No, it's a coin I put together.

devcoin has a secret design a new coin contest.  I say secret because it seems full members and higher have no idea about it.

Here's what I know.


The contest lasts until they get 15 entry coins.

You get I think 2/5 of a share for the entry

First place gets I think 4 shares

Second I think 2 shares

Third place 1 share

The winning coin will be the new face and coin of devcoin but of course you lose all rights to it and they can do to it anything they want.  I tried to fight for 1% ownership but there's just no way.  I'm not an artist in any way which is why it took me entire days to just put together the coin you're seeing and i'm still working on the final image since I have to finish the whole thing and replace the center image to something made from scratch which will include dvc.

Thanks for asking, most don't know there's a contest which is part of the reason I put my coin up.  All these giant coin images might have annoyed some but it sure got the message out that there's a contest so now maybe there will be many more entrants and maybe some with real artistic talent.  I can imagine things like images but I have no artistic talent to get them out of my head.  lol

I just read a post by finshaggy where he outlined a bunch of ways to get the word out on devcoin. Most people are only focusing on bitcoin cause the value is so high not realize that the true potential is in coins like devcoin.  So I guess the first step in getting people actively in buying and mining devcoins is to get them to open up a devwallet.  


One of the suggestions on the list was to give away devcoins to people who open new devcoin wallets.  I know finshaggy already gave away a bunch of coins already, 60,000 I think I saw on a thread he started or maybe it grew, but I'll like to pitch in.  

Devcoin and Devtome gave me a great opportunity to earn coins and I was really amazed at that generosity cause there's simply no business out there that will let you show up and do the work you can and pay you in shares.  Can you imagine showing up at Nike and helping out and walking out with Nike shares?  I can't and that's what's amazing about devcoin.

It's this kind of thoughtful generosity, if practiced by everyone involved, can really help devcoin reach new heights and gain a big competitive advantage over every other digital coin out there, for nowhere can you and get free coins just for opening a new dev wallet.

I earned  some devcoins via writing last round but haven't been paid yet but I did buy some devcoins several times over the past 2 weeks so I have quite a few coins.  Well, not a lot value wise, but a lot number wise.

So I want to propagate the same generosity which was shown to me by giving away 100,000 devcoins from my vircurex account, which will hopefully work.

I'm not sure how to do this for optimal effect.  While I think 1,000 coins per new wallet would be the best way that would mean I have to send out coins 100 different times and I don't know how long it will  take.  If it's an easy thing to do then that's probably the best way, if not  then I'll do the first 25 NEW accounts.

I'm not gonna verify so let's have a gentleman's agreement that if you already opened an account and at some point got some reward that you won't submit it here for a second one.  And it doesn't necessarily have to be new as opened in the last 5 minutes although I would prefer if it were for people who will open a new account because of this offer since that's the whole point, to get more people actively buying, mining or earning devcoins.  

Let's get some feedback from people who have done this to setup the best and easiest parameters.  And maybe also start a new thread so I don't get put on ignore by everyone.


All feedback is appreciated.

Good to know, I see your point and I'll make a strong effort to minimize all my posts.  Thanks for the feedback.

Mods, let me know if it's best to open a new thread and link this portion to that thread so we don't get however many posts with people's account on this thread.  I'm still learning all this stuff and didn't realize some people get upset at non-relevant posts which I think giving away devcoins is.

I have to step out but I'll check back later. 

Some feedback please, would it be best to do just the first 25 new accounts as 100 is to many or is 100 better to reach more people.  There's 100,000 devcoins total.

I wasn't attacking you in any sort of way, you didn't accuse me of such but I am just clarifying. I get on here after school/work so reading through long posts like that before writing or trading or firing up the miner takes precious time away from those things. Giving away DVC is relevant in my opinions because it is helping to boost the economy. I too plan on starting a faucet when I get paid next month, after I invest in a decent mining rig. It's good to see someone new who is so enthused about the whole thing, just try to keep your posts short, concise, and to the point if you don't mind.

Somehow ppl dont read, thats why i write it in big letters:

DEVDA.CH does not interact with YAHOO, HOTMAIL or AOL
out of security reasons.

Thanks for understanding!

yes separate threads would be better I think. On the coin, unless you designed all that artistry yourself you may as well stop now. You can't take likely copied work/images and then utilise as open-source. Also, this is of course just my opinion, but I'd rather be blunt and save you some time and effort to expend on other things - but I don't like the design and I doubt many others will. It's too busy. At this point devcoin just needs to get the ball rolling on a simple recognisable logo/coin design.

I didn't get the 23 coins.  I do have some coins coming from round 23 so please let me know what I need to do.  thanks.

I finished the important part of my devcoin design which goes on top and replaced the current logo.  I don't have photoshop and the friend who helped me last time just couldn't help me out this time so I'm stuck submitting basically pure drawings.  I'm no artist so I had to use tools for just about everything which is why it took me so long.  I was going to add some latin words and some images but I think devcoin management is basically looking for a good idea and any coin which wins will most likely get altered to suit their tastes and needs so then I won't waste 3 more days adding things that are more personal than necessary.

So one would have to imagine this symbol which incorporates the entire devcoin logo: DVC in the image (but it's not spelled out plainly as I tried to make it as new and original as possible and like nothing I've ever seen) and I also managed to get the equality (=) symbol in there without looking like it's just another dollar copy.  For some reason all the currencies of the world seem to put that on so I felt maybe there's a good reason or maybe they're just copying the dollar.

AT any rate, including 2 images (and yes, I cropped them down to size this time, thanks for all the guys who helped me out earlier), one with 3 circles which were in part symbolic and in part to fill in a large empty section of the coin but with them the coin started to look pretty busy so I'm gonna post an image without those 3 circles.

Please feel free to criticize, comment or give feedback - I had the feeling today after a comment was made by one of the mods that the contest is literally in its last days which is why I'm submitting what I have.  it took a lot of work to put together what looks like just a few lines and circles.  Man!








Oh, and I guess it would help to put my original one on here so everyone can see which symbol is being replaced.  The wheel with log sticking out of it....I'm told it's a halo logo which I didn't know.  The new symbol is 100% made from scratch so just imagine this new symbol (above) on top of the microchip/IC wafer backdrop.  I simply don't have the software tools to combine them.





I Hope these help in any way to give devcoin the best and original coin in the entire new crypto currency industry I hope the final winner will be a true work of art for the new digital era.

Best regards,

Vlad
