I agree the above post is very informative.  One question:  How can I link directly to my forum signature?

Edit:  I included the link to my forum profile.  Did I do the right thing?

Edit:  Another question:  I thought links could be to pages which link to any article, or does it have to be the specific "Earn Devcoins by writing" page?

To anyone trying to get started on Devtome, this is the perfect post.

I am knotwork (or sometimes knotwork_), on Freenode IRC.

you're on IRC right on the tbx and dvc channels? i have an idea just haven't had a chance to try it out. ill pm you later with it

My pool that I still use privately used to give people 100% of the bitcoins, and convert all the other coins into DeVCoins to pay out.

But it just wasn't worth all the work of adding it all up and working out what it was all worth when only one user other than me actually used it.

If there was code for doing all that computation and there was more than one person who was going to use it, it might be worthwhile, but even if doing the math each month to work out how much I owed that one other guy only took an hour, it was an hour not worth spending, basically a total waste of time.

Even just a script that looks up how much bitcoin p2pool has paid each person since last the script was run would have helped a lot since then I could have paid everyone (aka that one guy) based on how many bitcoins p2pool had paid out. But I don't even know whether p2pool even keeps all the data such a script would need. (Historic list of all payouts to each miner.)

I have a p2pool mining bitcoins, devcoins, groupcoins, coiledcoins, geistgeld, namecoin, ixcoin and i0coin, all that is missing is a tool for paying out devcoins to miners based on how much bitcoin they mined there. I even have scripts posting the relative values of the coins for me to an include-file for shell-scripts that is put online as http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/latestrates.inc

But so far no luck eliciting such a tool (a divvy up the take tool) using bounties.

the plan is 100% devcoin, with merged mining on several sha coins. but there is a little twist to it which i will describe later when i get it all up and running

This is nice.  After this an quarter-devcoin pool or 10%-devcoin pool might work  (25% or 10% of earnings converted to devcoin).  I guess you might be able to receive the first part of the bounty, but as I am not an admin, you should most likely ask Unthinkingbit about that.

true, me and unthinkingbit are still discussing it so ill release more info soon in another post

Perhaps, but there was no indication of that in the first post,  nor does this post really flush it out enough to give a reason to use it.

Ok all done, thanks.

because im working on something different perhaps? such as merged mined coins auto converted to DVC? but no btc involved

Why would anyone ever mine at a dvc only pool and not something like  bitparking or FuzzyPool

Well if you first posted yesterday you would have already missed round 27.  Did you just recently register on devtome?  I've only been here for 1 round but before I was put on the receiver list  or whatnot I had to have my submitted articles OKed by an admin.

DVC is merge-mined (you won't find many pure-DVC pools...).

Go check out Bitparking. They merge-mine many coins.

who can't give me a good dvc pool link address

Probably the best guy to get for the job would be the one who actually came up with the new code aka created the new I0Coin.

Last I heard he was working on bringing GeistGeld up to date, since XGG needs it even more than I0Coin did, as in, it is even more of a RAM-pig than I0Coin was.

But maybe we can pay him to do DeVCoin next. Although maybe doing the (merged mined) coins in order of how fast their blocks are makes sense since the faster their block timing the faster they will gobble up everyone's RAM.

Maybe even the guy deserves to be on the tenured developers list, since he basically embarked on all this just to do it, that is, he seems to be a person who just goes ahead and does useful free open source development just for fun or just for the sake of doing it, and he seems to do good work.

Lol... Copy/paste is my specialty!    I'd suggest a bounty for the entire dev team involved in this, to spur interest.  What do you think?

Current source here, right? https://github.com/knotwork/old-devcoin-qt
How long since an update?

No, you do the full modifying of every little detail, just like we did originally when we based DeVCoin on some version of Bitcoin. Its not some copy/paste crapcoin, it has lots of little things that all had to be done, and they all need doing over again each time a new version is created based on some other coin's code.

DId you set up your user page?

Is that possible?  I don't know much but can't we just copy the i0coin code, add receiver.h, change vital stats (block reward, client name, icon, etc.) and be fine?
