Do you breed?

How the hell do you think people become professionals? Practice makes perfect.

I claim this bounty:



That's my R-Pi Asic machine, currently mining Devcoins. Hook me up!

The breeding idea is dumb, no offense. People who do not professionally breed dogs (or cats) should not try to be breeders. Its a little more involved than "cross breed a few breeds a few times" and will cost MUCH MUCH more than any DVC bounty could ever pay.

That's simple. That's a whitehead on Earth's face.

I've particularly thought the avenue of a portal focusing on cryptos would work. There's a lot of info on devtome - in the e-currency, cryptos, business and companies categories - that would suit a single crypto site, as well as more personal articles written on various experiences of learning/buying/selling/trading/blogging. These could offer a regular supplement to the more info/data orientated posts. With the incentive of targeted traffic and interest (and perhaps an adjusted compensation in a crypto - devcoin) that could be a good catalyst to capture greater interest as a differentiation vs other blogs in an area (e-money in general) that's only just really beginning and in my opinion will prove to have significant overlap with just about every aspect of life whether we like it or not.

The particular focus of a devcoin orientated site, with no particular bias towards including or precluding information/promotion of any particular currency or concept may also prove interesting to the competition (not sure whether that will longer-term prove to be a restriction or limiter of success - people like to stick to their biases). Such an approach broadened out would also move further along the road of building self-sustaining revenue streams, freeing up resources to plough back into further endeavours.

As you infer, an information repository has been slowly but surely building - I agree it's time to optimise it and garner greater recognition of the possibilities. I'm not sure all/every topic would work in that format, but it does offer the significant advantage of more likely promoting sub-teams of people with similar interests taking a greater focus on marketing/writing/advertising/vetting. There's more room for trial and error - what works/doesn't can be mutually discussed/utilised with the underlying driver of mutual success as devcoin projects ensuring better finessing.

Well, if anyone can suggest a bounty then I will to!

I propose a 12 share bounty for a devcoin exchange and marketplace, sort of like bitmit except you can deposit bitcoin or litecoin and trade them for devcoin.

I suggest a bounty for the first person that can tell us exactly what these are:
http://www.livescience.com/39411-web-structure-in-amazon-photos.html

I suggest a bounty for anyone that can synthesize any chemical through a route that has not been recorded. People discover new and easier ways to make things every day and sometimes even find papers where someone made something but only recorded the modern desired product as a byproduct.

I also suggest a bounty for photographs of important locations, buildings and natural landmarks. Like national monuments and mountain ranges.

I sent this to Unthinkingbit, but thought I would post it here as well. Because I am not sure how suggesting bounties works.

I suggest a bounty for Classification of Bacteria and other microbes. Either an entire catalog, or just a payout every time someone catalogs something we have never cataloged on devtome. Eventually we will start discovering new things.

There are 1000x Digital Microscopes on Amazon for $124.00 and you can get Amazon gift cards on Gyft.com

I also suggest bounties for educational videos. Each made, or each series of 5 or 10, and maybe a time minimum included. This way people can start getting paid in Devcoins to teach people about coding, or devcoin itself. As well as a variety of other educational aspects.

I suggest a bounty for inventions. If someone can invent ANYTHING that doesn't have a patent, they should be able to at least get a small bounty. Because even if it is a small invention and seems useless, it could end up being the key component to something larger.

I have more, but I will wait for a reply.

I would be interested in working on this for a DVC bounty, but my suggestions are a big change to the project and we'd need some consensus. 

I'm proposing a dismantling of Devtome and a re-packaging of its content onto separate websites.  These will be more reader friendly, more search engine friendly and more advertiser friendly. 

That's the strength of Devtome, the content, and the 'packaging' of that content is very important.

I can do this work in two stages:

Stage 1:  Planning

To start I would decide how Devtomes content would be best divided up to be commercially viable on a blog network.  At a quick glance I can see the e-currency section with some articles from the Computing section would work well together on a single website.  Also the health section looks strong enough to have its own website.  Each individual website will need to have enough content to be viable, so the content in some isolated and thinly populated categories may not be able to be used at first.  Once I've divided it all up and done some keyword research for search terms we should aim to rank for and found some good domain names to use I can proceed to the next stage, which is:

Stage 2:  Execution
Register the domain names, install wordpress on them.  I would need help making the designs look snazzy as I am not a web designer, but I can find decent free wordpress themes to get started with.  I would then go about removing the articles from Devtome and publish them onto the new Devcoin powered blog network.  Google likes it when a site has new content added regularly, so re-publishing the articles approximately one per day over the course of a few months would be best.  (Devtome of course does have regular content added, which is great, but its lack of topic-focus makes it hard for the search engines to categorise).  New content would still be needed all the time as per usual to keep growing the blogs.  I would also be able to provide the lists of keywords we would be aiming to rank for in the search engines to Devtomers and explain in detail how to go about link building to build highly targeted organic search traffic.  Once traffic builds, I can put up Google Adsense (have done this lots of times before) and we can use the revenue to do whatever we think we should.  I'd recommend waiting 2-3 months before putting up any ads to let traffic build first.

