So according to RS we have 7 days to either fix dvc code or come up with a plan with timeline. Most likely have to fix otherwise it will be replaced.
Since we have a deadline, may I suggest a bounty for this? Does everyone agree to a 3-share bounty for someone who comes up with a viable timeline and presents it to RS, and a further bounty for those who contribute to the project?

What's wrong with the code now? So MCX is going to delist...I predict dumping... ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

The code is old and many bugs are in which have been fixrd in newer forks. Some ram issues and multithreading related bugs mainly. Didnt markm submit and approve a proposal to update the code by someone from another project who can do it quickly? I mean it would take me longer causr ive never looked at src but i can do it if he wont.

i did not know about the possible mcxnow de-listing. that is no good.. so lets fix this fellows, i am not a coder, just a fancier, and probably good at promoting.

I'd be up for offering some DVC towards a bounty to get the code fixed. However, I don't really know what is wrong with it and I'm not a coder. Who can help?

The code is based on bitcoin 0.3. Right now, we are at bitcoin 0.8. We need to catch up the code so it does not crash.

Ok, I too will put in some DVC, 1 million of them, towards this bounty of updating the code. I need some guidance I'm beginning to look at the src. Can I not just look at maybe taking a new snapshot from the latest say Namecoin which is also merge mined, or just take the latest bitcoin and add merge mining capabilities and change the settings to match devcoin settings instead of going in adding patches? Are there other specific devcoin patches (and or what reason)? Does it make sense to essentially start the codebase from the fresh fork(either from nmc or btc), match the settings up and be done? Jag

Jag I recommend forking the latest i0coin code, which was newly resurrected. As for the settings, ask unthinkingbit about that. It is a bit complex.

SO far I got this: sidhujag 1 million dvc weisoq 1 million dvc matt608 (dont know) assume 1 million dvc shakezula 1 million dvc notabot 1 million dvc 3-shares also next round. Who else is going to step up to the plate here? I have a dev who's interested and knows the source. I also messaged MarkM and maybe the dev he was talking to will be interested to work right away if the bounty is big enough! if it get delisted we all probably lose half the value of our dvc's anyway just off the bat!

The rpc hangs mentioned should have been fixed ( https://gitorious.org/devcoin/devcoin/commit/a7aad74030c36da201d526477a47693a8d1cbeeb ) One thing that is unclear to me is just what version/build is mcxnow even running? I know last I talked to RS about it, end of July, he was running a version that did not have that patch among others in it. I am not sure he ever updated. To fix the code we really should know more exactly what is wrong with it. A bug report with the rpc commands sent and the very head and tail of the debug log would help a lot. Perhaps someone could write some code to exercise the rpc interface to see if they can get it to crash for them? I'd be up for offering some DVC towards a bounty to get the code fixed. However, I don't really know what is wrong with it and I'm not a coder. Who can help?
The code is based on bitcoin 0.3. Right now, we are at bitcoin 0.8. We need to catch up the code so it does not crash. Just a rebase of the code is not how you fix a crash. In fact at first a new rebase would be more likely to crash. We need actionable bug reports.

I'll give 500K DVC also from the next round. I'm pretty sure I'll make that much, if not, I'll buy it off an exchange and send it to the bounty winner or to whoever is collecting the payout.

In fact at first a new rebase would be more likely to crash. We need actionable bug reports. Ok cool, so do we just send him the new binaries to try to get him to replace it and see if its fixed? He was complaining about the crashing and multithreading issues so im guessing RAM consumption which MarkM was talking about... I think we can ask him as a first step to try the new binary? Ofcourse the rebase would fix the crashes because of the bigger community testing and debugging @ BTC. However the bounty is pretty sizeable and will need to be tested by the dev to ensure no crashes... so he/she would be on it if there were any issues. Either way its a headache for RS.
