I appreciate this discussion, but I think it is too soon to talk about a possible change in the way Devcoin operates. Currently, it is still quite small (although very widely known) and young (only about 2 years). The inflation part has been huge during this period, but this will drop below 10% very soon (the next few years). If Crypto's live up to their full potential, 10% annual inflation will be a mere dip in the growth of value.

From my perspective, Devcoin has a future as prime example of supporting a cause directly but anonymously. It could be a role model of a 'charity coin'. Usable as currency, but in support of a commonly felt cause (is the Red Cross reading this?). It should be fancy in the future to use Devcoins (e.g., to pay for beverage and food with Devcoins at the big annual tech conferences), geeks knowing that they support their own. All this in connection with a much more valuable Devcoin, so more and prestigious projects can be funded.

We just need to find and cross the 'chasm' to make this happen.

Addition: as I wrote here, I think it is important to explain in more detail how Devcoin works in terms of total cap (=none) versus reality (it won't be a problem in the future).

All i can tell you is I had my fair share of misfortune and f@* ups in this field. Setbacks will make you mentally much stronger in the future. I am grateful for what I got and whats still ahead of us. We are still only in 1993.

Just keep on mining Doge and have fun.

So you sold 1+ million Doges for good BTC and now look for donations? Am I missing something?

It has been announced that a 25 Doge fee applies to payouts below 1,000.

Then put in orders @ $350 and wait what happens.

Cryptsy deposits still take ages. Oh well, at least we have exchanges that support Dogecoin (and price seems to rise right now).

Sent some Doge.
Now, go do something for Dogecoin and get more at the giveaway threads  

No. The one thing that most people absolutely fear is .... CHANGE.

They would rather complain but stick to their current miserable but known situation than to accept ... change.

Change is fear
Change is uncertain
Change is doubt

This will cause the slow advancement of crypto currency instead of a 2 year walk in the park. That's why I am so grateful for Dogecoin. It takes away the fear while showing the potential.

Many altcoins and constant death/birth thereof is essential for crypto's survival. Once this thing picks up speed, I expect the value of altcoins to increase dramatically. People will be moving normal' money into trusted networks with fixed parameters. Just wait until the crisis hits harder and/or crypto becomes more mainstream (sending to e-mail address instead of 13-digit address, total mobile integration/automatic - behind the scene - conversion, single point of contact (a bank?), etc).

Altcoins do not have to be used from point to point, as long as people consider their network to have value. I foresee exchange of coins hidden from normal users when they pay to an e-mail address (or whatever other means), and just see a universal number. It all needs to be figured out yet, but - again - Dogecoin shows how quickly people forget it's just a bunch of 0s and 1s.

Therefore, I think altcoins are essential to crypto's success and survival. It will create much more resilience. I mean, even Dogecoin can suddenly pop up and reach a very broad target despite its clear ridiculous background. It's the prime example of power of the masses. The masses will learn this soon enough.

It's going to be nothing or everything. I think it's going to be mind blowing just like The Internet.

Personally, I like Zetacoin now because of its 1 year coin release followed by the relative low inflation rate thereafter. It will be interesting to see how it goes once coin creation tapers off after the first year. So much to learn, So WoW. Many love. Such fear.

If the admins choose for 3 shares for me, please divert 2 of the 3 shares to something else 

This is what keeps this thing alive.

So much laughs.

Merry Christmas 

On a different note, Doge's behaviour is the same as other new popular coins. Its hard to go through the whole bottoming process until the next rise. Could take months.

I did a write up at Devtome: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=testing_updated_devcoin_windows_client

The new client really behaves well. I love to see it linked via Devcoin.org once all small corrections have been made.

In all 28?  

I dont mind the downfall. Got lowball offers in @cryptsy and will pick up loads if it goes down more and more. The joke is still powerful.

I posted in all giveaway threads listed a couple of pages ago. No Doge's received.

I'll guess that sums up the immediate forecast the next few days.

I got 10 DVC from you and had no other balance. I have no voluntary payment fee configured for the client. The client demanded a minimum 0.5 DVC fee for the return payment. Hence, 9.5 DVC available and 0.5 as payment fee. See details of the payment here

I would take the bet.

Doge supposed to be much fun. Many coins. So Profit. Wow.
