How is that?  I mean, isn't this how google gets paid?  Are advertisers that dumb?  I presumed if it was good enough for google and billion dollar advertisers it would be good enough for devtome and devcoin.  Or is there something in addition which google employs to ensure there's no manipulation?  

Anybody know how google does it to keep it fair and keep bots out?  TIA.

Without awareness and POPularity all the DEVeloping in the world will fall flat on its face.

Writers should get paid per quality and the best way is to measure quality the way advertisers and google pay and get paid for ads and that is hits or page-views.

I know unthinkingbit said last month there was a program almost ready to be used for this.  This will ensure that people will write quality work or quit.  It is the most fair way of doing things.

I think pageviews are the best solution.  It's good enough for advertisers to pay big money for page views so why not devtome.  That way if an article is not popular there will be little pay so people will be forced to write better quality or quit. 

This sounds fair enough where having someone judge each article won't be fair as writing is subjective.  Let the masses decide what's good and popular and pay out accordingly. 

Voi Romani stiti ca puteti sa faceti bani numai Pentru scris.  Devcoin prin site-ul devtome.com plateste devcoin Pentru scris articole.  Ei 1 share Pentru 1,000 de cuvinte care vine cam 3 pagini single space. Si 1 share valoraza o suna de devcoin depending pe faptul cati scriitori sunt. Acuma 2 luni valoraza 1,41 millioane pe 1 share, acuma o Luna cand am aflat si eu a scazut la 359,000 pe share si acuma in ziua asta este 150,000 DVC pe share.  Scade ca Mai multi oameni scriu. In fiecare Luna se distribuie 180,000,000 de DVC si cu cat Mai multi participa cu cat Mai mult scade 1 share.

Pana acuma o Luna (cand am aflat si eu) se putea face $10,000 pe Luna daca scri mult (maxim 80.000 de cuvinte) dar acuma ca au aflat Mai multi se imparte bucata in fiecare Luna Mai Putin si Mai Putin.  Dar Pentru voi acolo chiar daca faceti si $500 pe Luna este Bine.

Dar la moment tot se poate face cel Putin $1,500.  Problema este ca trebuie in engleza si nu stiu cum puteti sa translate din romana in engleza.

Daca sunteti interesati doar open an account la devtome si scriti un message la fuzzybear pe devcoin thread.  El o sa va dea writing privileges.

Sa va spun lucru asta inseamna ca eu o sa fac si Mai Putini bani de acum inainte dar vreau sa va ajut cat pot.  Ca $1,500 Pentru ronamia este foarte bine unde aici in America nu prea merita timpul, si numai o Luna daca prindeti puteti sa va luati un Butterfly Labs de 25GH si cu aia se poate face bani frumosi Mai ales Pentru Romania.

Hai Romane, Hai!  Dai Bataie!  

Respek.  

Lol.  Asa zig Negri aici.

No worries man, mi-am dat seama. Cred ca si voi ati intalnit Romani din Astia prin Italia, Spania etc.  man, as da orice sa stau in Italia 6 Luni sa invat limba. Stiu ca viata e grea pentru voi dar benefit frumos aveți sa învățati alte limbi.

Cine știe, dacă merge treaba cu bitcoin le bag in sac si stau la un apartament mic, sau chiar in cort ca țiganii. Ha!


Sunt curious.  Voi de unde sunteti? Eu sunt din Severin.  Ma facut mama Oltean!  Haa!

Stai, deja intrebai asta si nimeni nu vrea sa spuna. Un hacker Afla in 10 Secunde de unde scri doar trebuie sa "ping your IP address".  Stiu ca multi Romani sunt plecati afara de aia incerc sa vad cam cate tari stiu despre bitcoin.

No, it ends at 93,300, maybe 2 more days.  What OS are you using?  Why isn't working, not downloading or you're not seeing any connections to the server?  You have to give it time to synch all 92,500 blocks, then it will work.  

The download is straight forward I even had an easy time downloading it especially the new client with the green D logo.

