Here is a proposal for DEVBUZZ  The Bitcoin PR Buzz DVC Investment Fund:

EDIT: due to heavy traffic Bitcoin PR Buzz is switching to a VPS soon. If the site is hard to access that is why Smiley

For admins who want to do more, there is now the Factotum position. From the latin fac totum, "do/make everything". This is open to all admins who rate writers and who are doing their current job without many delays. Any admin who rates writers can ask me for extra work.

A factotum would fill in gaps when there is no admin or the admin is busy, or do stuff that comes up. I paid a couple of admins who did extra work on an ad hoc basis, this formalizes it. A factotum gets an extra admin salary.

Hey guys hold on to your devcoins they may be worth more than your wildest dreams! Can someone knwoledgable in cryptos please take the time to undertstand and comment on what Im going to write?

User AnonyMint wrote post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3754745 on the thread "Cracking the code" that the tx fees will be the death of bitcoin in 2140 when block rewrds end and argued logically that block rewards continue to avoid mayhem. ofcourse that goes against the original idea and we wouldnt have the same speculative growth knowing phscylogically that there is no end in supply..

However lets examine this statement and what he talks about.. It actually benefits a coin like devcoin and what he is saying is essentially saying devcoin is the currency to actually become viable over bitcoin.

He said freicoin is ok because of demurrage but negative interest doesnt seem appealing on a global scale...

Ppc allows dynamic block rewards based on mining demand supply but not knowing rewards ahead of time can cause panic! I believe a few articles talk about this...so a static block reward is the winner by deduction.

So with static rewards we not only know how many coins to expect so the population knows what they are fighting over.. This will not create panic.. It will also not offer any early adopter hoarding ezcept for the few who mined while reward was low.. Even then only recieved a small fraction of the coims and dumped.. People holding can expect higher prices in a stable manor.. Why?

If population adopts something like devcoin we know population is growing yet supply is static coupled with the fact that as MarkM elluded to that as years pass less coins are minted in relation to total supply, this creates a deflationary situation that offers a small steady inflation that is known. This might be the key.. Today we need inflation but its not static its based on a falling economy.. We alll know a deflationary economy would make more efficient use of our limited natural resources but we need some inflation so lenders will lend and businesses can grow and sustain workforce... The idea of devcoin giving coins in exchange for work is also sound as when you ask me what money means it means i pay someone for work or something that took  work for which is valued in the money.

I would like to know why this isnt better than a pure deflationary system like bitcoin and if you dont agree how you would avoid the transaction withholding attack (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/transactions-withholding-attack-336350) this guys posts really switched a light on.

I like the idea of an investment fund.  It would have to be developed further so that everyone has clear expectations about it, but that's something I'd be inclined to invest in too.  One of my expectations would be that I would want nice slick website pages which explain in plain English every single project (a page for each one) with lots of clearly labeled pictures and plenty of discussion about how said project will improve my life.  All those pages would have to be easily found by visiting an easy to remember url.  The entire site should have an FAQ section, post who are the decision makers of the fund and how to reach them, indicate when things are up for a vote, and there should be a blog for project updates (categorized by projects so I could easily find all the updates on any particular project).  When you buy a share, that enters your email address (with your consent of course but it is strongly encouraged) onto the fund mailing list and shareholders are kept updated with everything relevant.  Part of the revenue could come from advertising on the site.

I suggest a 12 share bounty for the first five investment business plans, and 6 shares for the next five plans. The business plan would have to go on devtome, and make sense. The business plan can be about an investment club, investment strategy, speculation strategy, or another other way of making money by investing. It could also be about investing in non cryptocoin assets, like silver or stocks. If someone later makes a publicly traded company from that plan, the writer will get another six shares. Also, I'll invest a lot devcoins in the company if it's traded on Cryptostocks and the business plan looks good.


I agree. As it happens, I am in the process of developing some profitable and sustainable DVC investment funds - I will keep you all posted Smiley

Not a business plan but I'd suggest the next step should be developing/improving devcoin.org.

Devtome is really moving forward with information, articles, analytics and advertising revenue generation it seems and an increasing number of submissions on businesses and other endeavours relating to the crypto world as a whole. Early days and significant as a respository, but coupled with the wider marketing/advertising potential moving towards really building a broad gateway with devcoin as a prospective win-win transacting avenue.

But the main portal for new interest is still devcoin.org. I appreciate it takes work and time, but we have a spectrum of knowledge and skills here. So I'd ask those involved if/what/how we can help with getting the site improved as a better stepping stone to devcoin and outlining what's being done/what can be done as well as wider prospects (commerce/work/open transactions/gaming potential) etc.

Edit: In my opinion, the difference that devcoin offers (love it or like it Wink) is the potential to appeal to a much much wider share of the general population longer-term via project and interest range, as well as the crypto community via mutual bitcoin/other funding and bounties to date, as well as initial technicalities incorporated such as developer/miner return and price/1000 to avoid decs etc. This is what should be tapped into - with the portal to begin with - but with business plans in general. The track may take longer than some but the rewards from spreading and selling the idea and implementation, and tying that properly into compensation for working, could be massive.

Agreed! I think there are a lot of communites already out there that can take advantage of Devcoin; We should get as many other communities involved that are related to our goals using Devcoin. Increasing visibility of the project in groups that may be interested or that could contribute to the project can get us some free help even if the shares get diluted it will only be temporary as the spread of Devcoin grows... more people, more articles, more work that can be spread = higher price as people begin using it as a avenue to invest in art and culture.

Writing, after all is for everyone; Everyone has something to say, why not get compensated for it?
Right thats why i brought up using tag rewards for all of our devtome ads. It will help longrun.

It looks like Devcoin has a great future ahead of it i just started a few days ago
with the Devcoin faucet. Maybe a Devcoin PTC site in the near future?  Smiley

The Devcoin price has almost doubled in the last week to ten days. Buckle up and hold on to your devcoins. It's about to get crazy!

I was just noticing that, and with Bitcoins hitting $1000 on Gox a few times, the price of DVC is still climbing. I'm of course thrilled, but can anyone speak to the why now in particular?

I've also noticed that the Devcoin faucet has been hopping the last few days, paying out sometimes in five or ten minutes it's so popular.

im surprised devcoin isnt getting more attention. Theres an altcoin craze like I predicted when china got in and after us senate meetings it was a flashing green light. The altpocolypase will prove to buy a buy of a lifetime and there is fairly decent liquidity with about 100 mill available dvc to be bought thanks to some pretty low walls here on vircurex.

Im surprised by the less interest than coins like quarkcoin or megacoin because dvc is merge mined so network is secure.. naturally if there were big funds coming in you would think they would want security along with a good price. Devcoin offers both right now which proves to be a distinct advantage over competition. However we will have to see if this advantage is materialized because we dont really advertise the coin properly we shall see if smart money can pick up on it although i  am not worried i think this craZe will last a while and any ofthese prices you see today will be like a dream to buy at.

If i were a big fund id want security of where im putting my funds ssome of the alts networks arent that strong yet they still get pumped hard I think this is due to strong marketing campaigns and flashy websites personally.

Great post on categorizing. I've been working on it here and there as well, especially with new articles. any way to make this post sticky so it's easy to find?
Agreed. Wiser and I have been chatting about this already, but worth adding that devtome doesn't yet have facility to auto file those categorised articles. So until such a plugin/workability added, it's also helpful to file them appropriately when submitted. We've been doing this manually and will continue to do so, but it takes time and may impact on the longer-term prominence for personal income as hits/revenue analytics grow (this is particularly the case for older articles - so if in doubt just take a few minutes to go through your own articles).
