Good luck! Unfortunately half way across the world.   |

Ripple could be quite versatile. As it is, with such little liquidity, not so much. But it could be very useful to exchange in and out of currencies and send them worldwide at almost no cost. With it going open source in the next month, it could be an exciting time for Ripple. |

Hey all. Just hanging out.  |

I prefer BTC-E, though I also trade on Bitstamp and occasionally Cryptsy.

Maybe because it trades like a risky penny stock. Maybe because they missed the boat.  |

You are a jr. member -- take it to the marketplace. You will probably have more luck there.

Good idea? Why not! |

Hello everyone,
I am very new to the bitcoin universe and have found that bitcointalk has the best information on the subject. Everyday I am surprised by bitcoin's continued development. I hope that with enough reading through these forums, and posting questions (eventually), I will be able to wrap my mind around the inner workings of the bitcoin.
Welcome! |

I think this will get moved to "gambling"...

Good to know I'm not the only one! |

Hey, so one of my pages was taken down -- devtome says it does not exist now, though it is still linked from my user page and "most recent". Then I can't log in. So I try to reset my password, and devtome tells me that my user name does not exist. WTF is going on?
I have no idea, I can't log on either right now. They shut down registration though, and said that may have something to do with it. Hmmm. Still having the same issues all day today. I did see the site was taken down for maintenance... |

We should find free open source content we want to paste onto the wiki, paste it there, then if any of it turns out to have been created by someone who routinely, lifestyle, spends forty hours per month creating such content, nominate them for a place on the list of devcoin recipients.
-MarkM-
That would make article-developers who are working specifically on developing articles for devtome just like any other developers who are spending ten hours a month OR MORE on devcoin projects.
-MarkM-
What you're suggesting isn't really for devcoin projects, or devtome, though... right? And how does this encourage adoption? In the context of this discussion, I think adoption is crucial to think about. A wiki is user-generated, community-oriented. What you're suggesting -- not so much. If there is a way to up the quality standards in an objective way, I'm all for that. And a cap lower than 80 would help to weed out some the fly-by-nighters and would be beneficial to all shareholders, I think. Penalizing new users with a lower cap, though, discourages new users from joining while encouraging older users to churn out those words, knowing that their own shares won't be diluted by newcomers. |

Do you think your 5000 words are worth more than, say, 5000 lines of code by FellowTraveller that let us do finances for all the many sub-projects we are still hoping to be able to launch?
-MarkM-
Perhaps not. You obviously place a higher value on code than writing. What I'm saying is -- a lot of people don't necessarily feel that way. And if devcoin is ever going to get anywhere, it needs to reach masses of people that don't know dick about coding. |

Authors should be a kind of developer, they develop free open source writings.
So, like other developers, whether they are developing free open source hardware or free open source software or whatever else, they should be getting similar pay, one would imagine.
We're playing with semantics here, though. What you're suggesting is that people ought to be paid equally for similar amounts of work -- I get that, and I generally agree. However, I have to reiterate the importance at this time, IMO, of distributing coins outside of the hands of developers -- meaning coders, programmers. If there is ever going to be a real economy, it has to reach outside of this small technology-oriented niche. Until there exists an economy, devtome is the single most important thing to devcoin, IMO. |

Arguably, devtome might be a really important thing the project needs, so maybe a twelve share bounty would be justified to have a devtome exist.
Going out on a limb, we could even imagine devtome is so insanely important that each and every month it deserves a bounty, provided it does, uh, something. Brings in so many new authors and/or so many words of new writing, maybe? Something.
[...]
Paying authors even more than that just for any more-than-12 kilowords just adds insult to injury, not only offering people pathetic pay to do a huge project launch but also paying way the heck more than that to "authors" for the short stories they wrote in gradeschool or whatever the heck else they feel like posting.
Considering the state of devcoin, what importance would you place on devtome in regards to adoption? Certainly, coins need to get in the hands of non-developers. I'd posit that this is actually quite important to the survival of the coin. You can't create an economy by circulating coins around the same small niche of people. Also, I haven't browsed the site enough to say myself... but you seem to indicate that everyone is publishing only grade-school level crap. Is that really the case? If one were to publish high quality content, does this change anything, or is it still "insult to injury"? |
