Hey guys I am thinking about making a website for selling gift cards for devcoins. Is there any suggestion of cards or other things you want to be featured on the website?
-AM

There are already a couple of gift card sites - I don't mean to discourage you - but it would be cool to sell something we don't have a store for yet Smiley

EDIT: Dev coffee would be kind of awesome (writers and coders drink lots of coffee!). I know that a btc coffee website does quite well Wink

Also - if you wanted to set up a serious service, a proxy buying service like http://bitsumo.com for DVC would be really, really awesome.

I kinda already have the proxy buying service covered by my including of Cardpool in the Devcoin Store ( http://www.devcoinstore.com ).

If you buy a Cardpool gift card, you can then use it to buy whatever gift card they offer on the site. Some of them are digital but most of the cards are sent to your house with free shipping.

They are basically a service were they give you cash for less than the face value of the gift cards you don't want and then resell them to other people.

Only have one $10 up right now but I if I think they give you an extra $5 on your first order if you use my link (no guarantees)

This only works in the United States.

I know it isn't exactly a proxy buying service but it is kinda close. Smiley

Devcoin has been mentioned in a Wired article http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-01/13/dogecoin-and-the-era-of-personal-currency

EDIT: Time to reopen the Devcoin page on Wikipedia - I can't believe they deleted it we had just as many refs as most of the other alt coins - what a joke!




Cool! just a couple of articles such as this one could have people all over the place asking questions about Devcoins.

I think the lack of exposure of what Devcoin is and what it is about could easily be taken care of by the end of the year with some timely articles by a few major news outlets. Maybe an admin that is dedicated to being the media and/blog point-of-contact would be in order.

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to raise awareness of Devcoin would be to go the guest post route on financial blogs. If you check out the Money Crashers list of person finance blogs (below) many of them allow guest posts.

http://www.moneycrashers.com/top-personal-finance-blogs/

One would simply need to contact the owners of the blogs and ask if they can submit a unique article about Devcoins and/or Devtome. Most blogs are usually hungry for new contact and will gladly accept your offer as long as your request email doesn't look spammy. The key factor about guest posting is that the guest poster never has to pay money for it. The blog owner gets new (and free) content and the guest poster is allowed two or three links links back to their blog, Facebook page and/or a Wiki such as Devtome.


I am using my personal finance blog that I co-run with a couple of other people (below) as an example because most are set up in a similar fashion.

http://www.moneyandpotatoes.com

We have a write for us link across the top of the blog and we do get almost daily requests for guest blog posting. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the requests are of the spammy variety and they never get posted on the blog. However, we have had several valid ones that were published and they provided our blog with some good content.

The key to getting this accomplished would be someone having the ability to write about Devcoin/Devtome from several different angles and always coming up with what amounts to roughly 90% new content with each article.

It might also help to have a PDF type press packet that is tied to a domain so a link could be provided to the blog owners so that they can quickly and easily see what Devcoin is about.

I'm coordinating the marketing / press of Devcoin at the moment with monthly ad campaigns and press releases (which perhaps is how Wired heard about us). The biggest outlets we've been on from these is The Wall Street Journal and Yahoo Finance.

I would like to give you 6 shares next month - for you to put the above into action.

Would you like to do it? And are there any objections from anyone here?

Yeah, I would be willing to give it a shot for a month and see how it goes.


Great! Well if no one objects you'll get 6 shares next month to try and arrange guest posts on the blogs at http://www.moneycrashers.com/top-personal-finance-blogs/ If you get one (or more) I'll help you with the article(s) Wink

We can also work on a press kit in PDF format to be hosted at devcoin.org - great idea.

I already have a standing invitation to swap guest posts on another personal finance blog (http://cashcowcouple.com/) but haven't answered them in a couple of weeks. I just sent them an email asking them if they still want to swap guest posts. I have one short article already mostly completed about alt-coin speculation that is a little generic but mentions Devcoin more than others.

