It seems to me that the real solution would be a way for people to spend their DVC directly, without affecting the exchange rate.
Thoughts?
Wholeheartedly agree. Other than computer parts and setting up bounties in this thread, I frankly see little in the way of Devcoin services...
Perhaps we should start a gambling site and/or a sale hub like Atlantis or BitMit. Those seem to be (relatively) simple ways to get some real DVC value in a short time.
