Okay, just did some catching up on all of the posts.

1. The "Legal article regarding research chemicals" that I posted, was explained at the top, cited as not original, and had Attributions listed at the bottom. I had FinShaggy remove it for me anyway. I never intended to get paid for it anyway.

2. Why is my name not on the list of the script run on April 24th?

A daemon is basically what windows would refer to as a system service.

Or what DOS used to call a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program.

Basically a program that drops into the background, disconnecting from the input/output streams you invoked them from. So that once you run the command, you get your command-line input back to type another command instead of having to wait for that program to stop before you can enter some other command (such as to run another program).

Devcoin fires up a whole GUI, as well as still keeping hold of "standard out" (stdout) and "standard error" (stderr) output streams and the "standard input" (stdin) input stream. If you run it from a text mode (command-line_ console you will see the stuff it pours out to stdout and stderr, which is (at least mostly) the same stuff that it also sends to the debug.log file.

In unix one customarily puts a d at the end of the name of a program to indicate it is a daemon, thus the name devcoind for the daemon version. Devcoind actually acts not only like a daemon but also like a control-program used to send commands to a daemon. You run it with the -daemon switch to send it into daemon mode, or without the daemon switch to use it as a control-program for sending commands to the copy that you previously already sent into daemon mode.

Often, maybe usually, the control program for talking to a daemon is separate from the daemon program itself, for example the systemd daemon has a systemctl program used to send commands to it instead of including the control-program functionalisty into the systemd program itself.

Similarly, mysqld is the mysql daemon that is the actual resident database-system system-service whereas mysql is the client program used to send commands to the mysqld to actually create databases, look things up in databases and so on.

Hello. I installed devcoind from source on a debian squeeze machine, so here is the step by step guide:

Download source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/DeVCoin/ and unpack it anywhere, e.g. /home/emfox/devcoind .

Of course you should have g++ and make to build it, and devcoin use curl and db, we need them, at last, boost and glib2.0 is needed (I don't like bother to find which boost lib, so installed all of them, here is the command:

sudo apt-get install g++ make libcurl4-openssl-dev  libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libglib2.0-dev

then compile it:

cd /home/emfox/devcoind/src

make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= bitcoind

so now there's a file 'bitcoind' laying in /home/emfox/devcoind/src

we do not like the name and won't let it stay in a source tree, so we just:

mv /home/emfox/devcoind/src/bitcoind /home/emfox/bin/devcoind

before running it, we should edit ~/.devcoin/devcoin.conf, add a line:

rpcpassword=your_random_password_blabla

at last, run!

/home/emfox/bin/devcoind -daemon

devcoind should have started, and listening on port 52333.

That's all.

Yes, if you add additional words to an article you have already written later on, you will be paid for those additional words automatically in the next months generation shares, when the script is run to calculate and generate the generation share payouts.

As far as I know, if you add words to someone elses article is between you and the author, to arrange for you to receive some of the authors generation shares. Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong!
