Yep, paid!

I've had it for a month now and I'm still not paid. :/

On this note, as a heads-up, my payment should be coming today.

Thanks!

This may have already been covered but a search rendered no results.  Is there a way to disable the e-mail notifications for the auto payouts?
under account theres a dropdown menu for receive automated pool emails, i think that would probably do it

Wow... I fail. Somehow I missed that completely. Thanks for the heads-up!

I don't believe so, but what you can do is set up a filter to automatically delete any of those emails. You would use the "subject" as the filter. Set it for "Multipool.in Automatic Payout Notification."

Love free bitcoin

Let me know if you have any problems or comments, Smiley.

Thanks!

Hello,

I really like your pool and its multi-pool concept.  Any chance you will add PPCoin to go along with Terracoin and then perform auto switching between these two SHA-256 types?

I think this would be cool too ^  Wink

TRC is adjusting difficulty on every found block - I'm not even sure it would make any sense to switch in and out of it, unless there there significant power inside the pool so it can find a block with high probability before difficulty adjusts. Total TRC Network is about 300 MHS, so if multipool would have about 150, it could work.

Would also be nice to have 2-3 TH/s and mine BTC as a baseline and switch in and out of TRC/PPC when it is profitable.


Increasing hash rates is something Floud is working towards. The more people we can get on multipool, the more we can do. It looks like it's been increasing, although somewhat slow. Need more people!

Update: I need opinions guys. There's a faucet I was contacted about that has a 10m cooldown but a payout rate of about 1/5 of the 30m ones. Would you like it to be added to the rotator?

I haven't done it yet because I felt it would be a little intrusive to have a large number of 30m timers together but a single 10m one on its own. But I'll leave that up to you guys!
Yes.

Thanks for the input! Need more votes to decide what to do...

The faucet owner suggested just setting it at a 30m timer to go along with what most others are...
8287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated on: June 22, 2013, 04:15:30 AM
One thing I'd really like to see more of is ways to invest Devcoins in sound companies.  I'm reading up on the ASIC miner DVC pass through share listed on Cryptostocks and the ASIC miner company itself and liking what I'm learning so far in terms of feeling that would be a good investment.  I'd like to see more opportunities like this.

...

 And I think the result of me putting some DVC in such investments would in turn provide positive feedback to the value of DVC.

Agreed on all counts. ASCMDVCPT is awesome because it generates BTC from dividends and turns them into DVC, which raises the exchange rate, and offsets all the selling off of DVC that is happening. Unfortunately, right now ASCMDVCPT shares are overvalued - I just sold off about half my shares and was able to by nearly 20x of the equivalent shares by buying TAT.ASICMINER shares instead. I think this could potentially be solved by twobits/FuzzyBear buying a few more passthrough shares and issuing more ASCMDVCPT shares for a more reasonable price. Without competitive share prices, people are just going to sell their DVC for BTC and invest in ASICMINER directly. Perhaps someone could offer a service that acts sort of like ASCMDVCPT, but with the price fixed to the TAT.ASICMINER value?

As far as other DVC investments, I'm not sure there really is any solid investment one could offer other than an investment in ASICMINER... as far as I can tell, no other cryptostock has come close. We're going to need more options than just investing in ASICMINER to convince people to not cash out their DVC.

One other solution I considered was to make some sort of service allowing people to buy things directly with DVC - think BitPay or Gyft but with DVC instead. This way people wouldn't be in such a hurry to sell off their DVC for fiat. Although of course the problem here is the service would still be forced to somehow exchange the DVC for fiat in order to actually purchase the goods for their customers.

Thoughts?

Mmm, I think maybe an auction-type site may help out with getting a little more usability on DVC, but you're right about needing more actual uses. One thing Feathercoin has been doing that I love is that they have really been pushing for things like merchant adoption, giving a value to FTC.

DVC should work on the same type of thing, getting merchants on board. While the merchants will be converting their DVC to fiat most likely, it should happen on a much smaller rate because it helps show people that the DVC has value and that there is reason to hold it. As it is now, I agree that the valuation of the coin is pretty low, and this is due to the lack of real uses as of now.

i agree aswell with this argument, so basicaly this is the layering of the voting, this system has to be worked out in a way that all actual guys in charge has a tool to work with, but by now they just the have contributed texts probably page views.

ranio, what would you suggest?

