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.

Nice idea, but gamble isn't really something that would give coin a value Wink

We need some serious service accepting DVC

It would be a start, at the very least. There's nothing like gambling, alcohol, and sex to inherently boost the value of anything...otherwise Las Vegas would just be a random patch of desert

I'm tempted to throw a few things for DVC together. My schedule is crazy busy for the next 2 weeks though since I'm gearing up for a hackathon on the 15th.

When we are done with the ad network it will be be one good service. But I would suggest someone create an anonymous hosting/vps site that accepts dvc, possibly registrar also.

I still think we need to control the amount of devcoins in the market, I know the idea of having less coins is not a nice one ever, but think about it from this side, if we are able somehow to rise the value of devcoins what you win in value will make it up for the nominal loose, in other words, devcoin value now is 0.000001 of a bitcoin what if you spend half your coins to make it 0.0001.
With this value the services you are talking about here will start to appear out of nothing, like going downhill, while trying the other way around will be a lot harder.
