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

Bit of an early xmas present I was able to port over devcoin src over to bitcoin 0.8.5 with fixes (i0coin latest) and managed to statically link in libcurl so no need for the dll either(sucked doing that btw).. now I need to test and create the qt wallet! How does the test net work?
..

We could just test it on the real network, if something error happens, the blocks or transactions will be rejected by the whole devcoin network. So I think it's safe to do it.

@Unthinkingbit, what's your opinion?


If the person is not mining with it, it should be completely safe. So please test it without mining on the real network.

To everyone,

I suggest that the first four people who test Sidhujag's client and make an informative post (at least 50 words) get devcoins. First would get four shares, then 3, then 2, and finally one. You do not have to succeed in running the client, if you post what you tried and what errors there were, that's enough. Any objections?


I will set this up on the update thread which I will update you all daily(to avoid clutter) so if anyone interested in testing or has knowledge about bitcoin source code please visit and participate here (Devcoin src code update thread):

Thank You.

Now, look how silly this thing is :  Go at http://devcoin.org/   Press CTRL+F, put "forum''.
What do you find? 2 results. One is about the pool forum, another is '' BitcoinTalk.org Forum '', which is a dead link.

How are people supposed to know where forum is? I wouldn't know now if you didn't tell me.

If you people really want DVC succeed, start making the site from the scratch.

Peace

Yes, clearly.

I already mentioned this exact problem a few pages ago in this thread.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3949363

But no one seems to take me seriously with that matter...

So either there is no webmaster for devcoin.org, or he is asleep or not responding, or it's simply not getting thru to him, or he doesn't care, because he's dreaming about ATM machines.

Hypersire is now working on the web site. I suggest a payment of 36 shares if he makes a better web site, any way he wants, with no input from anyone because that slows things down. After that, people can suggest changes and if after a few weeks he incorporates several changes and improves the web site, he'll get another 36 shares. This would not be a general bounty that anyone could get, this payment would only be for Hypersire because he offered and gave links to other sites he worked on. Any objections, or should something be changed?

Its fair since its atleast 2 weeks of work to make a customized design from scratch plus hes gotta do graphics etc with that many shares I would expect a very good site up there with the best of the alts. I think a cms system needs to be built in so non devs can edit it easily..

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.
Hi there is no limit to the amount that can be mined.. and mining is done via merged mining through a few of the main bitcoin pools. Mining on your gpu will be very hard with devcoin since its difficulty is so high...

Although to the newcomer it may seem that no mining cap is bad economically it actually serves well to the adaption of our economy today unlike capped coins. Secondly we wont see the transaction withholding attacks or anything of the like when coin caps reached on bitcoin and miners are rewarded via tx fees. The devcoin model provides a way for stable growth since every year less and less coins are minted in relation to the overall supply giving the desired deflationary affect on price that investors want and the stability of knowing the future of predictable monetary policy which doesnt shift or give incentive to attack like ppc or xpm.

Any way alot of this I will mention with more clear dialog when I write my articles for prbuzz for wallstreet journal publishing.. but welcome aboard. I hope to help clear a few things up but it will take a few weeks for me since I am working on updating the src code right now to 0.8.5..

We need go getters like you to help improve usability so make suggestions and maybe try to offer your expertise to make changes so you can make someone elses life easier coming in.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to backup a Mac GUI wallet client? Is there an easy way to generate a wallet.dat file?

thank you,

ioldk

EDIT: Found it here -

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Devcoin/wallet.dat

More info:
http://devcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881.0

Is there going to be a newer version of the Mac GUI wallet with a "Backup" menu option?

If that's acceptable for any bounty, my address is: 1LHVxAkzcN8BzSdrT7J2W3CCpiz5Rgj72E

It's great, it'll get six for the second award, as long as no one objects by Dec 18. Web wallets like vircurex can't handle generation devcoins, is that devcoin address from your computer?

6 part - that's optimistic on concentration spans! Great to get the concept out there though. If you want anyone else to read it through just ask.

Ya keep em short and sweet while building up complexity to ease the understanding.. should be good

Guys,

I want to make a Devcoin Gift Card site. Is the bounty still up for grabs? And if so, how much is the current bounty?

It is. 12 shares for the first 5 kinds of cards. Amazon and  Visa are  already available.

See http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now for a list of bounties and the rewards. Gift card is in there.

Im having issues opening my Devcoin wallet. I recently had an update for windows, and since the update I cannot open the wallet. I went to my firewall and chose to allow access, restarted, open as admin, and still nothing.. any ideas? all my other wallets work fine.

P.S Im an idiot I have no back up for this 1...
hold down ctrl shirt esc to open the task manager. Can you see devcoin.exe under processes? If so it's probably just in your tray. If not, first thing I'd do - as it's windows - is copy the wallet.dat file (browse to appdata - roaming - devcoin) and turn your pc off and on again. Edit: ok, you're cool now.

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.

In Vircurex you can buy 5M DVCs with extremely low prices still.

I wouldn't call that low anymore...  Grin

or do you have 10 k $ lying around everywhere?


I am starting to believe that DVC will be the biggest surprise of 2014.

 Cheesy

if the devs keep polishing the looks and functions of devcoin community, I say nothing can go wrong.
