If you can run me through the process, then a copy of the hosting files should be able to be run out of trollkeep.com. If this can wait for next round all the better for me, as free time finds me elbow deep in directory ~/steem-python/devtome/accounting-master at present.

Seconded if he has time.

DevCoin Admin Role Call Completed

The HR Resources Page [1] has been updated to reflect the response from the Role Call of DevCoin Admins over the last month. Those who have not responded have been removed from the HR Resources page and will also be removed from the share rewards starting in round 98.

If you find the Mac version unusable you could always make a dual Ubuntu boot (or even a boot-able Ubuntu memory stick). My Ubuntu runs a Linux DVC wallet flawlessly.You could then put the stick in cold storage. Hope that may work as a temporary solution.

- Nova

Once the week extension of the Admin Roll Call expires a list of those which had not been responsive will be submitted to develCuy for removal from the share list. The hope is that the next round will include only active admins with the continued, temporary, moratorium on DevTome rewards. Attention shall then be given to project support.

My feeling is that more important than speculative trading that people want a token for the services and/or utilities it provides. There is work underway in the background on some ideas in that regard for DevCoin. An interesting comment by a STEEM developer caught my eye today, where they spoke of Smart Media Tokens which are expected in the next HardFork.

"I mean honestly if someone wanted to create a steem community that distributed EOS or TRON side tokens in a reward pool manner I think the interface could support that community just the same and the feature set may vary a bit. EOS ones may allow some different types of governance structures."

DevCoin Admin Roll Call

It's hard to believe that three weeks have passed since putting out a roll call [1] of all admins listed on our Devcoin Human Resources page [2]. The response has not been 100% although very few of the emails actually bounced. For that reason a week extension will be added and an attempt to reach those that have not replied to emails will be made via PM here on bitcointalk.

In the meantime a space to ease communication among admins is being put together, so that ideas can be developed among one another while moving the DevCoin Relaunch forward.

For me the hidden value of DVC is the secure blockchain itself. As we see more and more utility uses for crypto tokens the present price does not reflect the potential value in my opinion. That said, there needs to be purchasing power given to DVC to see a rise in value. For my little part there is a dApp that is under development which will charge for its service in DVC and/or STEEM. My dApp does not require one be registered on the STEEM blockchain, yet it shall use the STEEM blockchain in its usage, 

It is, also, my hope to set up a system like STEEM's SPS; more of which can be found at the following link...

https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/hf21-sps-and-eip-explained

With such a system in place we will hopefully see more development which should add value to DVC.

My personal end game is to keep the project and blockchain alive and well as value is added through dApp development.

MarkM has made a lot of development in the gaming area to make good use of DVC. It should not be mistaken as the only potential usage.

The STEEM/DVC pairing sounds like a good one for the moment; particularily when moving forward with #DevSTEEM. It was nice to see the interest the buying/selling round generated. 👍😎

ATTENTION DevCoin Administrators

Just a heads up that all administrators listed on the Devcoin Human Resources[1] page have been contacted either via email or PM (where an email was not available) to ensure their interest to continue their involvement in the relaunch of the project.

If you are a DevCoin Admin and have not received an email or a PM please contact me via PM.

If no contact is made in three weeks from this date then it will be assumed they no longer wish to continue with their administrative duties.

There is a temporary moratorium on rewards for DevTome submissions while we make adjustments to the reward system as proposed in my previous posting...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.msg52186677#msg52186677

You do not need a STEEM account, although it is encouraged. You will need to register with a DevTome admin, which should be exaplained at

P.S. The landing page of DevTome has been edited to announce the temporary moratorium.

DevTome Relaunch

Greetings one and all!

First off allow me to thank develCuy for his trust in me to administer DevTome's relaunch and his willingness to take the lead on our DevCoin Reboot.

One big reason for asking develCuy for a temporary moratorium on rewards for new content submissions to DevTome is because my idea is to introduce a new payment structure for submissions. This idea is not etched in stone and is presented here for community feedback.

Prior to this relaunch a content creator would receive inflation shares in proportion to the word count of their submissions for that round. This worked great when there were many content creators but as submissions have slowed to a trickle the very few that are still contributing to DevTome are receiving astronomical rewards.