If the zip file isn't working use the .exe link.  That's the one I ended up having to use.  32 bit works just fine on Windows 64.  Good luck.

I don't think the long term prospects of Devcoin are very bright. The more people who write, the less pie there is for writers? That means it's a zero sum game. Why are people actually trying to attract more writers if the case is that quality will go down and so will the pay? It doesn't seem to be good for Devcoin either.

Long term the quality of articles of Devcoin will begin to reflect what writers are paid to write them.

You may end up being correct.  This is truly a unique experiment for a business plan.  On the surface it's almost ideal but the big question is:  can it be sustained and will quality improve or worsen as time goes on and shares shrink.  

MarkM, made a good point that people won't rush out to just write anything cause the shares are large.  At the same time you're correct too, one would expect quality to worsen as talented or educated people rather spend their time where they can maximize their earnings potential.  

It remains to be seen.  I'm excited to see what happens.

You're talking about yesterday.  Round 24 and soon 25 has gone down by at least a factor of 4 if not more.  First, the value of devcoins has been cut by roughly 60% and then the amount of coins per share is down by at least 60%.  That's closer to a factor of 5 or 6 than a factor of 4 so take your $20 per hour and we're closer to my $2 per hour neighborhood than your $20.

Being a student is one thing. If you were a skilled computer programmer would you work for $5 per hour, $3, $2 per hour?  That's the neighborhood we're in.

I'm not complaining, nobody is forcing anyone to contribute.  I was simply pointing out a statistic, a fact and I mentioned that it may not make any difference as there may be lots of people, like students or trained professionals in 3rd world countries who think $20 per day is a good deal.

Like I said earlier, I'm excited and curious to see what happens in round 5 because unlike round 22, I see much wider and deeper awareness for round 25.  Should be interesting.


Good luck!

Edit:  here's an easy way to figure out the change:  last round we got 359,000 per share and I actually paid .00041 cash for devcoin on vircurex.

So for last round we got 359,000 X $.00041 = $147

This round I'm guessing a share will be roughly 140,000 coins times $.00020 (the actual bid is lower than this right now) so then your total per share this round is $28.  And it keeps heading lower for some reason.

So from $147 to $28 it's pretty much what I guessed, a change by a factor of 5, which means this round and maybe even the next is worth 20% (1/5) compared to last round so last round is not a good gauge to use for time value or opportunity cost.

I think devcoin will bottom soon and eventually go up on increased global demand and and/or positive catalysts, but I doubt we'll ever see large shares like last round (359K) or especially the round prior to that (1.41 million).

Merci.

Alta nebunie aici de Romani si care multi din ei sunt Nou veniti (sub 10 Ani) fac copii si ii numesc nume pur Americane.  Aproape toti fac Asa. Nu inteleg, eu sunt aici toata viata si ma-m simtit Prost sa numesc copii mei nume pur Americane.

Mi-r fi rusine sa-I duc in vizita in Romania si bunicii, verisorii, etc sa nu poate sa le strige numele. Cum zice o bunica la un nume like Jonathan?  Sau Jeremy, sau Rachel?  Nu se gandesc oameni astea la rudele lor sau la fapta ca America este pe ultimul picior (on its last leg) si o sa se prabuseasca si most likely noi toti o sa fugim de America inapoi Acasa in Romania si copii nostri o sa fie straini fara nici macar un nume pronuntabil.

Eu am numit pe ai mei ambi-nume, like David si Alessia, nume gandit Pentru viitor sa mearga in doua societatii si nume sa poata pronunta toate rudele aici si acolo. Si eu personal nu le strig numele lor in Engleza, suna Mai frumos stil Roman si ei in schimb nu im striga daddy, ci tati, mult Mai frumos. Dar nu va veni sa credeti sa vedeti cati Putini fac lucru asta, nici 10%. Se fac prostii full Americani in 3, 4 Ani. Foarte ciudat.

