Does fb not allow urls in pm's? I can't see that Devtome's a threat to anything unless someone's been spamming fb with devtome links?

It was not a url, it was simply 'devtome.com' typed in a message. Devtome urls haven't been recognized by fb for about 6 weeks. Devtome was receiving 1400 - 1500 hits per month from facebook, so that's good traffic, but not spam, although anything could be posted and who would know. Maybe some content has been found offensive to fb and flagged.

I believe in free speech, but if one person is using it as a portal for information about say, drug experiences, is that part of how we wish to be perceived? Certainly devtome has literary standards, but where does one draw the line on content?

Perhaps I am wrong.


If someone has been spamming other people with the Devtome url in PM then FB may have flagged it as spam. Especially if the Devtome url has been sent to many people in unsolicited PM's (FB have really cracked down on spammers sending unsolicited spam PM's to other FB users).

FB is ruthless and will flag anything as spam if it is sent in many, many spam messages to many FB users.

For now we will have to use a url redirection service (there are some which cloak the original url but I can't remember what they're called) - and everyone please do NOT spam random people on FB with the Devtome url!

But do feel free to use a url cloaking / redirection service to responsibly share your content Smiley

This is going to be a real pain when I start setting up the Devtome FB page.

I read the source and noticed that the min tx fee is 500 million? This is 10k now in bitcoin and is $10 @ $1000 btc usd.. so wth is 500 million tx fee for devcoin?? How does that work? Originally bitcoin had 50k satoishi tx fees but reduced to 10k in 0.8.5... but the dvc tx fee doesnt make sense thats more than the daily generation... where is it being scaled in the code? Nothing else I can tell is changed other than the macro related to tx fees... see what unthinkingbit wrote http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin where he talks about the changes that were made.. can someone tell me how this 500000000 tx fee makes sense?

Notabot: i had a similar problem, only that my messages appeared as spam when i mention devtome.

Another problem, with my PC. Since i downloaded the bitcoin wallet, my computer started acting crazy. There's a black window when i start it (it says something about the C:, something, something- Result 0) and it says i have some kind of Host still operating when i want to shut it down. I have no idea what to do, because i'm not really into technology. I haven't copied the devcoin wallet and i can't find it so i can copy it on another computer. I have windows 8. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
Bitcoin wallet? Best thing is to ask in bitcoin technical subforum. If you mean it's just the bitcoin client doing that then go to start (bottom left) - type appdata - browse to roaming - devcoin. Copy devcoin wallet. Do the same for bitcoin wallet if you have any. If that doesn't work because you can't access appdata, open an explorer window - hit 'alt' - tools - options - view - select show hidden files & unselect hide protected operating system file - ok. Then find the appdata folder... And do the reverse of that after. Then I would start by uninstalling and reinstalling bitcoin, making sure you have the right version, although doesn;t seem like a bitcoin client sort of issue.

If you mean it's your whole pc, then try starting it in safemode. Hit F8 repeatedly as it starts up (before any logo appears) then select safe mode with cursors. You cann then copy/send wallet to a usb or run system restore. Or run an antivirus.

Facebook Warning - I had my account suspended for mentioning devtome.com in a PM. Expect the same if you do it- it is instant at time of sending message.

How do we check to see how many devcoins we earned in round 30?  I can see I got "39 word count", but how many devcoins is that?
You can't yet until all shares, bounties, earnings have been finalised (that's why there's a gap between end of round and start of payments). But as ballpark using files here: http://d.evco.in/charity/. As of this morning the receiver_summary was 723. That included devtome earnings pre-rating/page view adjustments of 502. Amend that 502 to 488 now (using the file linked above which adjusts total word count for views and rating), add in rating earnings gives 728 receiver lines. Then divide round generation - mining of 180m by 728 to give dvc per share.

edit: didn;t see that dinkleberg, but yep correct with some adjustments.

Thats 39 shares, the average number of devcoins per share  this round is 180,000,000 dvc / 723 = 248,963 dvc (see http://d.evco.in/charity/receiver_summary.txt)

So 248963 x 39 = 9709557 dvc

Devtome network error?
it's ok for me. F5?
Edit: I had problems earlier eeh, jasinlee mentioned there are occassional attacks since disabling auto registration so might just be that. Somebody out there must be bored or paranoid I guess - we must be doing something right to annoy them.

I had asked the same thing. Apparently we're supposed to be adding categories to the bottom of articles (like [[Category:CATNAME]]).
Damn right: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=earn_devcoins_by_writing#style  Only mentioned it about a dozen times, otherwise it means we have to actually read every article Smiley to be sure whether it's really about sociology or anthropology - and is that phenomenological anthropology or anthropological epistemology etc etc, and really slows down all the other checks. Seriously though the author is the best person to discern the subject matter and then it's just a quick skim and sort and checking.

On another note, has anyone used the http://dvc4giftcards.us site lately, and can offer a review? I'd like to support DVC by buying directly with it, but there are limited options for that right now. Also, the amazon gift card site seems to take a hefty percentage (you buy a $1 gift card for $1.95, and a $10 gift card for $15.95).

On an interesting note, the gift card site is another site, like smeagol's ticker, that I can only access using a Tor (or I imagine another proxy if I wasn't too lazy to go check). I am extremely suspicious of this IP...
It's smeagol's store and I've used it in the past: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3091245 but I don't know about current status/markups, maybe because of big price volatility recently. I also don't have any problem loading either site.

There's this page: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin#disbursing_the_share. This thread can take a while to keep up with, and it's not the first one (original thread before it got spammed if you want more info: Devcoin)

When devcoin was at about 20 sats, there was no price markup.  Due to the volatile market, I've had to increase the price.  I think you may have a problem with your proxy if you are having trouble accessing the site.

@Unthinkingbit - on the devtome.csv file, it says I get a low multiplier for categorization. What does that mean?

The earnings are preliminary, because I sometimes got the error "Error 508.  Resource Limit Is Reached" when running devtome. I'll run it again today, and if it works better I'll use the new run, otherwise I'll use the one below. I hope the problem will be fixed by round 31.

Edit: The new run below is perfect, it is the final run.