If you want to do an article on something along the lines of how to make money writing on Devtome that meets the criteria of what we have on Money and Potatoes ( http://www.moneyandpotatoes.com/write-for-us/ )... I can guarantee that it will be published. Smiley

Just mention in your bio that you are regular contributor to the Devtome Wiki and be sure not to post the article on this forum (but I am sure you already know that.)


Great! Well as I have the power to assign a small number of shares for marketing purposes - you will get 6 next month to contact all the blogs at http://www.moneycrashers.com/top-personal-finance-blogs/  and ask for guest posts Smiley Please PM me with your DVC address which can accept generated Devcoin shares (a wallet on your computer).

I've noticed Heavy covers many different cryptocurrencies (http://www.heavy.com/tech/2013/12/dogecoin-what-is-shibe-cryptocurrenc/) so I have contacted them about doing a write up about Devcoin.

In re to guest posting on your blog - does your blog get a lot of traffic?

The blog usually gets about 175 - 250 hits a day, so not a ton of traffic but it is read and quickly indexed by Google.

Sorry, just saw how blunt that reads. My flatmate waited patiently for me to finish the last post and I was in a hurry to respond to yours before I left the computer. i didn't mean to be so rude tho.

I think the idea sounds great, my only question would be, is this a US thing or can we bring Australia in too?


US, UK, Australia, and all other nations which we reside within!

I actually reside in the great nation of Texas, just throwing that out there. Smiley

The easiest way for Devcoin to have its moment in the sun will be through people talking about it or having a little buzz. We should come up with an ongoing bounty that could get people talking. An easy way to do this would be to allow a certain amount of shares per round to go towards a charitable cause. It could be St Jude's Children's Hospital or something else that has a name that is known nationwide.

Which nation?

Oh sorry, I was referring to St Jude's in America.

But it could work in any nation..

No worries,

Dev's in the toilet guys, how come it lost half its value in the last 2 weeks?

It's still up 200% from what it was 2 months ago, I believe.

Devcoins are different to other crypto-currencies, as the way they're earned is a bit different. With normal cryptocurrencies, the cost of a bitcoin/litecoin etc is the electricity used to mine them, plus hardware capital recovery. With devcoins, the cost of mining is piggy-backed on bitcoin mining - it's almost nothing, but the cost of earning generational shares is rent, food, etc. People who earn devcoins are applying their creative output instead of a purely mechanized process (much more expensive), so it's natural to expect a steady draw of coins as people get paid for the open-source work they do, to pay for what they need to live, etc. The only long term inputs to the price, are; long term speculators, advertising revenue, and philanthropist injection, and combined they have to put in as much as people are taking out to keep the price steady at any rate. I think people should be free to withdraw their coins as they see fit, to pay for what they need to live (just as miners need to withdraw to mine another day). The spread strategy is a good one for personal gain, but the market cost comes in the form of resistance against a price rise, and a rising price is what attracts more developers, just like a rising price is what attracts more bitcoin miners.

In my opinion, there are only a few ways that devcoins will ever have of actually becoming valuable (for savers/holders/speculators):

 - The work that those earning devcoins do is impressive. Like seriously impressive enough for people to want to throw cash at it.
 - A large number of people make the effort to earn devcoins. More coins in more hands mean more market penetration, and more chance of impressive work being created.
 - Everyone talks about it and why they're different to all the other coins, attracting a crowd not typically or particularly interested in crypto-currency - this is key.

The last one is the big one, as the other two are partially linked to price. People need a point of difference to understand the importance of any product in a marketplace, and the devcoin angle is not an especially easy one to like when considering wealth storage, which is the going thing for most alt-coins. It's a terrible store of wealth! But it's a truly great idea for humankind. It's an actual, ethical currency that has a purpose beyond "mine and hold", so it's appeal actually has to reach a different set of people than those who are interested in bitcoin/altcoin mining/holding. Devcoins need to find the ears of wealthy people who think open source is vitally important to the future of humankind, because their input is what is essentially going to pay for it. Devcoins give people like this the mechanism to help every human. Advertising revenue will increase with quality of work.

So for now we're building the base through which the others that follow us will benefit, and I think realizing why devcoins are so different is key to it's success.

