Only in coins whose code is recent enough to include the raw transactions interface I think, that lets you make arbitrary raw transactions.

You still would have to manually invent the transaction though or have some external tool put it together for you I think.

Re http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=another_thing_i_dont_understand

It is likely the number of outputs (of previous transactions) needed to be combined to make the complicated number that pushes it over a 1k-bytes transaction-size itself that does it.

Places sending tiny amounts might be sending many people a tiny amount all in one huge transaction to minimise the amount of transaction fee per recipient by averaging the fee over the many recipients they pay with one single multi-output transaction.

Is there a way to send a single multi output transaction using a regular wallet?

I am still not showing up on the receiver files!

Edit: As the round has just ended, will I not receive anything this month since I was not on the file?  Or will it be able to be edited.

Thank you for reviewing this!  Smiley

The round ends at 105,300 so as of now there are still 73 blocks remaining.  But with the way the payout schedule works, it allows time to fix errors and so forth, so if something is not working right, there's definitely the opportunity to get that fixed before it's time to receive the generated shares.  You just want to stay on top of it.

Today I actually have time to devote to writing, so like a lot of Devtome writers I'm trying to squeeze in a few more shares before the round closes.  As I'm doing this, I came up with an idea that I thought was worth sharing.  What do you all think?

http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=the_closing_of_the_round_intensity

I would be interested in that!

That could explain why the number of shares is so low even though this round is about to end.  Devtome people, please consider this a bug report Smiley

I ran it for you just now and the weighted word count is 102,117 words, roughly 15,000 extra words. The earnings at Emfox's site are redone every day, so it should eventually see them. I don't know what that will be after the earnings multiplier, but for you it should be more than 15 shares.

I'm still seeing the same 11 shares on my word count, though I'm noticing that the files are updating as the overall numbers are changing.  I suppose it's possible my own counts are off, but I am pretty sure that I added at least one or two shares' worth after I saw 11 by my ID.  I added more articles today, so I would definitely expect my word count to update soon.  For this round I will go back over everything I've published and manually add up the number of words myself, then let you know what I think my share count (based on Devtome contributions, not any other sources) should be once the round formally closes.  Should I PM you with that info or post it in this thread?  I'm just wondering if there's some sort of bug with the way the script is reading my invoice?

EDIT:  Another odd thing I'm noticing is that it seems to be taking way longer than ten minutes per block.  Has the mining difficulty dramatically increased in the last 36 hours?

Nice post, I have a suggestion for everyone.

Order a textbook or 2 (or a companion book) about a subject you like. This way you have something to reference when you write, which takes out the element of writers block.

If you are in college, lucky you, you probably already have a few.

I have a few textbooks in the mail (including one with extensive details about Rome and Carthage during the Punic wars), and I'm pretty positive that next round I will be writing over 80,000 words, which means I will have some roll over, and it will pay out next time and the time after that etc etc.

And that's probably the best way to do it, so you just always have a good amount coming in.

In case some of our authors don't follow the Project Development part of these forums, I thought I'd bring this to their attention:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/looking-for-writers-290503

-MarkM-


Yeah, I saw that elsewhere too. The guy is offering $3 or so for 600+ words and light research. That's so ridiculously low I wouldn't even consider it.

That thought crossed my mind too, actually.  I probably would consider it if it weren't for the fact that I can earn a whole lot more writing *whatever I want* for the Devtome.  Among other things, the Devtome could turn out to be a nice pricing standard for writers' compensation Smiley

EDIT:  Regardless of the pay it could be a good opportunity for a writer to gain more exposure and that's the part I find appealing.  Honestly, the main reason I am very hesitant to jump on this now is because I don't believe I have the time to read a lot of posts on the forum and then write about them at this time in my life.  Writing for the Devtome is actually a really good fit for me right now Smiley

Would anyone like to join in the creation of a history book???

I am covering BC history, and will cover some of the crusades. But if anyone wants to do Pre-History, or AD history... It's WIDE open, and I plan on publishing, so you would get your name on the front for free, plus whatever portion of the book you write as payment. I do want final edit though, because I want this book to be something that interests kids. I want it to be a history book that kids ASK for, so I don't want someone just filling pages with boring facts, just gloss over the boring stuff and maybe put an interesting picture of it. They can get boring from the teachers in school.

So this round might pay out bigger than my first ever round? I think the word could was 501,000 for the round I started on... If it stops around 200,000 the shares will be 2x as big as last time I wrote...

Oh I'm pretty sure round 27 will be closer to 800 than 500 and no way will it be as low as 200.  But others can probably confirm since I haven't really kept up.

Good to see you again shaggy.  You should check out Cryptsy chat, trading currencies is a pretty decent way to make enough coin to accumulate the coins you like to hold longer term.  That's what I'm trying to do.

I'm just going to use my DVC on BTC for now, use any extra to rebuy DVC to help the market. But use the BTC to buy books, so I can have more research for my own book.

To everyone,

I'm going to get the popularity for the entire round, not just the last four days, to stop people from gaming the system by buying advertising for just the last days. This means that new writers will get a lower earnings multiplier if they started writing at the end of the round.

To Finshaggy,

I've posted 10,000 words, and I'm not even on here.

You're not there because your Tip address is different from the earnings address you gave me. This is a safety in case a scammer edits another person's user page. Please change your Tip address to the address you gave me at:
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/devtome_26.csv

I am still not showing up on the file. :O  Did it get redone?
