I think devcoin foremost needs a proper functioning windows client. Its currenlty a toy for real geeks right now. That makes it a rather exclusive coin, but it should not stay that way.

Im on that I ported it over to 0.8.5 and now testing.. qt wallet will once my merged mine proxy finds some blocks and I can somehow test the reciever file.

The qt wallet is so much better than the wxwidgets and I understand the importance so Im trying to get it up sooner rather than later.

Thanks for taking the initiative! I wish I knew how to do these things, . Sadly it's not my specialty.

Does this mean we're getting a better look for the client too?

more stable... and looks better with qt.. same as bitcoin 0.8.5 the old one used wxwidgets which wasnt that great. I will need testing help for different platforms though.

All my computers are running Windows 8. What platforms do you need help with?

[pabloangello]

I follow cryptocurrency news everyday but I dont know anything about todays devcoin raises. What am I missing?

If you are using a Windows wallet you can look in the lower right corner for which block your wallet is at. We are currently at block 117675.

Thanks! just bought some devcoins and send them to my wallet

On the old devcoin thread I saw there were some issues with the windows client, but as far as I know the one I'm using is fine. I downloaded it from the Devcoin GUI Windows32 link listed here: http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=how_to_get_setup_earning_devcoins_by_writing. I tested it with the devcoin faucet. Are there any currently known issues?

Since devcoin is centered around development do you think their will ever be a bounty for the creation of a devcoin atm? I really want to see an altcoin atm as I think it would do something great for bitcoin in the long run

I agree there should be a devcoin ATM. Since it involves hardware it would be a big project, so how about 96 shares? Any objection or should something be changed?

Would the ATM print out paper wallets, or would it send DVC to a wallet?  It's a good idea!

+1, big thumbs up.

EDIT: Maybe split into stages, a banknote reader and laptop could work as an atm but its a long way from that to a secure production quality unit.

To qualify for 96 shares I think it should be a production quality unit (anyone could combine a banknote reader and laptop otherwise - without actually creating a finished DVC ATM).

I also think it's awesome!

Maybe even more shares would.  The DVC animation took about 8 hours to put together from start to finish (gathering data, putting in the text) and was 48 shares.  The ATM will take much longer, I bet.

Please place me first in line to purchase a Devcoin ATM!

If we could put them in big metropolitan areas they would garner lots of attention for DVC.

They just made one for bitcoin, maybe they can help

I had asked the same thing. Apparently we're supposed to be adding categories to the bottom of articles (like [[Category:CATNAME

All of my articles are categorized, though.

http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=wiki:user:smeagol

Thanks for pointing that out, I found the bug in devtome that was causing it. It was looking for [[Category: in the text, rather than [[category: in the lower case text, so all the links that were in the format:
[[category:

were not counted. I'll rerun the script now, if it completes the run before the receiver file is made, the new run will be used, otherwise it'll be the old run. Categorization was only 5% of the earnings multiplier this round because it is experimental.

Devtome ran again with the category bug fixed, so the final earnings and statistics are at:

https://safello.com/nl/index.xhtml

This would be to get an existing bitcoin ATM maker to add devcoins. Even 96 shares, which should be over 10,000$, is not enough to make a new ATM from scratch.

..
Would the ATM print out paper wallets, or would it send DVC to a wallet?  It's a good idea!

It would do whatever Robocoin currently does:

I agree it should be production quality, it should look like an ATM, it must be able to hold cash securely.

Edit:

It must handle devcoins, it can handle other currencies. It must be used in a public place for at least a week. For the open source award, the plans must have pictures and have a complete bill of materials.

and another https://bitcoinatm.com/
There's a challenge. Given the starting point it could make the makers enough to justify costs simply through global marketing and likely interest on roll out. In turn facilitating a lot more in terms of devcoin's whole point - to help fund development - which would benefit from the exposure, interest from working developers, and supporters of their work and the concept of reward for work via cryptos in general.

Is there a script which generates a file with total earnings for marketing, writing, admin, and bounties?

Bit of an early xmas present I was able to port over devcoin src over to bitcoin 0.8.5 with fixes (i0coin latest) and managed to statically link in libcurl so no need for the dll either(sucked doing that btw).. now I need to test and create the qt wallet! How does the test net work?

would you please share some patch or the binary, so we could test it ?

Hey atm just testing I ran the testnet but it crashes when i set up a network before I even try merge mining.. good thing is that the hash generated in init matches the genesis block so the daemon starts up fine. I will up date u once it seems stable. If someone who knows the code wants to do a code review I can talk to them via skype and guide them thru what I did and post the code. I did have to change the original changes from unthinkingbits writeup so that it conforms to new bitcoin source structure so the more eyes the better!
