Devcoin

[doublec]

Anyone else mining devcoins,  I have a pool setup with merged mining and I'm up to 80,000 shares and not one devcoin block solved yet, but when I go to pool.devcoin.org, that website seems to be getting blocks every 2000 shares.  Is there something wrong with the system.

mmpool has mined a few. It gets about 15-20 out of the 120 immature generations. I assume most of the rest is Eligius.

I already requested the shares be sent to another address so this stops happening but it wont kick in until block 28000 or something

Can't you change the wallet used by your pool?

[cablepair]

sure I can, but It really does not bother me, and I am sure the miners must realize something is messed up by now and they are just milking it



oh well

its all good , a little something to keep the pool hashrate up

I moved my miners away, with the current difficulty there is no point

however I do have good news - I have hired someone finally to do the stats, so I will be back up with BTC/NMC/BTC stats in a few days


btw: i am sure Luke-JR has added DVC merged to his pool but dont let it get to you - his intentions really aren't malicious (yet anyways) he wants DVC to prove itself, and it will. He is not doing any kind of 51% attack - where he is forcing orphan blocks, he is just putting us through a trial by fire if you will, and that is fine - he told me "a coin that is killed by mining does not deserve to live" and I agreed with him.

Besides we are prepaired with a Plan B if things get worse.

you really need to lower the lowest amount you can ask for

at least add one more 0 to it, otherwise no one is going to use your exchange for DVC, not right away anyways

Only problem is that the lowest price you can bid on BTC-e is 0.000001 BTC per DVC, however that's higher than the current going rate for DVC, for example, the last price on Vircurex was 0.00000069 BTC per DVC.

Edit: Looks like cablepair beat me to it.

Edit2: btc-e: why not allow bidding to 8 digits, since that's what Bitcoin currently supports?

Thank you Btc Artist, Joakim Refsdahl and Viboracecata for joining devtome. Your user pages are listed below:

Sorry about the long delay in processing your application. The delay is because we didn't notice until yesterday that the 'request an account' emails were going to a spam folder. That spam folder is now being checked daily and the next requests should be processed within a few days.

For new writers, please check your spam folder for a confirmation email because most or all automatically generated emails are going to a spam folder. If you do not get a response within four days, please post on the devcoin thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34586.0


Since merged mining is done, the devtome writing payouts will start in round 8. To encourage more people to write, the per word rate has been doubled, from one generation share per two thousand words to one generation share per thousand words. At the prices at the time of this writing, a generation share of four million devcoins has a value of:
4,000,000 DVC * 0.000001 BTC/DVC * 7 USD/BTC = 28 USD

which is a word rate of 28 USD / 1,000 words = 0.028 USD/word. Word rates vary, but this is at the high end for freelancer articles:
http://www.freelancer.com/jobs/Articles/

and you can write whatever you want, however much you want, and port over stuff you've already written. There is no time wasted looking for gigs. If you wrote for wikipedia but a deletionist deleted your article or reverted your changes, this is perfect for you. Everything is under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. The writing has to be of at least reasonable quality, if the article is of poor quality it won't be accepted.

If you want to write to a particular subject, we'll see if there's a project that people are interested in and we'll ask people to write for that project.

Also, because the devcoin value has gone down since the Earn Devcoins By Writing page:
http://devtome.org/wiki/index.php?title=Earn_Devcoins_By_Writing

was written, the generation share option of the first article bounty is being doubled. So the first article bounty is now 5 BTC (or two generation shares, whichever you prefer) for the first five writers, 4 BTC (or 8/5 of a generation share) for the next five, etc..

I am able to log in to the DevTome wiki now, but I still do not see how one actually goes about editting a page. Is that something that needs separate activation? (My username there is knotwork).

If you were logged in as a confirmed user the 'View Source' tab would become an 'Edit' tab. I don't see a user page for you, so maybe you aren't confirmed. Try clicking on the 'My Preferences' link at the top of the page:
http://devtome.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Preferences

and, I'm not sure about this because I don't see it since I'm already confirmed, but I remember there was a button like 'Send Confirmation Email' or something. Click on that and then check your spam folder.

[cablepair]

you want to edit a page or create a new one?

If you want to create a new page type what you want to create in the search window and then if it does not exist it will give you an option to create one

Hi Mark,

Thanks for adding articles to devtome. To earn coins, after an administrator checks to see that the text is original, the tomecount.py script will parse the user page, then count the words in the articles and calculate the payouts. An example snippet is pasted below and at:
http://devtome.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Unthinkingbit&action=edit

Code:

==Articles==
===Collated===
*[[Home Remedy]] - Source: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ethnomedicine/Ethnomedicine_by_Illness Ethnomedicine by Illness] and [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ethnomedicine/Home_Remedies Home Remedies] - Improvement: Combined wikibooks with wikipedia articles

===Original===
*[[Devcoin]] - Source: [https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/blob/master/devcoin.html https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/blob/master/devcoin.html]

==Tip==
Coin Address: 17vec4jQGCzMEsTnivizHPaowE715tu2CB

Please add links to your articles in the same format on your user page. Also, if you are on the bitcoinshare list please use the same coin address, so that if a dishonest writer edits your coin address the discrepancy will be noticed.

The original work will be counted at full value, collated work will also be counted, although with a low weighting starting at 0.3.

its your own fault for setting an unrealistic minimum ask amount - you set it up to fail.

Very few people bought dvc at .0001 but how do you think they feel now that you have removed it? These are your users what are you going to do for them?

[markm]

Not to worry, a massive amount of work has been happening on the Open Transactions based currency-and-stock exchange so it looks like it is getting close to being useable for real...

Thanks Mark and Cablepair for adding your user pages. The tomecount.py script:
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/tomecount.py

can now update the payout spreadsheet for all writers:
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/tomecount.csv

and write the devtome bounty file:
https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/blob/master/devtome_bounty_8.csv

that will be added to the devcoin bounty file and so the writer payouts will get on the receiver file. The script will be run at around block 28,500, around Feb 2, to get the payouts for round 8. All writing after Feb 2 and will be paid in round 9 and later.

For the payout, everyone gets one generation share for each thousand original words. Also, if a writer has written at least a thousand words in this round and the last round, they get an additional share. If all goes well, in round 9 and later, writers will also get credited for collated words at a weighting of 0.3.

As of January 19, about 12,000 original words have been written.