I'm still working on coming up with a working solution. Essentially what I'm working on is finding something that is very difficult to exploit. So far everything I've seen tossed out is easy to manipulate.

It's definitely an interesting discussion though, and I'm always up for hearing new ideas people have. Coming up with a great solution has been ridiculously difficult, and the more people that are able to get involved, the harder it gets (ex. with voting systems).

One issue I've been having to try and work around is the fact that non-writers are allowed to join in, as well as those that write in other languages. As a direct example of what I am used to as a writer, it's more of a tiered approach, and I think it may work here as well if it's adapted in some way (I'm also willing to help work on coming up with a solid way of handling it). Essentially what has worked the best is to turn it into what you would expect from a job:

1) You are starting out as a newbie (generally) so you get paid minimum wage
2) If you aren't doing a good job, you're let go. If you are, move to #3
3) As your skills improve, you are promoted to a higher rank (and therefore higher pay)

The hard part here is determining 1) what the ranks should be and 2) how to determine promotions.

Some people may take this the wrong way, but it's the truth: not all writing is equal, nor should all writers be paid the same. Much like three mathematics professors will get paid different wages depending on their knowledge and experience, writers for DVC should be treated as separate people. It goes along the same lines as when you hire a writer. You can find someone to write an article for you at the cost of $5, but the quality will be noticeably different from someone who has more experience and charges more. While the cost for this other writer may be $30 per article, the quality is better and they are well worth the extra cost.

EzineArticles.com is probably the most respected article directory.  Writers contribute articles for free in exchange for the ability to backlink from a high page ranking site.  Each article is manually reviewed and accepted.  If you want quality and not just quantity or word count you may not be able to get around needing to have real people review content, in which case you have to consider a bounty for reviewers/editors.  I suppose proven writers could earn more relative to how much less effort reviewers need to expend evaluating and cleaning up their material.

Ezine contributes so little with its backlinks that it's really worthless. A few years ago they were good, but the quality started dropping quickly (they accept some horrible articles -- I've tested this myself) and the value of the links went down as a result.

The pay is the huge concern to me. As an example, someone can write 1k words about a movie they like a lot easier than someone can write 1k words on astrophysics theories. Their value, therefore, is vastly different and should be treated as such.

i agree with wiser

I suggest independent of the writings there should be a competition about the quality of the donated articles, what would according to the ranking define the amount of gained DVC funds in addition to the method of defining charity donation receivers.

I think the bounty should be defined in various layers of interest not just in one - the word count.

Factors like atractivity and emotional expirience usefullness etc. are not yet involved and could be solved by a viewers voting system

This voting based method on top of the layer of the actual one would open the window for music and video, and shape the texts on devtome aswell.

Round contests for:

the best text
for music/audio (what about audiobooks)
for video
etc.

I allso suggest a voting layer of the admin team for the contributors and vice versa.

After working out such a system the next step would be the decentralized storage place for all the results, and this way automatisation.


The problem with a voting contest is that it becomes more of a popularity contest. The number of people who vote is usually small enough (say 5k max if you have 1 million people) that it's very easy to sway the votes in your favor, without even having to try. I've always been against this type of thing and I will continue being against it.

The only real way to determine quality of content on a somewhat fair scale is to have a person, or a small group of people, review submissions and give their own input.

Sorry for not being active on this thread. While I'm here, is there anything I should add? (Any new services, or Devcoin related threads.)

By the way.. What's up with recent threads like this? - Seems like a Pump N' Dump to me..

Edit: Just realized most of these threads were made by Fin Shaggy. What's up with that?


Fin Shaggy has been spreading a lot of crap that he thinks helps but is making things worse. Like when he says you can get thousands of DVC that were worth $10 each for writing.

Then again, look at his thread about the Bitcoin town and you'll see that he also kills any chances of that being successful. I'm still not sure if he's trying to destroy the two projects or if he just has no idea wtf he's doing, but all he is doing is giving BOTH projects a really negative light and spreading tons of misinformation about them.

This has been going on for a while and it's a big reason why it's becoming harder to get more people on board. He's acting like he's the spokesperson for DVC and spends most of his time either lying or being a complete douchebag to people.

