I think they have a forum here by the way:

http://devcointalk.org/

Not well used.

I agree with you. Devcoin has the big problem that it is not accessible to newcomers. Instead it demands from people a high understanding and geeky knowledge to even do simple things.
Newcomers are often left alone, without guidance how to do even the simplest task.

People have no place to just talk and ask the "stupid" but necessary questions all beginners have.

Devcoin on youtube is a desaster. If you type in devcoin in youtube you get the impression that devcoin has something to do with a pothead and a paid hooker, ... not good.

Devcoin has a barrier that must come down so that new people will get curious. Now it has a wall without door in front of them.

I mean look at the people in this forum, they talk about ATM machines, while the website is a desaster... Wrong priorities if you ask me.

no its not... In the last 48hrs its doubled in price if not more... bought at .00002004ltc and its almost to .00005ltc. price is on the rise!

Fair enough. I didn't assume you'd need to run the daemon because due to the dynamic nature of the generation rate there'd be times when the countdown clock would be a countup clock. So just pulling in the block count daily via vircurex as a data point, in addition to existing pulls, seems enough.

Right now im really afraid of pump & dump scheme, a lot of dvcs is beeing sold right now...

Hello everyone.

I'm a cryptocurrency enthusiast. I heard about DVC, like 3-4 weeks ago, when I joined the crypto world.
I've made a lot of fiat within those 3-4 weeks, but how? I always joined forums to get informed. -You don't have a forum

Heard many people saying that DVC is a scam-coin. That's the only reason I didn't want to buy any DVC. Explain to people what DVC is, make them care about open source projects. Everyone likes free stuff, yes?

I want to help.

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.

That's all from me for now.
Hope you didn't got bored reading this.

Sorry for my English. I'm not from English speaking country.

I just bought : 146794.77092241 DVC. I'm going to help as much as I can, because I appreciate open source.

Who is the owner of Devcoin.org? Please contact me.

Peace,

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

Thanks for the reply,I have used that one but for whatever reason it wouldn't open when installed,perhaps a antivirus thing,i'll download to another pc and see what happens ,many thanks

Is it true that node versions need to match to accept blocks? When I run the daemon its failing to accept blocks after initial version message but if I point it to say I0coin which is same version then I can connect and get orphaned blocks (rightfully so).

So we would need a few nodes with the new daemon  and a mining proxy running real to update with new
blocks? Sucks that the testnet is broken!!

Kinda confused how to download the blockchain if it rejects based on version.

Thanks, it worked for me. If there's no objections to the bounty, you'll get it.

I've done that, intergrated with my faucet page: http://faucet.d.evco.in/ you may find it on the header of the faucet.


Edit: incase of interest, here's the code, https://github.com/emfox/devcoin-faucet/commit/ea7ec0b3c1aa23e80de6441de37cc59955364892

I'm in for testing the client.

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?

Please post a link to it, and you'll get it if there are no objections to the bounty within 4 days.

To everyone, from now on, since we have more admins, if there are no objections within 2 days, that will be enough. If there is a bounty that is out of line, someone should object to it within a couple of days.


I agree that it's not so hard, so I suggest 12 for the first person to accomplish it, and 6 for the second.


If you don't have a VPS you can scrape the vircurex page:
https://vircurex.com/

which lists the devcoin block number. Because the generation rate is almost constant, and you don't need an hourly update to the change date, scraping it once every three days would be sufficient.

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?

I'd like to claim the bounty, if it's ok. though I think it's a not so hard task, maybe 10 or 12 shares are enough.

I have a question about rewards on devtome. Are shares only given to new text contributed?

For example, if I decide to contribute some fiction I've written, will I only be paid once for it? This is what I assume is the case, but I'm confused by the mention of the words popularity and what not - popularity would imply previous work having an impact on...future pay? If someone can explain to me how it works, or point me to a page that explains it better I'd very much appreciate it.

I can't run the daemon since I don't have a VPS, so if I did do it I would have to grab the data from somewhere else.

Hypersire send me a and unthinkingbit a pm we may be able to put you to work.

Hi. jasinlee maintains the site but I'm not sure about status, never any harm in offering to help. Although there's a lot of info on devtome, as you say it's devcoin.org that people hit upon first.

I'm not a web designer but also keen to keep things moving, so just to also put it out there I've pulled together info from devcoin.org, devtome, a video script and some of my own views on a devtome page that might offer ideas for template/page material: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_summary

Hey man,

It looks like the I0coin fork that rsnel did broke the testnet as Im getting errors identical to my devcoin build which was based off of his fork. Since his daemom is already in production im assuming his base is stable and working... so I have a daemom for you to test but whats the safest way to do this? The testnet wont work. It may just work ootb but it may not and I domt wanna mess up the network.
