Hey everybody!

Round 103 is finally here as of block 412000. It was a smooth round in regards to operations. All active file custodians synced on timely manner. Kudos for that!

Now lets do some numbers to demonstrate my point of view in regards to inflation, or effective inflation if you prefer. Devcoin core is setup to ~10% yearly inflation since inception. But things aren't that simple anymore. Since the Devcoin Foundation controls 90% of the newly generated coins and we have most of them sent to cold wallets, inflation has drastically reduced to %0.5. I hope that this motivates HODLers to start spending their Devcoins, since they control huge reserves. In the other hand, the Devcoin Foundation should keep its funds frozen as much as possible. So we need to keep our very low profile budget to keep operations working at minimum cost.

Ideas?

Go go Devcoin!

Low inflation is a great solution for the problem that was ongoing, in that it helps turn DVC into a currency instead of a HODL coin. That said, it needs to have uses as well: exchanges, stores or services, etc. Has there been any headway in any of these yet? In the past we were just on some bad exchanges (like Vircurex or whatever it's called), which had little to no volume. Also, if I can get a heads-up when it's time each round, I'd love to reclaim my position as file custodian.

Srsly wtf are you high
We cannot spend DeVCoin anywhere and no more exchanges left. Coin is left to ruins.
Ideas?
Fix wallet.
Get exchanges.
Help get more miners.
Stop strangling DeVCoin with joke stockpile so market can work again.

I am following the current progress and am hopeful to see what we spent so much time and effort on come back to life in a new and improved way.

Not sure if you have heard that Justin Sun of TRON fame has purchased Steemit Inc., their web portal and stake (21%-ish). This could make things interesting with #DevSTEEM.

Here's a link to his introduction posting:

Yeah, I'll be honest, with everything I had going on during the reviving process I just couldn't balance it. My life was going up and down ridiculously like a roller coaster and I wasn't able to properly commit to what needed to be done as part of the administration team. I partially hold myself responsible for not being there when everything was being organized because I could have possibly made a difference. That said, I am following the current progress and am hopeful to see what we spent so much time and effort on come back to life in a new and improved way.

That wasn't directed at you, and you shouldn't hold yourself responsible at all.
Sorry to hear things have been tough. Take care

Had a PM basically blaming me for this and asking me to step down my role as custodian so I may be kicked from the community... been a fun and enjoyable 8 years and sorry to see it end like this for a file that took me just over a week to upload. If it that crucial then need MORE custodians to help not less. some very backwards thinking going on and I can suddenly see why ctya was having issues. I will stop everything immediately if I do leave as there is no point when the fun has stopped.

Fuzzybear

That's ludicrous but sums up 'community' progress.
Cheers for the efforts Fuzzy, and for sticking with it way longer than I had patience for.

Hi, DVC admins! I want to start off by apologizing for my absence. Over the past couple years I've gone through major life changes and my health has deteriorated significantly. Mixed with DVC as a whole having been a bit stagnant at the time, I continued what I could but didn't really see much going on regarding my jobs (Inspector Factotum, for example, I had been doing, but there wasn't a lot of writing). I want to say that I appreciate you all keeping the project alive and rebooting what we all spent so much time and effort on in the past!

I'm finally getting to a point where my health is at least normalized (though still fairly bad), but I would be happy to rejoin as an administrator in the future when I'm to a point where I feel my contributions would warrant holding a position.

Thank you all again!

I almost died from health issues 3 years ago. Your contributions are always appreciated. Welcome back.

Why don’t you go write a book about it or something? Grin

I did. And those methods cured me. Maybe 1 day people will shine a light on me and the world of people that need something to battle that disease will stumble upon my book. I'd make it free to use if possible at a later date. I lost the copy of the one I submitted to Amazon. Perhaps I'll just change that price to zero when I find my amazon password for that account...

Hey everybody,

I have to inform that round 102 started with the already known fallback reduction, which happens when file custodians aren't in sync. This time we have learned something knew, as soon as the custodians are in sync, the network goes back to normal, producing 50k new Devcoins per block. The fallback reduction started on block 408000 and stopped on block 408322, so we have 322 blocks with the penalty.

What was the cause?

In the first place I found that one custodian synced too late, again. For the safety of the network, we need a new file custodian to take over. In the second place, two file custodians were affected by a miss-configuration in the DNS, which forced redirection to HTTPS, this is a known bug that has been fixed already and is included in the latest release of Devcoin core. It is very well known that the world is deprecating HTTP, so we are now forced to upgrade our nodes to the latest release, or at least patch them with the HTTPS fix. More info here: https://github.com/devcoin/core/issues/77 At the time of writting, 20% of the network is running Devcoin 0.8.6

Let's make round 103 pass smooth!

Go go Devcoin!

I missed this event but I really hope this isn't the case. You've been a major part of DVC for a long time while we worked together. I believe I was also removed as file custodian but I had stopped uploading files when I stopped getting messages, Sad

If I can get pings each month for the new files I can ensure that they're uploaded to my mirror within 24h of a PM going forward (usually much faster, within minutes, but just in case I'm asleep and have to take off immediately after I wake up or whatever).
