Devcoin

[FinShaggy]

man, don't you know there is something called DVC/BTC pricing pair? and please look into the market depth of it first.

Dude, if there are NO MORE coins for sale for cheap, everyone will have to buy the expensive ones. And it will drive the price of DVC/BTC up. So why don't YOU study it a little more before complaining.

Basically to break this down in laments terms. You spend $300, you get nearly 1,000,000 coins. And coins suddenly go up to 2x their value, so you can make almost $600 back over night, or the next morning.

man, don't you know there is something called DVC/BTC pricing pair? and please look into the market depth of it first.

I think you misunderstood him. he's basically saying there's an arbitrage opportunity if you own bitcoins so why not make some money while removing cheaper devcoins off the market.  It's actually a great idea but I don't have bitcoins.

I noticed it too but by the time I buy bitcoins depending on the price I get and if the ask moves up when I go to sell in USD then I may end up losing money.  I did this with IXcoin because I was trying to buy some but there were no bids while over on the BTC/IXC variation there was huge volume.  But by the time I got done buying and selling I paid an extra 25% for the ixcoins compared to the selling price in USD. 

Still got a great deal but still, this only makes sense if you have a few bitcoins laying around.  And I think that's what finshaggy was trying to say.  The USD price is nearly double compared to the BTC/DEV price.

Exactly.

Can someone refresh my memory as to which block no. the current round payout ends and when the next round payout begins?

Thanks!

2 and 3 look the same to me.  I like #1 best cause I can still see the DV and at the same time people associate the equality sign with currency, it's a global thing.

Thanks for doing something different.  Too many people were following the same cue.  I tried to do something different, but I'm not artist and I don't have photoshop so I spent over 1 week working on it but it came out too busy.  I say this is in the top 3, simple but different and clean.  marticps did a good job and this other guy with a coin I saw way back this contest started.  It's probably gonna be between you 3 but the final coin may look like a hybrid which would be the best I think.


Edit:  I see the difference between 2 and 3 now.  I'm still with #1 as people's eyes can see much more than one assumes and the mind more than that.  Advertisers make bank off that principle.  You have to have to leave something for the imagination, don't make it too obvious.

Prime example:  BAIRNWHSAED  


Edit 2:  Dextor, looks like you know photoshop.  Can you try your design in various shapes.  I'm not sure why every single person is using a circle.  Every single digital coin I have seen from every digital coin out there uses a circle.  I don't get it - This doesn't have to be practical, it's never gonna be manufactured and it's never gonna poke you in your pocket....it's Virtual.  So let your imagination run wild.   That's what I tried but I think it ran too wild. 

I'd  love to see what that exact thing (#1) looks like in a V.  Or a shape that resembles a C to get the full DVC.  Mess with it if it doesn't take you long, maybe you'll get something really unique.

good luck!

I remember unthinkingbit saying block 95,000 but i'm not 100%.  but then there's like a 1,000 block additional time added on I think during which time you can still keep working and adding value at whatever you do.  The latter part I remember reading on devtome a while back.  So probably between 2.5 and 3.5 weeks time.  good luck.

Thanks!

round 23 payout begins 92000, round 24 cutoff is 93300 (unthinkingbit amended the blocks due to admin/wallet availability/access respectively so 89000 became 89150 and 89150 + 4.15k is 93300).

Oh thank you, I will give that another look, didnt realize one was a GUI!

I saw you looking for ixcoin earlier as well, did you find that and my namecoin builds yet?

I'm looking for an ixcoin wallet but so far I've only found ones that work on 32 bit computers.  nothing that works well on 64bit.  If you know of one I'd greatly appreciate it.  TIA

You are on windows though right?   On windows and mac, the 64 bit OS also includes all the rtl support for running 32 bit programs just fine.  This is not the case with Linux.  This is why you see build for both with linux, but you don't need them for Windows.   The only coin right now that an end user may need a 64 bit build for is i0coin.       So 32/64 bit is not the issue.

However,   the seed nodes are gone that are in the ixcoin builds, so you are probably gong to need to find a node to addnode to bootstrap with.

@Vlad keep a backup of your wallet.dat file on 2 or 3 usb sticks. And ensure you wallet is encrypted and you know or have written down the key to unlock.

How do you back up your wallet on a usb stick?  I wanted to do that but I don't know which files to copy - it seems like the wallet has dozens of small files and I don't recognize them all.  That's why I decided to just move my entire user file which wasn't possible.  If I miss just one I'll mess things up again.  And I know, copy don't ever cut.  I didn't know cut was a delete function.

To back up the wallet, you need to stop devcoin and copy the wallet.dat file.

Rather then join in on the noble members that are donating to replace the lost coins I am going to do something else.  I think it we added the backup option to the gui this would not have happened.... so..


I am going to go a different way with this. Rather than helping to restore the lost funds I am going to offer a bounty to help make sure he and others do not try and backup their wallet that way again.   

I am offering a bounty of 75000 DVC for someone to bring out the backup wallet functionality to the GUI.  In addition I am offering another 75000 DVC if you also add sign/verify message to the GUI.   

One condition is that you pm me first, so I can know someone is working on it.  I can also send you some pointers that may help you along as well.

Dude, do you realize that you make it sound as if it was literally a Ponzi scheme?

Man, I wish so much that I knew even as a vague idea what that means.

Maybe this is the problem I was having.  It seemed like all the ixcoin wallets I found people were having a major issue.

But it's good to know about the 32/64 bit.  I downloaded 64bit on both my computers for devcoin and it works fine but I thought maybe there were other problems I wasn't seeing.  Now it makes sense so that's good to know cause I've seen other people on here asking about a 64 bit version.

I guess I'll have to wait for someone to find that node and get the IXwallet working.  For now my IXcoins will be safer at vircurex than here on my computer anyways.

But isn't the wallet.dat file just 1 of the many files in the devcoin client (wallet).  This is why I copied the whole user, I thought there many small files like logs and receivers, etc.  Can you confirm I just find the wallet.dat file and that's it.  1 file?  I can't believe I screwed up such an easy thing.

I don't understand what you're trying to have done but if it can prevent such a thing from happening to someone else I'll match your devcoin bounty, 75,000DVC and 75,000DVC.  I still have some devcoins in my vircurex account and someone could easily lose 10 times what I lost or more.  That's crazy, especially if/when the price of devcoins goes up.

Thanks again.

Ahahaaa.  I almost spilled my coffee reading that.

Touche.  The entire stock market is rigged.  Even with all the crazy hacking and Mt. Gox getting raided and the unreal volatility, these digital coins and their exchanges are more fair and easy to predict and make money on than any stock I've ever bought, with a few small exceptions, in my 20 years of investing.
