I agree that we need a nice website though... even the pump-n-dump coins have good sites. And the client needs a workover as well, ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) . What it boils down to is that Devcoin and all things related to it (and I would say cryptocoins in general) need to be communicated to the non-geek audience in a language we can understand without being patronizing. People who mess around with hardware and know how to write code tend to not necessarily be all that great on making a website that looks nice. They also tend to not be very good writers in terms of being able to communicate the concepts in writing to a larger audience. I'm working on a more developed article about this, but I think the real value of the stories and questions thread is not in generating made to order fiction, but in connecting the geniuses of the cryptoworld (those who start businesses but intend to raise funding through IPOs, those working on various bounty projects, etc.) with people like me who could write about them and communicate the features/benefits to a wider audience. I can become knowledgeable enough to write about just about any subject if the one passionate about that subject is willing to take the time to tell me about the project and answer my questions (the interview process that freelance writers go through when they are writing a story) and have the attitude that no question is a stupid question. Those are the people who need to be putting up bounties--the ones who have great ideas and are working on amazing things but who for whatever reason are unable or unwilling to communicate in writing what they are doing to the world at large. I know writing doesn't come easy to everyone. Take Devda.ch, for example. And this isn't meant to be a slam, but just something to help--the site is filled with pictures of stuff I have no idea what it is (other than it's computer related) with very little explanation, and absolutely NOTHING in the investor section. That site needs content that average people can read and understand. I (and other writers) can write that content as long as I'm given access to the people who are working on the projects. And then so many more people can know what's going on and understand why it's so great and even possibly invest money in it. This is actually a very good point... on the note of writing, I can help out as well. I'm not as technologically-minded in terms of Bitcoin/Cryptos in general, but if I can understand what's going on I can break it down into simpler methods for others to understand as well. @twobits -- this is an issue I have as well... bounties are based on the "first," rather than the best. I think bounties should work like anything else; you are paying for quality. Anyone can toss up a crappy forum that meets the requirements needed for the forum bounty. It takes more skill to get one together that is set up properly, works like everyone wants and is seen as being usable by everyone.

Today I am in a bad mood. Sorry I will be a little bit rude and direct to the point, but.... In this forum many are worried about the low price of DVC. My opinion? A coin like DVC, claiming to be for developers, it is not able to have good developers at its disposal. Sorry for the comparison, but I just typed the word worldcoin: the first result is a complete, nice website. I tried to type devcoin: the first website coming out is 1 page website, very elementary website. People need more to be convinced to put their money on it. Secondly, it could be nice to have constant selling of DVC on websites like ebay: i knew of dvc on it, not on devtome.com.
Selling DVC on eBay is a fast way to get your eBay and Paypal accounts banned and frozen. I agree that we need a nice website though... even the pump-n-dump coins have good sites. And the client needs a workover as well, ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) .

Some of these threads are scaring me a bit.. But then someone has to be trusted at one point. Are group buys safer?
If the person running it is trusted. But there are secondary problems with group buys: even if the person you are buying from is legitimate, their supplier could not be, in which case your seller has no money to return. You therefore have to trust that the person hosting the group buy is legitimate, as well as their supplier.

What are the shares you guys are talking about? Signed up and I'm still not seeing anything related to it...

So, according to the readme an introduction post is in order! My name is DBoy, I'm an Python programmer and have been for the last 5 years. I've gotten interested in all the hype about Bitcoins and would like to learn more. I've read quite a lot on the forums and think I'll be able to make a brilliant contribution, no matter if it's small. Looking forward to it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Welcome! If you're looking for a way to passively earn some BTC's, check out the Faucet Rotator. It'll help you get a head-start!

Yes, that's exactly rate. I may end up changing it so that half of your "counted" posts count after the first period.
That would be perfect to me, ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . I think it's a good way to balance the two methods as well.

I'll be glad to give you $1000...NOT.... ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) If he was more professional with what he's doing and actually had knowledge of the business (instead of contradicting himself when giving details) I would gladly have invested the 1k or even more. The business is definitely lucrative if done correctly, and scales up nicely with bigger investments.

I got a response back from BTC-e already. Here it is in its entirety:
---- no
Ticket Details Ticket ID: IDR-846-75570
i know... i guess the admins have to forward the decision made above them. but i am pretty sure they also have to give statistics on the requests, and if "dvc adding" is ranking high, it might turn the dime... lets keep pushing every day!!! I hope it does something. I've gotta be honest... just having the only response given as "no" is disheartening for a business. They could at least take the time to send a proper response, even if it's a pre-written one. This doesn't make me feel too confident about their company/website at all.

Sweet...so I just pick a topic and write about it...sort of the Wiki of Cryptos in that regard!
Sweet perhaps, but the system totally lacks any quality control. You can put pretty much anything on devtome as "writing" and get shares for it. It's a shame the project is failing in that regard. Completely false. As of a couple weeks ago some of us have been given the job of ensuring that articles are up to quality standards. Multiple people have been removed from the payment list as a result or been declined, and many more have been contacted and have had to fix their articles or remove problematic ones. Please do not spread false information around.

It's just quoted the other way round. dvc/ltc = (dvc/btc) / (ltc/btc) = where it's priced on cryptsy
I mean... what I did is take: LTC/BTC = 32 (it was 0.031 or so the last time I checked) DVC/BTC = 1.2 mil when I checked DVC/LTC*32 = it was like 2 million

I'll rent mine out starting on the 23rd, :p.

If we all just took 5 min a day to write and request mtgox, btc-e, and all the rest where there is no DVC yet, to add it, it could really make a difference. really more then just sitting anxious and hoping for the price to rise from doing nothing. Write them NOW! I wrote already to BTC-e support to add DVC (again). you all should write them too, let our voices be heard: http://hdbtce.kayako.com/and also Mtgox: https://support.mtgox.com/homehttps://twitter.com/MtGoxI'm game...might try the "Write for Devcoins" stuff as well! I am totally down to write about them...though I know very little technical stuff about cryptocoins. Has everyone seen the LTC/DVC option at Cryptsy? Seems like an arbitrage opportunity in there somewhere when combined with BTC/LTC, and BTC/DVC on vircurex. The LTC/DVC price on Cryptsy is over 2x what it should be. Unless you mean trading DVC for BTC on Virc, then taking the BTC to Cryptsy and trading it for LTC, then taking the LTC to BTC-E to trade to BTC and doing a circle like that, lol.

Thanks Adrian I received the payment as agreed ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) For the next 30 day period I'll switch to TradeFortress for the higher payout and because you are switching to a system in which one is paid by posts made in a certain time. I do not post that much but have a lot of posts because I've been here a long time and therefore the other offer is better for me specifically. Thanks again! Hey, thanks for supporting us this month man. Want to clarify though for others that the new system is certainly not paid by posts in a certain time. It's a basic raffle system where all participants have an equal chance of winning 3 prizes every 2 weeks, regardless of amount of posts. I admit that this was a bit vague in our other topic. Awww, I hate raffles. I'd rather get a guaranteed something than a lot of chances at nothing, ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) .

Is the site down for maintenance?
No. Having troubles? It works here. FWIW, no issues here either.
