Neither of those links work. The charity link is where the receiver files generated from the python script go. At least I think so. Someone can correct me of I am wrong.

My DNS host had a brief outage earlier which caused the names to not resolve (across all mine and other's sites). The site is up again now.

I know that it is just a simple download to check the receiver files on a daily basis but does anyone think a daily updated blog would be a good idea? It could be used to make the receiver file information a little less "tech" looking for newbies. I was just thinking this because the information in the file is freely available to the public anyways.

Is there anything you want from there that isn't coins per share? Like breakdown by group (bounties / devtome / admin / marketing etc)? I'm already getting the account file, so I could probably put the breakdown in too...although that might start cluttering the page up a little bit.

I think people would rather see a simple HTML table that is dynamically updated everyday (draw people to the site) than parse some random csv file and try to extract statistics in their head. How do you know how much each share is worth, where is that written in the charity folder? How do you know how much time there is left to apply for shares for the next round?

I do that now on the devcoin countdown - http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com - there's an estimate on the coins/share for the active round (based on one of the daily updated account.csv from d.evco.in/charity/). I could do it from the receiver file, but it's basically the same. The only thing is it's not dynamically updated on devtome itself, but would a link suffice if it can't be done dynamically on devtome?

Hello,

I'm a newly registered writer for devtome but I can't get a wallet set up properly. I have windows and I've tried the three Windows links here http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=how_to_get_setup_earning_devcoins_by_writing but no luck. When I download the wallet and run it, nothing happens. However, I can run task manager and it appears as a "background" program, but not as a running program.

Thoughts on how to correct this?

Thanks,

Aaron

Have you given it a while to connect to the network and download the blockchain? If so, is 'Devcoin' listed under 'Applications' in task manager - highlight it and select 'Switch to'. Otherwise check to see if it's in your tray - you can then change the default setting so it doesn't minimise to tray if you want.

It might have needed a while to connect, its working now! Thanks for the quick response.

Work for me they take a few seconds to load..
These are dynamic pages that will update so its better than simply posting csv files as stats are not done and thats what I wanted to see.

This way you wont have a descrepancy between official round info vs site info because someone didnt bother
updating the website for a few months.

I cannot quite catch what you need.... for the current round (paying out) info, you should refer to official https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity , and for the next round (that changing from time to time), you may find the infos from http://d.evco.in/charity , and I update the script every day at about UTC+2. Isn't that enough?

I think people would rather see a simple HTML table that is dynamically updated everyday (draw people to the site) than parse some random csv file and try to extract statistics in their head. How do you know how much each share is worth, where is that written in the charity folder? How do you know how much time there is left to apply for shares for the next round?

OK, got you. I think I can extract some important info, and write to devtome.com... Let me check if there's any API for devtome.

There's a rolling receiver_summary text file with a breakdown of current dvc per share for the current round

I didn't know what the official logo was so I used what was in the old source repo and then just used what I can find (a logo with transparency intact).

Now that I know the official logo, I will update in 1.0.9.

What do you think the bounty should be, having spent the time on it? In the context of what you outlined and what other bounties are 8 seems ok to me, if not others.

I think 8 is fair given the fact that I have to redo it because I wasn't sure of which resources to use.. it is not really clear and getting that information is hard. I will keep the testnet ones as they are, they are different color anyway to be clear your not on the main net.

It has been my experience over the last week or so that the file is updated between 20:15 and 20:30 CST (GMT -6)

For all the images, you have to use a tool that supports the 8 bit transparency layer of png images. MSPaint does not work as you will get a white block for your image that looks pretty ugly if used. You have to have a little bit of knowledge on how to manipulate images... some photoshopping experience is probably required to do this.

1) Created 256x256, 128x128, 64x64, 32x32,16x16 versions of the devcoin logo used as in the qt wallet https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin/blob/master/src/qt/res/icons/Devcoin256_X256.png

2) Find the devcoin logo online and convert to icon format. Icon used in taskbar and titlebar of qt. https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin/blob/master/src/qt/res/icons/devcoinico.ico

3) Testnet version of the devcoin logo by changing the color of the logo internally to orange. https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin/blob/master/src/qt/res/icons/devcoin_testnet.png

4) Create icon from this png file aswell like step 2.

5) Added qt logo used in about qt of wallet, was using an online url but I put it the icon folder and referred to it from there. It wasn't showing any icon before version 1.0.8 https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin/blob/master/src/qt/res/icons/devcoin_testnet.png

6) Use devcoin logo to create splashscreen banner when qt starts up. https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin/blob/master/src/qt/res/images/splash_Devcoin.png

7) Use devcoin testnet logo to create splashscreen banner when qt starts up in testnet mode. https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin/blob/master/src/qt/res/images/splash_testnet.png

Overall I believe 11 images were created/modified/handled to complete the task aswell as the changes in the code to support them.

Ok so you've already done it, seems a bit of work involved.
Someone's going to say this so may as well be me - the problem is you haven't used the devcoin logo.

Done, also send a request to http://bex.io

Done

I am not sure if sending them an email is going to help or not..

https://www.unocoin.com/news.php

They sent a reply email saying, "We have made note of your suggestion. You can reach me on [telephone number] for more clarification." I can PM the number to anyone that would like to make the call.

- Nova

I posted that because their news section has guidance from their government that trading Bitcoin could be hazardous to their financial health. They then paused all trading a couple of days afterwards. It it not my experience that websites return from these types of things.

I could be very wrong though..

I proposed a bounty for qt images and icons. (e.g. new icons for the overview, address book, etc. and an image of the Devcoin logo inside the qt as well as the "about" sidebar) There were a few objections so I am laying out the suggestions:

1. 8 shares for the best set of images and icons, 4 shares for the second-best set; If sidhujag can add an image to inside the qt he gets 1 share as well
2. Only 8 shares for the best set, no second place
3. 4 shares then 2 shares
4. only 4 shares
5. Cancel the bounty, nothing happens

Also, what is the "real" logo? Is it the one on the old or new client?

The logo is marticps one:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_gallery#marticps3
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_gallery#marticps2

Bounty: I don't know what's involved so not in a position to guesstimate effort. When I noted the objections it was just to point them out, not to say whether 8 or 4 or whatever is right. What is involved? Do existing files just need resizing or is there a fundamental difference in the art style of new client vs those images?
