For anyone with Windows, please test this installer, the first informative post (at least 50 words) gets 2 shares, and the second 1 share. Once someone posts that they used the installer successfully, Shakezula will get the bounty.

The 6 shares were decided a long time ago, when we didn't have much money:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now#windows_installer

Today we can afford more, so I suggest the bounty be boosted to 12 shares, also Shakezula would get 1 share ongoing as long as he maintains the installer upon future releases and fixes any problems that come up. Any objections, or should something be changed?

Emfox gets 12 shares for the first round countdown clock:


Hunterbunter gets 6 shares for the second clock:


No awards remain, the bounty is finished.

Hunterbunter, since this is your first time on the bounty list, please check that your address is correct at:
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/bounty_31.csv

If I may, I'd like to submit this installer for the remaining bounty:

http://media.andarazoroflove.org/Devcoin-Installer.exe

This is a commercial-grade installer, creates shortcuts on the Desktop for Devcoin and has a brief intro to Devcoin in its about dialog.







It has full uninstall support and is built using the Devcoin and devcoind binaries from the official Devcoin site. It also contains a link back to Devcoin. Feedback is appreciated, nearly every item in the installer can be customized and I hear by pledge to maintain the installer upon future releases of the client.

Thanks for the share!

By the way, anyone wanting to be part of the community, please send me your Tagbond ID number or submit an invitation request to devcoin.tagbond.com.

Smealgol, I would be willing to forfeit a share to sweeten the pot for other outstanding bounties, if that's helpful. I would like to forfeit one share and give it to unthinkingbit to either keep or redistribute. If it's too much fuss, then disregard.

There is an 18 share bounty for an exchange or marketplace.  There are three people eligible for the award, and here is how we plan to divide the shares:

Tagbond: 9 shares for devcoin integration
Sidhujag: 6 shares for working with Mark to get devcoin onto tag bonds exchange
EEh: 3 for tagbond site http://devcoin.tagbond.com/

Does that seem fair to all?

Also, @sidhujag, is mark the markm, or some other Mark?

Please reply with some feedback on the division, and if you have a dispute please add reasoning to why you should get more or less.

After four days pass with no objections, the shares will be officially put into the bounty file.

I am hosting a scavenger hunt: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=scavenger_hunt_admin_eeh_1

Try your luck and be the first person to win the prize!

Not an informative post, but for reference there are OT install instructions here: http://opentransactions.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation
(I haven't tried yet, or moneychanger, as need to read it all a few more times to understand what I'm doing)

Thanks for your post about Open Transactions, you get 4 shares, the next informative poster will get 3 shares.

You are right! 


I will change it on the new site.

To all:  I have not updated the music on the devcoin video because youtube is giving me trouble... I will keep trying though!

Does php have format statements? Or maybe a printf (or sprintf) type of thing? A way to tell it how many digits to display even if they turn out to be zeroes?

I would imagine it must, otherwise dollars displays on websites would lack their cents digits or have only one digit of cents instead of two in cases where the least significant digit was a zero, and I have not noticed that being a prevalent dollars-display format on php-based websites in general.

So I am guessing php must have some kind of format-statement in it somewhere? Unless people always do the correct thing in dealing with money of not using floating point at all and instead using integers and themselves manually inserting a dot where they want it when printing the integer number of cents as a two decimals accuracy number of dollars...

I have tried it on Fedora 17 and on Fedora 19.

Fedora might maybe have some kind of problem with the concept of a "system tray", which seems to be a mac and/or windows concept.

However, it might be the case that more grandmas use windows or mac than use various types of Linux? (Is Android a type of Linux?) so maybe that is okay?

What I could access of it worked, but without any apparent way to make its "system tray icon" actually appear on my screen I was unable to properly use it because for some reason or lack of reason its main menu is in or popped up from the system tray icon. The main windows that appear for example when you first fire it up and it walks you through creating an account and so on has no way to get to the main menu.

I also had problems when I used "ssh -X" to ssh to the Fedora 19 box I built it on and installed it on from my graphics workstation where all the GUI stuff of any X-windows applications I run on various boxes should display. (The graphics workstation is basically just my desktop box that runs nothing itself ideally and instead merely serves as a graphical display terminal from which to run various apps on various boxes.)

