Alyssa85, Eeh and Flam are handling Earnings. Alyssa85 is an Earning Factotum because she is already an Article Admin, Eeh and Flam are Earnings Admins. They check new writers when they have more than a thousand words and see that their devcoin address is from their computer. When they give the ok I add the devcoin address to the devtome earnings list and the writers are then counted by the devtome.py script. Alyssa85 handles A-F, Eeh handles G-O, and Flam handles P-Z.

ahh, i see i can message alyssa85 and it looks like she will be able to help me

edit to add: also i see i have a message from unthinkingbit that says payment for block 32 should be near end of february? i think I answered my own questions, lol.

The payment round will start 18 days from now as you can see here: http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com/
The payment round starts 20 days after the deadline.

Its cool and we can use gann numbers to come up with support and resistances.. once people find useful information it will become a hub to find outthe market status of a crypto. Also related news for each crypto with links.

Ie for maxcoin give the link to the video where max kieser first talks about the coin after release as people are waiting for this still eagerly..

A decent regular market outlook would be good. I think most technical analysis is voodoo, but it's popular so it needs watching particularly very short term where most voodoo people seem to play.

[Hunterbunter]

i'm looking at http://dvcusdchart.blisteringdevelopers.com/ and wonder if it's possible to get my browser to auto update this periodically, like once per minute.... or is that something that would be an option on the page....

Hmm usually that's done on the web page via ajax or something. I'll look into it and make it better, I think the page needs a bit of an overhaul...google charts is easy but not very attractive imo. The page itself is also a bit spartan. Anyone know of any good looking javacript (or .png) chart systems?

Anything dealing with phsycology can be considered voodoo but it works generally.. most traders just fail to use proper money management and risk analysis prior to following thru with their plan which is why they complain it doesnt work.. any edge even 1% is advantage over a large number of trades usually because equity curve becomes exponential as it grows.

Blisterpool has made its second payment. No blocks or shares were found in the previous 24hrs, so only the 10k bonus dvc payment went out by hash split. If anyone has any miners they want to add, you can hop on the pool via http://blisterpool.com - same address with port 9332 for the miners, but register your dvc address for devcoin bonus payments.

The payments were:
5243.9 dvc to 1NV7mtzqW8g6r7kBm6r5FJKWpFN4z85Gu7
1252.0 dvc to me (didn't create a transaction)
3434.96 dvc to 1MxG6jwyxG1pTrWu5Hr12zyAjSYD1Y28XP
85.57 to 13TRk2LRQuPH926Dq4u1uL63gUvfX5wRN3 - although this won't be paid out until it reaches the 100 min dvc threshold, so this remains in balance.

I'll just round off the figures for future payments (sorry about the change! will keep it in the balance in the future, and make it whole dvc only)

The reason for the bounty is to see if Sidhujag's Daemon makes devcoin blocks that the old clients accept. We just need a single block for that. If it does, then we can make Sidhujag's the official client and archive the old one.

you need more than a single block. the new client needs to run side by side with the old client for a period of time and a number of blocks to ensure the chains don't diverge. there is a significant amount of testing needed by a pool operator here so they deserve a large bounty. not to mention the risk if the devcoin damon causes a bitcoin block to be lost. that's $25,000 that the pool operator would owe its miners.

has the new client been tested using 'bitcoin in a box' style testing? that is a closed network for testing merge mining and normal mining.

[nibyokwy]

has the new devcoin client added any of the hard or soft forking options that the new bitcoin activates? what has it done with regards to:

* version 2 blocks. i believe devcoin currently uses version 1 coinbases. when version 2 coinbases were first used in bitcoin the client had code that would reject version 1 blocks when a majority of version 2 blocks existed in the last X blocks. this was later removed once the supermajority was met and i believe the current bitcoin code now rejects version 1 blocks.

* is p2sh activated? p2sh transactions are unsafe if the majority of miners don't run p2sh enabled clients.

