also what charting packages / charts are you guys using when writing about cryptos? I saw a few charts  on devtome and I couldn't figure out where they come from.

If you click on the old versions tab at the top of the article, you can see who wrote the article and follow up that way. (If that helps you )

[melodiem]

Just signed up as a writer!  What else can I do besides write?

Read heaps, ask heaps and write even more - Good luck, welcome and please don't feed the squirrels

http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now has been updated with the armory wallet and some changes have been made to claimed bounties.  As more and more bounties are being added, the page gets a bit cluttered.  Is anybody working on a bounty engine, and should there be a bounty for the bounty engine?

Also, if anyone is interested in an additional 2 shares, if you write a 50 word review about buying a netflix code from http://dvc4giftcards.us/, you will get them.  2 shares may actually be worth more than the code!

(Starbucks cards are not available at the moment, even though it says they are on the website)

The block explorer shows that I have the coins, but they are not in my spendable balance according to the -qt.

Would exporting the privkey, deleting the wallet.dat, and then importing the privkey work?

Yes

Thank you!

I am working on something, but I am not sure it is what you all want since every time I bring it up there are 5 different ideas about what it should be.   it is at http://dev-co.in/bounties.php.  It isn't anywhere near done yet and I don't have time tonight to work on it more, maybe tomorrow!

Im giong to work on a site where people can (devcoin) post projects that need to be done and people can bid on them, or simply accept them. It would offer escrow, dispute/resolution, a message board alot of things that may be useful, and allow maybe other communites to post work, and we can simply filter it for devcoin related tasks... it can be monetized to bring in profits for devcoin too if we wish.. anyways I will demo it in a few weeks when ready for a beta.

Hey guys, here's my submission for the investment plan bounty. A publicly traded business could quite easily be generated that uses its strategy.

http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=ema-volatility_trading_algorithm_for_bots

It's the description and algorithm of a trading bot I've developed and have been using for bitcoins for a few months now with some success. It's intended to work with a bot but can be run manually if you're crazy enough.

Wow, nice!  Great article as well as investment plan.  This is a great base for a cryptocoin investment company.  How could I implement your code into a bot?  I'm not a very experienced pythoner. 

You will receive 6 shares for your plan.  What's your devcoin address?

Thanks, address is 1LHVxAkzcN8BzSdrT7J2W3CCpiz5Rgj72E

Did you see my seed node claim? it's under a few pages of thread awesome, but details were dvcnode.blisteringdevelopers.com:52333 is up and good to add-node if you want to.

The bot itself can be implemented in any language you like, as long as you can talk to an exchange in it. I haven't released the source of that yet, and I'm debating whether to do it or not. On the one hand I know it'll be a useful addition to general open source (there's not a whole lot of good working bot code out there that you don't pay for), but on the other the business part of me is being greedy. I'll think about it some more. I'm leaning towards releasing it, but I know I'll also need to add a whole bunch more code to make it server-generic (as in, able to talk to lots of different servers and work with different currencies and all that). At the moment, it's bitcoin-mtgox-usd centric as a specific application. If I release it I'd want it to be menu driven similar to the shotgun bot, so you just set the options at the start and let it run.

I read it, thankyou I even understood it!

I am brand new to trading - even the thought of entering an arena where the principles involve taking advantage of another's loss in order to be successful, makes me feel a bit sick - but if I can set a bot to handle it as a mathematical decision a bot made, not a bitch move I made, well then lookout world!

Ahma gonna become me a trader!

Is there a noobs guide to trading bots for devcoin? I found some articles on Devtome but they do all seem to come from a platform of prior knowledge. My entire knowledge of "bots" became defunct when MSN shut their chatrooms

Ok, I think a bounty site is a good idea and deserves a bounty. So to rewind I'll try again with original plan:
--------
Devcoin is about funding people and projects that create open source content. This requires time and effort as well as ideas and interest, which means putting visibility, know-how and incentive together in one place.

1. The site should be simple and attractive (with its own domain that includes ‘dev’ in it - to avoid confusion/conflict)
2. It would start as just a site that records bounties. Later it would be expanded to have categories with tagged bounties, so people could search by category. Bounties would automatically be added each round.
3. It needs to be a simple way of recording and tracking official Devcoin bounties only.
4. Maintenance and further development of the site would be funded through regular generation payments in the same way as devtome.

Longer-term (suggestions):
4. A rating system would be developed to increase objectivity and quality in vetting categories and projects of particular expertise.
5. Content management should be kept fairly simple to allow non-expert user edits. Actual admin of changing content should be open to reasonable discussion and consensus so it can always keep rolling with new manual content when necessary.
6. There would also be smaller bounties for any additional admins needed, particularly those who can demonstrate knowledge in fields related to available bounties and rating.
--------
I'll leave the amount for others with better idea of effort involved to suggest. I know dalamar's already working on something, but I'm not dalamar so seems ok to propose it...   I'll also contribute 500k of my own dvc if it's not objected to.

You have my agreement. As it is already done Dalamar would be able to tell the time involved and what bounty he feels his time is worth. If there are no objections to that amount then that should be the bounty he receives. If there is objection... well let's see if there is no objection first.

Bots are generally closely guarded secrets because they're so powerful. They take away the emotions of trading, so you can set a strategy and just let it go. Smeagol's given me a good idea on how to release it, though. I doubt there will be much on devtome about them yet.

The thing with markets is you'll never know if you're actually taking advantage of fear or if you're simply providing liquidity (ie someone is genuinely purchasing/selling them for an intended use). It's a bit like how some countries have the practice where there's only one real bullet in a firing squad, so no individual shooter knows if they were the one that took the life.

I third/fourth this bounty, too. I'm all for more time-efficient ways of managing things .

[Athanasios Motok]

This is old news but you know how DOGE was used to support an Olympic team? Right after that the price skyrocketed and DOGE gained more popularity through the news. Do you think something such as this would be beneficial to devcoin?

Assuming everyone agrees it's a v good idea, it's particularly b/c someone's willing to work on it without the promise of payment that I think it deserves a bounty.

I also have something that may work for all of this, but we will need iterations of testing... whatever dalamar comes up with maybe I can work on adding it to my thing as well.

http://opensourceecology.org/

Seems like projects like this would be inline with the goals of the coin and bring great exposure.

Start small and fund a build of a Power Cube or a loose earth brick layer.

The publicity would be great, the builds are open source and already proven.

It's for these types of projects that I've invested in the coin. I think they will pair up nicely.

so, i'm guessing this is a bot in action?

Bots are generally closely guarded secrets because they're so powerful. They take away the emotions of trading, so you can set a strategy and just let it go

I am seriously uncomfortable with the entire thing, to write for Devtome forces me to become a currency trader, something I wouldn't do in any other environment to get paid for my work.  I suspect a lot of newcomers are going to be challenged by it as well so a bot would be awesome and might make this just a little less traumatic for some of us

If you are able to make one for commercial sale, would it ever be affordable for a writer or developer being paid in DVC?

The thing with markets is you'll never know if you're actually taking advantage of fear or if you're simply providing liquidity (ie someone is genuinely purchasing/selling them for an intended use). It's a bit like how some countries have the practice where there's only one real bullet in a firing squad, so no individual shooter knows if they were the one that took the life.

I think though, that real success in trading means actually hoping and even being a bit delighted by fear/negative forces to help with that success. In the end, those who might not be as hard-nosed or cant afford to lose so they react to fear, are always going to be the losers. (IMO)