If people want me to go ahead with this, please voice your opinions.  It is a big project and I am willing to do it for a bounty.

Do we just PM you to make a suggestion?

The ticker I found (http://dvcticker.appspot.com/) seems to be running on the old vircurex API.  Is there a better one?

I have no objections to the bounty!

Thanks,

But the bounties aren't being done because 1) they are not being advertised and 2) The incentive does not "grow". It is actually shrinking with price. If someone doesn't take something up it is either because they don't know or don't care to do it because its not worth it to them. If we make it worth it for them they will do it and the list of claimed bounties will grow adding to our marketing repertoire. 1 and 2 are related I think if you do bounties, people will become interested. In order to do bounties you have to create incentive. Incentive can come from marketing or from coins. We can do both but we need a way to increase pay dynamically to catch interest. In order to do this you would stop proposing bounties in terms of shares but as absolute coin amounts. The number of shares would be divvy'd up amongst all bounties in contention (divided shares of a bounty list) and bounty payouts would be accrued up every round, the bounty page would be updated manually or automatically.

What about something like what Matt_608 suggested in that the devtome website should be reorganized. That is an effective bounty that someone should take on with webpage experience and maybe use Matt_608 as a analyst to lead the change. This is what I meant by administrating the bounty. He would be good to be an admin for the bounty and someone who can do HTML or CMS systems fairly quickly can easily code it given strict guidelines.

I will start requesting bounties then, we should all make these requests and try to focus on things for now that will benefit this project. As soon as this project gets off its feet I'm sure we will have lots of opportunity to help the rest of the world.

The bounty hub is essential to create a presentation layer between the customers ( new people viewing as investors or new developers or people coming to the project and crypto world) and the backend grunt workers such as us who do the actual work administration etc. When I picture the site I picture a site where you can signup/transferability over to devtome which should be organized in a coherent manor and an organized section on bounties; a formal process of being able to easily view bounties, claim bounties by submitting work and updating/creating bounties for approval.

Anyone can suggest a bounty, the majority of the bounties at:
www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now

were not started by me. The reason we don't have more bounties is because we didn't get any more suggestions that are useful, could be done for less than 5000$ and haven't already been done.

Note, people can only suggest two bounties per month, and the bounty description has to be at least 50 words.


Bounties were given out for the devcoin.org page, and a backup page. Bounties were given to vircurex and mcxnow for adding devcoin.

The bounty page is small, it takes less than ten minutes to read all the bounties, so there's no need yet for a bounty hub. Eventually if we post many bounties, then that would be useful. The only known bug is the high ram consumption, and thanks to you Rsnel is now working on that. He would get at least 6 million coins from me for it and if people don't object, 48 shares for making the low ram version.

This is doable, and I want to people to see that devcoin is beating fiat. The btc/dvc ticker bounty ended up being about 18 hours of work, and it was grabbed very quickly, even before it was finalized. Since the bounties have been doubled at least once since then, I suggest 18 shares for a USD/DVC chart. Any objections or should changes be made?

I've put together a simple tool to keep track of the Devcoin price: http://dvc4giftcards.us/test/tickers.php

Any suggestions, just contact me.  I will be adding a feature in which you can add your own amount (like preev) soon, too!

You probably wouldn't pay them until the bounty is claimed (work is done).. and that payment would be over rounds and not at once so that someone wouldn't dump all at once. That means the developer needs to work in a timely manor or else it may get claimed by someone else. The idea is to let it become a market and let the market decide what price is being paid to what work instead of setting it and hoping it is "good enough" to attract a developer.

Yes if a developer chose a time when bounties were high and noone else did them, he could hit the jackpot but thats what the market is all about, it decides overbought/oversold conditions and as it matures it will grow and you woulndt see cases where bounties were high enough to let any one person hitting jackpots. From an investors perspective all they care is to look at the project technicals/fundamentals and risk:reward situation. If there is no reward (the current state of the project justifies the price) then there is no need for risk.

By efficiently allocating work per devcoin and letting the market decide we may get to a point where there is some risk taking going on because people would view that there is reward in the coin from a higher price. Right now it is not very efficient because ad revenue output is so low, hard to argue that any bounty that can be complete now is worth less than the ad output even though we had many writers writing before.