I thought I was the only person who saw this. Anybody who tries to help him, or look in another perspective is considered a troll. I personally think he's always high since he farms Marijuana, and he always looks high in his videos.

He doesn't think, to be more exact. He's saying, "Sell all ur stufferz for .1 cent. It's going to magically create Devcoin worth one cent." He's giving anything Devcoin related negative light. Most of his posts on other Devcoin related threads are about Devcoin being $10. Which makes the Devcoin community seem like pumper and dumpers, or utter spammers that want people to think like them.

And on the Spokesperson thing, I can kinda agree. But, if he continues doing it the Devcoin community might die. Especially since a few people think he's one of the developers of Devcoin, and is frustrated at his other idiotic ideas. (Not trying to judge him because he smokes Marijuana, but when people see things like this coming up on Google: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Fin+Shaggy , and they think he's a developer they'd probably automatically think he's trying to pump and dump to get money for his farm.

I'm personally probably going to bring this problem to Unthinking, and then delete any posts about 'pumping n' dumping' on this thread created by him (If there's any), and also probably the main one on this thread. Not trying to be harsh, but he's doing things without thinking, and without noticing it's affecting us all. If he keeps doing it, the Devcoin community might die out a little.

Regarding his highness, he's already self-proclaimed many times that he is "high 24/7." That came from him, and has been known by the community for a while now. It's another way he's shedding bad light on the projects he "tries to help." And if you watch his videos it's pretty obvious that it's true.

Just P.Med Unthinking about it. Hopefully he decides to delete them. I don't think we're the only people that see Fin Shaggy as this.

We're not but the problem is he can only be moderated in our own thread. He's still a contributor to devtome, so he still has an interest in DVC as well. IIRC he's the guy that was pre-selling his DVC too (ex. saying "I need $x.xx, but I will have x DVC I can give to you in a few weeks").

Awesome to hear! I look forward to someday finally winning one of the drawings, :p.

I'm a bit lost as to why the move from 24h to 48h though. I thought the poll was pretty much all for the 24h?

the poll was actually not very revealing.

14 voters spread into 6, 5 and 3... and that doesnt really represent a significant fraction of the audience.

we want to try it out at least and see from the usage stats how the community responds.

Ahh, got you! I wasn't aware that there weren't that many that voted.

a small 0.0015 BTC campaign on Bitvisitor did the trick... we have cracked the 200 players today and a 6th-10th prize are waiting to be drawn in two hours!

also, the weekend is coming and we will give the prizepool a nice little boost after tonight's prizedraw... we'll share the juicy details with you later!

so, as we are closing in on today's drawing, let me share the coming details with you:

The 1st Prize will be increased ca. 3~4-fold. All other prizes are also being roughly doubled. (instant wins will be unchanged)

This weekend we will stick to the daily raffle. After the Sunday drawing, we will move to a 48hr timer with the exception of a 24hr sunday-raffle every week and see how this goes.

all together, by our projections, the prizes we will pay out should be raised to 200% per week by these changes.

FYI: we are taking a bit of our mining experiment's earning to the prize pool... the ads wouldn't allow for such a raise Wink

Awesome to hear! I look forward to someday finally winning one of the drawings, :p.

I'm a bit lost as to why the move from 24h to 48h though. I thought the poll was pretty much all for the 24h?

Nibble may be a good choice to add to MultiPort. It seems to have wild swings in difficulty (with 2016 Block Difficulty Retarget). Yesterday, it was running at 300% with only 1/12 orphans. Just something to keep an eye on.

An issue is that the donations aren't covering the costs, and each additional coin adds more overhead (and more cost) for upkeep...

The donations have been on the rise lately..  I need to finish the code changes so that I know exactly how much is coming in.  That way, I'll know what the income is and how much I can afford to spend monthly on server resources.

Oh, that's great to hear! It looks like the hash rate has been going up a little as well?

How do I mine?
To mine you have to buy some hardware. After buying you simply choose which chain youd like to mine on

The store has all red buy buttons, and my balance is higher than the costs of the items to buy.

hmm, weird. Are all the items in stock?

Yup, trying to buy 5830's.

Please confirm your btc balance. It is working fine on my side. Also how many rigs do you have? There may be a built in limit or something I am unaware of

I checked and have the same issue as him: despite having enough for different parts and them being in stock, all are red except for one, which is the newbie one.