With the effort I am putting into making the android wallet I hope it pays off... we will be able to make payments using mobile's and use QR codes to make payments from/to mobile wallets or an online application. You can use NFC to make payments to another mobile wallet by simply pointing and paying. Imagine telling store owners they can compete with starbucks style payment mechanisms with one that is better and supports point and click payment without the need for customized equipment for that payment thingamajig.

The easiest way for Devcoin to have its moment in the sun will be through people talking about it or having a little buzz. We should come up with an ongoing bounty that could get people talking. An easy way to do this would be to allow a certain amount of shares per round to go towards a charitable cause. It could be St Jude's Children's Hospital or something else that has a name that is known nationwide. After the donation is made, then do a PR about the charitable donation.

There might also be a way to sell items on ebay with all proceeds earmarked for charity.

I have a general question about getting marketing shares on Devtome...

If you have a website or websites with links to Devtome, do you get the shares one time or are they each round as long as the sites are still up? I ask because last round my shares for marketing were 12/5 but they are 0/0 so far this round.

I'm now offering 1000 / 1500 DVC to each person who votes to add DVC / BTC to Cryptsy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408884

EDIT: if anyone wants to donate DVC to help keep this alive (or so I can increase the reward - I want 1000 people voting for it on Cryptsy) 1M8A5WqBuQYU8yBfWeEp9jZTMzCfHxv5Bg

FWIW, Cryptsy used to do DVC/BTC. Now they do XPM/BTC and LTC/BTC. I'm not sure why they removed the BTC link though.

I just tried Crypsy for the first time today and haven't been very impressed so far....

My intital deposit of just a few thousand Devcoins took a few hours to show up in my acccount.

When I was attempting to enter some trades, some of them would show up immediately and others would not.

However, I guess that I am going to stick around because of the closeness of the DVC/LTC trading pairs compared to other sites.

Bittzy78

Yes Cryptsy has issues - but the trade volume there is huge and having DVC / BTC trading there will only strengthen Devcoin.

They are working hard to fix these issues too - and you will always get your coins eventually.

I can only imagine the sheer volume of angry emails they must get with users demanding action on their missing coins. It seems like it would be easier to fix the bug that keeps incoming deposits from showing up than dealing with the angry customers.

I've made another deposit to my Crypsy account and after about 12 hours there is neither hide nor hair of it. Sad


My mistake - DVC deposits to Cryptsy seem to have become worse over the last few days Sad

The coins will get there eventually - I'm waiting on one myself for over 48 hours.

They could use that as a slogan ...

"Crypsy - Your coins will get to your account eventually"

or

"Crypsy - We are glitchy but you no bitchy"

just simply DONT USE craptsy...

The trade volume there on DVC / LTC is huge.

It has its problems - but it is also the largest cryptocurrency exchange out there.

I agree. That's free market for you.

All the wrongdoings and problems that appear with cryptsy give other developers the opportunity to create a better exchange and grab market share away from cryptsy.

It will sort itself out sooner or later. :-)

I hope that CEX.IO decides to expand their trading and allow more alt coins to be traded.

Their platform rocks...

I made a Devcoin Faucet Smiley

It gives out 0.001% of the faucet's balance to new adopters. Please make some donations; I have less than 100 DVC.
I just sent you 2500 Devcoins to get the faucet going. We need about 8 more of these sites. Smiley
Bittzy78

I checked it out, will send back anything that I get but I did have one concern. When you enter your details, you are then directed too a page with a link to "get more" which returns you to the first page and allows you to enter details again. I did  this 3 times to check and it seems very open to possible abuse?

Just commenting, not meaning to criticise. I couldn't build a devcoin faucet Cheesy

Abuse is possible, but highly unlikely. Very few people will spend the whole day solving captchas to get a couple coins. They'll most likely end up looking for information to mine them.

