So who is creating the wall on vircurex DVC/BTC lately? Now 14+ BTC sitting at 74 satoshi. Is it a supporter, or someone trying to play?
Unthinkingbit confirmed for me that it is every 4k blocks starting with what we are used to for R24 (when I started), so payout is every 4k blocks from 96k (100, 104, 108, 112...) and the stopping point is every 4k blocks as well (93.3k, 97.3, 101.3, 105.3...).
Ok cheers 
The client I'm currently using for DVC is the 0.3.24-beta version. I'm thinking I'd like to change to the client found here (https://www.box.com/s/crfmuuhe0f32w5g4nt4i) but haven't downloaded it yet. If I download the next client and try it out, will the old one still run just fine? Can I have two DVC clients running on the same computer?
It should. This will probably change in a future build, but for now they are interoperable as long as you do not encrypt the wallet file.
I am curious. It seems you joined the forum a month and a half after the new version came out. Yet you still choose to download the older version. I have gotten a few support pms and every single time it has turned out they downloaded the old version, and an update fixes their issues. Why did you choose the old version still?
The client on the official site, or thread or whatever was the wrong version. I joined up long after the new version was released as well but up until a couple weeks ago I had no idea there even was a new version -- I was still using the one with the Bitcoin logo as that is the one that was listed.
Yeah, what he said ^^^ What I remember is that there was a choice of three places to download a client from and I didn't see any indication of one being better than another, so I just made a choice and that's what I got. It works OK for now, but I bet the newer one is better.
A question on backing up the dat file. Do I make backups regularly, like once a week? Or, is the dat file going to be the same as time goes on because after all the client is really a reader of information stored somewhere else (blockchain)?
If/when I get around to downloading the new client, can I use the same dat file so that I can keep my original addresses? If so, how would I do that?
New client pulls the wallet file from the same location. Ex. when I did the "upgrade" I simply downloaded the new client. Since it's still a Devcoin client it is still looking for the wallet in /roaming/devcoin/
And you have to back up the wallet every 100 addresses, whether that's because you created them or because you sent funds (as that creates an address as well). I personally just use an automatic backup program to keep up with the file and when it changes, it automatically backs it up. Lot easier than having to remember to deal with it, especially when you run 8-9 different wallets, lol.

Anybody seen finshaggy? He's dissapeared.
Ever since those 3 trolls attacked him like 3 weeks ago he's vanished. He used to post regularly and now all of a sudden: nothing. I hope he's ok.

Honestly, he damages this project more than he helps it. I found out soon after I joined that he was either trying to destroy it or he has no idea what he's doing and is accidentally causing damage. But then again, based on his entire "Bitcoin city" thing, he's doing the same thing to his own project. Kind of sad, really. I was surprised to see that somehow he became an Admin here...

A new client for Mac would be great, kind of hard to manage it right now (bugs with copy /paste) due to the fact that it launches in the terminal (command line mac app).
All right, try it again with a download from https://www.box.com/s/ntna8dibxek351s42fxu
As this now no longer includes the daemon version, those that want the osx version of that can get it from: https://www.box.com/s/5f21cf8812nhsonpj8jm

Btw second question, when does round 25 ends? since their was delay should we expect delay in the end of the round?
The Rounds end times and Payment start times (by block number) are at http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_stats This page has numbers up to and including Round 30.
Doesn't really matter, but I'm asked about this a lot and would be good to clarify as I've been saying 97k + 4,000,... and nobody here seemed to think or claim otherwise. Cheers

block 97k as far as I know - the earlier delay was to accommodate online wallet issues in round 23 and to even out that one with 24, rather than keep rolling over the extra blocks I think (but could be wrong) It's fine as long as you don't run them at the same time (well, some say not to run at the same time, others say it's fine... but I'd be safe).
You don't need to export your key though. Go to c:/users/[username]/appdata/roaming/devcoin/wallet.dat and just back up that file.

Thank you!
File is now backed up. I feel better already
And I will take your advice and have the old client closed before messing with the new one.

The reason I want to possibly switch down the road is that this beta version doesn't seem to have any way for me to back it up or access the private key or anything that would really help in the event my hard drive crashes. So I want to play around with the next one on the same computer and see if it's a better client. Will it be OK to do that?

DVC is dying day by day 
thats sad, i had much hope in this coin. Why is dying?
thats sad, i had much hope in this coin. Why is dying?Pretty sure it isn't really dying.

thats sad, i had much hope in this coin. Why is dying? You can shut off your laptop while it's generating shares. I only turn mine on and lower the firewall once per week to see my coins accumulating. It's safe, your coins just float around looking for your address and once you connect to the node in about 3 minutes all your coins for all those past days will pop up all matured and everything.
Thanks! Good to know. I will definitely turn on my laptop more than once a week, though, as I use it for many things besides watching my Devs accumulate--writing Devtome content, for example
