[DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated

[wiser]

I mentioned moderator positions in my Jan 8th post because oversight would be essential.  But I don't think you can create profitable content just through quality control measures.  You have to start with appealing subject matter, then go from there.

I apologize if my comments disparaged anyone's past efforts because that was not my intention.  My comments were about what might be done differently if the concept was to be rebooted under new management in light of how everyone is currently locked out.

The system we had was a good one, and came about as the result of much discussion and lots of ideas kicked around. Part of the original philosophy of the Devtome was to allow (and reward) people to create whatever content they wanted to, provided it met some minimum standard of quality. There were admins there who actively checked for plagiarism and plain bad writing. The rating system was just one measure.

The problem now is that the system is not currently being maintained, not that there were problems with the system when it was in good working order. And even if there are ways to improve on the system, the first priority is to get it back into good working order as is.

Again, we are locked out of devtome and Devcoin's pay sheet for several months.  I understand the technical fixes are straight forward, but without access...welp, it is a shame!

My post from last week was speaking in a "what now?" mindset, under the assumption that everyone would agree that the project was 100% dead. 

Sorry, I did not mean to disrupt the discussion and will now fall away.

If you're interested in helping out with the Devtome rescue project, please refer to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1317408.0

That would need to happen first, before ideas for making fundamental changes to the system get kicked around.

The project isn't 100% dead yet, more like in a deep sleep and needing to be woken up, or to quote/paraphrase from The Princess Bride, "It's not dead, just *mostly* dead! There's a big difference between all the way dead and mostly dead."

[im400]

I can't help with any rescue efforts because I do not have access to Devtome or the Devcoin pay sheet.

I was trying to ask if anyone knew of projects similar to Devtome, or gauge potential interest of starting a new project along those lines. 

Again, I apologize for interrupting this thread.

I've been working with the devtome admin (jasinlee) since around xmas on getting devtome going again. The hosting was upgraded a couple of months previously as we were getting much more traffic so looks like some settings - e.g. mod security - messed things up.

Basically involves me trying edits and passing on errors with screenshots and timestamps, them changing some rules every time. Time differences are making it a slow process with one or two changes a day.

Now at the stage of involvement from hosting in trying to replicate issues as nothing technically wrong with site itself (edits by me under 'Recent Changes' includes hosts working on it with my login). There's been some improvement as can now add a limited number of characters rather than none. Hopefully they'll be able to narrow down the exact problem soon.

I've been reluctant to update because until resolved it isn't, but appreciate everyone's frustrated - so for information.

This sounds like great news! Please do post updates, even if it doesn't seem like there is much to say, even if it's only "we continue to work on the issues." Updates of little or no progress are still better than no updates at all (Cryptsy, anyone?).

Ok. To reiterate earlier posts on cryptsy - don't use it for any coins: http://blog.cryptsy.com

Sounds like someone switched to a new (upgraded) hosting account without first ensuring they had copies of all the relevant configurations for all the webserver modules wiki modules and so on?

Seems maybe it could be harder to try to start from scratch than to just fix the thing?

Who the heck lost all the possibly quite intricate and detailed module config options and such from the working site, though?

Cryptsy is toast now, it seems. Their website is offline. What I meant by my comment was that one of the ways they completely shot themselves in the foot was poor communication, particularly lack of meaningful updates. I'm really glad you're working on the Devtome issues, and let me encourage you to please post regular updates, even if not much progress has been made since the last update. Regular communication is a wonderful thing

Also, with Cryptsy going down, it seems we are in need of a new trading platform. I really hate to pin everything on Vircurex. Poloniex has a new coin request form. Should we get a campaign going to have them list DVC? I'd also love to see it on BitTrex, although 'Trex is notorious for delisting coins quickly if they don't like the volume.

I really hope Cryptsy can resume trade in all these small altcoins again. It was the nr.1 altcoin exhange.

Their trust has been lost in a lot of people, though, so I doubt volume will be even close to what it was before...
