[DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated

[matt608]

I am now looking at other cryptos to list on the exchange at tagbond, and to integrate to the platform in general. I am looking for fairly created coins that will help build the membership base at Tagbond.

Can you let me know why I should add Devcoin, any advantages or disadvantages to us.

Devcoiners are a loyal bunch, most of us earn our Devcoins by writing on Devtome so we have a 'core' of loyal DVC earning writers who support any exchange DVC is traded on.  Also Devcoin has been around a long time (over 2 years I think) and is one of the oldest alts.  There's no risk of it dyeing anytime soon like one of the endless scamcoins which have no innovation.  Also Devcoiners might actually want to use Tagbond to promote Devtome, in order to recruit new writers by creating Tagverts.  Also, Devtome is designed to support developers of all kinds (at the moment though it's almost entirely writers) so if added to Tagbond you would be supporting writers, which some consider a good thing.  For example, I published my book about hiking the Appalachian trail on Devtome (see sig) and got paid in Devcoins, so that was a reward for a creative project.  A final point is that there are new Devcoin developments in the pipeline (we are alwas discussing them on here) so the future looks bright for Devcoin.  All in all Devcoin is a worthy altcoin for trading on any serious altcoin exchange.  

I've had a look around Tagbond for the first time today, looks like it could work if it gets enough Tagverts being made, good luck.

Hey guys.

Finally got my life back on track and have a computer as well as internet again, so I'll be writing at the rate I used to, around a thousand words a day of quality original content, mainly short stories as these are currently my forte.

Also wanted to say a huge thanks to unthinkingbit for supporting me through the time and his help was completely invaluable.

It's good to be back.

The idea of devcoin fits well within the intention of tag verts so essentially devcoin is a tag community in which ads are paid for by coin generated today. These can be switched to tagverts and paid via signup confirmation since most ads are to sign up to devtome. This would make devcoin marketing more efficient and at the same time utilize the tag system. Once we have that in place we can start to use them elsewhere for bounty advertisement etc.

Bounty: Brewing Dreams

Description:
Using fermentation and multiple herbal spices including "Dream Herb" aka "Cheech", create a legal alcoholic beverage that also has the ability to aid in dreaming and sleep. Not meant for sale, recipe & procedure must be open source. Beverage also must be a mixture of herbals, so as not to be a mimic homeopathic sleep aides (which usually only have one or 2 herbs), but supersede them. And remember, sleep is not the main focus, dreaming is. Lucid preferred.

Must include Dream herb
Must include at least 2 other Dream/Sleep herbs
Must be drinkable by the creator
Must induce dreaming
Must be made from Home Brew, not bought

I suggest limiting the posts per user to forty per month. Also, duplicate posts will be removed.

Are there are objections to either suggestion? Should the posts per user be limited to a smaller number?

Fin - you've already listed multiple suggestions. Please stop with just posting whatever comes to mind. I appreciate that you believe your approach is the best one, but when almost everybody else disagrees - within a group endeavour - surely it's time to take a step back and consider those other opinions. There was a period earlier this year when pushback against your posts grew to the extent of real animosity and the devcoin thread centred only on such attitude. It's beginning to return to that vibe so many of us would really appreciate keeping things on point. If you want to pursue some of the ideas you suggest then just do them - you're getting paid via devtome so put that compensation to good use.

Unthinkingbit - Maybe just eliminating duplicates would be a start. Not sure how/why broad interest could/should be curtailed to address a narrower problem.

If we really want people to hold why don't we convert to PoW/PoS?

please explain.

Doesn't that mean interest will generate?

40 a month is way too few. There are already too many noob questions that go unanswered for days.

It prevents thread bloating.

None of them were 50 words. So, no this is my first suggestion

It also prevents learning. On my FinShaggy account I had tons of newbs thank me because I was the only one that would answer right away, while all the old schoolers bitched at me for being present too often.

So it is give and take.

You can start by stopping to repost your own posts for the purpose of bumping.

I don't do it just to bump, I do it to educate. I made a list of like 100 bounty ideas, if you read that and it does not inspire some ideas of your own, then you should probably stop writing.

I bring new people to Devcoin all the time, sorry if I have some stuff I'd like people to learn and try.

You also know that ban evasion results in more bans right?

I didn't evade a ban, a robot did it, not a mod. And I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to PM people telling them about writing for Devcoins. I was just trying to PM people in the noob section to teach them, and I didn't even get a chance to appeal the ban. It wouldn't let me back on the site to email a mod or anything for an appeal, so I made a new account when I moved. I no longer PM hardly at all, I am currently in a discussion with 1 person via PM and nothing more.

Any way of implementing diminishing returns?

I support this.

Same,
but only if bounties start being given for answering posts from people with questions, not just talking to each other about how great holding is.
Since none of you do that (mods aside), and that is why I am here all the time.

I post about Devcoin all over the internet and about how people are writing and coding and show them the bounty page. They don't just want to be told to buy and hold when they get here.

Talk about your articles, your current projects, your ideas,etc.

Do you mean the shares per user?  I might support that, what happens to the extra coins?

It would just be part of the algorithm. There wouldn't be extra coins.
Like views or rating.

I may be wrong but I figured he meant forum posts, not anything to do with Devtome itself (as his post was right after we talked about spam here on the forums).

I would like to bring your attention to Currency Exchange Rates, an Android app by Integrics. Not only does it convert every currency in the world, but also cryptocurrencies including devcoin. A big congratulations to them.

Below is an image of it with dvc converted to AUD$ and USD$, going both directions.


You can also use it like a calculator. Below is it converting 100,000 dvc to $30 USD.

 

As per Unthinkingbits Bounty Evaluation guidelines at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.msg3658756#msg3658756  I would like to propose a bounty for an Android devcoin wallet.

Presently I am using a Goldcoin (GLD) wallet to spread awareness of virtual currencies. It only takes a few minutes for some one to download the wallet app, and for me to scan their QR code and send them some coins. This would be a big step for devcoin. It would allow us all to tip anyone anywhere anytime. I will put my money where my mouth is, I pledge 300,000 devcoins towards this, whether or not there is an official bounty. It has to work like the Goldcoin wallet (identical to the btc, ltc, ftc wallet), with QR codes, back up keys, etc.  
 

Also I would like to thank who ever changed the devcoin logo at devtome. The new look is fantastic.

There was a start on android compatability here: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_android (although not really what you're talking about, I'm listing it in case it helps anyone develop things further).

The logo is thanks to jasinlee and unthinkingbit (and marticps who designed it).
