Good to know!

Seems like vircurex is been hacked!

Thanks for the info, from:

Please do not further deposit any coins with to Vircurex or Cryptostocks. At this point in time we need to assume a compromise of the wallet.

We will update this post once we have finished our investigation.


PS: As to the coins: All fiat currency accounts are accounted for, the vast majority of the coins are stored in cold wallets and thus are safe.

Whatever the problem, follow Kumala's advice and don't deposit any coins with Vircurex or Cryptostocks until he says it's safe.

Thanks, although that's not really what I meant.

twobits: guess so, actually they told me wednesday they wouldn't be adding it. Should have truted your wallet with more as it goes, thanks for working on that btw.

Hello,
i just made my first article on great project devtome http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=cryptography .

I would like to ask how often is word counting script run? (i am curious if i will be counted for this round as there is block 88899 generated at the time of writing this )

Also I found very chaotic that there is now topic title on article pages - is it bug or feature? I mean when I come to some devtome article I can't see huge title "My article name" at the top as it is on wikipedia, etc.

Is Vircurex not loading for anyone else?

Vircurex is suffering an issue:

The systems Vircurex.com and Cryptostocks.com have been taken offline over the weekend
Please do not deposit any further coins to your Vircurex accounts. We must assume that the wallet has been compromised.

The devtome earnings will be calculated at block 89,150, instead of the expected 89,000.

The earnings used to be calculated two weeks before the receiver files start getting loaded by the clients to ensure that even if one of the three file administrators did not upload their file quickly, there would be enough time for them to eventually come back from vacation or whatever. Since we now have five administrators we can afford to have one go on vacation, and have one site down, and we'd still have 3/5 files working. So the earnings can be calculated a bit later.

Calculating the earnings later means that the shares will be diluted a bit, in the round that the switch is taking place. So to even out the dilution between rounds, the earnings calculation for round 23 will be at 89,150, and the calculation for round 24 will be at 93,300. The other reason the calculation is being delayed this round is to give the remaining people who have a devda address a bit more time to get a computer address. To that end, the receiver files will not be made until round 89,300, to give people another day to send me a new address.

Since the block number is currently 88,934:

that means the earnings will be calculated on Sunday May 12, and the receiver files will be made on Monday May 13.

Some of my devcoin payments (for seeding nodes) were recently converted to BTC and sold nearly at the highest price so I have no problem with the  funding of these instances for about 3 years

Half of these instances are small ones, half - micro, but even micro instances was perfectly stable for a long time with average CPU usage at few % and memory usage newer reached 90% with 20+ connections.

Micro instances are free for one year and later can be converted to bigger ones (or earlier if any micro ones appear to be not enough).

I assume that it will be more reasonable to have several average servers, that one or two more powerfull.

P.S. Just checked - micro (smallest one, can get a lot more for free) instance with 39 active connections to node using only 64% of available memory - it is appears that even micro instance can handle seeding node with ease. In any case they have perfect networking (downloading complete devcoin chain takes about 2-3 minutes) and pretty stable - that is the main point.

Hello, I've implement a ripple gateway for devcoin, thus you could deposit devcoin into your ripple accout as IOUs, or redeem IOUs back to your devcoin wallet, back and forth, further more, you could thus exchange your devcoins to any other currency such as BTC LTC USD and more!

the site located at: http://ripple.d.evco.in/, and the gateway address is r3gHXhK1pwZFG9ESiaosxjufEVQjwGuJUd

For those aren't familiar with ripple, be sure to trust the gateway address with adequate DVCs first, so you could receive desired amount.

Fees: No fee for deposit; 10 DVCs charged for every single redeeming, which required for devcoin network payment; exchange fees to other currencies are automaticly charged by ripple network, we do not charge exchange fees.

Warning: The site is on alpha testing and errors may occur at any time, so do not deposit too much devcoin.

[xchrix]

cool. thanks for the service! sent you 400 DVC and already got it into my ripple account.
then i have tried to trade DVC/USD from you to bitstamp. input an order but it doesnt show in the orderbook. dont know why maybe bitstamp has to trust you?!?!?!?!

btw: have you developed this service on your own or is there an sample application for this type of service?

I'd suggest you try DVC/XRP first, if it works, then we could know that bistamp sucks if not, I may have to adapt something ...

btw: have you developed this service on your own or is there an sample application for this type of service?

there's sample code from ripple foundation, but not work 'cause it's released january, I ajust some code so that it works. but I don't know if there is any other flaw so I label this service as alpha...

ok trading DVC for XRP worked but something is confusing. when i enter an order to buy DVC for XRP my order is showing in the orderbook (currently 3 orders in there) but when i want to sell DVC for XRP i get the message that my order was accepted, it shows on my open order list but not in the orderbook!?!?!?
