twobits, I think you are just grouchy. Just looking for a fight. Look elsewhere.

The ASCM data from FuzzyBear is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.msg2877789#msg2877789

No again you are wrong.     

That is the chart , with your original numbers for all but for the p2pdvc

The edit that moves the ASCM data in the wrong direction is yours as part of

see how you changed it from 140 to 28.

It is not Fuzzy's data that is wrong here, as he never had any data here, that is all from you.

[twobits]

Dead horse, please meet twobits. He has a stick. twobits, this is a dead horse. You two have fun.

Resorting to Ad hominem, as a last resort,  rather then just admit that the errors are from you and not Fuzzy.
Guess it makes sense, as you already used  responding to tone.



It was not dead, as you had just claimed some of the errors were not yours and instead Fuzzy's.    Now people can see the edits for themselves.
   

[eeh]

twobits, I apologize to you for being wrong. I apologize to FuzzyBear for my errors too.

twobits, I could care less if people see the edits.

twobits, I don't know if I would consider that an ad hominem attack. I merely introduced you to a dead horse. An ad hominem would be something like "twobits is such a dick. You can't trust a thing he says because he is a jerk." See? That's going after "the man" instead of the argument.

UPDATE

I'm still thinking of the nature of that accusation of an ad hominem attack. It's curious. I essentially said that twobits was beating a dead horse. To me, that is accusing him of arguing about a point that is no longer under contention. I had dismissed the argument. I tried to avoid saying that the essence of the argument was fallacious because of some inherent disposition of twobits to rationally carry on a conversation. I was saying the argument was going on without my participation. At least that was my intention.

Responding to tone. Yes, I responded to the antagonism of twobits' first post to me, but I also cited the "why" of that reasoning. An argument from tone is a weak form of argument, at least how I understand it, if not also accompanied by an explicit reason why the tone was offensive. There is nothing wrong with pointing out that someone's style is inflammatory.

The link I gave twobits to FuzzyBear's ASCM data was where it was pointed out to me that ASCM had more than one dividend payment. So when I said that FB was also wrong, it was an error of omission. Neither of us identified that amount in our attempts to find the correct data.

I responded to the charge that I neglected to include the ASCM data. Doing so was my error.

I also responded to the charge that I did not supply proof of my work. I posted the link to the Google Docs spreadsheet which included my numbers.

I'm sure twobits will respond, which is his right. But really, I'm only interested in carrying on the conversation with FuzzyBear and then probably only by PM. I felt like twobits jumped in, not with the intention of being helpful, but to stir up some sort of debate that I never fully wanted to engage in but for some reason felt obliged. That's a perception of mine, right or wrong. I also felt guilty about eating up thread room in a discussion where a good part of twobits posts didn't make a lot of sense. I guess that is a communication problem with text only discussions, but nevertheless, it was often hard to decipher.

I was not saying you would care, I was saying people can see it for themselves, and draw their own conclusions, and not need to trust or believe either of us.

An ad hominen attack addresses the characteristics or authority of the writer without addressing the substance of the argument.    Saying I am 'beating a dead horse' fits.


If you would like I can try and find some time to write something to grab the data from the api.   I do think the article idea is a good one,  I just think it is important to have the numbers in the right ballpark.

What you drew is a logo, if you wish you can convert it to a button and get one fifth of a share. Marticps won the logo vote last month, so the logo awards were ended.

How about this?

I've decided to extend my DVC Second Anniversary giveaway as indicated in the following quote:

This special has been extended.  It is now good until Midnight Eastern Standard Time August 8.

Also, for some reason (most likely ISP filtering) it seems to take a while for the confirmation message to reach you.  If you haven't gotten it after 12 hours (and it's not in your email spam folder), feel free to try subscribing again.

If you haven't confirmed by Midnight EST August 8, I will send half the DVCs in the next day, and the other half once you confirm your subscription and you are fully opted in.

Thanks so much for participating

I am also looking to buy a newegg gift card in devcoins, is anyone interested?

I overwrote a secondary devcoin wallet (not the one that receives) and am fairly certain that it can't be recovered on my end. If I know my addresses for that wallet, is there any method to recover that from the blockchain? I'm at peace with my error overwriting the backups of that wallet (with a million dvc) but just thought I'd ask.  Thanks.    

I think I'll start burning copies to disc once in awhile so I can't overwrite that dated copy.

use pywallet and scan ur HD for wallets/privkeys

I really like this one!

That would be a great help to the DVC community, I think. Are there are places where we can invest in DVC?

I'm plugging a few articles. User vehementchrome has just put up some very well written stories. I'm enjoying the reading and wanted to recommend them.

And no, that is not my alias. I receive nothing for advocating his pages. Just thought it would be enjoyable for others.

Questions:

1. Can anyone tell me at what point traffic to an article is measured? I want to promote it, but want to wait until I'm pretty sure the peak is during the time when it counts.

2. Does the traffic count for all articles or just the newest submissions?

#1) I don't think he's going to release that information. If he did, everyone would throw traffic at the site at the same time and it would defeat the purpose of having the new system.

#2) Should be all articles.

[eeh]

Makes sense. Thank you.

That's a good question.  Ever since those 2 new aliases attacked him and tried to put a scammer tag on him for nothing he vanished.  Too bad, I liked that guy.  He was a good marketing type and every coin needs that.

How does one promote their devtome articles, exactly?  TIA.

Existing websites and such. I already do this with a different website I deal with so all I do is swap some links around from theirs to Devtome instead. I run some news sites for games, so the traffic isn't a problem for me; it's all about how I want to manage which sites are getting the click-throughs on my links, :p.
