Topic: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated - page 422. (Read 1058927 times)

I want a forum which welcomes all cryptocurrencies, and is better in some way than existing forums, to encourage people to post there. There are already alt crypto forums, but because they're not better than what already exists, few people are posting there.

The pool bounty is for a pool which would pay out more devcoins than a merged mining pool because it would convert bitcoins to devcoins, and sends them to someone. Since it would sell bitcoins and buy devcoins, it would raise the price of devcoins in proportion to the gross take and in proportion to the how much people who receive devcoins hold them. For example, if the pool was as big as the original Mainframe Mining Cooperative:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pool-closed-mainframe-mining-cooperative-24650

which at it's peak gave about 10 btc/month to developers, out of a total of then 200,000 btc/month generation, which today after block halving would be 5 btc/month. Assuming people receiving devcoins hold half, that would be a forced buying of 2.5 btc worth of devcoins per month.

But we have forums (devcointalk.org) and there are already MM pools (bitparking and a couple others)... I'm not following how increasing either of those will help considering they're already here, they just aren't being utilized as much as they should.

Yup. For example the pool bounty used to be 16 shares, after the last doubling it became 32. With a redoubling, it would go to 64.

All of these things help indirectly. The forum would make it easier to communicate and organize projects, the Open Transactions Client would make it easier to trade cryptocurrencies and stocks, the pool would convert bitcoins to devcoins, and Emfox's link faucet upgrade would increase the popularity of devtome.

I agree that we should also have bounties for selling stuff in devcoins. For the marketplace, gift cards would be a good thing to sell, especially the Amazon gift card:
http://www.btc4amazon.com/
http://www.itradebtc.com/

because it gives a way to buy a huge selection of products. Devcoin businesses can buy gift cards with bitcoins, and send them by email to customers, therefore avoiding fiat and shipping. Is anyone selling gift cards for devcoins already?

What does "redoubling the bounties" mean? Do you mean multiplying them by 2?

I think what we need more than any of those is some sort of marketplace... none of the things in the bounty area help give the currency some value, as they all still leave it with one use: trading in to BTC.

I suggest redoubling the bounties which have not been awarded even in part. This would redouble the bounties for the forum, the Open Transactions Client (for Grandmas), the pool:
www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now

and Emfox's link faucet upgrade. Any objections?

it's all in good fun and plus we need to get bitcoin back in good standing give a little slack ! (=

I wondered how long it would take for the web-based-exchanges' prices to start trickling through to http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/plotdvc.html

That upward jag today in "prices denominated in DeVCoins" is the price of DeVCoins themselves finally starting to fall. Maybe some of those dirt cheap DeVCoins picked up in bulk have started to get sold off at the far higher prices these plots had been showing.

(Take a look at the actual prices the plots are plotting... TL;DR DeVCoins were worth triple or quadruple or more of the Vircurex price and are still worth multiple times the Vircurex price...)

-MarkM-

That'd be nice... around 20 million more were dumped today. The price had almost bounced back to normal yesterday after the massive 50+ mil in dumps. I'm hoping it'll bounce back after this one too...

Just as a note, yes I'm still involved, yes I will edit my easter eggs on devtome -- and go devcoin! Please stop selling so much at once, despite being in hospital, I have been watching the market.

I'd like to toss out a thank-you to whoever is crashing DVC's prices. That's nice -- especially the person who sold out 20+ mil at once to the buy wall...

I really hope the prices start bouncing back. They're already down to below 70 SAT...

www.devtome.com - links on the left to sub pages

Is there a directory where I can see the published works 

How do some people get 80k words?  O.o

Thanks, unthinkingbit.

Quick question which others are wondering.  Normally there's a 1,000 block heads up before the round is officially over.  This round there was no heads up or is this that heads up and we now have another 1,000 blocks to write or contribute for round 25?  Thanks.

I sent 23 dvc coins to the new writers below to confirm the devcoin address:

Eroxors
Luckybit
Nsddev
Pb321go
Redmist

For those on the list, please check that you received the coins, the receiver files will be generated in a day.

Edit: The count for Pb321go was redone because his article Miss - A Radio Play was not seen by devtome.py, which has been fixed. Also Penguinwriter was not verified at the time, through no fault of his own. Penguinwriter actually wrote 80,000 words, but there was not enough time for an article admin to check his article so I limited the payout to 60 shares in this round. If an article admin approves it then he'll get the remainder of the payment in round 26. These changes added a total of 68 shares.

Not bad, better than last round.

Anybody know if writing for round 25 is now closed?  Not sure if that 1,000 block count was never given or not.  Cause now we're above the 97,300 deadline. I wanted to squeeze out one more article.
