[DVC] What happened to Devcoin leadership!

[markm]

For individuals the simplest way to peek into it is to point a Crossfire-RPG client at CrossCiv.no-ip.org and take care to create a non-fantasy character so that one can get into the Galactic Milieu instead of ending up in the Fantasy milieu.

Usually there are a few people who hang out there 24/7 like one does on IRC so that when someone wakes up and checks their client they can see someone new is logged on and if within earshot of them as it were they can also see what questions they have asked them while they were away from keyboard.

Even though newly created characters start with a few scraps of clothing weapons food and such we still take the risk of that kind of "creation of gear out of nothing" upsetting the economy on that scale, unlike in the web-based intergalactic mining colonies system in which entire massively expensive colony ships get sent out in "back time" as new players join, creating entire massively expensive mining colonies out of nothing without anyone having to have built the colony ship etc. Any game systems that create that much stuff out of nothing as random passers-by on the web pretend they want to play then never log back in again we have to keep closed against random signups else the whole economies concept is blown from the start. We have to have people start with as close to nothing as possible and earn resources with which to create stuff, or pour in funds of some kind so that stuff can be bought for them from existing stockpiles / production.

As it is, all the small gear in the CrossCiv server needs to be virtually worthless so that someone spending all day or night starting new characters piling up their gear then deleting the characters cannot instantly upset the entire economy.

(Even if the characters started naked and empty-handed they are made of meat or other ingredients/stuff so just creating one character able to kill the next umpteen you make and butcher them into parts could create free stuff, so unless there is some charge to create a character we might as well allow them to be clothed and have a few items and just assume however much you could make by spawing umpteen characters is not really any easier or more effective than other simple unskilled work one could do with one character.)

I was not aware that Dash was in the business of supporting free open source projects. Can you provide links to its documentation about how it supports such things, as even if folks continue to get support from DeVCoin if there are other coins that also support such things I am sure they would be interested.

How and where do free open source projects apply for support from Dash? What are the criteria a project must meet to receive such support? Etc...

While we keep waiting for Devcoin leaders to show up here and renew our hope, I want to take a moment and wish everyone in Devcoin community a profitable 2016.

Enjoy your holidays!

The way you write, you sound like you're in charge of the project. Do I have the honour of responding to the General Holding Corp head man?

The main contractor they get to do the actual work, basically. General Holding Corp acts as a buffer and accumulator and funds-storage between the actual expenses of hosting and developing, which is the pittance currently neded to keep machines online, and the prices the civilisations pay, which from the outset has been set up to be enough that if we already had all the worlds mapped out in three-dimensional virtual reality the fees are enough to cover all that.

I am Digitalis Data Services, a sole proprietorship which charges General Holding Corp tiny amounts for the hosting and such because right now we don't actually have hundreds of millions of players all online at once wandering around in full-blown virtual reality.

General Holding Corp is dominated by the large nations who pay the huge fees to have vast numbers of "square miles" according to the Freeciv representations of planets and have entire currencies of their own which General Holding Corp accepts to pay those fees.

But I am also basically the "Gamemaster" of the whole game too, which I suppose in some ways does kind of put me above all the Corps and Nations and the entities which compose them.

I am in charge of the Galactic Milieu project, but part of the job of a Gamemaster is to try to put players in control as much as possible of stuff within the games such as Nations and Corps and so on.

Okay, thanks.

@MarkM, your proposal so far is the only one with a game plan and you also have the infrastructure to support it. I mean, why not to try it?

Btw, perhaps is because of holidays but I'm getting a bit impatience for the lack of response from the community, only a handful of people appeared in this thread the last few weeks. Well for those who think Devcoin is death, for the rest I'm here open to proposals and ready to take action!

[BitcoinNational]

no need to read co9mments above.
gut check opiniojn on what DVC ought be:

bitcoin foundation >>> devs programming 24/7; THUS fund;

other than that it was a boondoggle and bonus check for anyone-SHA256-uber-farmers on an MM pool
project = fail; loop if thus far(Fail);

reorganization = NEEDED;

ELSE IF (1) >> move to next level;

[develCuy]

Lack of response from Devcoin leadership is a bit disappointing, I think it is time to start a revolution, anyone willing to join?

[markm]

We should try to find out what level of access is needed to address the Devtome problems, as in do we need the domain pointed somewhere else we control, or can the controller of the machine the domain currently points to do something, or is it merely a matter of a username on the machine needing to be controlled by someone new who will actually fix the problems, or what?

It has been months waiting for a solution, waiting, waiting, waiting. All we got is that someone contacts someone else and there is no response back. If we keep waiting nothing will happen. That is why I'm calling for a revolution!

[wiser]

OK, adding this thread to my watch list.

+, FWIW, I'd love to see it be resurrected. It was an awesome run for a long time, and it'd be great to see it come back as strong as ever.

Good vibe @ranlo! A few of us are discussing an action plan, anyone willing to help please PM me.

CONCLUTION

1. @Hunterbunter was right! several leaders "just have no interest in keeping them ticking, and don't respond when you try to get them to do their job." (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.msg13277774#msg13277774)
2. We have to fix things by ourselves!

Everyone is welcome to help fix things in this new thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1317408

Please help! Do it for the people that is still believe!

Thanks!

After getting a bounce notice on the DevCoin Mailing List, it came to my attention that the list was not sending to my currently used email address and missed the Jan 6th notice of this thread. Have read through and will now monitor it.

Ya the beauty of decentralized coins huh LOL

I wonder how many coins Shakezulu got paid for writing his Scrypt coin cloning guide ? (not the SHA256 one)

Maybe it's dead for a reason

FYI - the guide spoken of here is the same guide co-creator of Dogecoin "Billy Markus" admitted to using to create the first Dogecoin software. Food for thought.

Dashcoin is more popular, you can switch to Dash. Dashcoin have many users, transactions are very fast, also mining is fast 

All the upcoming coins have the same popularity strength i we all know swapping the existing coin to Dashcoin their is no changes what matters is the market regulations and market strength of the coin, i think we have to check exactly the coin that can accept it swap that is of high recognition than Dashcoin, but i did not say Dashcoin is bad or is not good suggestion but the popularity strength does not reach any where it still unknown to many people

It looks like this thread's activity moved on to the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1317408

I am "bumping" this thread by posting this post though because the whole DeVCoin / Galactic Milieu field is so large that old threads such as this one are probably very relevant today as background reading for people who might not have even realised DeVcoin and the Galactic Milieu even exist...

An occupational hazard, it seems, of lucrative projects that don't "need" a constant influx of new users - basically projects that are not ponzi schemes thus really don't live or die on how much "hype" their users manage to generate - is that over time, in venues where ponzi scheme hype scrolls all the threads into the past very rapidly, they trend towards no-one left in the venue who still mentions them from time to time.
