Thanks! Nice to see we're being heard, too, .

How exactly do you post an image on Devtome? This is all it says...

Earnings per Image


Each image adds 10 words to the weighted word count.

You upload it to an image hosting site like imgur or tinypic, then it will give you a link for image boards and forums. It will look like this without the **'s

And when pasted without the stars will work like this.

I'll fix it for you

Sorry, the syntax is different on the wiki.

Thank you so much
I can't wait to finish that topic.

No problem. Yeah, it is very interesting from what I have read and seen so far.

That's only 1/6 of the discussion
If I had more privacy I'd get it all done sooner.

Lock yourself in the bathroom with your laptop and write away! Lol.

DVC prices has been slumping over the past few days...makes me a sad barnacle


Incidentally, what sorts of goods/services do people want to see offered for DVC? I can't seem to find a whole lot of goods to spend them on, tbh.

DeVCoin is not producing any more coins really than "normal" until it reaches the block at which, if it had been bitcoin, it would have halved the block reward. That isd, when it is approximately four years old. Until then it is not doing anything different than any normal coin really.
So maybe the only trick needed is to somehow make sure that when we reach that point we are still growing enough that people are actually glad we aren't halving the block reward.
I don't think that is really very difficult
...

Is there any way to quantify the total dvc volume ties up in OT reserves, GM loans and securities? I find the game ideas interesting but honestly struggle with the abstract (actually not so abstract, but I don't yet have my head fully around this) nature of the 'virtual' vs 'real'.

Generally, there's not really an issue with the economics, it's just about perception. Which, putting aside my own specific views, is interesting because it demonstrates just how early these developments must be in the move towards progress.

Only because the price of Bitcoin is rising. It will even out though

The devtome wiki syntax page seems to assume images will be on third party sites, which surely is wrong since images are supposed to be uploaded to the wiki, for example that ensures they are appropriately licensed and also makes sure they actually still exist, we cannot go relites to retain our images for us.

I upoaded an image to the root of the images galleries, but cannot find any working syntax for causing it to actually get displayed on a wiki page.

Anyone know how? Hopefully in a portable way that does not rely on directory structure but, rather, the namespace structure?

I tried {{root:yeworld.jpg}} but that doesn't work so no idea how to tell it the namespace. Trying just the file name with no namespace didn't work either, nor even did putting square brackets around it nor using /root/yeworld.jpg on a wild guess that just maybe the root namespace might correspond to a directory named root...

The Digitalis Open Transactions server has issued 220 million dDVC (digiDeVCoins) so far, corresponding to 220 million actual devcoins secured in cold wallet vaults.

Of those digiDeVCoins how many are in what account gets somewhat more political. I think Martian regulations only require corps to show any kind of balance sheets and such to shareholders who own 10% of the corp, so its not like you could buy one share of a corp to get a list of all the assets it holds...

I added the syntax description to:

Because of a bug, images have to be part of a link to be displayed, the link can be to anything. An image link looks like:

[[link to anywhere|{{image file name}}]]

Many images can be seen in the devcoin gallery:

Thanks. Been doing some reading on open transactions and had a listen to an oldish cypherpunkd interview with fellow traveller. Appreciate you don’t speak for him and vice-versa, but have a few basic questions if you have a mo to entertain them:

(1) OT combines some digital cash concepts. It creates an untraceable, anonymising exchange for say btc, into any other currency type/basket etc. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, what's the basis for it's ability to legitimately do this but not exchange other (fiat?) into btc as a starting point?

(2) Following from (1), if it can't serve a role as a starting fiat exchange point does that infer that OT is treating all assets as virtual from the point of its involvement in a process, such that transactions/exchanges incorporating OT are dependant solely on the self-verifying nature of contracts created (i.e. all good so long as you know another party will accept your contract – e.g. an OT ‘US dollar’ as a US dollar etc?).

(3) A large part of what I’m reading seems to build upon the example of btc as the backing asset/currency, facilitating transactions rather than necessarily acting as the medium of exchange itself. Is the choice of Bitcoin purely circumstantial i.e. it could be any crypto really, or does this perhaps add weight to the idea of Bitcoin in its limited numbers serving a different monetary role to any actual medium of exchange proposition; rather as the backing medium or commodity.

(4) Following from (2), I’m left with a better appreciation of the growing blur between ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ assets. Frankly, what is a financial asset anyway, it seems a moot point which future cash flows are more imagined or real.

Hope that makes sense (posted here as the OT threads are more technical). Cheers
