Moneychanger is the Open Transactions client for Grandma:
https://github.com/Open-Transactions/Moneychanger

I'd like people to try it out. The first person who does and makes an informative post (at least 50 words) gets four shares, the second 3, the third 2, and the last 4.

I think this will get the Open Transactions Client for Grandmas bounty:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now#open_transactions_client_for_grandmas

but because it's a big bounty I want to be sure and I want people to know more about it.

OT is far from being usable by "Grandma" and similiar

Question: Is the windows installer bounty still up for grabs? I thought the receiver files are auto downloaded once you run, from the online hubs?

Guessing 195 btc wasnt paid out cause im doubtful those people from 2012 are still around to pledge to an
OT bounty.. should have made them sign an OT contract

Edit:

It turns out that Moneychanger only runs in the systray:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4048771

meaning it doesn't run at all for some people, and even if it did it would not be easy to use. So it will not get the Open Transactions client for Grandma award until it runs like a standard application. Also, the bounty for people to try it out is suspended until it runs like a standard application.

After speaking with Unthinkingbit, I have decided to continue with DVC and return as an admin on Devtome. The only caveat is that I will not be using this site much (if at all) and thus you'll want to contact me via the Devcointalk forum or email @gmail.com. I look forward to moving away from this site completely as DVC begins to stand on its own and once the new forum with email is up, we can leave this board altogether.

Am not sure it's a good idea to leave this board altogether. How would new people find us otherwise? One of the benefits of being on here is that any member of bitcointalk can drop in and talk to us if they want. On a special board, they'd have to go to the trouble of signing up just to say hello, and I'm not sure casual visitors just dipping their toes in with questions would want to bother.

If we move, I vote we go somewhere like a subReddit, which is equally "public" and where new people can easily locate us.

While I agree its a good idea to maintain a presence here, I disagree that Devcoin "needs" this site. This site has had numerous security issues and this sub-forum specifically is full of spam, scams, and crap that detracts from the content that is worthwhile. I think Devcoin needs to have its own independent community for it to attain widespread mainstream support.

When this board goes down we need a place to go. The IRC should be more visible and should be used... maybe some devs should be on there to help and admins aswell.. as time goes by it will be the place to talk devcoin. Irc is so much better than trollboxing.

I think devcoin foremost needs a proper functioning windows client. Its currenlty a toy for real geeks right now. That makes it a rather exclusive coin, but it should not stay that way.

Im on that I ported it over to 0.8.5 and now testing.. qt wallet will once my merged mine proxy finds some blocks and I can somehow test the reciever file.

The qt wallet is so much better than the wxwidgets and I understand the importance so Im trying to get it up sooner rather than later.

Thanks for taking the initiative! I wish I knew how to do these things, Sad

. Sadly it's not my specialty.

Does this mean we're getting a better look for the client too?

more stable... and looks better with qt.. same as bitcoin 0.8.5 the old one used wxwidgets which wasnt that great. I will need testing help for different platforms though.

Any update on when we can test this client and where to get it?

Im working on the daemon I had to make a few changes to get a local testnet working and now Im about to mine locally to test..

Please see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/devcoindvc-source-code-updated-to-bitcoin-08x-310280

for updates. When I mine some blocks I will create qt client and upload src and daemon to test.

The round 30 receiver files have been uploaded to:

http://creativecurrencies.cu.cc/wp-content/uploads/receiver_30.csv

The account file is at:
http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/account_30.csv

There were 816 original receiver lines, so the average number of devcoins per share is 180,000,000 dvc / 816 = 220,588 dvc. Administrator pay is 115.0 shares, 14.1 percent of the total. The value at vircurex is 1.46 mcbtc/dvc, which works out to 0.322 btc. This times the bitstamp price of 684$ gives a share price of 220$.

People on that list will start getting those coins in round 30, starting at block 120,000. The procedure for generating the receiver files is at:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin#generating_the_files

The next bounties will go into round 31:

Fantastic. I have just ordered a $50 Barnes and Noble Card and will review when complete. Love having new places to spend my DVC!

As promised, here's my review of max2838's website, "http://AltCoinCards.com"

Quote

Today I purchased a $50 Barnes and Noble Giftcard from http://AltCoinCards.com. The website is very well designed and easy to navigate. The choice of cards is excellent, though some of the cards are fairly high-value ($50-100) at the time of this review. Choosing a card and adding it to my cart was very simple and straightforward. Checkout asked for more information than I'd normally want to associate with an online-transaction, though I was able to use reasonably un-identifying information without getting an error. Once my checkout was complete, I was redirected to CoinPayments.net and paid using my DVC address directly. The site sent me confirmations of my order and an in-progress order note via email. The email came from "altcoincards" which is easy to pick out of my email and related to the site at hand. The actual gift card info came within about 2 hours total and was direct from Barnes and Noble. I had no issues importing it in to my account and promptly bought a book for my Nook (Tubes by Andrew Blum for those who must know) with it. TLDR: A great site, fast response, and personal service. Thanks for another place to spend my DVC!

That should beat the 50 word reply by a few. Max was most helpful and his site is very well laid out. I'll take those two shares! Cheesy

Do billing address details need to be filled in for those retailer's giftcard, or will email do?

The cart we used requires billing address. However, we don't care if the info's real or not. All that matters is your email so that you can get the ecode.

Thanks. I'll try it out later, but if you can get amazon.co.uk cards I'll buy a few (don't know if possible to mark up in a way that splits the difference between your extra currency exchange costs and buyer's extra shipping costs via amazon.com, or if that's getting too complicated).

Gentlemen,

We just launched http://AltCoinCards.com - where you can trade your devcoins for electronic gift-cards. My fellow developers and I will continue working through the night to eliminate any blatant bugs.

Here's what we have so far: http://AltCoinCards.com/shop/

The site's integrated with coinpay checkout so that you can easily and safely transfer devcoin.

As of now we instituted a $7 convenience fee. But please note, as soon as we get a better picture of the business landscape, we plan to offer better pricing. Furthermore, as soon as the website's fully functional, we'd love to bring on some Devcoin fanatics to help run it and maybe even own it.

Please feel free to reply with other stores/services that you'd like to see on the site.

Wish you all the best,
Max

The first person who purchases a different type of card and makes an informative post (at least 50 words) gets 2 shares and the second person gets a share. This is also for any other kind of devcoin business. There are many types of gift cards on the site, including Barnes and Noble, Macy's, Starbucks, etc:

Why does this thread not tell you how many coins there are in total (that can be mined before the limit is reached) and how to mine devcoin, or where to find any pools?

The forum also does not help with this information.

Somebody recommended this to me, and after reading about it I like the idea. I think it could be semi-successful in the long run, but there is little information out right now to help people who are looking to get involved.

I had some trouble finding this out myself, so I decided to make a post about in at Devtome. Hope this clarifies things and makes clear that having no hard cap is absolutely no problem in the longer run.

I am posting the graph below as well. Given Devcoin's unique properties and the relative scarceness of this coin (can only earn it by contributing; the only other method is buying), it could attract many good things and perhaps be a model of future concepts of anonymous charity.

I decided to keep a considerable amount of DVC besides boosting Cryptostocks turnover Grin

Thank you! I was looking for something like this for my article was going to make it you saved me some time! Is it ol if I use the images in my article(s) for pr buzz?