My thought is to introduce a reward system that pays a set amount for each word submitted. Meanwhile content that our DevTome Admins deem exceptional content will be mirrored through the https://steemit.com/@devcoin account with a share of the STEEM rewards going to the original author. Again, this is not set in stone and presented here for discussion.

How to decide the reward value

Although this idea is primarily for DevTome, it would be my preference to see it used for bounties and administration rewards as well. It is not my idea but one that is going to be deployed in STEEM's next release (HF21) and the code running the system is Open Sourced. They call it the Steem Proposal System (a/k/a SteemDAO). More details can be found at the following link:

https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/hf21-sps-and-eip-explained

Basically it is a system where one can make a proposal for a project/chore/task for the community and then that idea can be voted on by the community. The top 10 proposals will receive funding from a reward pool set aside for that purpose. In the case of STEEM, voting is based on STEEM stake and accounts are known by registering on the blockchain. Because we don't have that with DevCoin my proposal would be to use our DevCoins like stake by burning them with our vote. The more DVC burnt than the greater stake would be given to that vote regardless if it were an up or downvote.

As an example perhaps one would see a proposal by me to continue to act in my current position of HR Admin and a suggestion of how much DVC is being requested by me each round in DVC to do that task. The community could then up or downvote my proposal by burning DVC. If more DVC was burnt upvoting the proposal than downvoting the proposal then it would allow me to retain my position at the agreed amount of DVC each round. Anyone at any time could make a proposal to replace me in my role of HR Admin by the same means. Or perhaps someone would propose that the amount of DVC received by me each round be lowered should the price of DVC rise substantially. Anything goes.

Making a proposal should require a certain amount of DVC be burnt in the process to avoid spammers and trolls from disrupting the system.

So that is what is in my mind for reshaping, primarily, DevTome; yet it is a system that would be my preference to see employed in all proposals and rewards in the DevCoin community/ecosystem; replacing the share model for set rewards/fees/wages in DVCs. It is presented here for community discussion and feedback.

go go Devcoin!

My understanding is that there is/are exchange(s) which exchange DVC paired with BTC. Perhaps the exchanges can be found on https://devcoin.org. There are also offerings from time to time through the https://steemit.com/@devcoin account from my understanding.

P.S. Just realized that you are talking about content creation. You might find more information on https://devtome.com.

- Nova

You have my support, in this first step in the DVC relaunch, by putting yourself forward in the role of Accounting Admin. You also have my full confidence that your ideas for DVC can bring energy and focus back to the project.

Thanks for picking up the ball, Buddy!

- Nova

There is a private discussion underway, among a number of DevCoin Admins, about how to move things forward now that UTB has retired from the project. My feeling is that we can expect a proposal, to be put forward to the thread, in the very near future. A wonderful relaunching plan seems to be taking shape. Can't wait to hear it presented to the community.

- Nova

There was only the one transaction in the history.


Yes that was misleading of me. My meaning is that a transfer was sent to one of its addresses.


It happened once with a BCH wallet, then again more recently with a BTC wallet, yet it may be worth setting up a bot to create BTC wallets and keep a backup of any wallet found to have previous transfers. 

- Nova

This is the second time this has happened! Has anyone else created a new wallet only to find funds had been previously sent to the wallet's address? This happened on a BCH wallet a while ago and although mind boggling, at the chance of it happening, it was only for about $30 in BCH at the time. This time there was 0.05 BTC in a new BTC wallet created recently on my system. The BTC was sent to the address back in 2016.

Maybe there is an industry to be had at having a bot creating wallets looking for mis-transfered funds.

Being an old CLUSTER player back in the KNOTWORK BBS days, this was an interesting insight into how my trading in the game worked; something which had never occurred to me until this point.

BTW, after creating a Dwarven Paladin CrossFire character the other day his plate was mistakenly dropped. It's gone to @null like a TKC drop right?

Hopefully my posting key request will be excepted for the @devcoin account on the #STEEM blockchain, so as to continue that momentum.

- Nova

In today's blockchain technology, where a chain can carry anything from the data for a social media network to a country's land titles, any chain that has a secure network has potential worth. Thinking currency centric can hide some of a token's potential value from you, in my opinion.

#DevSTEEM On!
