are bots really causing this? what happened just before it occured?

and also I had a question... who manages the Devcoin source? I'd like to contribute to the project and would not mind asking some questions.

I think it is here: https://github.com/doublec/devcoin

Hmm I didn't know of that one, or had forgotten it.

I keep my copies at

https://github.com/knotwork/old-devcoind

and

https://github.com/knotwork/old-devcoin-qt

and tarballs at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/DeVCoin/

The "old" in the github repo names are because DeVCoin is based on old code, and I had planned to start new repos to base it on newer code, but then a bunch of stuff happened making the newer code I was working on already start to get out of date so i never yet did get newer versions uploaded.

Now of course the thing to do is base it on the new I0Coin so it gets recent bitcoin code plus the memory fixes to fix the problem all merged mined coins have of needing more and more RAM over time than non merged coins need.

My name is theokep and I am locked out of devtome as well, because my account seems to no longer exist. How long is this going to take to fix? Please help.

We're using DokuWiki, I believe. Is MediaWiki a better alternative? There's more wikis here too, if we need to move devtome! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software

MediaWiki is what runs sites like Wikipedia, so take that as you will, :p.

It really is just bots. About 36k accounts actually. But since registration requires approval, they are just causing problems.

Overhead singing near the water cooler:

"Thirty-six thousand bots on the wall, bots on the wall, bots on the wall;
And if one should accidentally fall...
...there'd be seventy-two thousand bots on the wall, bots on the wall, bots on the wall;
And if one should accidentally fall...
...there's be one hundred and forty-two thousand bots on the wall, bots on the wall, bots on the wall..."

I'd just like to say a big 'thank you' to all the admins who are working to help restore normal service.

I don't have a crystal ball and cannot predict the future, however I'd imagine the worst case scenario is that the wiki is destroyed and all authors re-submit their work to another, more secure site. I'd certainly be in favour of expenditure on a robust front-end or even hiring someone to fix the problem, there's not enough hours in the day for the DVC gals and guys to be dealing with this attack. Kudos to everyone who is helping :thumbup:

Luckily, resubmission shouldn't be needed. When you run the Python script to get the latest information on word counts and whatnot, it automatically downloads each article and saves it in a .txt file (based on its title). This would be imported pretty easily I think, should that become necessary.

Still locked out of Devtome. This is going to take a while to fix, isn't it?

been noticing stable dvc price no more dumping.. what a coincidence lol no more writers to selloff the coin..I know I know ill go back to my corner. Just saying

Bitcoin's price stopped its upward movement. I think that's why Devcoin, and most other alt coins, have stopped going lower.

Oh yeah. Because we could have all dumped the coins we haven't even been paid yet... So this "stabilization" would have happened either way. No one was getting coins for like another week or 2...

wow you guys got serious marketing problems. The idea of Devcoin is amazing! but the implementation needs help; If people knew more about the works being created on Devtome then yeah things would turn around, the music, literature, art, all that beautiful stuff people think of everyday... but can't because they can't make it by expressing their dreams.

Things need to change, Devtome needs to change, it needs to be more user friendly, more expressive in it's form like the people that use it, it needs people to be able to buy the works in Devcoins so that people can buy things not because they want the damn book or music or whatever, but because they want to know more, want to see more of that artists work!

but help is limited I know, there needs to be a way to turn things around get more people being paid to do work to create the vision of Devcoin. I'll help where I can as I learn more about Devcoin and Devtome

and the bots are crazy... they are getting smarter everyday, It's only a matter of time before a programming, writing, art bot arrives.

I apologize for the delay. If someone has more db experience let me know. Trying to finish sorting out the issues alone gets a bit tedious.

Thanks for all your hard work. Just as an FYI, I too am still locked out. My user name on the Devtome is wiser.

I can't help on the database end, but as soon as I am able to log in, I can help some with deleting bot accounts and probably some other fairly well defined tasks.
