Devcoin is never going to do away as it's merge mined with bitcoin. It doesn't require miners on its network. This price is an all time low, but also litecoin is down from 250 to about 175, and doge from 102 to about 61, so the ebb is affecting many coins as people strengthen their positions in the mighty rising bitcoin. (percentages from over last few weeks)
Devcoin is similar to wages in that it is a unit of account for someone’s time and labor. People might be holding and feel that the trend is not good, but the merge mining basics will again, ensure devcoin does not disappear. I have lots of litecoins and I see the price drop but I don't care (much) as long term I see this happen again and again.
Interest buoys devcoin to grand highs every so often, as happened a few months ago. Personally I consider this a fantastic buying opportunity. And I will put my money where my mouth is. As those are my sentiments I am offering 30% discount on items at Amazonia Imports at
http://btcpipeshop.com/ Yes I know my store is a bit seedy and you might not find anything you like there, but I see this as an opportunity and I'm more than happy to scoop up your devcoins, ship you a physical item, and provide you a hefty incentive to do so.
Price is calculated in the coinpyemnts.net user interface, so the price you see on the website is the discounted price. Not only that but I only charge $10 flat fee world wide shipping, which also is discounted the same rate. There is an order limit of $60 (shipping not included) for this offer; devcoin orders over that will be refunded minus transaction fees, so please ensure you provide a working email address or I won't know how to contact you. As payments go through a third party I can't look at the block explorer and figure out where it came from.
Feel free to dump them on me as I love nothing more than getting coins that I know will be around forever at bargain basement prices. Bhaahaaahaaahaaa!!
