Any word on when those of us who did it wrong will be able to do it again?

Looking forward to seeing this! |

Come-from-Beyond: could you for god sake, explain things more clearly, explain it once with a sample?!
I don't know should I first make an account in the other page and then type in your new link or not?
Also what is YOU_ACCOUNT ? What is the use of our previously used hashes here to claim our coin??
Just explain us with an example (hope you never become a teacher anyway)
1. Go to http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator2. Type the secret phrase u used to generate the double hash u attached to ur payment in "Data" field 3. Press "Calculate SHA256 hash" button 4. Copy the content of "SHA-256 hash" field. This is ur "key" value5. Go to http://88.198.210.245:78756. Press yellow lock icon in top left corner 7. Enter any secret phrase. This is other phrase, not the same as u used in step 2. Don't forget it, otherwise u won't be able to get ur coins!8. Press "Unlock account" button 9. Copy a green number in top left corner. This is ur "account" value10. Open http://nxtgenesisblock.appspot.com/?key=[value_from_step_4]&account=[value_from_step_9] 11. U should see "Done" message 12. Open http://nxtgenesisblock.appspot.com to make sure u see ur account and amount Example: In SHA-256 calculator I typed "123" and got "a665a45920422f9d417e4867efdc4fb8a04a1f3fff1fa07e998e86f7f7a27ae3". In Nxt client I typed "777" and got "875119900524031434". After that I'm supposed to open http://nxtgenesisblock.appspot.com/?key=a665a45920422f9d417e4867efdc4fb8a04a1f3fff1fa07e998e86f7f7a27ae3&account=875119900524031434Thanks, that makes a lot more sense. For those of us that screwed up, can you say when we will be able to do it again and access the Nxt? |

I was thinking of that, the post idea is pretty good, we always need good human judges of work. What if we posted hashes of our work through a browser add-on that connects to Devtome? We sign in to the Add-on it connects to Devtome and we simply highlight what we want hashed and send it to Devtome ... this can create far more content. It just makes it more managable to share work anywhere. Plus we can easily advertise and guide others to everyone's posts over the internet not just Devtome... lots of marketing opportunities.
Search engines don't like duplicate content, it would just be spam basically. |

Great! My account appeared. So the number of Nxt becomes the account number if I'm understanding correctly? How can we access the Nnt to send/receive them, or is that the next step? No. Number of NXT doesn't become account id. Go to http://88.198.210.245:7875 and log with ANY secret phrase. Green number in top left corner is ur account id. That was me who did that mistake! Not sure how I can fix it now as if I try it again it says "Already assigned to 14887912". Someone else did the same as me by the looks of it. What now?! |

I suggest limiting the posts per user to forty per month. Also, duplicate posts will be removed.
Are there are objections to either suggestion? Should the posts per user be limited to a smaller number?
Any way of implementing diminishing returns? I support this. Do you mean the shares per user? I might support that, what happens to the extra coins? |

Can we actually access our Nxt yet or is the site that is up just a demo version?

I'm on a poker site with alt coin project.
I'm not a coder but I was working in poker affiliation before poker black friday.
I'm searching for one dev specialized in cryptos to help us.
If I can make it run soon enough, I'll be happy to make Nxt my first ingame currency and spread it with giveaways if you want to donate.
Anyone interested in the project; feel free to pm me.
And yep an order book is needed
That would be great, hopefully someone here can help. |

I am now looking at other cryptos to list on the exchange at tagbond, and to integrate to the platform in general. I am looking for fairly created coins that will help build the membership base at Tagbond.
Can you let me know why I should add Devcoin, any advantages or disadvantages to us.
Devcoiners are a loyal bunch, most of us earn our Devcoins by writing on Devtome so we have a 'core' of loyal DVC earning writers who support any exchange DVC is traded on. Also Devcoin has been around a long time (over 2 years I think) and is one of the oldest alts. There's no risk of it dyeing anytime soon like one of the endless scamcoins which have no innovation. Also Devcoiners might actually want to use Tagbond to promote Devtome, in order to recruit new writers by creating Tagverts. Also, Devtome is designed to support developers of all kinds (at the moment though it's almost entirely writers) so if added to Tagbond you would be supporting writers, which some consider a good thing. For example, I published my book about hiking the Appalachian trail on Devtome (see sig) and got paid in Devcoins, so that was a reward for a creative project. A final point is that there are new Devcoin developments in the pipeline (we are alwas discussing them on here) so the future looks bright for Devcoin. All in all Devcoin is a worthy altcoin for trading on any serious altcoin exchange. I've had a look around Tagbond for the first time today, looks like it could work if it gets enough Tagverts being made, good luck. |

