I was able to log in for a while yesterday, but one article is still down and now I have no account. 

Any word on when things will be back to normal?

The ticket is supposedly cleared, I am manually clearing out the bad registrations now. If any of the other admins want to assist me please do so, any blank users just delete, the ones with odd characters you can ignore they are going to have to be removed on the backend.

I'm also having problems with devtome - I logged in successfully yesterday but an article had vanished.  The article is back today, but now I can't login as password not recognised.  I'm glad its not just me and comments on the forum saying they are working on it are encouraging!  Hope its all back to normal soon.

We appreciate all that you do! 

FYI my page has been appearing blank on and off (I only signed up ~ a week ago). Hopefully I don't get swept up in this. Username same as here.

There are different user groups. The ones we are deleting are just "user" the writers are "user, writers", those are safe.

How do I delete users?

[jasinlee]

Admin - User manager - Type a letter into the search (any will do there are so many) - delete ones in just the user group "User", if they are in any other group skip them.

I don't have anything saying "admin" or "user manager"... I guess I'm not senior enough...

If any devcoin admin wants to delete bot accounts, please message me and I'll upgrade you to admin on devtome if you aren't already.

Matt (and all new Devtome writers),

Right now, round 26 is paying out and will be until block 108,000.  Then from block 108,001 until block 112,000, round 27 will be paying out.  You are writing in round 28, which will start paying out in block 112,001.  There is a substantial delay between the time you start writing and the time you start getting paid.

As for your name being on the list, you're probably looking at the charity_28 file, and I know that file is not up to date for probably several reasons, including the current issues with the Devtome.  The equivalent file for round 27 was not up to date either and I'm not sure why.  When writing for Round 28 closes, and that will happen at block 109,300, a few days to a week later, UnthinkingBit runs some sort of script that essentially subtracts your cumulative word count from round 27 (which in your case will be zero) from your cumulative word count from round 28, and that determines your pay.  That script is different from whatever script is behind the charity files that are supposed to update daily, and it's Unthinkingbit's script that's the official one--the other one being unofficial but useful (when it works) for keeping track of how you're doing as the round progresses.  Around that time, you'll also get a test payment (of some random small amount) to your address as a way to check to make sure your wallet is working and ready to receive your generated shares.

This probably sounds very confusing, as it was to me when I started out.  The bottom line is that there is a process from the time you start writing to the time you start getting paid, and at first it looks like nothing's happening, but hang in there and keep writing, and once you experience it, it will make more sense.  Once you start getting paid, though, as long as you consistently write each round, the payments are generated daily and continuously.  It's definitely much more fun to keep writing when you are also getting paid, but think of your current efforts as priming the pump.  Once the flow starts, it won't stop until you stop writing (in which case it will stop about six weeks to two months later).

I published 70,000 words on Devtome last week.  I've PMed unthinkingbit 3 times asking to add me to the payment list and recieved no reply, and I can't see myself on the list.  Can I be added please?

Too many problems to worry about stuff like that. If you set up your userpage you should be fine.

I have done, this is it, hopefully it's ok.

Hey Jasin.

I am in admin, user manager.

When I search it returns me empty check boxes but with some of them with funny characters.  Am I doing something wrong?

No your fine, those are the corrupt ones. We are doing this manually to avoid having people get deleted by accident though so yeah its tedious. The blank ones or ones with odd symbols just skip them. I usually just type in a letter for the search to pull up a list, then go through them.

[wiser]

I could help some with getting rid of fake accounts.  However, at this time Devtome won't allow me to log in.  When I try the password reset option it then tells me it can't find me in the database.  Anyway, I'll have to be able to log in if I can be of much help

[jasinlee]

PM your info if the site is not seeing you. I will get it fixed before I continue.

I got a list.  All then users seems to have legitimate names and emails, but are only in the "user" group.  Should I delete them?
