...Here are some suggestions I have in my mind:

1) Make your own forum. - I'll pay hosting for 1 year.

2) Rebuild the website. It looks like a amateur made it. It's too damn static. ( Sorry, not trying to offend anyone )

3) Start promoting it via youtube, spread the word and convince people to take a little risk, by putting 1 dollar in DVC and follow its progress for just one week. Make people believe that DVC is here to stay for a long time. ( Which is true. )

4) The fact that people who write articles get DVC for their effort, it's really nice. But not enough to help the coin get a better position in the crypto world. All together, let's think how we can introduce DVC to the masses.
...
Peace,

PS: GamersGoneTech is a stupid kid, trying to get attention by talking bad about something he doesn't understand.

Cheers for suggestions.

1) There's a bounty for a forum http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now#forum There's an interim forum for now thanks to 'fuzzybear' (devcointalk.org), but plan is for something more comprehensive that will also address spamming and trolling.

2) I think that's under discussion/plan.

3) There's a recent initial devcoin intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE4whwzRmQ0 and a bounty for another quality one http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now#animation The issue with promotion is that efforts were hampered in the past with, let's say, over-zealous proponents so I think everybody's trying to build awareness and interest more gradually this time.

4) It's not just writing http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=earn_devcoins_by_developing and the underlying whole point of devcoin is to spread that whole core idea of payment for work and development to other areas. The more people, ideas, skills and market cap involved the more that can be done. I agree though on the point about the masses. Whether people like it or not, devcoin is a concept that could have a very very wide appeal - and I think it should because it's a win-win.

As somebody else put it recently, there are much better coins than devcoin for purely speculative purposes. In effect by stocking up on devcoin you're supporting a wide range of development projects - not just devcoin ones - and helping to build a future network of reward for working.

Know this is an old post on the thread, but felt I should chime in as the owner of devcointalk in that I would like to see the forum used more and the requirements laid out for the bounty are why the forum is never linked anywhere etc on the main websiites ... but i have to say regarding spam and trolls... i also own Peercointalk and I have learnt a lot and am keeping the spam out.

I'll relook over the bounty as I may be able to complete one and then people cn just start using the forum properly...

The cheapest card we have right now is a $10 Maggiano's card with a $5 fee. We plan to add more intervals for cards later today/tomorrow. We're thinking: 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200.

As far as the coinpayments conversion rate, we appreciate the suggestion and will try to integrate a conversion table into the site. But for now it can be found here: https://www.coinpayments.net/index.php?cmd=supported_coins. It's updated twice an hour.

Thanks for the feedback.

***Also, we want to lower the site fees as soon as economically possible. We plan to operate on a 2% margin and get you cards at the same cost of a credit card/paypal processing fee. In the meantime, if anyone wants to discuss joining altcoincards as partners to make those margins a reality, then we'd love to talk to you.***

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

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

The site refers to Coinpayment for payment in DVC, but it seems you have to purchase first before seeing how much DVC must be paid. That is not very convenient.

Am I right that a gift card comes at $107 as a minimum?

"I used DVC for Amazon to purchase some Amazon credit with my DVC. The process was very simple and the site is well laid out. I visited the site directly at http://dvc4giftcards.us/ and chose the level of Amazon Credit I'd like and was redirected to a CoinPayments.net site. I liked that the CoinPayments didn't ask for a shipping address as this is simply an online-transaction. Once I'd put in my email address and info, I was given a DVC address to send coin to. DVC takes about an hour to be confirmed and I received an email from DVC for Amazon within 24 hours containing my codes. I put the code in and used it to watch a movie on Amazon streaming video! The only criticism I have for the site is that the email came from "Smeagol Eets Feesh" which is kind of strange and un-related to the site by name. Aside from that one quibble, the site worked great and the code was perfect. All in all a very easy way to turn DVC in to tangibles."

Congratulations to shakezula, who qualifies for the award as described here: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now#amazon_gift_card

His post of 50 words earns him one share in this round, which is round 31.

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.

Now, I also promised a 50 word review of DVC4Amazon and here it is:

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:
http://altcoincards.com/shop/

There have already been two posts for Amazon cards, so there's no bounty remaining for Amazon. To get the bounty, post in this thread, and Smeagol should announce your award. If he doesn't within a few days, please message him with a link to your post.

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

The admin of CEX.IO has replied to me via email and said they will add DVC/BTC trading when enough people have requested it.

To get DVC/BTC trading on CEX.IO (which is an exchange which has pretty high volume) please complete the following steps:

1.) register for http://cex.io

2.) Go to this link https://support.cex.io/entries/28554767-Convert-NMC-IXC-DVC-to-BTC

3.) Click vote for this feature

4.) You can also submit a support ticket requesting they add DVC/BTC trading asap!

DONE!
Go people go! Devcoin is so underrated novadays.

Reposting one last time (as people seem to be looking for it): if anyone hasn't completed the above steps it takes ~2 minutes and means Devcoin will get on a big exchange and increase even more in value! It'll be added there at some point anyway but we can speed up the process Wink

Thanks i was looking for that post :-)

Currently conducting paid promotion of the latest DVC Press Release through Facebook (it is showing up in many bitcoiners' news feeds)!

Please also like and share through your networks

https://www.facebook.com/BitcoinPRBuzz/posts/209971382520291

Sweet im going to be publishing a mini 6 part series on Dvc that will be read on wall street journal! Should be interesting.

in the actual paper? Shocked

Our marketing budget will not allow all of them to be published on the WSJ (and there is never any guarantee of the WSJ running with anything anyway). Although the last DVC press release was published there

Either way these articles will get a lot of exposure

How much do u need?

Unfortunately WSJ publication is never guaranteed - don't worry we have a sufficient marketing budget to really get the message out there

I already informed Sidhu Jag prior to this, that these articles may not end up on the WSJ. He's still doing a great job though

EDIT: just to clarify we actually have other Devcoin Press Releases coming up which will be going out with the service at http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/services (the same as the previous one which did end up on the WSJ) . As things progress we may be able to set up a Devcoin media account with a very large provider, which will ensure even wider publication - I'm on it (making enquiries etc) and will keep everyone posted!

I got a response from Zach Harvey from Lamassu ( https://lamassu.is/ ). They are working on a Bitcoin ATM, and I emailed them about Devcoin. They said they are considering a Litecoin ATM first, and will consider other Altcoins (the ones that show promise) in the future. They are focussing on the Bitcoin first though (which is set to be released early 2014. So they might consider a Devcoin ATM later in the future, as long as we keep growing.

Good job,
i have send 2 emails to the guys from Safello, i hope they will respond, when they do i will let it know here.

Edit , they have replied

I'm sorry to say this, but we are not the developers of the Bitcoin-ATM.
Coindesk had a faulty headline to that article.

The manufacturers of the ATM we bought was Lamassu, great company.
Their web address is: https://lamassu.is/
and e-mail: [email protected]

Best regards,

Dinkelberg allready made contact with them,

I have now send an email to robocoin, so i hope to here from them soon
