The voting situation is irrelevant as to how we vote. The majority of people aren't going to vote just because people don't like to vote. Look at voting in presidential elections or other areas. No matter how you do it, you're still only going to get a small group of people, and the results will always be biased. There's no way around that.

This voting is allowing you to say, for example, "I like this one and this one equally. I think this one's alright, but I like the other two more. This other one I don't like at all." An example there would be 99, 99, 90, 0. They are giving us more options, and more options should never be taken as being a bad thing.

I just added it as 'The Unofficial Devcoin Forums' (Not sure if it's official, or not.). Would you like 'Devcoin Talk' instead?

Ok, the thread I get but if people vote for differing amounts that creates a lopsided effect.  For example, 10% of people here will be more active or have more time so they'll vote for many more deigns.  So those X number of designs are getting free votes.  

The reason is that everyone voting has a feeling or a vote regarding all the designs but they're just not expressing them for whatever reason.

We need uniformity.

So everyone who votes, everyone, should have to take the time to choose your top 3 favorite and then assign those top 3 whatever numbers you want.  That way it will be an even and uniform voting protocol and the best or most liked design will win rather than the design which happened to be liked by the busiest or more free Time having individuals.

In the post you quoted, he gave the link to where you vote at...

And he said any one you don't vote for gets a score of zero, meaning vote for all if you want. If you choose not to, the ones you don't vote for get a 0.

I don't get what was confusing, :p.

There's no place to vote on that devtome page aegis linked to on the devcoin thread you just linked to, and I did log in and I did get paid shares the last 2 rounds.

So you want us to look at all those designs and then vote on a thread here (the aegis thread you linked to)?  

So how many designs can we vote for, this is not clear to me?  It looks like you're saying vote on your top 3 favorites but that's not clear and some people are only voting for one design while one guy voted for 2 designs.  

It's gonna be out of whack if we don't use the same standard for everyone.

Please clarify.  Thanks.

Everywhere, and thanks for voting!

Done! Is the logo going to be used in the DVC client as well, or just on the site?

Everyone who has received devcoins in this round or the previous, please vote for your favorite logos in the vote thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/devcoin-logo-vote-moderated-248199

Please vote on a scale of 0 to 99, for your favorite logos from the gallery. Whatever you do not vote for will be considered a zero. Voters will automatically be recused from voting on their own logo. Please use a format like:

Alice: 74
Bob: 98
Carol: 62

The votes will be tabulated on Satuday, July 6. The winner will get 8 shares, second place will get 4 shares, third place 2 shares, and 1 for fourth.

When you are at the level that lists all the threads, look for a link to 'new topic'. 


You are misunderstanding the system.  The 70 is not your number of posts, but a level that is based on a combination of post count and posting activities sliced into two week periods. This was done, just so your idea of finding a thread to make mindless posts into would not help boost your rank more quickly.

Now something on topic:

Anybody hear of Martin Armstrong?

The guy is a super brilliant economist.  As a wannabe economist I thought I knew them all.  I have no idea how I missed this guy.  This guy has one of the most amazing minds I've ever seen.  

At any rate, he thinks alternative currencies are gonna go gaga cause the "state" started Bitcoin and anything the govt wants is nowadays always funded by big "special-interest" money - the biggest of which are banks and that means strap on your seat-belts cause if he's right (and I've written the same eerily, exact stuff for the past 10 weeks) then all alt coins will take off as demand will greatly outstrip supply for the short run.

The argument outlined by Armstrong and myself is that a digital currency in the hands of banks and the govt would give them absolute control on every level and lead to the biggest totalitarian state the world has ever seen.  The more reason one needs to make money on this next wave if it comes, as it's gonna be "Gatica" after that.

The coming alt coin mania should make the dot com bubble look like the housing bubble of the 70's.  Of course everyone knows housing went up like 1.2% during that entire decade.  Lol.

But it's gonna be fast and incredibly furious, lasting at most 2-3 years before the govt takes full control and kills all but one crypto-coin.  Anybody who gets in early, like right now and holds on and doesn't sell at the first spike can become a millionaire.  Can devcoin be that one coin?  Well, from a social, political and economics point of view, devcoin is the perfect sell and fit, and the perfect coin from the view of any or most governments.  So like I've said, devcoin is a long term hold, 24-36 months.

