As for Cryptsy, it seems parts of it are working fine. You can still send deposits and those go through fine. You can use your BTC to buy and withdraw many altcoins (hence their high price relative to other exchanges), and then you can move out the altcoins. The DVC price was at the level it's at now before Cryptsy started having its issues and the price hasn't gone down since. If a different exchange traded in DVC, then I suspect its Cryptsy price would also be inflated. I got off Vircurex quite a while ago, and had forgotten they were even still online, because I started encountering more and more hiccups with deposits and withdrawals and I worried that they might be Goxing. With Cryptsy, I think they are having genuine issues and they are genuinely working to mitigate them, but their poor PR and communication is making matters worse and leading to FUD, etc.
Cryptsy was hacked, or an insider job, whatever, at least according to rumors I've heard. There's an article allegedly about cryptsy http://forums.prohashing.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=655&p=2477 . I have coins I'm unable to withdraw from there and my support tickets get closed. Now they don't even respond to them. Playing with fire if you deposit coins there. Strongly advise don't do it. If anyone couldn't see this coming, I'm not sure what to say. I wiped my Cryptsy balances about a month ago when a flood of reports started coming out about not being able to withdraw. If people didn't heed that warning and know something was about to happen... well, this is going to happen again. You'd think people would have learned from Mt. Gox,  . I contacted someone here. What you should do is contact Open Ledger so that DVC can be traded on a decentralized exchange. It's win win because Open Ledger needs the liquidity and DVC needs an exchange which is resilient. There is also Metaexchange to contact. https://www.openledger.info/https://metaexchange.info/Open Ledger is a p2p exchange? but i thought is needed to go through bitshares, i mean it have not direct exchange dvc/btc it can be a little embarrasing for no technical users It's a P2P exchange which goes through Bitshares 2.0. Bitshares 2.0 is not like Bitshares 1.0. I guess their marketing isn't very good or is non-existent which is why no one knows it's even a decentralized exchange. You can do direct exchanges through Metaexchange which is based on Bitshares 2.0 also. Try Metaexchange and see for yourself. https://metaexchange.info/markets/ETH/BTChttps://metaexchange.info/markets/NXT/BTCAs for centralization, depending on the asset it can be completely decentralized or not but the way it works is you have IOU assets like OpenBTC, TradeBTC, etc, which represent Bitcoin on the Bitshares Blockchain. This allows Open Ledger and Metaexchange to both trade real Bitcoin on their exchanges. The risk is in the fact that you're dealing with IOUs but this is currently how centralized exchanges or Ripple does things, it's always with IOUS. The Gateways redeem the IOUs for the actual tokens when people cash out. It's decentralized based on the fact that there is multisig control of the IOUs like OpenBTC, TradeBTC, etc. It's not centralized, so there is no website you can take down to take all the IOUs out of the system. If Metaexchange goes down you'd still be able to trade on Open Ledger or anything else. It's about as decentralized at this time and still maintain the functions of an exchange. You can directly trade BTC for DVC on Bitcointalk but you can't do it from an exchange interface and you'd have to trust that person. On Bitshares you're indirectly doing it because you're exchanging OpenBTC, TradeBTC, etc, in exchange for OpenDVC, TradeDVC, etc, which are IOUs which all get redeemed at withdraw. Your risk is that the multisig accounts which control the pool of BTC and DVC can be compromised but ownership is decentralized. Even ownership of Metaexchange and Open Ledger is decentralized by Meta fee shares and oBits. I don't know much about these two exchanges but from what you say it sounds like a good idea to get DVC on there. It's good to have multiple options, so that if one exchange has problems it's easy to just move over to another one. |

Holy Moses!!! I just pop in here once in a while to check for news. And now.... THIS. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cloudmining is reopening, an auction of legendary diamonds, new plans for the future that needs funding. This is exactly what I have been waiting for. A new era for DMD. Thank you Dev Team! I will be with you all the way. Of course I want to support the future plans for DMD Of course I want to contribute to the success of DMD Of course I want to invest in my own future Of course I want to be legendary and bid on one of the diamonds (I like diamonds ) Of course I want to be part of something big in the crypto world Unfortunately my time is limited as my work involves a lot of travelling. But I will contribute with funds. All this sounds very exciting and I'm looking forward to follow DMD into the future. AB (original from DMD Diamond Forum https://bit.diamonds/community/index.php/topic,97.msg1020.html#msg1020 ) thx for positive feedback! thats what fuel our engine to move on for DMD Great news! Especially for those of us who have more time than money |