Sunt si multi veniti aici noi si copii lor nici nu stiu un boaba de limba romana. Nici macar ma cheama Cretin sau me foame de un rahat de la Mcdonalds. Ceva socant, ce cadou si sense de identitate fura prostii astia de la copiii lor. Cand ii vad vreau sa le trag 100 de pumni in cap. Sper cand vine vremea grea Americanii astea de Romani sa ramana aici. Ca fac un ban sau o facultate si numai dai de nasul lor si dintr-o data nici nu Mai stiu romaneste. Daca poti sa crezi uni veniti de sub 5 Ani ma intrebeaba pe mine sum se zice ceva in romaneste cand ei au terminat si liceu acolo.

Like I said, numai pumni in moaca le trebuie.  Ha!

Ranlo, you mind if I ask:  are you a writer or did you have articles pre-written from other sites perhaps?  Just curious cause I worked really hard and I'm far from 80K.  Some nights I wrote straight thru until the next evening.  Maybe that's why I burned out, I hit it too hard and furious.  Lol.

I was just so excited to have found a way to earn crypto-coins.  I was posting page long posts on here until I got called a troll.  Ahaaaaa.

At any rate, at roughly $2 per hour now I don't know how much writing I'm gonna do.  I'll still write some but it's hard when I know I can allocate my time for things much more valuable, either monetarily or family-wise.  But I really believe in this thing, I'm a long term holder - i will not sell any of my crypto-coins, and I really want devcoin to succeed so I'll write even if it's just a charitable thing but I don't know if I'll have the chutzpah to write 18 hours straight when the financial reward is no longer there.  

But with Devtome and Devcoin's skyrocketing popularity, on a global scale now, I don't expect this type of reaction to have a significant impact on new content going forward.  It will definitely be an interesting case study to see how things develop over the next few months.  We definitely need a catalyst in the short run to help drive the price of Devcoin back up - to mitigate the sharp drop in share value.  Maybe some big development such as a huge investment by Wallstreet or a big name such as a Soros.  I' convinced it's coming and soon - 3-12 months.

Good luck, bro.

Not sure if you're talking to me, Jaisn.  I said about a week early cause I'm also counting the remaining 3-4 days we still have left.

I didn't know initially it was a may contest only which is why I asked why a winner was announced prematurely.  It's your contest, your money, thanks a lot for being generous and thoughtful.  This is the kind of generosity that brings a lot of awareness to devcoin. 

Thanks for the updated list.  I remember like 3 or 4 days ago Jaisn asking for "Lawyer's" address to ship him the first place prize which was a tablet.  I'm not sure why this was done almost a week prematurely.  Perhaps cause there was nobody close to "Lawyer" with such little time left.  

I hope you didn't lose your prize.  Congrats on 80K, that's really a hard thing to do, unless you have pre-existing articles already.  It's good for devcoin to see so much more content flowing out.  I wonder how much a share will be worth in round 24?  My gut feeling is around 145,000 coins as opposed to 359,000 for round 23 and around 1.41 million for round 22.  I'm also curious to see how many people continue contributing with both, the value of devcoin and the actual coins per share, having plummeted this past round.  

Cause at this point it's like working for about $2 per hour, unless of course, you have articles which you have already written for other sites.  And I think going forward as we get more and more third wolrd country contributors from places like Asia, India and Eastern Europe, it should only get more and more competitive.  That's great for devcoin but not so good if you're trying to earn and you have to give up a more profitable opportunity cost when compared to the current payout of devcoin. I'm banking on the idea that devcoin will reach much higher levels eventually.  

Good luck!

Ai uitat romana pe aeroport?

Ce inseamna?  Adica am plecat cu avioanu si gata am uitat?  Hahahahaaa.  Nu te blamez am intalnit multi cretini care se prefac ca nu Mai stiu romaneste dupa 4 Ani in alta Tara.  Imposibil.  Astea, si sunt multi, doar le este rusine de Tara lor.

