It works with windows 8


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?

Official devcoin src code update thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/devcoindvc-source-code-updated-to-bitcoin-08x-310280

I have to still add unthinkingbit's conteibution and shares. Can someone put the link on the original post?

Nice! and using the devcoin generation shares we can allocate money to these bounties based on interest to get done... I think thats really good.. but we need a way to automate the process so bounties will get updated every round.

He already gave up with the amount of options in alt world thats all u get. I saw bitcoin with my eyes I will try again and send screenshot.

I have W8 x64. The current DVC client works fine for me.

In deed that is an excellent suggestion... if we track the amount of people invested in Devcoin with the monetary amount and tag that to bounties we can create value based bounties; Where the most valuable for Devcoin investment ideas are marked as a percentage to show how much they will benefit the over all market capitalization of the project... incentive for all to get deeply involved in the workings of the Devcoin ecosystem.

How much is categorizing links worth to the project?
How much is helping admins automate their tasks worth?
How much is adding content support for Devtome? or even just a voting system to categorize the most valuable actionable items?

The windows bundles here http://devcoin.org/ say Devcoin, and have the Devcoin logo - I am pretty sure

I have seen it with my own eyes.

Also see here: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin

To reinstall Devcoin correctly your friend will have to go into App Data and remove all DVC files (and make up a backup of their wallet DAT if they have any DVC in there or are currently using the address).

Also, there is a free DVC web wallet at CEX.IO - they should be introducing DVC/BTC trading soon

EDIT: Please also see this thread for detailed instructions; https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/devcoin-qt-wallet-for-windows-users-discussion-thread-129563

Is the recent dvc payment from devtome advertising? If so good work - plan coming together.

Just COPY over the wallet.dat file. e.g. if you're on windows path will be something like:
C:\Users\yourname\appdata\Roaming\Devcoin\wallet.dat or %appdata%\Devcoin

It's also a good idea to also do this before encrypting.

I want to backup my wallet, how do I do that?

I have the 32 bit version running on windows (vista) and it's labelled/logoed devcoin.

Notabot - agreed. 'Cryptoaddicto' - don't know what your bctalk handle is but could you help by categorising your recent articles. I did some but there are a lot.

ya I have a similar vision but as of now only investors will be active in suggesting bounties in the end investment is what drives price.. as more bounties get complete the more ppl will want to invest in dvc. Since bounties will be paid by current imvestors older investers have a vested interest of suggesting quality bounties. Right now we arent getting devs do bounties because bounty shares dont scale to demand and no equilibrium is found.

I feel because investors dont have to pay directly for bointies we should have a more active bounty request service than would otherwise with something like workforcrypto.com where bounties are suggested only by those directly willing to pay. This idea is the same but more scalable because they invest hold and suggest instead of suggest and pay... its a revolutionary way to get work done that will benefit all... later on individuals can always pay for work traditionally via dvc on something like workforcrypto.com.

First of all we need a better official dvc homepage with all downloads etc look at quarkcoin it was same price as dvc now its almost 100x higher this month...

If we create a bounty for a site and tie in a bounty subsystem into the homepage somehow we can hit a homerun here. A system that lets admin signups for bounties and devs signup ofcourse with scalable bounty payments. This will only be possible if we change share allocation.. we have to lean out the reciever files and add whats needed remove the excess it is not efficient right now.

Yeah I agree with the above.

we need a best practices for suggesting bounties, Fin brought it up a while ago, but it is a community effort after all, so people got to suggest things let the admins decide how valuable it is; If no one does this how will we know where to apply our efforts effectively?

Community ballots, community bounties... where do we post personal devcoin bounties? that can help diversify things as well. How much will it cost me to get something done for the community?

I propose bounties for a community bounty job board and a job tracking system for common community, website, forum maintenance and development tasks according to how often these actions need to be taken on a hourly, daily, monthly or best practices policy for community members basis.

This could help make visible what needs the attention of people instead of just guessing, we need to see the whole picture of what is going on, what needs to be done, and who is working on what without having to micromanage queries... just all the info everyone needs in an easy to find, easy to follow format.

Just the foundations... we need to work on the foundation for future growth.

I referred someone to download the devcoin wallet he wanted to buy some coins however on win 8 he said it was shutting down on him without warning. Also I
noticed that its built for 32 bit.. is there a 64 bit wallet out? It should be added to the main download portals.

Also why is the wallet still showing bitcoin? Thought someone did a rename a while back??? cmon guys these are the basics we need to pick our game up.. either give testers some shares or hire proper admin developers!!

I suggest a 12 share award for selling a gift card, phone card, or another kind of card if there is any, in devcoins. This would be for the first five different kinds of card, after that it would be 6 shares for the next five different kinds of card. Amazon and Visa are already available in devcoins. Any objections?

I will soon add these businesses to:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=where_to_spend_your_devcoins and http://gotdevcoin.tk

Sorry that I've been running a bit behind.  Also, if anyone wants me to add a business just PM me (but I will add businesses if I see them in the main thread)

I've just downloaded and opened the Devcoin Wallet application on my MacBook Pro. I allowed it time to catch up and reboot so that all of my blocks are received and read in my wallet. However, when i go to Send Coin I am unable to type in a value in the Amount bar of that window. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to what to do? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Earlier I was mentioning providing hash based authenticated posts, set up a scrypt run it on google to make sure writing is automatically original. I know there are programs out there that check for plagiarism, colleges and universities use them to check students work, I'm sure there is an open source version to get started. Maybe well get lucky and someone has a opensource computer vision system to identify plagiarized images and works online, filter them out to help administrators.  Just thinking out loud, anything just to spread the work load can work. someone may even come up with a scheme to implement it with all Devtome users; Is it really that much of a risk that someone will abuse their authority, put a giant dildo on the front page or something?

I don't know about devcoin - although the 'ethical' is about distribution rather than morals I think - but on the general point it's far simpler than that. RS did that simply because he could. The whole crypto world is so new that people aren't being logical in assessing price vs value - most is pure greed so it's easy to feed on that. SR/cryptos etc don't promote anything they facilitate it but it would go on anyway. The most interesting thing to me is how aggrieved people feel at losing in these sort of scams, yet don't seem to appreciate the underlying lack of security and risk of zero in a lot of blockchain currencies when an underlying incentive exists to control as much computational power devoted to mining as possible so long as my profit is >0.

Here's an interesting and somewhat philosophical question.  Has Devcoin ever been used in a scam?  I mean have there ever been Devcoin scammers and scams?

Considering what a lot of Bitcoins get used for (SR related stuff), I'm not surprised that there are so many scams out there, and even the ones that I wouldn't consider to be scams often times go bad anyway.

Devcoins may very well be a truly ethical currency on a number of levels, depending on the answer to the top set of questions in this post.

If there is something deeper going on here, that may be the best reason of all for us to hold onto and invest our Devcoins rather than trading them into Bitcoins.

Some food for thought for a Tuesday morning...