Mine 'em, buy 'em, and shelf 'em!

Take care and good luck guys!

Guys, how do I start my own thread?  I don't want to post off topic stuff on here but I also can't find a thread for what I wanna post but I can't seem to be able to start my own thread.

So how do I start my own thread?  And please don't tell me I don't have enough coins under my name cause I had a Sr level account with nearly 400 posts but now with the new rules I got knocked Down to a lower level and everytime I post it still says 70 posts.  I really don't like this new system.  Looks like I have to find a Mickey thread and just troll it out with mindless 3 word posts.  

I understand the need to keep trolls out but I should be getting credit for my few daily posts and I've been stuck at 70 posts (exactly) for 4 days now and I've been posting a few posts everyday.  I think this new system needs some tweaking.  

Thanks in advance!

This would be a good idea. For those of us in charge of taking care of checking out articles, we could be put in to a special group where if people try to delete an article or wipe it, it would go in to a queue for us to look into and either accept or deny the changes. I think that would be a perfect solution.

This is what I was talking about weeks ago when I said the current system had no security in place and just one hater or someone from a competing coin could wreak havoc the day before a payout.  It would be impossible to restore articles to their normal place of dozens of people lose their work or have it altered.

A full delete should never be allowed without a higher level access and then have an auto-log which tracks all deletes.  I keep all my work backed on my laptop but many might not.  And it would still be a hassle just to replace that much work.  It's only a matter of time.

Edit:  thanks weisoq, its nice to know nothing can be really deleted.

Can I get http://devcointalk.org/ added to the OP on this thread as a forum for devcoin ?? had a nice flourish of new users, and still more trickling in, the site's got a number of nice little features setup like a news ticker....
1DVC = 1BTC = 1BTC =

also members can request to be in the Devtome writers and admin group on the forum... just a nice place to hang out for gentle devcoin devtome related chat

and I trying to do something clever with posts from this main thread to be cross posted on there.... any stuff to make it a one stop shop to daily check up on various devcoin related stuff... etc so any suggestions please say.... something like showing latests posts on devtome.. and other network and devtome stats

but anyway the site was announced a little while back but never promoted or advertised so this is me pushing it.

Many thanks

Wow, that is awesome news. Thanks for that. I wasn't sure how we could restore articles once they're deleted, and for some reason the idea of "editing" in a new article so you can see previous revisions skipped my idea thinktank.

Ok because that's made me paranoid I've just checked through every writers page to make sure that hasn't happened to any others that I misinterpreted as a stub or header. There were no other 'deleted' pages (only a couple I think yet to be started/self-deleted by devtome_writer - Human_Cybernetic_Enhancement & Solid_Fuel_Gasifiers). Feel free to check for yourself though, and while you're there you could file them...

Also fwiw no article of an existing writer is actually ever deleted in Devtome, at least that I can work out. If you/anybody else does apparently delete one, to restore it: Select the (apparently deleted, red text) article - click on 'create this page' - type in anything (e.g. 'test') - save - then select 'old revisions - pick the one you want of all historial versions - 'edit this page' - save.

Hehe nah that cool ty for the explanation and restoring the page, I appreciate the work u are doing by sorting through the articles so ty

That was me and yes I'll contact him. I've been slowly going through all the devtome articles and topics to categorise and file them as its not generally being done automatically or manually. Where main topics aren't listed as categories I created them, where they already existed as clear heading only I switched them, except where clearly somebody's listed article such as:

Health: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=health

So the archaeology article is now now here as a category: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=category:archaeology ...

... with the addition of newer sub-articles headings (such as on 'egyptian pyramids').

I check each page before I amend any and I didn't appreciate the archaeology article as it stood was on anybody's list, however I've now restored it to the original:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=archaeology

So my mistake if it was intended to remain as is - as part of an invoice - and so apologies to fuzzy - it's now back. I'll leave it to somebody else as to whether to sub-categorise etc

Ouch... you would think it would log the person who made the changes (like it does with article changes)... maybe weisoq can see that information?