Eu sunt in America de aproape 33 de Ani.  Am plecat cand am fost mic si nu am vorbit romaneste aproape de loc Pentru ca mama mea avea grije de 6 copii si nu avea timp de scoala so nea interzis romaneste in casa din primul an ca sa invete si ea engleza si dupa vreo 3 Ani Asa ne-m obijnuit.  

Nu Mia-m dat seama cat am uitat pana cand am venit prima data in Romania dupa 23 de Ani - incercam sa explic la oameni lucruri si ma gaseam fara cuvinte sau cuvintele esau jumate engleza jumate romane si nici nu im dadeam seama. Acuma chiar vorbec bine comparat cu atunci.  Acuma vin mult Mai des dar daca nu vorbesti o limba cateva decenii chiar uiti.

Copii mei prima data au invatat romaneste si pe urma engleza si sunt aici in USA.  Eu sunt Mandru sa fiu roman dar im este foarte greu sa ma explic ca am vocabularu Asa de mic. Incredibly frustrating, man!  Lol.

Multa bafta, Romane.

Edit:  hitman, intreb unde sunteti ca sunt curious cat de departe (how prolific and pervasive) a ajuns crypto-coins sau devcoin in specific.

Aici in America maxim 1% stiu despre ce este vorba dar nu stiu ce Nivel de awareness exista in Europe si in alte tari. Theoria mea este ca in-curand o sa fie o explozie in awareness globala care o sa impinga preturile la toate alt-coins. Si de aia incerc sa l acumulez acuma cat pot si sa cumpar care ASIC miners posibil. 

Am ajuns acuma la 4 butterfly 5GH (+2GH upgrade so 28GH total) and chiar acuma fusai pe net si Mai luat inca una de 25GH.  Cred ca primi care cumpara ASIC miners o sa faca bani buni si cand sar toti pe "bandwagon" profitul o sa scada enorm.  Daca aveti posibitatea luati-va miners acuma inaninte sa Sara nivelul de awareness.

Good luck!

Are you talking about round 24?  I didn't see anybody with 80K. If you do then give a heads up cause you're probably in first place.  I think first round ends at 93,300.  That's what I've seen on here from reputable posters.

I gotta correct myself.  I said a few days ago there were a few people with 70+K words so I asked why a winner was announced a few days early.  I looked at the distribution again and the people who show 70K or more that's actually their total.  One has to look at the last column (Payout) to see the total from this round or round 24.  And in that case there's nobody even close to the 77K "Lawyer" did in which case I see why the results were announced. 

Man, it was much harder than I thought to do a significant amount of writing without burning out.  Wish I could program, that would be a lot more fun.

Congrats to Lawyer, 77K is a crazy amount to write.  I nearly broke myself and I got significantly less than that. lol.

Lol, no problem, im pare bine ca o sa avem ceva timp sa mine bitcoins.  Merci, Zubilica, pentru clarificare.

In 6 luni scads la jumate?  Man, am crezut ca Mai aveam vreo 2 Ani.  Oh, ce nasol.  Nu inteleg de ce se cumpara numai bitcoin cand nu are nici o valoare.  Aidica de exemplu, ixCoin Este identic to bitcoin numai ca toti 21 millioane coins o sa fie pe market pe 2015. De ce nu cumpara nimeni ixCoin?

In parerea mea guvernul American are o mana (pana la cot) bagata in bitcoin.  Eu si UE sunt disperati dupa un ban Nou si ce este Mai bun ca un ban digital Pentru maxim control peste populatie. Eu cred ca in 2-5 Ani nu o sa Mai fie bani reali.  O sa vedem.

Merci.  Arata cam de 7-10 ori Mai mare.  Cam nasol dar tot se poate cara in bagaj.  Original trebuia sa fie in o cutie mica dar nu avea destul cooling.

What?!?!  Asa de Mici sunt?  Eu am crezut ca erau cel Putin de 5 ori Mai mari.  Ce fain.  O sa fie Mai usor decat am crezut sa le car cu mine in Romania daca vin.  Foarte fain. 

Oare cat de mare este aia de 25GH?
