopped, foraged etc?)

One way I figured media of exchange would enter into it though was to do with scale.

Suppose a player on the individual character level of play wants to build a Freeciv-scale unit of settlers. That is a unit that, upon founding a city, creates a city with a population listed as 10,000 which might mean 10,000 families even though conservatively presumably means at least somewhere in the vicinity of 10,000 people even if that counts minors and babes-in-arms. The objective presumably would be to load that Freeciv-scale unit of settlers onto a Freeciv-scale starship to travel to a world they can colonise.

A Freeciv turn takes a year, so we are now looking at needing like maybe a million doses of lemonade or lime juice or something to keep those settlers from getting scurvy on their journey, and maybe three million meals so they can eat three meals a day per son on the journey, and gosh knows how many spades and pickaxes and skirts and pants and shoes and boots and shirts and so on and so on and so on to equip those people.

All that is huge scale. There is a fmour red balloon paper in which some university explained how, given that you need many things to obtain an objective, you can use a medium of exchange to co-ordinate smaller portions of the goal, so as to motivate people who might not be able personalyl to e.g. make a million dodes of lemonade to nonethess contribute some amount of lemonade toward the higher goal.

So I envisioned that the large scale would in effect be issuing bounties to the smaller scale.

A person wanting to raise and equip a Freeciv scale unit would basically issue a bounty, of so much of something for a million doses of anti-scurvy fruit or juice, so much of something for ten thousand shirts, so much of something for ten thousand jackets and so on. That "something" would presumably in many cases be a so called medium of exchange. For example it could be DeVCoins.

The small scale jobs then would arise from the larger scale... Lots and lots of individual fruit-packer, juice-maker and so on jobs would arise from what on the larger scale seems to be such a simple thing, "this city will build a unit of settlers"...

Awesome!  I've been reaching out to some projects on their IRC channels (e.g. #blendercoders) but haven't received much of a response.

Mark, as for http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=cpu_mining, if you could elaborate more on your article and how it could make money that would be great.  How can mining stones and metals and chopping wood translate into real-world gains?

Tell me once you do that, and I'll see if it's bounty worthy! (Don't rush, I believe there are still four 6-share bounties remaining)
