Hello, Devcoiners!

I am the founder of the Parabola Project!  We are aiming to create an innovative new coin with multiple services on launch, such as stores, faucets, exchanges, and more!  To support that, we are creating a 5% dev fund, in which every 94th block has six times the coins, but 5/6 of those coins go to the dev wallet.  I have noticed that devcoin has the same thing, though with a 90% dev fund.  I am interested in the mechanism of that fund and how we can implement it into parabolas!

Thanks

I am still seeking assistance!  Smiley

I don't understand the problem. The source code explicitly explicates the mechanism by which the fund is funded.

So maybe you want somehow an explication of how it happens to be the case that very often when Unthinkingbit proposes an expenditure from the fund be scheduled he doesn't get shot down?

Or maybe you want an explication of how it happens to be the case that some addresses get added into the list of recipient addresses and some do not?

Or maybe an explication of how it happens that some get removed from the list?

Or what?

NOTE: Please be so kind as to continue this line of query in the thread you linked above, or create a thread specifically about "Who gets to be on DeVCoin's disbursements lists, what for, for how long" type of topic.

How do receiver files work? is my base question.

Have you read the devtome wiki?  There is a section on how the receiver files work

2 shares towards founding (or add to if one already exists) a bounty for completion of the Devcoin animation/video.
...

I agree with weisoq that an animation or video for devcoin, like the bitcoin video, would be a good publicity medium.  I would be willing to write a couple thousand words to contribute to the bounty as well, if needed  Smiley.

Review of ‘Amazon gift cards for Devcoins’:
http://dvc4giftcards.us/home.html

Bought a $1 gift card with DVC. Very quick and straightforward, with a choice of card denominations. Great to see another enterprise utilising Devcoin as a means of payment. Process was as simple as selecting value required, entering name and email address (and whether gift card code is required via email or bitcointalk pm under ‘note to seller’) then transferring the sum of DVC to the address provided and waiting for confirmations to complete (6 confirmations).

A preliminary email was also received prior to sending DVC, which adds a sense of certainty about the process before finally committing.  I only have positive things to say about the portal and the process. Good work.

For his successful Amazon Gift Card Business, Smeagol gets 12 shares, plus another 3 for a non mining business.

For his post, Weisoq gets 2 shares. All of these bounties are in round 27:
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/bounty_27.csv

To give more incentive for people to try out the business, I was going to sweeten the bounty for only the first post with two million devcoins. So I sent those to Weisoq. After I sent the devcoins to Weisoq, I realized that I sent roughly half as many as the bounty for actually making the business, which is much harder, so also I sent two million to Smeagol to balance everything.

Thank you, I got the devcoins!   Smiley

They're just for testing, they don't affect earnings in any way. I don't know why I uploaded them in the past, or why they dropped out, but since they're unnecessary I won't put them back up.

Thanks but could you put my 2 shares towards founding (or add to if one already exists) a bounty for completion of the Devcoin animation/video. There was an effort already underway - by marticps - which was looking pretty good so far but I don't know how it's left. When the video is done I will also pay 1 million dvc myself to the animator, who can decide for themselves if they want to split that with anyone else involved.

(Appreciate I could just do this myself, but there’s a risk I’ll just forget or be busy with other things so would like it to be administered like other bounties if possible – quite happy to also back up the incentive by sending you back one million dvc to hold in escrow).

60 million DVC bought up today, price down to 34 sat. I have the feeling we're going to see a pump soon...

looked to me like 60 million was dumped on about the 1st Sept driving price down to below 0.000000020 or am i wrong?

Whoot!  Another update!

Both $1 and $10 are on sale, selling with NO fees!  Just hop on over to http://dvc4giftcards.us/store.html, buy a gift card and write your 50 word review!
The $1 gift card is only about 27,000 DVC.  The share award last round was 210,000 DVC, and you must be thinking of a good way to spend it!

"Two shares for the first person who writes about a post at least 50 words long about buying the gift card from (the amazon gift card) business, and a one share award for the second person."

So it includes having a security associated with it?

Any devcoin business, with or without a security.

You can already trade devcoin denominated stocks on vircurex, what more is required?

I think you meant to say Cryptostocks, and you are right.

Indeed I meant Cryptostocks.

I just really prefer the BTCT.co setup.  It's cleaner, has far fewer glitches, keeps better records, has a nicer layout...

Bounties are a blunt tool, only good for getting objective, easy to define requirements. Quality is subjective so bounties aren't suited for that.

How/where on Vircurex?

I have Vircurex open all the time, usually on the DVC/BTC page, but looking at all the links I can click from there I do not see anything about shares?

There are of course some dDVC-denominated assets on the Digitalis Open Transactions server, which seem to have been doing okay:

I'm sure UnthinkingBit meant Cryptostocks, which is run by the same group that runs Vircurex.  Thanks for the heads up about other DVC-denominated assets.  I will definitely check them out.  So far the only ones I've known about are the ones on Cryptostocks.

If this idea takes off and a bunch of people do this, then it would also be worth someone setting up a DVC trading platform that is just like BTCT.co (maybe the creators would share their script?).

Im still confused about devtome. (pardon my ignorance) but, last round started paying out at block 104000. I recieved 2 payments since then which totaled around 90000. Is this all I will be recieving for round 26? I wrote a nice bit, and if this is all I recieve, it doesnt even equal 1 share (Once again Pardon my ignorance). So I am confused. Can someone spread a bit of light on it for me?

Edit: also, I was looking at the round 26 word count CSV sheet. It says I have 5-  Word Count. What does that mean?  Huh  Huh

Shares are generated in 45K DVC chunks (one block of DVC= 50K coins - 5K for the miners = 45K for you). You'll get shares according to your addy placement in the receivers file. Every block that's created throughout round 26 will go to the addies in that list in order. You may get your full shares in just a few blocks or it could take all month to get all of them.

The 5 - Word count bit is how many shares you earned and what for. You earned 5 shares (which I believe are 5x45K chunks this round) so you'll get 25 payments of 45K DVC each as the month progresses.

Ahh nice. Thank you for laying it out in easy terms lol. Smiley
