[DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated

[melodiem]

Yeah, after reading some of the comments left by raters for other writers - things like (incomplete) and giving a 30, I went back and deleted all bookmark pages like the one for a chapter in progress! The rating is supposed to be for the author, with a random article given as an "example" of work, but it wouldn't surprise me if those scores actually reflected the article linked more than all the articles combined...some writers are just so prolific!

Is there somewhere I can read the ratings on my work? (not that I have any issues, just love the idea of critical feedback!)

Try this search query: https://www.google.com/webhp#q=site%3Adevtome.com+%22Writer%2C+Article%3A+0-99%22

In the URL you can see the round or you add your username to the query: https://www.google.com/webhp#q=site%3Adevtome.com+%22Writer%2C+Article%3A+0-99%22+melodiem

Just a small update on the DevTome / DevCoin Information Site I have been putting together.  (http://www.madrabbitproductions.com/DevCoin)

1) Added share history graph for those who have share histories
2) Updated the site to handle the round change over where there will be three active rounds at a time (Payout, Previous and Current)
3) Added a spot for DevTome writer stats, these will be parsed and updated in the coming days
    a) Trying to figure out best way to show the data and what is most used
    b) Want it to help those who write for DevTome write better (ratings, categorization and what not)
4) Updated to check the Previous Round Account and Receiver Files if they changed since the end of the round (or since the last parse)
5) Updated to CSS 3 and HTML 5
6) Trying to deal with Google Charts and it's inability to be responsive.
7) Just fixing small things and adding more data as I find it and think it may be prudent
Also added DVC / LTC and LTC / BTC under the DevCoin info from Cryptsy in case you would like to firgure out how much DVC can go to BTC through LTC (Just remember the .3% fees!)
9) Building a faucet as well to add to the site
10) Figuring out a final resting place (Domain Name) for the site once all the kinks are worked out!
11) Looking into a Block Chain explorer as well since I have to have the daemon running for the faucet!

I'm now offering 1000 / 1500 DVC to each person who votes to add DVC / BTC to Cryptsy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408884

EDIT: if anyone wants to donate DVC to help keep this alive (or so I can increase the reward - I want 1000 people voting for it on Cryptsy) 1M8A5WqBuQYU8yBfWeEp9jZTMzCfHxv5Bg

FWIW, Cryptsy used to do DVC/BTC. Now they do XPM/BTC and LTC/BTC. I'm not sure why they removed the BTC link though.

I just tried Crypsy for the first time today and haven't been very impressed so far....

My intital deposit of just a few thousand Devcoins took a few hours to show up in my acccount.

When I was attempting to enter some trades, some of them would show up immediately and others would not.

However, I guess that I am going to stick around because of the closeness of the DVC/LTC trading pairs compared to other sites.

Yes Cryptsy has issues - but the trade volume there is huge and having DVC / BTC trading there will only strengthen Devcoin.

They are working hard to fix these issues too - and you will always get your coins eventually.

Yeah, I was having several WTF is going on here moments before the Devcoins finally showed up.

The trade volume there on DVC / LTC is huge.

It has its problems - but it is also the largest cryptocurrency exchange out there.

I agree. That's free market for you.

All the wrongdoings and problems that appear with cryptsy give other developers the opportunity to create a better exchange and grab market share away from cryptsy.

It will sort itself out sooner or later. :-)

I hope that CEX.IO decides to expand their trading and allow more alt coins to be traded.

Their platform rocks...

It was taken from a book that I published. The content can only be seen via purchasing on Amazon or on Devtome.

Might not be this issue, but did you 'prove' that earlier? When content is from an existing published book/article, you need to provide some means of confirming it's yours (system to protect author copyright) - usually just an temporary edit to original hosting site. Otherwise will show up as copied in checks. If you ask whoever signed you up or one of the article admins they can help with this.

Why do we allow pre published that is commercial to be paid by devtome anyway? Shouldnt thr material be original and non commercial?

Well, the deal is that once it's posted on Devtome it's open source. In other words, if you are selling a book and post the same book on Devtome, you're now offering it completely free as well. So it's to help promote the open source writing. I think.

I would agree if it was the whole text and not just a portion copied from a commercial novel.  But it isn't my call

I have a devtome question...

I just realised I have made typo's in the names of my articles (its a u behind a q ...what can I say?)

Anyway, I know if I delete the content and remake the page it will fix it but will this mess with the article/word count thingies??

This wont be the last dummy question but it might be one of my dumbest.. sorry and thanks in advance

Nope, just make sure you re-link the new names on your user page and you're good-to-go. The receiver files are already generated so if you are expecting payouts from round 31, don't worry: they are already, for all intents and purposes, locked right now.

That gives the nasty incentive to double post material and get paid twice because they are using negligibility pg reader to know any better... as far as I know being negligible doesnt clear you from doing a crime so why would it be allowed here?

Think about ppl buying on webapps that offer extra work to allow you to read via kindle or something .. doesnt make sense to allow it.

Facebook wouldnt let me post a link to Devtome, or to Devcoin.org, and forze my messenger!!! 

I was in messenger sending the link to a friend, and tis big red warning comes up that the addy I am entering is dangerous and I cant proceed until I remove it ..but I cant remove it either fckrs!!!!

(no I didnt screenshot...Im an idiot ok?) anyway I can post to the wall, but not send messages, (still cant) didnt dare try to send it in a post after that.

Fckrs...

Still got my message across (and if anyone is interested in graphics with the devtome/devcoin addys on them let me know) but still.... fckrs!!

Does anyone know why they would be blocking Devcoins/Devtome? (both were in the message so not sure which one triggered it either)

A member, FinShaggy, appears to have (possibly) caused this (I say possibly because I'm not 100% sure, but he was the person sending out a lot of PM's to people so I think he's the one that got it flagged as spam).

I'm sorry to hear about that.

Other Devcoiners have reported the same problem - I'm 90% sure it's Devtome and I'm also 90% sure it is because someone was spamming FB. FB are ruthless with "spam" and it may take a long time for the link to be removed as spam.

We need to find a good URL redirection / cloaking service to share Devtome links on FB!
