Ok, thank you for the clarification.  Now onto more writing! 

Small articles are not an issue, so long as they are not stolen material and are not gibberish. The problem with the one linked above is that it is not his material to be taking credit for, yet he is trying to earn money off it.

Edit: just noticed the first question as well. No, you can't take their material, edit it and claim it as collated. Collated is for when you write an article based on another one, with quotes and such (SPORADICALLY). Basically it's the same rule as plagiarism. If it's plagiarism, it's wrong.

If I combined all of his small ebook articles into a larger one and edited it, would that qualify as Collated?
By the way, I've been making small (< 1000 words) articles, is that OK?

Thank you!

By the way, what do you think of this banner?

Sending you a pm right now!

Ok I am starting to get rather pissed off here and usually I don't get angry easily but more and more devtome seems to be paying out all the dvc to writers and the more i look the more there is not original content on there but it is being claimed as.

Here is a clear cut example...

User makalu has posted on his userpage : http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=wiki:user:makalu
Original articles on a number of pages.

The one I was particularly interested in was of course the listing about ASCMDVCPT of which I help do the admin work for and have direct involement in... yet I see that the article http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=ascmdvcpt is just a copy paste of the listing I helped write that is on cryptostocks https://cryptostocks.com/securities/39

hey it only small articles i know but nothing has been added in terms of better content, and the work is NOT original

Either the admins have missed this or they are not doing their job properly... or the users are unaware of the difference between original content and collated content and NOT ALLOWED copy paste content. Or a combination of it all...

Admins responsible for checking content please respond to this post before Unthinkingbit does as that will just show to me that you are not doing the job required of you.  I have PM'd the 3 admins so they know about this post.

Does anyone know how to create a coin flip site?  I want to make a devcoin flip site where if you lose, the profits are donated to charity, and if you win, you win!  I'm thinking about a 1% charity edge.

Here's what I have for the provably fair part.
I just started learning php, don't judge! 

I am so glad you mentioned this!

I've been working on a website about Bitcoins and Devcoins (for now, could expand into other currencies later).  It's called Creative Currencies and the url is http://creativecurrencies.cu.cc  I just set up my email list and was thinking of some ways to promote it and entice people to subscribe.  I think I might just hold some sort of DVC giveaway, choose one or two lucky subscribers, in honor of the anniversary.

That will depend on if I get it together in time...

His formatting was already spot-on. I just went through and verified with him that everything was on the up-and-up, . FWIW, he has great topics as well!

thanks ranlo, you 'da bomb!! 

I looked at the bounty page here http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now and it says that there is a bounty for a logo/symbol and a button (3/5 and 1/5 of a share respectively).
How does this look? (it's a PNG, I tried to make it a vector but gradients don't work too well.)

Sent you a pm!

This is off topic but I'm a new devtome writer and I was just wondering if somebody could look over some of my articles and see if they are "devtome-worthy".  I looked at some of the syntax pages and followed normal wikipedia syntax but I'm just trying to make sure!

Thank you for the help!

So what are we doing to mark Devcoin's two year anniversary on August 5th?

I vote we all flock to the bitcoin subreddit on the day and tip random people 10 cents worth (about 1667 devcoins at the moment) - there is an altcoin tipbot that is devcoin enabled - see http://www.reddit.com/r/ALTcointip/comments/1esl7u/altcointip_bot_now_live/

has anyone got any other ideas?

Right and it is priced accordingly, but market is always forward looking so when it is the right time to buy it, you won't be getting it at these prices for sure. It all boils down to how much you believe in dvc and the fundamentals of it. If you believe it has a future then investing when it is left for dead is the best thing to do.

Fundamentally I believe inflation is necessary to compete with deflation to find a harmonious balance to avoid prices from rising/falling too fast. As new solutions are made to use dvc the more bright it should shine as a proper alternative to usdx. People saying you can just split btc as many times as you need don't understand the economics of the forces creating stable prices. By stable I mean people are willingly exchanging goods with one another with no incentive to hold underlying monetary mechanism just because it will be worth more in the future (deflationary), or exchanging now because it may be worth less tomorrow (inflationary).

Also remember that the open source community is a huge market, and if and when they start using dvc to fund projects that would bring an unprecedented amount of growth of new ideas and innovation as a result would boost growth and shine light on the entire crypto community.


Thats my 2 cents anyway.

Anything with the word bay at the end will get you a cease and desist from ebay. Just a heads up.

The solution is to create more uses for DVC. Right now it has to compete with dozens of cryptocurrencies and offers no advantages whatsoever, so it is silly for investors to buy it.

not sure who runs this http://dvcticker.appspot.com/ but looks like the tickers need to be updated with the new vircurex API, can this be prompted to the developers please

Maybe once an "Open Transactions client for grandmas" is available more people will use it to get direct access to the assets listed at

It is a pity in a way that no "brokers" showed up on the forums or web, though I suppose the players whose guildmasters or clanmasters or whatever provided some kind of provision of such things might be happy not to have been pushed aside by hordes of bitcoiners during the early years...