For example, check my Dogecoin faucet. The reward is 0.01 DOGE per use and it has a minimum withdraw threshold of 5 DOGE (the transaction fees are huge and the donations nonexistent). Only 7 people have reached that during the last week. The Devcoin faucet gives now about 0.45 DVC per use. If we extrapolate, that means there might be at most one person each day on average who gets 0.45*500=225DVC (and that's very generous, since DVC is not as popular as DOGE). It would take about 200 days for the faucet to dry at that pace.

Thanks to those who have donated to the faucet.


Ok, I had a good laugh after I clicked on your link for the  Bernankoin Printer.

That was pretty funny... Grin

read from the bottom up , i have fought of a lot of scammers with the same reply most get shut down by ebay when you report them as soon as soon as they try it on you and say they did not receive.i dont refund them i keep their payment and report them as a scam buyer the second i know.

http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_block_explorer

go to the link above ..  look on any of the block explorers you can see the address you gave me in the blockchain , the amount i sent and the fee it cost me to keep this network running smoothly . this is proof i sent them .
not only that ,the system is fool proof the network confirms the transaction constantly and as of now i see 23 confirmations from different computers that it has indeed been sent . nobody can deny that !!!!

how can you say i did not send it when it is an open source transaction that everyone can see LOL
 you must be real stupid or somthing .....

really dont bother trying to scam me you should just accept the coins i have sent and walk away, they will be worth a lot of money soon enough .
i dont want to hear from you again unless it is for an apology.

Dear jasont4671,

If you not send me now, sure I'll go for refund along with negative feedback for you.


Man, all of this is starting to make me rethink selling on ebay. Smiley

I am going to give it a try and see how it goes. My sales are limited to the United States and Canada but I know that really doesn't mean much. If it doesn't work out, I will just try something else.

I am attempting to spread the Devcoin love a little by finding a way to sell on ebay that complies with their terms. I had some success a few days ago selling Devcoins and sending them directly to the buyers wallets, but I found out that I was violating ebay selling policies.

 It seems the only way around their rules is to physically send a buyer something in the mail with tracking. So, I am going to try the CEX.IO voucher code route and just send it to my buyers with the code on a certificate.


Selling devcoins on eBay is good for publicity, the ads reach a lot of people. I don't believe that selling digital currency is violating eBay policy though, but PayPal won't provide any protection unless something physical is delivered. Buyers on eBay are looking for an easy quick entry point into currency.

If it's of interest to you I wrote about my experiences selling digital goods on eBay at http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=selling_digital_currency_on_ebay_or_by_paypal



Yeah, I have decided to go the route of only doing small transactions and only sending the buyer a physical certificate that must be redeemed on CEX.IO. I know this doesn't guarantee protection for me but given the low Devcoin price and some buying restrictions I have in place, it might mitigate my possible damages.

I haven't sold many so far but I bet there are several people who now know about Devcoin who didn't just a few days ago.

I made a Devcoin Faucet Smiley

It gives out 0.001% of the faucet's balance to new adopters. Please make some donations; I have less than 100 DVC.
I just sent you 2500 Devcoins to get the faucet going. We need about 8 more of these sites. Smiley

I checked it out, will send back anything that I get but I did have one concern. When you enter your details, you are then directed too a page with a link to "get more" which returns you to the first page and allows you to enter details again. I did  this 3 times to check and it seems very open to possible abuse?

Just commenting, not meaning to criticise. I couldn't build a devcoin faucet Cheesy

i sent you some also, i will spread the word nice work  jasont

just put a link to the devcoin faucet in all my ebay adds. also how do you get an advert onto the devcoin faucet ? can you get a slot for donating to it ?

I am attempting to do a store that just accepts nothing but Devcoins (http://www.DevcoinStore.com) and hope people take notice of it during the next few months. I am simply doing it the old fashioned way without any coding experience needed.

With everyone working as hard as they are getting Devcoin going...the sky could be the limit by the end of the year. Smiley

If you want to advertise on this faucet (http://faucet.d.evco.in/) , you simply need to start an ad campaign on coin URL (https://coinurl.com/) and it will appear there eventually.

If you want to advertise on this faucet (http://www.thebitcoinmaster.com/devcoin/index.php ) you should probably just contact the owner and see if he is allowing advertising.
