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.

So what are we doing to mark Devcoin's two year anniversary on August 5th?
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!
Code:
$number = rand(0, 1000000);
$hash = hash('sha256', '$number');
echo $hash;
?>

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...
smeagol, if you ever need help on formatting, just PM me. I looked at two of the articles and they look great. I think ranlo hooked you up then.
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! 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!

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.)

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?

Am I wrong? Is there anything it can be done to reduce this effect? Is it just pile them up without selling or using them a real solution? If we sell them, they lose value, if we do not use them they are not going to increase in value. Are we stuck?
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.
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.

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
http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/digitalisassets.html
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...

most of us already know it was him but his pump created a massivr bull chart imo.
I guess I'm the only innocent around here then. I expect it's because I'm a girl.
Everyone knows there are no girls online... unless you mean like GIRL = Guy In Real Life, o.O

Because those who've earned them them are selling at lower and lower prices - implying that many value their efforts and those of others at a (far) lower level than that initially paid, or where they perceived that payment level to be. It's probably better this happens asap as gives a indicative clearing level of the value of e.g. writings by writers, and therefore I hope a means of re-assessing sustainable payments and shares.
That's the classic theory - in practice I think people are operating on fear and panic. They fear they'll get nothing if they wait to sell, so they sell. I've held onto all mine and sometimes I wonder if I'm a mug. Then I console myself with the thought that when fear and capitulation are greatest, that's when the market turns...
Well we can always experiment with the price. How about in the next writing round, the pay is half a share per 1000 words. We can then assess whether there is the same dumping. If dumping stops and the price rises, we can declare a success and keep it at half a share per thousand words. I'm all for it. Half a share at 148 satoshis per devcoin is worth much more than a full share at 47 satoshis per devcoin.
What do we need to do to make this happen?
I don't want to call out anyone publicly but what I will say is that the tanking price occurred after a single specific event: someone dumped over 20 million coins on the market on their own, tackling the big buy walls that were already up. This is what caused the downward spiral and the "panic selling" we are seeing, and is what has killed the price for the time being. It wasn't a large group of people, it was a single one.
Now, with that said, I think the current reward system is good. People just need to start paying more attention to what they're doing before they make drastic decisions.
Ok I think I've solved the mystery - the price in May and teh subsequent dump was down to a character called Fontas - see the following:

Four days have passed so the troll blocking bounty is official:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2777759
When I told friends about a few things that people could buy with bitcoins, the only one that was wanted was the Amazon gift card. A business could buy Amazon gift cards directly or with bitcoins:
http://www.itradebtc.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=59
and sell them for devcoins. I suggest a 12 share award for the first business to sell a gift card in devcoins, 9 for the second, 6 for the third, and 3 for the last. I also suggest a 2 share award for the first person who writes about a post at least 50 words long about buying the gift card from each business, and a one share award for the second person. Any objections?
After at least one devcoin business sells an Amazon gift card, as per Ranlo's suggestion we'll make a bounty thread for people to post what they want to buy in devcoins.
Edit: The first Amazon gift card business has been made:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3091835
so the next award is 9 shares.