[Sigh]
Meanwhile, on Cryptsy . . .
changed the password on one of my Cr. accounts yesterday. Got the 'Yup. Done!' message. But now locked out. (No funds in it.)
78 wallets down at this second -- 2 less than yesterday.
But . . . just tried moving Dnotes on to and off Cryptsy. Wham! Three minutes each way.
It looks like their upgrade a few hours ago was successful. DNotes seemed to be working fine. Unfortunately, I still have not received two withdrawals at .1 BTC each sent to two separate accounts on 12/10/15. I am curious to know if anyone successfully withdrew BTC from Cryptsy the last 7 days. Not me. I'm still waiting for a withdrawal request from over a week ago to process. They closed the ticket about it, too, which I thought was bad form. I'm sure they are making progress on their technical stuff, but it's almost as if they are trying to alienate their customers through lousy customer relations. My understanding is that the developers who are working on the back end are not communicating much of any relevant information to the support staff, so the support staff can't tell us anything when they answer our tickets. Like I said, it's like they're *trying* to do everything all wrong on the customer service side. Edit: No Twitter update about the recent upgrade either. Yet another bad choice. So... if you're looking to launch something amazing in the crypto world, just look at how Cryptsy handles PR and customer service and *don't* do that! |

Thank you very much everybody for responses - feel free to keep them coming.
I have just over 24 hours to get all the main points written down (at least) and hopefully rough script ironed out so that the video guys can plan shooting locations and shots based on the scripts content - but I have long shifts every day this week because it's Xmas season and that means busy!! Luckily Saturday is my last day (forever), and I can film any sunny day beyond that.
Correct language is important in marketing, so I will have a few days beyond this to made edits to the script.
** The Fed raised rates... patiently waits to see effect**
Let me know if you want me to take a look at any of the scripts. Always happy to make suggestions, though I'm not as familiar with "marketing language." Hey Wiser, appreciate your support for the videos, are you interested in writing a couple articles for DCEBrief? Everyone loved your write ups on CryptoMoms. Actually, I am, and have two in mind, but I just haven't written them yet. I also want to get back on CryptoMoms. I just had the craziest last few months. I keep thinking things will slow down... hopefully in time for Christmas LOL. |

Pardon my technical ignorance, but why would Devcoin need to be forked just to have it working the way it used to work? I mean, at one time (and for a long time) it was working just fine from the technical perspective. What changed and why has it been nonfunctional for so long?
Hey Wiser, the big problem we have is that essential services are being run by people who just have no interest in keeping them ticking, and don't respond when you try to get them to do their job. I suspect a falling price has a lot to do with that, along with lackluster leadership. I take responsibility for my part, but there's nothing I can do about the price. Devtome was great, but it was a black hole. It never even close to paid for itself, and the price whittled away, making it even harder to get people to make an effort. Even moving the site into other's hands has proven futile, and now it's in no mans land. I'm still trying to get this working again, and the last communication I received was that there was progress. My share proposal was too little too late, as the damage to the coin was already done. The unlimited shares devtome could earn meant developers ran for the hills. To add to that, both of the only exchanges that deal with dvc have both recently stopped working. Cryptsy hasn't sent out btc for a month according to the forums, and Vircurex hasn't been processing deposits for a while apparently. I'm more than happy to step aside and let someone else take charge if they believe they can turn this ship around. The only reason I could think of to fork devcoins would be to decentralize everything. Absolutely nothing that relies on one person alone to do their job. I believe the key to that problem lies in DACs - Distributed Autonomous Corporations, and the only thing holding that back, as far as I can see, are that domain registrars don't allow domain purchases via API *and* bitcoins yet. HB Thanks for the explanation, HB. I wasn't particularly asking about the price--I realize that is largely out of our control, though I can see it having an effect on the motivation of admins. A fork that would decentralize things more sounds like a good idea. It seems human beings are the weak link in a crypto system. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. PM me and I can give you my email address. Otherwise, please keep posting updates here. This thread seems to work the best for that purpose. As for Cryptsy, it seems parts of it are working fine.

