Wow I didn't see it go that low I don't think. But I only trade on Vircurex. I have offers at every satoshi of price up and down.

Seems maybe arbitrage wasn't working fast enough or something, in theory arbitrage is supposed to match the price across all exchanges.

I am too suspicious of most exchanges though, seems like new fly by night exchanges were coming out regularly for a while. Even one that claimed to have a hack and paid off the supposedly affected users I was already so suspicious of (maybe they were the ones involved in the whole novacoin scam thing of somesuch, can't recall for sure) that I figured the hack probably never happened, that they were just saying that to try to gain some trust like VIrcurex did (Vircurex supposedly was hacked twice and both times made good to its customers. Notice the "supposedly" in all this though. Do we know for sure even Vircurex isn't just making it up to gain trust? Main reason I leave coins there is really because I already took out more profit than the coins I have left there... and still too the main reason I do it is because I feel a duty, as one of the initial developers of DeVCoin, to provide liquidity for the coin. "Someone has to do it" so it seemed like Unthinkingbit and I were the logical people to take the risk and do it.)

Oh and lookie, that solidcoin scammer scammed again, a scam exchange, what a surprise, not.

I would agree in most cases wiser, but in realsolid's history its been more like 2 years of scamming.

I probably should.  The only problem is that here on the Bitcoin Forum, scam accusations are thick and pretty much everyone gets to be a scammer for  15 minutes, especially if something goes wrong.

Not sure. There's a guide on how to upload image files here: How to post an image

I don't know about audio. The issue with music/art/design in particular is with 'open source'; defining and understanding exactly what that means - especially to the creator. There have been some discussions about it, e.g scroll down from this msg: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2010481

As I understand it the plan is to roll out separate sites with varying focuses - the problem is the investment in time, resources and having enough people involved in vetting/checking work and maintaining quality. Then there's copyright. Devtome is open source which means we all have to be careful and take time to make sure no rights are contravened. With writing it takes time but it's doable. With images and music it's very much harder, which underlines a requirement to justify and demonstrate the existence of the open SOURCE. For example, photographs/images - it would be pretty quick and easy to upload anything I could get my hands on, but that could be either/both of zero value and without right - which is why number of images per article is limited in compensation for the time being. As with writing, those with more expertise in that area have come/are coming on board. With time and the motivation of similar portals I expect the equivalent with other forms. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on all that.

ouch.... mcxnow is shutting down: https://mcxnow.com/

Agreed, we have to work with what we have, catch up on back logs and getting people to categorize their work or  at least be guided to a best practices article; Making posters do a little more work for Devtome could really help things out and get the administrators working on moving things forward.

So how do we implement original photography, painting, music and design share distribution?

Is there a way to upload original audio content on Devtome?

We should really be more careful with known scammers guys.

 Ya there are a few investors buying here secretly in small amounts on mcx it was evident in the volume .

If you wanna see what this new interest can do to devcoin price take a look at quarkcoin it was hovering around 30 satoshi a few weeks back and hit 700 recently!

I personally think this project is of higher quality than that and will start to get attention of smart investors looking for merge mined coins.... Namecoins anyone? $5 each

It is a bit annoying holding mcxFee shares in light of this--I have a few.  But reading the trollbox more than makes up for it for sheer entertainment value

Not only that, I never run out of things to blog about!

I don't see the big deal about this site anyway. Not too worried about it. Though I'd imagine holding fee shares after that announcement felt like being punched in the stomach....

...and then mcxNOW decides to temporarily shut down...

I wouldn't dump at these prices. With a little patience, it's best to wait for a pump. The last pump I caught, I made over 1000% gains on my devcoins.

Then again..... pump may never come.    But with the new life that has been breathed into altcoins this week, I'm not taking any chances!

That's his personal website. I didn't include that and other info/blog pages that I know people have built, as was specifically addressing the questions of business-model and commerce.

notabot - brownboxtech is on there, but let me know if/when you find others as good to keep the economy growing and people aware of that.

Jesus Christ guys how made this website ->  http://show-me-the-devcoin.info/spend_devcoin.htm
It doesnt even have css file. Looks terrible. Maybe you need some help with css?

I dumped quite a few at 13-16, doh! :p

I jumped at 15

Nice jump. Thanks to those of you who dumped to me at 13 satoshis! 

I put a list together for another thread asking about various coin's rationales/merchants. Posting below and think it might be handy to have an updated list (including businesses transacting via coinpayments) so please post anything I've missed:

Thanks for replying.
No email and no PM so far, so I assume I'm not signed up yet...

I was actually really excited to see that you could buy hashing power directly with Namecoins (because I don't have anything else to do with the Namecoins that I merge mine there).  I asked them when they would be setting it up to where you could buy hashing power with Devcoins and Ixcoins as well, but they said they weren't planning to do that yet.  I hope that changes.  But if you can trade DVC for BTC right there then it would just be a two step process to turn DVC into hashing power.  I also like how the price for a GHz has been pretty stable (even through at least one difficulty rise) so I feel like I am likely to be able to sell it for more or less what I paid for when I get bored with mining
