Topic: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated - page 371. (Read 1058956 times)

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

I just love Devcoin! 

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?

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...

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

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.

In all this turmoil I'd just like to point out matt's avatar... LOL  

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.

Database problems.  Bots!

i was thinking about starting on devtome, but what is going on?!?!

I can try to look I manage mysql database at work for our software team. I've used sql a bit.

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.

Still locked out. 

Any closer to being fixed? I've been working on my blog, and in the past 2 days I've gotten more views than any 1 month in the past year (over 1,000).

I certainly would like to see coloured coins developed (as you know).  It will be huge in the equity-crowd funding arena which is imho the where the next big wave of web development will be.  Also, being a devtome writer I'm happy for Devcoin to be involved, it seems like a fitting project seeing as devtome is supposed to support all kinds of development, not just writing.  Hopefully devcoin bounties will attract programmers to this project.

Recently I've been trying to find developers to help me to complete colored coins client implementation, with no success: I'm now working on it alone.

I know that there developers well-versed in cryptocurrencies in this thread, so I'm asking here too.

Brief intro: colored coins can be used to represent ownership of securities or smart property; they can exist in existing blockchain (Bitcoin/Litecoin/Devcoin) and do not require changes to protocol; they do put any data extra into the blockchain they use, and so transactions involving colored coins do not bloat blockchain any more than normal trade transactions; colored coins can be used to implement decentralized exchanges for stocks, bonds, etc

What: We already have several working prototypes, now we need to make an implementation which is actually usable. This involves optimization, improvements to user interface, security-related improvements etc. The most promising implementation now (in terms of what can be completed quickly) is so-called NGCCC (Next-generation colored coin client). It is implemented in Python, has small code base, works together with bitcoind.

Why: Well, people were asking for a thing like this for quite some time, but complete implementation have been delayed for various reasons. (We actually had a fully functional prototype back in January.) Right now, BTCT.co is closing, and issuers are looking for a new home, so it would be nice to offer them decentralized exchange. Another reason is competition from Mastercoin: Mastercoin aims to offer something similar, but is worse in term of decentralization. So I think it's better to complete the good thing until the bad thing takes off.

The deal: I'm looking for Python developers who understand what it takes to implement a cryptocurrency wallet. We need to implement this thing as soon as possible, so I need developers ASAP. There is 70 BTC compensation pool, it will be spread over several milestones and will be awarded to developers proportional to their contributions. I'm also looking for JS developers for another implementation, but it is lower priority. If interested, please PM me.

How is this relevant for Devcoin: OK, since it is a Devcoin thread, I have to explain why it is relevant, so:

• We can discuss colored coins on Devcoin blockchain: I believe it would be beneficial to Devcoin as it will allow Devcoin users to do crowdfunding and whatnot, there is a plenty of creative uses. It won't significantly affect Devcoin blockchain unless becomes wildly popular. However, there might be  a challenge in getting it to work on Devcoin chain, as devcoind is based on old version of bitcoind. (Right?)
• I'm going to request Devcoin bounties (shares) for this project, as it is an important open source project (IMHO)
• Developers can request to be paid in Devcoins (partially), in might be able to pay a bit more (e.g. out of Devcoin bounties), and BTC->DVC conversion can help Devcoin price a bit

Can anyone predict when round 28 will likely be paid out?
