It doesn't qualify yet because the bounty requires code changes to the Simple Machines Forum (SMF) code. That is the hard part and why no one has claimed the bounty even though it's been there for several months. Someone else also thought it meant just making a forum, so I added an explanation to the bounty which now reads:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now#forum

"The forum bounty requires programming, changing the Simple Machines Forum (SMF) code, it can not be accomplished just by making a forum and changing settings. The features mentioned below are for all users, not just forum administrators.

24 shares plus six million devcoins for a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) cryptocoin forum with email. Also, 24 shares plus six million devcoins for the option for the Original Poster to add moderators, and another 24 shares plus six million devcoins for the option to block trolls either by adding a block list or by automatically blocking everyone on the Original Poster's ignore list."


They are worth more than they've ever been, right now about 0.071 cents:

Yup, that is the problem. Also, programming the forum is doable but hard. Paying a few 48 share bounties to get a forum with all those features, finally fixing trolling and spam, would be so worth it.


It's much easier to change bounties that change the code for earnings.

Thanks psybits, markm, and weisoq!  It would be great if the video was put on the Official Channel.  I'm in the process of changing the stats and also will change the music to something under the CC license so then it'll reflect the open-source philosophy of devcoin.  I'll update this post once I'm done.

I'm definitely in favour of stamping out rambling, but reducing the shares per 1000 words also dis-incentivises good writing.  Perhaps if the voting system were made more 'extreme', so that really bad writing could be rated so low that it earns very little, while good writing earns a lot.  At the moment good writing is rewarded just a little, and bad writing discouraged just a little, perhaps we should make that difference stronger.

I said I'd pay 1 million dvc to the creator of a video. So if Smeagol gets the bounty, he'll also get that from me.

+1 great work Smeagol.

On music, one option might be something under creative commons. e.g. miguel herrero http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/6189/miguel-herrero  Electro or Ice Beat - just examples as that's the only creative commons artist I can think of and because we're not all going to have same taste on music - it's your work so your choice.

Edit: Didn't make the point I was trying to very well. The artist suggestion wasn't to hijack your video smeagol but just an idea that finding a creative-commons musician, noting that and maybe [us all?] paying him some dvc would serve to highlight the crypto-real world payment link, particularly appropriate in the case of 'free' creations to Devcoin.

markm/sidhujag: agree generally on both the absolute and relative points you make (although there wouldn't be 'extra' shares, there'd just be a great opportunity pool for other(s) because the adjusted total number would be lower).

It claims that 95% goes to [receivers, basically]. That is factually incorrect isn't it? It should say 90%?

(Other than that, its great, so lets fix that, hmm?)

Maybe with the new DVC value (and it's still rising) we could have a new bounty for upgraded clients across all platforms - with some nice new features integrated such an integrated exchange, price ticker, messaging, voting on new open source projects to sponsor even, easypost to Devtome? etc

Hey with the rising price may as well think big

I agree on the awesome! I have no opinion on the soundtrack. If no admin objects to giving the bounty within four days, Smeagol will get the 48 share bounty. If an admin does, it will go to a range vote of three randomly chosen admins.

I would love to update the wallet software but unfortunately thats out of my reach.

Unless the basic problem is the fact that one can maybe make way the heck more money rambling on for thousands of words about some piece of vapourware one would like to develop or like to see developed by someone else than one could possibly hope to make by actually writing code...

Or just rambling on about anything, heck why even write about projects or code, one could write about anything at all...

I'm not in favour of reducing writer pay to 1/5th a share per 1000 words, but I don't mind  the idea of reducing the total allowed number of shares per round, but I'm not sure of the purpose.  With the prices soaring that should give the incentive we need for the bounties to get done, provided the bounties are promoted enough.

By the way, did the DeVCoin-based corps I created threads for long ago slip under the radar?

Yea good idea so would you reduce max by a fifth too? If so where would extra shares go? I think we need bounty admins too to ensure they are done properly.

Any word on the progress of the update of the DVC client?

I doubt if any old bounties need to be doubled or increased because the exchange rate has skyrocketed lately, not only the rae against bitcoin but also the rate against fiat because bitcoin itself has also been skyrocketing. Devcoins might actually be worth more right now per coin than they have ever been.

So I suggest letting the increase in value of cryptocoins in general, the tide that is floating all boats lately, take care of making existing bounties start to look good again.

Unless the problem is that the pay for devtome writing will still keep dwarfing the pay for normal bounties since it too is floated by the same tide?

If so maybe we should consider making a thousand words be a fifth of a share instead of a full share, since we also only have a maximim number of shares in a round no matter how much writing anyone does.

-MarkM-

This is just awesome! In my opinion definitely worth the bounty

EDIT: The only small thing I would change is the soundtrack - put in some chilled psytrance instead to really capture the feel of an amazing technological phenomenon

Here's my animation.  It's 3:05 and covers most of the main devcoin stuff.  I'm open to suggestions, so check it out!

If you cut the 80 in half to 40, I would hardly notice it. It's easy to publish everything you've ever written in one round and collect a massive payout but maintaining a steady discipline of writing day in and day out is much more difficult, even with writing about whatever you want.  If I ever got to the point where I *did* submit 80,000 words in one round I think I would like to have that divided up over two rounds anyway--might be nice to take a round off and still get paid

There's no email system on devcointalk, so it doesn't qualify

You're preaching to the converted, although I can see that in effect happening regardless via sites such as the one you highlight which will be adding dvc. I think (hope) when that reality of pragmatism and efficiency hits there'll be some corresponding changes.