* there was a fork during the 0.8 version of the client due to the change to leveldb and differing locking behavior to bdb in the older client. this caused a chainfork when the old client rejected blocks that the new client created due to size constraints. a patch was created for old clients to enable them to have better locking constraints to accept the unusual blocks from the new client. this issue will exist in devcoin if miners run old and new clients. it will be possible for new client operators to force a chain split.

i'm sure there are other differences. were fee policies changed?

[Hunterbunter]

Done.

User Ratings (and more importantly comments!) now easy.

http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com/devtome

I'm storing the data on a local db, so I'll set it to rescrape once a day in case people change stuff.

Seriously, that new version really rocks!!

Bittzy78

Awesome!  May I suggest 6 shares for your rating addition?

Heya, that's fine with me, I've updated the code to my github repo with the source - https://github.com/hunterbunter/dvccountdown

Bittzy - I'm glad you liked it - any other suggestions/additions you'd like to see for it?

Wolong is starting to pump this coin now...

[sidhujag]

devcoin doesnt hav ea testnet so we couldnt run it live ona testnet, the only thing I did was do atest in abox setup which finds blocks on a new testnet running locally... it found those blocks using the mining proxy thats available from namecoin which calls the getauxblock rpc call in the code. It worked fine, but it wasnt merged mined because for that we need a devcoin node running the testnet that we can connect to

Hi guys, just wondering if someone can assist me with my wallet setup. I had to do a system restore on my computer, and before doing this i backed up my wallet and all associated files to a usb stick. After doing the restore, i reloaded all the files and wallet etc however my devcoin balance is not showing on my wallet, and there are new addresses generated. My wallet.dat file is is users/appdata/roaming. Thanks in advance.

*Bump*

Anybody?

you made sure to install the same version of the client again?

Try to just keep the wallet.dat file and the conf file if it exists in the data directory... delete your database and blockchain files and reciever files... let it download from scratch again.. you will see your coins. Make sur eyou dont lose your wallet.dat file its the only one you care about.l

Im up 40 % on UNO, ill give DVC pump a shot. GO DevCoin!

I like Wolongs pumps their not those short 1 minutes gold rush types, its much more slow and steady. Still gotta be careful.

A decent regular market outlook would be good. I think most technical analysis is voodoo, but it's popular so it needs watching particularly very short term where most voodoo people seem to play.

technical analysis can give you some basic idea if there are cyclic variations, and some idea what's " normal", but without qualitative analysis, yes, it's voodoo.... for instance, i have been sitting on 8 sell orders of 1000dvc each for about a month. while the normal trading range seemed to be dropping (the voodoo would have said to cancel my more ambitious orders, and cut my losses) i just let them sit... sure enough, DVC went up enough to execute 4 of my sell orders (with about 30% margin) and am within "spitting distance" of 3 of the other 4. you see, the qualitative part of the analysis had a press release a couple of days ago, plus a new influx of writers just before this round's deadline, plus the start of a new round... so i hung in there rather than cancelling orders that the "voodoo" would have indicated cancelling....

Wolong announcing DEV pump above 0.0001
 Is this trustable ?

Well there is large volume atm, with spikes everywhere (on cryptsy), so it's doing something.

There's a massive volume of devcoins out there, though, in comparison, and it would take a tremendous amount of btc to get it to 10,000 satoshis from...50-100. I'm not saying it's impossible, but if you include all the profit taking, I don't see it happening in a few days, and if it does it'll just be a spike and crash imo.

If it's not built on fundamental awareness / value, it's just a flash in the pan with so many devcoins in circulation.

Wolong announcing DEV pump above 0.0001

Where did he announce this? Do you have a link / source?

As more and more people discover DVC, and as the number of Devcoins in the shares for developers decrease - over the long term the value of DVC / BTC will increase considerably, as individuals will have less to dump on the market at any one time.

DVC should take a quantum leap in value sometime soon - whether from a pump or from ever increasing interest in DVC, or both