Excellent TeeGee! One thing that keeps coming to mind, Sustainability. As I watch projects in our industry pop up I find myself thinking how is that project sustainable. Get funding, create or start a product, run out of money. We are creating a pathway that will allow us to be here for the long term and be able to support the DNotes ecosystem long term by creating this revenue generating company and by not pushing forward prematurely and before we are ready. This may or may not be appropriate for this video.
+1 on sustainability. |

That was SOME reactor payout! |

This is AWESOME! Providing value beyond the coin itself is going to be what sets DNotes apart from the competition. |

info dmd multipool / dmd cloudmining
as long as bittrex sellorders stay over 10% below cryptsy sellorderprices
i will run manual conversions towards dmd utilize bittrex
Thanks! That's going above and beyond, and it's much appreciated |

Any updates on the Devtome issue that was brought up here several weeks ago?
Now as far as I'm aware. I feel like DVC is in a black hole right now, and TBH, I'm not even sure how to (technically-wise) pull out of it anymore. There have been great ideas tossed around over the past many months, but nothing has been put into action due to inability to or other things. I feel like it may be worth setting up a sort of "round table" of sorts, with a new domain/setup/etc. to start anew (not the coin, but things like the forums and Devtome), to push forward the ideas people have had for resurrecting it. I'd be up for that. In the mean time, I am still getting some DVC because I do a few little things admin-wise. I was hoping to write some more, but last I checked I can't update my invoice page or some of my previously published pages. |

I just LOVE it when someone launches a coin and then goes and hides under a rock indefinitely.
With all the competition among altcoins these days, any coin that's really a one man show should be avoided.

This is an interesting article explaining why a disruptive technology takes a long time to go mainstream and why block chain technology still has a ways to go. One thing the author didn't delve into too much is working out the bugs involved with scaling up (Cryptsy, anyone?). http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-decade-away-mainstream/We're all early adopters. |

Look what I found in my inbox this morning!So I'm on a number of email lists (they do seem to multiply) for these self proclaimed "wealth advisers" and guess what this one is recommending (of course once you buy whatever product he's trying to sell) we do to get rich. http://research.lfb.org/research/html/shi_bitcoin_1115?code=LSHIRC31&n=SHI_bitcoin_1115There's a lot of hype and the information is not all entirely accurate. Still, I think it's a sign that blockchain technology and currencies are starting to catch on...

The atmosphere on Cryptsy chat is pretty serious. Users are actively seeking coins to bolt with. I just made a withdrawal of 90 NOTE.*
And my Dnotes wallet will shortly be synched, ready to receive the withdrawal if it happens.
So, any Dnoter who establishes that Dnotes can still be pulled from Cryptsy may reasonably go on the chat there, and say so.
Mark
EDIT: came through in literally five minutes. Have posted on Cryptsy chat.
*I bailed on Cryptsy a fortnight ago, but I had enough scraps left to get hold of 90 NOTE.
Getting DNotes in and out of Cryptsy does not seem to be an issue. However, I made two withdrawals at .1 BTC each over two days ago and have not received them. I wish them well but find it difficult to accept that they are working hard to resolve a technical issue. At a minimum, they are handling damage control poorly. I hope it's not more than that. Yes, the vague "we're dealing with technical issues" is stretching credibility after having gone on for weeks. I currently have a pending BTC withdrawal that's almost 24 hours old. The last one took about 36 hours. I figured I'd take my chances so we'll see if I ever get it. Most alt-coins are withdrawing fine, hence the premium on their price. EDIT: on the bright side, Big Vern finally posted some kind of update (with promises to post more updates). Maybe we should all tweet back and suggest they contact Alan to help with reputation building  |
