Greeting devcoin fans and developers.

Is any here any interest in us supporting this altcoin on our site ?
We currently support BTC and LTC, PPC is in beta testing.

Each altcoin added has revealed areas in our engine that need improvements so we are finding that its good for our development

Thanks for the interest, but I'm concerned about blockchain bloat:

Also, to stop transaction spam, devcoin has a minimum transaction fee. I do like the concept of a quick lottery, it's just that until the blockchain bloat problem is solved, the problem outweighs the benefits. Sorry, but until the blockchain bloat problem is solved I prefer that Clone Dice, or any other kind of transaction intensive application, not come onto devcoin.

You might consider making a lottery site where an account is made, people can buy as many lottery tickets as they like, and the draws are made according to the next bitcoin block. Since a block chain transaction would be made only when people deposit or withdraw money, or a winner is found, there would be much less blockchain bloat.

If the lottery site technique is used, or if bitcoin ever implements blockchain pruning, I would like to see Clone Dice on devcoin, and at that time it would get a bounty.

Unfortunately the account system is not in our current scope, we see holding onto funds in that manner as an increased liability and we prefer our client always having their balance in their own hands.
So by our preference as a company account systems are unsuitable and we feel they detract from the rush of gaming.

A bounty would not be required if you wanted Clone Dice in the future, a quick message is all it takes

We appreciate the concerns people have regarding the blockchain strain, we ourselves recommend multibit for our bitcoin gamblers thanks to its quick sync and use of the bitcoin URI scheme.

Multi Bet and sendmany are 2 things we (I mean code monkey) are currently working on which should reduce the load we create on the network by 30-45%

Thanks for the feedback.
We will continue to monitor the general response and feel of the devcoin community before we move ahead with game support.
