By receiver.cav it mean receiver_19.csv in this case. receiver.csv is just the base filename that the round number gets put into to name a specific instance of such files.

Apparently it either does not have write permission to write the file or the space in the path is making it maybe even think the directory it is to write the file to does not exist.

The current client can not handle spaces in the path, the next version should and hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks. You could try manually making a folder called 'receiver' in your .devcoin folder and copying all the receiver files into that. If that doesn't work, you could try putting the receiver files into the same folder which contains the devcoin executable.

Does the new receiver.h have this fix for spaces in paths?

Yup, the receiver.h which Twobits made has the change:

232c234
<       string directoryPath = (filesystem::path(fileName)).parent_path().string();
---
>       string directoryPath = getReplaced((filesystem::path(fileName)).parent_path().string());

Maybe the first post can be updated to point to the builds at https://www.box.com/s/1mqfk22gyqq97ytdmifi  ?  I think they do help with the bootstrapping issues many see.

I have built devcoind with the new reciever.h

Moved ~/.devcoin/receiver to ~/.devcoin/receiver.gone

Now to see if it does in fact bootstrap itself up without needing me to manually provide it with the receivers files or directory...

(Will edit with results soon, currently it is just opening its wallet / scanning blockchain...)

...Okay, it created a new receiver directory and populated it! Cool.

I have been struggling with installing Devcoin on windows and just wanted to say that Twobits' installer is just great. Just how it should be

[shadypepe]

thinking about it, what about a futures market for dvc? the system is basically predestined for it because somebody knows for sure he/she will get paid in a months time but maybe needs money today. buyers of a long futures contract wouldn't even have to trust the other party because they can look it up when and how much they will receive. also i guess it would bring certainty/stability to the price

There is a new listing on cryptostocks - ASCMDVCPT

https://cryptostocks.com/securities/39

This has been setup by user twobits, so I think he is entitled to the business bounty if he sells $1 worth of stock? unthinkingbit?

I have created a thread at his request to help answer some questions relating to the investment so he can carry on doing the good programming that he has been doing of late so please post any questions here:

Please show your support fellow devcoin users and this is a great opportunity as I see to invest in ASICMiner shares and help boost devcoin value with the buying of devcoins from dividends paid out by the ASICMiner shares

[markm]

How many shares would we need in order to propose a motion that ASICMiner merge DeVCoins into their mining?

Shareholders should already anyway be complaining that ASICMiner is not merging an optimum number of chains into its mining, it is failing in its duty to shareholders of producing maximum earnings with its equipment!

Are we to support an operation that is so lax in its duties?

has anyone proposed this to friedcat? that they mine on bitparking some of their hashing power... are they? bitparking saw mass increase not to long ago...from 1TH to like 4-5 now?

People have posted suggesting mm in their thread.

They are also starting to mine on bitminter now, so presumably getting nmc.


Personally I am glad that I can still mine some of the other coins and they are not yet.

[markm]

Well if they are merged-mining DeVCoins I guess adding a passthrough for them to a DeVCoin exchange is fair enough then.

Whoever can solve my problem I will give you 1 000 000 DVC.

Can someone provide me with an idiots guide to using : https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/bitcointools  in Windows to import a private key into my Devcoin wallet? I am trying to do this with my Devda wallet's private key (in key.txt format) so I can actually receive my generation shares.

I have:
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Twobits' Devcoin wallet
- Python 2.7.6 installed (but I know nothing about python)

I have tried using the windows cmd console to run the command to import the prvate key, but I received an error that privkeyimport.py was a HTML doc, is this because I didn't download privkeyimport.py correctly from GitHub? Or could it be because I don't know anything about python?

I am in way over my head here and any help greatly appreciated (I am primarily a writer which is why I am writing on Devtome) - anyone who can take the time to write me an idiots guide that works to doing this - I will give you 1 000 000 DVC.

Thank you

EDIT: Please PM with any advice.

[markm]

If that is a clone or fork of Gavin Andresen's bitcointools, I think it is not what one uses to import private keys, maybe also not to export them. I think it does some other thing or things entirely.

What we use(d) to export keys from bitcoin wallets and import them into devcoin wallets was pywallet.py which is just a simple single file python script, (On github somewhere, google knows where.)

I still haven't received any coins into my wallet... is that a bad thing?