When I ran Moneychanger directly from the screen and keyboard and mouse that were directly attached to the Fedora 19 box, Moneychanger fired up okay, but when I used ssh -X from my desktop box, which is still stuck with Fedora 17, the app popped up (on my Fedora 17 box's X-windows display) an error popup saying it could not find any support for a system tray.

So it looked like Moneychanger did think that Fedora 19 itself directly, using its own graphics card to drive its own local X-windows display, did have system tray support, as it did not pop up that error in that situation. But in the real world real use case of having the application run on an application-server box with its graphical display being on a graphics server (X-windows server) on the user's desk, the support for system tray could not be found.

FellowTraveler basically just says Fedora must be using a broken windowing system or something.

#fedora and #gnome type channels on Freenode never responded at all to any inquiries as to what is a system tray and whether gnome (the windowing system) even has such a thing, nor on whether system tray icons are or are not intended to be able to appear on the end-user's remote graphics server (graphical display, graphical terminal, X-windows server) or are deliberately restricted to only working on displays that are directly driven by the graphics card that is in the same machine that the application itself is run on.

I have problems running more machines to test this currently as all my circuit breakers are full almost to popping due to all the mining gear mining, I have all my machines turned off to free up electrical capacity for mining gear. But, I now have put Fedora 19 on a laptop so should now be able to again try to find what the system tray problem is and whether Fedora has such a tray and if not whether I can get one and install it or what.

(Possibly the machines I initially tried with might have broken X-windows installs or broken gnome3 windowing managers or something; the laptop is a fresh clean install so should let me at least find out if the problem is built into Fedora ab initio or was just something my specific old machines might have broken something over the years in the course of updating through several Fedora versions instead of using clean fresh installs from scratch.)

Also, Moneychanger cannot be built on default Fedora 17 lately, because the QT user-interface-editor they now use to create its user-interface is too new for the QT that comes with Fedora 17 to use. The QT that comes with Fedora 19 can build it just fine though.

I am using php, so I just use the round() function.  Should I change the interval from whole BTC to satoshis?  That might be better.

I also am upgrading hosting and getting a domain!  http://devticker.pw

It will be available in about 24 hrs

Can you force the display of the full eight digits after the decimal?

It took a moment to deduce that maybe you are using eight digit accuracy but that your format is losing the trailing zeroes, the current per devcoin value of devcoins was shown as 0.0000011 BTC instead of as (for example, at a wild guess, assuming you really are using eight digit accuracy) 0.00000110 BTC.

Those of us used to quickly visually scanning the number of satoshis are subject to a bit of cognitive dissonance when we see what looks like 11 satoshis instead of 110...

There are block explorers here: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_block_explorer and the fee is set at 1 dvc for all devcoin transactions however large, and that's just to limit transaction spam.

This is your transaction: http://d.evco.in/abe/tx/55c69de0abcade4c8eea3ddcedc4b1c5652752d6122758ab85f2e10d54bf8c03#i0

The first thing that stands out is that the timestamp is very different to the one on your screenprint. According to the block explorer the transaction was a couple of hours ago, your print refers to about 29 hours ago?

Edit: I'd guess your client wasn't connected when you sent, and only sent the unconfirmed transaction when you connected today.

Affirmative.

The vision I have is that Id like to kickoff ads right from my wallet without going external. Probably linking directly to to devcoin tag community. The only info differentiating queries for u would be a dvc address so now you can tell me what all the cool things I can do

I send you a devcoin address used for linking to your internal api and you can give me ....?

Good point. Done. Well deserved!

To all the admins, this may seem small, but I feel with all the fantastic work that has been done. We should at the very least give unthinkingbit some positive trust, he has never asked us for a dime, and has paid everyone promptly and fairly.

I was thinking that ideally I would want to be able to create a tagvert from within my wallet qt and it would send back the link to use in the ad... the payment would be manual for this one. ie to create a devtome tagvert they would click create devcoin ad and it would send back a url.. I use that url im my ad and then the person that is the admin for devtome sees the referral and pays the original person...

The persons dvc address would be linked with the ad for independence from others...

Is this possible? Would be cool.

Hi all, sorry if this is a basic question but I'm having a few problems.

I can't see any extra details (for example in Bitcoin QT you get the transaction ID) to confirm whats happened. Seems odd that so many blocks have passed and nothing. Could it be that my fee was too low?

Thanks.

EDIT: Gone through now... must have been the fees I guess?
