One of the main requirements for devcoin to function is the hosting of the receiver files. Each time a block is solved a 'call' goes to the receivers so as to determine distribution to recipients addresses. There are 7 receivers hosted and (I believe) that 5 out of 7 need to be hosted for devcoin to work/blocks to proceed. Feel free correct me if I am wrong. I host receivers at http://show-me-the-devcoin.info/devtome/ and am current. Hosting the files is not cheap, or at least wasn't when the big mining pool merge mined dvc. There were so many calls to the receivers I had to upgrade my bandwidth considerably as my site went down. Not sure how it is working now in regards to bandwidth post merge mining with big pools. My site is pretty crap but it's only there for the receiver files. But the achilles heel with dvc is that if the receivers aren't hosted that the blocks won't be solved. Above post mentioned 404's on some of the receivers which suggests they haven't been updated. If it isn't syncing (mine isn't) then most likely the last receiver hasn't been uploaded enough times. The last message to host/upgrade the receivers from Unthinking bit from http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/receiver_59.csv was May 27, and there is a lag until they are required. My guess is that not enough receivers have been uploaded, the lag time has passed, and the blocks aren't being solved. Hello, Thank you for the explanation. Is there a bounty set for this task ? Regards, Flam. PS: I'm receiving the shares again. |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

OK, tried to open my wallet this morning and got an error message saying "failed to connect best block." When I click OK, it just closes the wallet loading. What do I do?
Thought it was just me, when setting up my wallet recently.  - Nova So how did you get past that? I still have that problem. Wondering if I need to download the entire block chain again or something. I kind of hope not. DVC is an old coin so could take a while... |

Well, I deleted everything from the folder except the wallet.dat file and then tried to run the wallet, and still got the same error message. What are the steps you took? EDIT: OK, never mind. I thought I'd done the above but really hadn't. Now the wallet is open and hopefully will connect to a peer soon. EDIT: "No block source available" for longer than I'd expect... EDIT: OK, it's connected and synchronizing. Guess I'll check it in the morning. |

Monies riding on it, if you will. - Nova Downloading the entire block chain in the end seems to have solved the problem. I think my previous version of the block chain had gotten corrupted somehow. I didn't think of that at first because, well, when the block chain is corrupted, the error message is different for each type of coin wallet. It took all night, and then in the morning when I checked it was taking forever to get past a particular block. Forget the number but it ended in 71. I closed the wallet and restarted it once. It was still hung up on that block, but I just left the wallet open for quite a while and by the time I got back to it, it had gotten past that block and fully synchronized. I haven't tried to send anything, but as far as I can tell, it's working fine. One thing I did do, because the wallet seemed to have been taking forever to find a block source, was I put the peers file back into my appdata folder. Eventually the wallet did connect, and I'm not sure if that made a difference or not. I'm also not sure if closing and then restarting my wallet when it was stuck on the block ending in 71 made any difference or if it was just going to take a long time to get past that particular block no matter what I did. But in any case, downloading the entire block chain seems to solve a lot of problems, so good to try when the wallet is acting up. |

Do you have a link to where one can grab the blockchain? Thanks, - Nova |

Any working exchange for devcoin? I've been using BTER since vircurex died to pay for dvccountdown hosting. First convert dvc to cny, then cny to btc, fairly painless, but a bit harder to know if you're getting a good deal.
It's got a good UI, not sure how stable they are. Don't keep anything on the exchange if you don't trust it.

How do you think, does it make sense to add this coin to https://yobit.net? |

Terrible idea. Yobit are a shit exchange for shitcoins. Nothing but trouble with them. Any other exchange, but not them. I see novaexchange is back up - anyone tried them? |

I'll look into Cryptopia. Coins seems to be automatically added into several markets besides BTC such as LTC, DOGE etc... Which is good to avoid 1-2 sats spreads problems encountered by high supply coins.

As for novaexchange - I don't know this exchange. I read that it stopped working, then appeared again and it does not add my confidence in it. If you trade there please add DVC to voting. I submitted DVC for review on https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Vote and suggested devcoin on https://c-cex.com/?id=voteCurrently, the value of this coin on bter dropped significantly. There is a possibility that bter will remove the coin from the auction. It is necessary to give traders an opportunity for arbitrage. We should increase volumes of trade. I think this can be done by increasing the number of trading platforms. |

Anyone know what's going on with Devtome? It says hosting has been suspended.
