so to post pics on devtome I have to have them hosted somewhere else correct? Devtome doesn't have storage space where I can upload pics?

I would have some interest in this but I don't think I would be the best representative by my onesies. If I had enough time I could make it so I'm at least on the East Coast around that time so I could make it.

'One sided trade flow'. I think too much talk and incentive structure is about earning/getting dvc. That results in a focus on how/why/where to sell. This undermines the entire point of devcoin, which is to fund open source work, and therefore needs as much if not more focus on support, buying and adding value.

I don't disagree with you, but my impression of the whole devtome thing was to get more people involved, as a basis to better support open source development with the rest of devcoin. I thought the problem was that progress was just too slow / ineffective, and other things (like attracting commissioned work) was the next approach.

I don't know what the metrics of devtome were, but say if only one out of every 1000 people are actually interested in having a long term relationship with the devcoin project, as a supporter/investor, what's the best way to find them?

Sidhujag mentioned in his post that the devcoin project started becoming an umbrella for profitable open source developments. I actually think that's a far better idea than to rely on donations entirely. It reminds me of China Pre and Post capitalist restoration.

Mine was at block 1233.. I dont remember the last two numbers, I didnt realise it could be important but I will take more note in future.

The client is the win32.exe from here:http://dls.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/dls/devcoin/devcoin-win32-setup.exe, Version 0.3.25.1
 
I dont understand what you mean by "full download" ? (sorry if that's a dumb question, I am very new at this)

Solution: re-installed the client.

Tested Android client 1.0.5 with Windows wallet 1.0.15.

Windows -> Android : 0.0001 DVC ends up in 1.0001 DVC payment (1 DVC payment fee)
Android -> Windows : 0.0001 DVC ends up in 5.0001 DVC payment (5 DVC payment fee)

From Windows wallet to Android Wallet: received.
From Android Wallet to Windows wallet: still waiting (2 hours already). The client says that the payment has not been transmitted yet. Blocks are up to date so the payment process seems to be hanging somewhere within the client.

Sidhujag mentioned in his post that the devcoin project started becoming an umbrella for profitable open source developments. I actually think that's a far better idea than to rely on donations entirely. It reminds me of China Pre and Post capitalist restoration.

Yea I think that was the original intent:

intent a) Donations to open source developers.. people can get paid for work that they wouldn't have otherwise, creates incentive to become an open source developer and thus un-commercialize the software sector
intent b) Support profitable developments that come out of this. So if you have some source code that is yours or you can distribute and others can copy at will, as long as it is still open source then if you create a business out of this, Devcoin will support you. I think what I'd like to see is profitable businesses that Devcoin supports, however that help devcoin in some way such as accepting devcoin or if it is a Devcoin funded project then provide all profits directly to Devcoin... as more projects come along and compete for scarce devcoins for funding, they start to become more valuable and higher profits as a result if they already aren't profitable from the getgo.

Devtome was supposed to start getting small amounts of shares to attract some quality writers that would ge tnothing otherwise, providing an avenue to do what they love, aswell as providing quality reading material, and at the same time drive ad revenue up which I think was supposed to be the source of income for writers. So as revenue rises, more writers come in, more attention to devcoin itself. At some point if there was so much revenue that we put a cap on writing profit then we would use the rest to buy devcoins at market or something like that. However what we ended up morphing into was solely a share based system where the investors buying devcoins are the only  ones to basically support or provide income to writers... and there is no notion that I see of ad revenue, or it being a factor at all. If there is no incentive for it to go up, then it won't. If we see some numbers like word count is 2x from last 3 months and ad revenue is 1.5x for last 3 months and we track these metrics then we can get a timeline and extrapolate how much money we need to support a profitable writing site, and then decide we keep with it or should we use that thousand or two thousand shares to maybe fund a different model.

Slow progress - perhaps. People don't need to have a long-term relationship with devcoin, but then getting paid needs justifying through value to others or it's just random charity.

Not going to happen, but I think the best way to find them would be to stop paying. Focus resources on actually funding valued open source work and people who value their work first for the sake of that work not financial reward - either direct payments where value is demonstrable, or revenue driven where debatable and let participants build or not build up what they think has value. Which may still include devtome and many devtome writers but not with current incentive structure.

That's not a popular opinion, and likely construed as 'writer-bashing'. It isn't, it's unsustainable economics bashing. People here seem to miss the point that devcoin prices on value. It swings to low prices and never really recovers as a function of pay, and then a function of the lowest common denominator. If the real world pays $X for 1,000 words then any equivalent dvc payment > X will be sold and the price will revert over time. All else being equal, at some point each/most rounds market mechanics work to drop the price to a level commensurate with or closer to what 1,000 words may be worth. And then lower because a lot of devtome writers aren't professional writers or, to put it politely, writers.

All else isn't equal though, so price variance is higher. But the point remains. I see the incentive structure (not devtome, or writers, or dumps) as the problem. If devtome's subsidy is perpetual without justification, then that's cool - creative commons writing is considered valuable for the mere sake of writing - but it's at the cost of everything else this project could be and that doesn't work for me.

I know what's happening....

Its because the old clients do not accept these small payments and you need a new client to relay the transaction.... so simply just click anywhere on your android wallet, like goto block explorer, let it start talking to your window client again, and it will relay the transaction to the network. The block explorer should have this transaction but you cannot connect to the block explorer because its not a new version of the client.

I noticed as soon as android connected again to the new window client it relayed the transaction instantly, since new blocks formed since then.

Its that or that there was not enough fees (maybe it wanted 6 DVC, 5 base fee + 0.5 txout fee + 0.5 txoutput fee = 6 DVC) so it just takes longer to relay the transaction... but I saw the payment go through after I started to navigate my android wallet again and it reconnected to the network.

The android wallet doesn't do the dust fee 0.5dvc per txout, it simply always is 5dvc per 1kb transaction. Most of the time this will get your transaction at the top of the queue but sometimes at the end of the blocks it will get put behind other clients whcih pay more fees to transfer the transaction.

Could writers expect a half decent residual on ad revenues over time?

Some cons that come to mind are that it would likely shape successful writers; successful in the sense of reward in DVCs; to write in a fashion that is search engine friendly and could possibly put a bias on the writing if the motivation was reward related.

If their share in ad revenues was perpetual then is it possible to see the same reward, or better, over time that may, now, be had in one time share splits?