Unfortunately they need money for research and components. If they had that money, they'd just build the machines and mine themselves. So to fund the research and components, they solicit pre-orders. Yes, it sucks. But I don't see a way around it... ?
I do, it's called getting investors. bank loans, crowdsourcing, etc. Draw up a business plan and present it. With the history cryptocurrency device manufacturers have had (BFL, BitFury, KNC, etc) you should be able to easily show that there is a demand. If all else fails, go to Kickstarter. You must mean crowdfunding not crowdsourcing. Taking pre-orders is basically crowdfunding, and we are the target crowd. Kickstarter is usually for charity, it's for donating, I don't know why people would donate to a for-profit business. But still, it would be nice to not have to gamble on a pre-order. |

I would be interested in working on this for a DVC bounty, but my suggestions are a big change to the project and we'd need some consensus.
I'm proposing a dismantling of Devtome and a re-packaging of its content onto separate websites. These will be more reader friendly, more search engine friendly and more advertiser friendly.
That's the strength of Devtome, the content, and the 'packaging' of that content is very important.
I can do this work in two stages:
Stage 1: Planning
To start I would decide how Devtomes content would be best divided up to be commercially viable on a blog network. At a quick glance I can see the e-currency section with some articles from the Computing section would work well together on a single website. Also the health section looks strong enough to have its own website. Each individual website will need to have enough content to be viable, so the content in some isolated and thinly populated categories may not be able to be used at first. Once I've divided it all up and done some keyword research for search terms we should aim to rank for and found some good domain names to use I can proceed to the next stage, which is:
Stage 2: Execution
Register the domain names, install wordpress on them. I would need help making the designs look snazzy as I am not a web designer, but I can find decent free wordpress themes to get started with. I would then go about removing the articles from Devtome and publish them onto the new Devcoin powered blog network. Google likes it when a site has new content added regularly, so re-publishing the articles approximately one per day over the course of a few months would be best. (Devtome of course does have regular content added, which is great, but its lack of topic-focus makes it hard for the search engines to categorise). New content would still be needed all the time as per usual to keep growing the blogs. I would also be able to provide the lists of keywords we would be aiming to rank for in the search engines to Devtomers and explain in detail how to go about link building to build highly targeted organic search traffic. Once traffic builds, I can put up Google Adsense (have done this lots of times before) and we can use the revenue to do whatever we think we should. I'd recommend waiting 2-3 months before putting up any ads to let traffic build first.
If people want me to go ahead with this, please voice your opinions. It is a big project and I am willing to do it for a bounty.
I've particularly thought the avenue of a portal focusing on cryptos would work. There's a lot of info on devtome - in the e-currency, cryptos, business and companies categories - that would suit a single crypto site, as well as more personal articles written on various experiences of learning/buying/selling/trading/blogging. These could offer a regular supplement to the more info/data orientated posts. With the incentive of targeted traffic and interest (and perhaps an adjusted compensation in a crypto - devcoin) that could be a good catalyst to capture greater interest as a differentiation vs other blogs in an area (e-money in general) that's only just really beginning and in my opinion will prove to have significant overlap with just about every aspect of life whether we like it or not. The particular focus of a devcoin orientated site, with no particular bias towards including or precluding information/promotion of any particular currency or concept may also prove interesting to the competition (not sure whether that will longer-term prove to be a restriction or limiter of success - people like to stick to their biases). Such an approach broadened out would also move further along the road of building self-sustaining revenue streams, freeing up resources to plough back into further endeavours. As you infer, an information repository has been slowly but surely building - I agree it's time to optimise it and garner greater recognition of the possibilities. I'm not sure all/every topic would work in that format, but it does offer the significant advantage of more likely promoting sub-teams of people with similar interests taking a greater focus on marketing/writing/advertising/vetting. There's more room for trial and error - what works/doesn't can be mutually discussed/utilised with the underlying driver of mutual success as devcoin projects ensuring better finessing. I was thinking basically the same thing after I wrote this post. Blogs might not work for all the categories, and plus if I did this just for cypto-computing-interenet articles that would be a good trial of this idea. |

