Yep, 10K of DVC, sent to your Devtome addy. 

Wow, seriously?  My first tip.  That's cool.  I presume devcoins.  I have a bunch of addresses up but I'll check my devcoin wallet in a bit.  Thanks a lot, didn't expect it.  Glad to help, I had so many questions as a newbie and I still do and some sr members get angry with newbie questions and I don't understand that.  

The bigger the devcoin community grow the better so all newbies should be treated right regardless of their questions.  Not all people understand this stuff - it was all so foreign to me.  

Thanks again and good luck.

I fully agree with you! I love writing on Devtome, just need to get back to it when I finish moving. Thanks for the help mate!

~edit, sent you a tip too

@Shakezula,

Correct, it's 40 times coins per share which was nearly 150,000 per share.  The 45K blocks is just the way the coins show up.

Everything is on the up and up with devcoin.  My friends were telling me I was getting scammed and would never see a single coin but I took my chances and I got paid every coin I ever earned.  Devcoin and devtome are totally legit. 

Ahh gotcha, that makes sense. I noticed another thread that you got paid in the order of the blocks, so 45000 isn't a "share" per-say, rather its the block minted with your addy in it. So I should be expecting 40x14950 total coins, they just come in at 45K coins per payout...right?

I was thinking 40x45K didn't seem to jive with the 40x149.5K but now I see its a limit to the # of coins per block which you can get...anyone correct me if I'm wrong, if not, I'll keep enjoying the payouts

Done, lets get as many people on board as possible. This was my ticket:

"I strongly believe because we need inflationary/deflationary pressures in a monetary base that something like Devcoin will take off for many reasons. It is devalued because people have not realized the economic potential of the coin, and instead play speculative positions based on a deflationary system that perhaps has limited potential in the world for mass adoption.

Please add devcoin, I would like to use your exchange to offer many people to start using it. It will help greatly in our projects to direct customers to be able to convert fiat as well as adding credibility to the name itself.

Thanks,

Devcoin is based on old version of Bitcoin, Mark wants same patches to be applied to a new version, so that all mm-alt-coins can be upgraded. This way they'll benefit from development which was done on Bitcoin mainline. Particularly, that will speedup blockchain download, also will eventually reduce disk space requirements (in theory, at least).

DeVCoin is no different from the other merged mined coins in its need to be updated to latest bitcoin code, for example the new type of database instead of the old BDB database, and the recent attack fix and so on and so on.

ALL the merged mined coins ALL are based on bitcoin-plus-ability-to-be-secondary-chain.

ALL of them thus need a copy of bitcoin with ability to act as a secondary chain added.

Once that exists, all of them can do thier trivial or not so trivial little search-and-replace changes of name, port, reward, whatever, that makes them each different from the others.

As the constant spew of crapcoins shows, it is trivially easy to do the 'make a different name/port/reward/etc coin' part. The hard part is to have a latest bitcoin that can act as a secondary chain. Once that exists, all the trivial change the name change the port change the reward etc is trivial.

So we need that baseline, then ALL the merged mined coins can ALL update to ALL the latest fixes, most of them as easily as all the cut and paste crapcoins are made.

Cut-and-paste of some ancient out of date code merged coin can make a crap merged coin as easily as all the crap scrypt coins are cut and pasted.

There is no latest bitcoin based merged coin to cut and paste to make a new crap merged coin based on latest bitcoin code.

Mark, devcoin is already being merge-mined so which coin are you talking about or is the alt community looking at getting as many alt coins merge mined.  That would be awesome if possible.

Is it cheaper or easier of a coin is made to merge mine from the get-go?  Is it a lot of coding or something like a few hours?  Some day it's a big deal while other say its not that hard.  Difficult to tell who knows what.

Correct, the blocks are 50,000 each but the miners keep 5,000 which is why you're seeing 45K.

You basically get paid all month long until you're all paid off.  It's kinda nice, like a daily paycheck.

Does anybody know about how many shares are in round 25 yet?  Normally there's a tally done with 1,000 blocks to go but we're past that and I haven't seen anything yet.  TIA.

I actually meant round 24, so if i had 40 shares, would I be getting 40x149500? So far i've gotten ~33 payments at 45K each, just wondering how that worked?

Are your coding skills up to the task of applying the merged-mining patches to a recent copy of bitcoin?

Right now that is probably about the most important coding task for all the merged mined coins, not only DeVCoin, as once it is done all of them will be able to update from it.

i'll try again later, well, it works when i launch the old daemon version first, then i close it and am able to open the new client !
Still manageable ! It fucks up with the encryption i guess!

I wrote already to BTC-e support to add DVC (again). you all should write them too, let our voices be heard: http://hdbtce.kayako.com/
and also Mtgox:

 I don't think anyone knows how much each share for round 25 is worth yet.

Round 24 was 149,500 give or take a few hundred coins.  That was the lowest round so who knows where round 25 is now.  It could be 45,000 coins if we had tons of new writers come on board. 

It would be nice to have an idea how many shares we're looking at for this round.

Is each share worth 45K DVC or are these partials? I swear I read a share was 180K coins for this round, I searched back but can't see it. Can someone clarify? Are these quarter-shares?

Admins are chosen for their contributions but if you can code I'm sure you can be an asset as a developer.  My guess is start adding value by looking at the bounty list which shows what kind of work is needed the most and go from there.  That's what I've seen a lot of programmers do and they're then judged by the quality of their work. Good luck, and welcome aboard - this is a great alt coin.

how do I get on the developer list? Id liketo take more of a developer and or administrator role as I believe in the long term potential of dvc. I write software for a living.

As you said you got misattributed in what you say now misattributed again, I would bet that nothing funny is going on with the quote function, but that what is being quoted has unbalanced quote tags from someone's edit.

Wow!  I've been away from this thread for a few days.  What a nice surprise to come back to this.  Thanks!  

Off to publish my last article for this round!
