Edit:  I just read your reply FinShaggy, so I could publish these on Devtome and openly call them 'drafts' and that would be ok.  Then if I wanted to sell them in the future after lots of editing that would also be ok?

Exactly. Try to complete the draft at some point though before going on to editing. Devtome is paying you in hopes that you can use the money to do more than you could without it.

Great, I think I'll do it!  I've actually put writing as a second priority to my music, so money I earn from this will go towards supporting me while I produce my first album.  

This may be a silly question, but can I publish songs on devtome as well?  

I compose and play all the parts, electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, vocals and programmed drums.  I have a batch of about 12 songs I recorded.  Again, I consider them 'drafts' as I recoded them on a mediocre microphone, but I've recently bought the proper kit I need to produce studio-quality tracks.  If I can make a few hundred bucks from getting my first batch of 'draft' songs out there that would be great also!  They are reasonable sound quality, but not quite professional.  Genre is a bit like 1970s new-wave psy-rock but a bit darker.  I've no idea how the pay-rate would be decided for music... :s

I think they are working on something like that currently. Right now it is possible to post code and lyrics from music though.

I hope all our posts didn't disappear. If you look at the cached version it looks like it goes back like 2 weeks.

Right. We're only 300 blocks out.

I think it could be the case to:

- use 2/3 of every round rewards for development only: every project should be rewarded according to an agreement: e.g. the almoner will ask to make an offer to build a website, publicising the "contest". Once it is decided the provider of the service, a time of delivery will be established, if accomplished on time, the payment will be delivered.
- use 1/3 of every round to give dvc according to the number of words and the esposition of every article: a banner will be placed on every article, the reward will be used to increase the payment of the writers: the collected bitcoins on advertise will be used to buy back devcoin, creating an higher demand of dvc, increasing the value of dvc.

 

#1 sounds like bounties

#2 sounds like Devcoin advertising and I think we have it already, the Bitcoin PR Buzz banner.

I should be getting some books today Can't wait

Is there a way I can log into google analytics an look at the traffic to Devtome over the past several months?  I'm interested in seeing where it comes from, which keywords are sending search traffic to figure out what needs doing in terms of SEO and marketing to get more.  I'm now a devtome writer and have been employed to do SEO work before (search engine optimization) so I can be of assistance here.

I can't personally help with that.

But just looked at walking up right. I'll read it sometime, but I looked at the pictures, lol. Looks like it was a cool adventure.

It was a life changing experience, and a lot of fun too!  Is there anyone who can let me into google analytics?

Right now only three people have access to the analytics information. I only give access to devcoin admins who have a need to know it. Notabot is one, because he writes up the latest information to the devtome page at:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_analytics

if there is any extra information you want him to put on devtome, you can ask him. Otherwise, to access it directly you'd have to become an admin.

Got a pool online. dvc.crypto-expert.com im currently mining on it

GetWork Only. 0 fees until i patch the devcoin daemon to support GBT as i cant find one out there. The fee will be 1% after my 1 week promotional period(1 week after i have stratum running on the pool) . id like to claim the bounty for it if possible.

EDIT: once i get stratum and a good enough hashrate would you guys be interested in PPS?

What is the total bitcoin revenue? What portion of that has been converted to devcoin and sent to the miners or developers on the share lists?

There are already several pools which merge mine devcoins. The point of the bounty is to make a pool popular enough to pay out at least 1 BTC worth of devcoins to miners or developers:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now#pool

To clear up some confusion, "The devcoins can be from merged mining and/or from earnings converted to devcoin". In other words you do not have to merge mine them, although that will make it easier to get part of the devcoins which have to be sent out.
