Is anyone on this thread able to help me with a Devcoin wallet question?

I have the Gui for windows installed and it was working nicely, showing up balance etc, but in the address book I had 6 receiving addresses all labelled, now it seems to be making it's own addresses? Is this normal, and if so how do I remove all the extra addresses I will never use? (Or at least move them down the screen so the ones I do use are not at the bottom?)

The disadvantages to leaping into a techy world as a writer armed only with a laptop and imagination are obvious, but I'm determined! If anyone could help with this dumb newbie question, Id be so grateful.

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 wasn't sure what the present situation was with your forum. I've seen devcointalk. That's why I released the mod. It would have been easier just to write the ticker code but I didn't consider that complete if no one knew what to do with it. The packages made that easier.

If you need me to run a forum I can do that. I had planned on doing the forum bounties as modules though, so you aren't tied to me as the admin. Anyone can install a module.

I am willing to admin and I am willing to code. I can do one or both. I have no problem reviewing others code, working with others, etc. I've done tech for a while now and the one thing that has been consistent is flexibility.

Would this make me an official devcoin/devtome admin in some way?

..
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.
..

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.


Will do. I'm at work right now and I crashed early last night. I'll have BSD 3 on there today/tonight.

I've notice that there is no wikipedia page for devcoin. So many people get their general knowledge from wikipedia that it just makes sense to create a page. Maybe a small bounty need to be established for someone to put it together. Would probably just require moving info from Devtome or the website. It can really help spread awareness.

I volunteer to manage a Devcoin page on Wikipedia. I have already begun the page using the Devtome bits:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devcoin

I will work on the formatting, additional information, and complete the article over the next day or two. If there is a bounty decided upon for this work, I'll graciously accept.
Seems a good idea to me. Notice there's already feedback, they're quick! The compiled info on devcoin.org and maybe the FAQ to come could help although looks like it has to be much more fact and stats than opinion.

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.

36 shares for a price ticker in a forum.

I made an SMF mod to do just this. Demo can be seen here:

162.243.37.115 (Just a vanilla vps, I wasn't going to grab a domain for a demo)

I've submitted the mod to SMF since I'll be building it out for other coins in the future. I guess it takes some time for them to approve it so I uploaded a copy of the mod to dropbox too:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/591u0hd7sqgaa4g/dvcticker.tar.gz
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3819

It updates every 5 seconds and is linked to crypto-trade.com's devcoin section.

sidhujag, is the source code from git supposed to be the newest? I pulled and built a devcoind, and all my transaction cannot be confirmed now ...

Edit: ok, seems not the source but the problem of the makefile. after I revert makefile.unix to the old version (the one before commit 36d595726636255a55c62780a671386c0cc7c505), everything back to normal and ok.
How did you build without libcurl? That commit added libcurl and changed boost stuff.. I dont see how it affects transactions? Why do you think they werent confirmed? Did you wait for new block?

I just add a single line '-l curl' so that it build dynamic against my system libcurl. 2 days passed and hundreds of blocks generated, so I think they were never confirmed.

Ahh I see hmm, but that would mean you have to distribute libcurl.dll with the installation Sad 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.

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.

Let me know what's up, TY

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.

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

Is the dvcticker.tar.gz package meant to be Open Source? There is no copyright in the package nor in the getJSONData.php script.

Thanks for any clarification.

- Nova

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

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,

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

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.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/devcoin/files/devcoinj.PNG/download

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).

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.

I do not give financial advice .. do your own DD
Guys, when do you think devcoin could pop, I'm talking $0.10+.

I have been seeing many threads about what coin will pop in 2014 but nobody ever mentions dvc..

As for the price, for it to hit $0.10 people need a reason to buy them, and there is always going to be selective pressure towards more deflationary currencies over this one, because they are, after all, more deflationary - devcoins take this hit in exchange for allowing the philanthropists/advertisers a way in. Assuming maybe 50-80% of the payout is being cashed out each round, people have to be buying 100M-160M coins from the market with cash or another cryptocurrency every month. This means it needs an in-flow of cash around $10-$20M per month to support everyone selling the coins they earned @ $0.10. That doesn't sound impossible to me, especially if the seriously rich philanthropists who strongly believe in FOSS decide to back it. For it to get there, we need to give people amazing stuff that they just can't get enough of. That means great writing, great media, great software, great websites, etc, and if http://www.devtome.com and it's ilk become as popular as something like wikipedia I don't see why it won't disconnect from the value of other cryptocurrencies and take its own life - the price could very well be $1/coin in 3-10 years time.

I think that as Devtome continues to grow, it will need to find new ways to grow it's advertising revenue as well. If you look at a site like Baseball-Reference.com they allow people to purchse page sponsorships. The cost of the sponsorship is wholly based on the popularity of the page.

For example.. The page I used in the link of Chipper Jones would cost more to advertise on than the page of Ozzie Guillen. Devtome could be done in the same manor based on page popularity.

If the site gets an explosion of advertising revenue over the next year and the money is used to purchase Devcoin from the exchanges. It could result in an explosion of buying pressure for Devcoin.
