It's certainly a lot more user-friendly, and the smooth design I think will help inspire confidence. I was thinking originally that you were going to move all of Devtome's content to a new site (which seemed quite momentous), but now I see it's more of a portal site to get people into it. I think it could do with some more content, since right now it's pretty spare, and there's plenty of existing content from devtome and the thread here that can be ported.

So far it looks like the new windows installer is good (not sure if people want to test it more before it's included), so you could add the link for that:
http://media.andarazoroflove.org/Devcoin-Installer.exe

The 'where to spend devcoin' page can be updated to include:
http://altcoincards.com/
http://dvc4giftcards.us/

The 'earnings and payouts' tab can include these links:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_stats
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_page_views
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devtome_analytics
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=earn_devcoins_by_writing#earnings_per_word

I think the more people are able to see the backstage process for payouts right up front, the more confidence they'll have in joining the system.

I also think it should include a couple of links to where people can trade dvc for btc and dollars. Some people might want to invest in an alt currency, but a lot of writers from the mainstream-non-hacking world are just going to want to buy groceries. If they successfully pay for their groceries, then they might think, "Oh, hey, this is totally legit," and be more willing to invest in an altcoin, and dvc's reputation goes up.

What do people think about doing a 'my personal experience with devtome' sort of testimonials section? We don't want to make this all "omg devtome is srsly so awesome la di da di da!!!!" But I think people respond to genuine, short, pragmatic personal stories of success when they're trying to figure out if this is something they want to do. I wouldn't have joined devtome if not for a miner friend who convinced me it was legit. Other writers might not have miner friends, and they need something else to convince them its legit.

Another point, which might or might or might not apply to the new site: a lot of mainstream writers are not going to want to put up their material (even if they're not making money on it otherwise) under a free culture license out of fear of that license being abused. At the very least some links to places that explain the benefits of free culture licenses could be listed for writers who are afraid to release material under a liberal license. Some choices might be:

http://questioncopyright.org
http://freeculture.org/

I can add these to the "earn devcoins by writing page" (unless editing that is restricted), but I'm not sure if this level of detail is necessary for hypersire's site at its current size.

Hypersire, thanks for doing the site!
