Ok, so nobody has any idea as to the shares for round 25, what about then the end of the round.

I read several times by reputable guys in here the end of round 25 is 97,300 but in the past there was the "end" and then another 1,000 blocks for the actual literal end. 

Can anybody comment on this?  Is 97,300 the real end or the 1,000 block heads up end?  I wrote only 3 articles all month long, this past month, due to serious family problems, but I really want to get at least a few articles in for this round but I don't know how much time I really have left.

Anyone? 

Much appreciated. 

Thank you!

The end is at 97.3k. The other 1k is for making changes as needed (ex. someone should not be getting shares and such due to plagiarism). That time is just so there is a little more leeway for getting things taken care of instead of having people pop in right before the 97,300'th block with their spam in the hopes that they get "locked" into the system before they get caught.

So is that 1,000 extra blocks already in this 97,300 or will it be added to the 97,300 and so then one can write until 98,300.  In the past there was always a 1,000 block heads up.  TIA.

Almost positive that the cutoff is 97,300. The extra 1,000 blocks isn't for getting new content in, but rather so if we find discrepancies we can take care of them before the finalization occurs. Otherwise people would go spam the heck out of the site at block 97,290+ so that they could be finalized at 97,300. This gives us a thousand blocks (10 days or so) to go through and see what needs taken care of.

That's my understanding at least. Otherwise they wouldn't say the cutoff is at 97,300 but 98,300, :p.

When I first read devtome 3 months ago it said there was a 1,000 block heads up and during that time you could still write.  That's why I'm not sure if maybe this round that 1,000 block was never announced or if we do get 1,000 more blocks.

I'm boosting the maximum administrator pay from 9% to 10%, because the article admins have stopped scammers and drivel, which would of been more than 10% of the earnings. I don't know how charities keep administration at around 11%, it may be that they count some costs which devcoin considers administrative under other categories.

Thanks! You're awesome, . I'm glad you like the work us new admins have been doing, and I plan to continue with it!

[Vlad2Vlad]

So does anybody know if there's a 1,000 block pre-warning coming or is 97,300 the final block for round 25?

Every round since I've been here has had a 1,000 block heads up before the round actually ended and I even read it on devtome back then and it sounded like standard protocol.

Thanks once again.

[AtomSea]

I love the basic philosophy of Dev coin - this is why i purchased some.
However, is the final amount set?  Or is it uncapped?
And if it isn't, what is the reason for that?
I am curious about the basics and the reasoning it was set as such.

Accumulative weighted word count at Devtome at end of Round 25 is charted below. If there's any changes I will update.

From http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_stats



 

Thanks, looks like each share will be worth well under 100,000 coins for round 25.  No more going back now to where earning will be possible.  For round 24 I earned $3 per hour, now its looking like $2 per hour.  I don't know how much time I'll be able to contribute going forward.  Sucks, this was such a nice way to earn coins.  Too many earners from emerging 3rd world market is my guess.  Thanks and good luck..

No it says cumulative word count and I posted some links earlier with running details for the round that you responded to, but obviously didn't read.

I thought the links were for some other things I'll check it out now .  Thanks.

[Vlad2Vlad]

That is weighted word count not number of shares. I will graph the share distribution when I know the new Admin number of shares, and provide devcoin value per share.

Share count
Bitcoin share list - 17 shares
Bounties - 81 shares
Devcoin share list - 1 share
Devtome earnings - 446 shares
Marketing - 28 shares
Admin - not sure

Total = 573 shares <--Admin shares not included yet. Last round Admin shares were 70.

Not bad, better than last round.

Anybody know if writing for round 25 is now closed?  Not sure if that 1,000 block count was never given or not.  Cause now we're above the 97,300 deadline. I wanted to squeeze out one more article.

Edit: The count for Pb321go was redone because his article Miss - A Radio Play was not seen by devtome.py, which has been fixed. Also Penguinwriter was not verified at the time, through no fault of his own. Penguinwriter actually wrote 80,000 words, but there was not enough time for an article admin to check his article so I limited the payout to 60 shares in this round. If an article admin approves it then he'll get the remainder of the payment in round 26. These changes added a total of 68 shares.

I sent 23 dvc coins to the new writers below to confirm the devcoin address:

Eroxors
Luckybit
Nsddev
Pb321go
Redmist

For those on the list, please check that you received the coins, the receiver files will be generated in a day.

Quick question which others are wondering.  Normally there's a 1,000 block heads up before the round is officially over.  This round there was no heads up or is this that heads up and we now have another 1,000 blocks to write or contribute for round 25?  Thanks.

[fishy]

How do some people get 80k words?  O.o

I'd like to toss out a thank-you to whoever is crashing DVC's prices. That's nice -- especially the person who sold out 20+ mil at once to the buy wall...

I really hope the prices start bouncing back. They're already down to below 70 SAT...

That'd be nice... around 20 million more were dumped today. The price had almost bounced back to normal yesterday after the massive 50+ mil in dumps. I'm hoping it'll bounce back after this one too...
