Devtome: Get Hundreds of Thousands of free Devcoins for writing

[FinShaggy]

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

If you ever want to make the coins you have stashed more valuable, what you need to do is this:

When you earn your coins (let's say 5,000,000) save 1 million in a wallet. Sell 4 million to make money. Then spend the money from 2 million of those coins, to buy 1 million coins at 2x the price. Now your coins are more valuable

So basically you are telling people to collude and build value just like a Pyramid or Ponzi scheme. Ok, got it. Seems honest and a great idea for a coin that is a developer effort.  

This is how the market works, sorry if you don't like watching economics happen.

Buy low, sell high.
(Buy all the cheap stocks, Sell when the price goes up)

I do have a question - how does the script know what DVC address to send coins to?

You have to put it in your invoice.

This is the page the script looks at for each person (You can see yours by clicking your name at the top of Devtome after you log in)

I have a question:

On http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=how_to_get_setup_earning_devcoins_by_writing , it says:
"4. Write your articles and reference your work on your userpage

Now you are ready to write and article, go to the url of the title of your article; so if your article is on the precious metal Gold go o the url http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=Gold and create the page with your article. Now every original source of text you can reference in your userpage by adding the following line to your userpage under the Original section

*[[:Gold]] - Source: Original
"
but what if I am writing about something that is not about such a concrete topic (such as a vacation I once took or an imaginary pet I once had). Instead of writing it under the link "http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=Gold", what would I change the "Gold" to?

Thanks

Whatever you name it.

If you write about a vacation and call it "The Escape to Hawaii" or something, just do *[[:The Escape to Hawaii]] - Source: Original

Thanks and last question:
In that case, would the link be: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=The_Escape_to_Hawaii    ?

Yeah, should be

How long does it take FuzzyBear to approve you? And does he message you, or send an email? Have written my first article (a long post about economics), but am not sure how and when to post it.

I'm not sure, when I joined we messaged Jasinlee. But now is says to message Fuzzy Bear.

To post an article you have to edit another page, then add your topic with [[ ]] around it. So if you want write about Lettuce, you edit a page and somewhere put [[Lettuce]].

That will create a link to a new page, then you click edit on that page and write about lettuce.

[FinShaggy]

FuzzyBear seems to be ignoring PM's, despite him coming online multiple times in the past 2 days. I hope this article that I written doesn't go to waste :S

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=58607

He probably just has TONS of articles to go through.

I'm going to see if I can help in the process.

Well I logged into devtome and couldn't see where I could edit, so I guess the administrator hasn't approved me.

Will hold onto my article for a couple of days, and then perhaps post it somewhere else...

The "edit" button will just be the word "edit" at the very bottom right of a section, or at the top of a page it should say something like "edit this page"

This is extremely interesting. I do a lot of creative work for free, and this could be the perfect opportunity to monetize my efforts. My hobbies and skillset include:

- Science Fiction writing
- Tech articles & reviews (I ran a couple of sites that I recently closed down; both very popular)
- Web design and development
- Graphic design
- Electronic music producer

I've sent a message to FuzzyBear, but in the mean time if anyone else related to devcoin could spend some time having a chat with me, please drop me a PM!

[weisoq]

I'm not 'related' to devcoin, but I have posted there and probably asked similar questions to those you have, so feel free to ask here or via pm and I'll try to answer

[DiamondCardz]

Just got activated by FuzzyBear after chatting with him on CoinChat, apparently he got flooded with PM's and is going through them now ^_^

Time to write!

That's be great, thank you. I'll ask you a few questions later if you don't mind.

No problem. I'll be able to tell you all about the concept and devtome/writing side of things. If you have specific questions related to more technical developments, the main Devcoin thread is the place to ask for better answers. The new devcoin site is under construction, but the current information on devtome pertaining to devcoin generally should also give you more info: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin

Yay! I've just been approved too!

Here's my first article: What Hayek would have thought about Cryptocurrencies