Anyone can suggest a bounty, the majority of the bounties at: www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_nowwere not started by me. The reason we don't have more bounties is because we didn't get any more suggestions that are useful, could be done for less than 5000$ and haven't already been done. ..
Ie how about a bounty about a website which gives devcoin info and a bounty hub and bug problem trackwr? What about a bounty to add devcoin to an exchange?
..
Bounties were given out for the devcoin.org page, and a backup page. Bounties were given to vircurex and mcxnow for adding devcoin. The bounty page is small, it takes less than ten minutes to read all the bounties, so there's no need yet for a bounty hub. Eventually if we post many bounties, then that would be useful. The only known bug is the high ram consumption, and thanks to you Rsnel is now working on that. He would get at least 6 million coins from me for it and if people don't object, 48 shares for making the low ram version. Thanks, But the bounties aren't being done because 1) they are not being advertised and 2) The incentive does not "grow". It is actually shrinking with price. If someone doesn't take something up it is either because they don't know or don't care to do it because its not worth it to them. If we make it worth it for them they will do it and the list of claimed bounties will grow adding to our marketing repertoire. 1 and 2 are related I think if you do bounties, people will become interested. In order to do bounties you have to create incentive. Incentive can come from marketing or from coins. We can do both but we need a way to increase pay dynamically to catch interest. What about something like what Matt_608 suggested in that the devtome website should be reorganized. That is an effective bounty that someone shoudl take on with webpage experience and maybe use Matt_608 as a analyst to lead the change. This is what I meant by administrating the bounty. He would be good to be an admin for the bounty and someone who can do HTML or CMS systems fairly quickly can easily code it given strict guidelines. I will start requesting bounties then, we should all make these requests and try to focus on things for now that will benefit this project. As soon as this project gets off its feet I'm sure we will have lots of opportunity to help the rest of the world. The bounty hub is essential to create a presentation layer between the customers ( new people viewing as investors or new developers or people coming to the project and crypto world) and the backend grunt workers such as us who do the actual work administration etc. When I picture the site I picture a site where you can signup/transferability over to devtome which should be organized in a coherent manor and an organized section on bounties and a formal process of being able to easily view bounties, claim bounties by submitting work and updating/creating bounties for approval. I would be interested in working on this for a DVC bounty, but my suggestions are a big change to the project and we'd need some consensus.

Are we seriously speculating on who is the best at speculating?  |

Genesis block data:
Address / Hash / BTC / Block / Multiplier / Weight / NXT (approximation!)
Check and quote this post plz.
Yes, I am on there So what will we need to claim the nxt? The root of the hash? I'm on there too (didn't quote the whole thing...). Curious to know how we claim the Nxt. So, what is there left to do? Will BCnxt show up and stop the silliness? |

I think the main issues are:
1. Quality of content.
2. Organisation of content in a sustainable aka profitable way.
From what I gather a content rating system has been added where admins vote on the quality of the writers work. Can anyone confirm this is happening? If so, that's a step in the right direction.
The second problem has to do with advertising. Currently devtome is about everything under the sun, from fiction to non-fiction. That makes it very difficult to find advertisers and/or advertising networks interested in advertising in Devtome, because the traffic to Devtome is highly un-targeted. The traffic matches the content, so in other words, the people visiting Devtome are also interested in everything under the sun. This is very bad for advertisers, who want targeted traffic, people who are interested in their specific product.
Therefore, what is needed is a complete redesign of Devtome. It should be separated into several different websites each with a niche topic. This is also better for traffic, because Google search likes focused content too, not content that is about anything and everything. Unfortunately the 'open source wiki' model just isn't good enough. We need to compromise away from that ideal, and turn Devtome into a network of Devcoin powered websites, each with their own domain name and dismantle devtome, and publish the current Devtome content on the new network. I'd be happy to go into a plan of this in more detail if others agree this should be done.
Put simply, Devtome needs to be repackaged into something more spunky for readers, more effective for advertisers and more focued for the search engines. We nee a marketable product before going on a huge marketing campaign.
(Edit: I know about traffic and advertising because I used to work in SEO, I ran a blog network and sold it for over $20k)

Its just a big bump in the road up the mountain. Any crashes that happen today or in the next week wont keep the price down, it will rise back up very quickly, but they will occur. It will take more than a few swings to get all the exchanges up over $1000, then we'll charge onto $2000 and probably reach around $3000, with the Chinese leading the way the difference between the exchanges will get larger and larger. I'm using the btcchina prices here for my estimates, bitstamp will be around $2000 or even $1800 while btchina is up at $3000. After that I don't know. Maybe a crash to $1000 where we will settle or maybe a bit lower. Haven't a clue where it will end up once things 'settle' if they even do settle. It could just keep frothing madly upwards like this for a long time with more bull news spurring it on.
