Re: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread

thanks for that link , i went there copyed and pasted the address from my browser, dropped it into my revised ebay add and again got this message.

Weve noticed that your listing included a non-clickable link. eBay no longer permits non-clickable or static links in listings (in item descriptions, payment instructions, return instructions, etc.). Please go back and either remove the non-clickable link, or update it to make sure it complies with the links policy.

They probably don't allow direct download links.

hmm not sure i know the difference between the one that works and the others that dont . i guess i will have to stick with the one thats working as it,s in all my templates and slips there attention .

I brought this up before while I was redoing the web site - some of the download links go to box.com, others go to some domain called 21stcenturymoneytalk... definitely not ideal. It be much better to host them all on devcoin.org but I can't make that call as there are bandwidth considerations involved.

Unthinkingbit - can you make this call or should I check with Jasinlee?

I want the official installer to be hosted on devcoin.org because I will use a web installer which allows you to select features and download the rest based on request. The full installer is 50 megs but the web installer is 0.5 megs I believe. I need a hosted link to do this.

That would be ideal but it sure sounds like this will really raise devcoin.org's bandwidth usage so I'll defer to Jasinlee.

Jasinlee - sounds like GIT might be the best approach for all the downloads except for Sidhujag's web installer.

I only see this GIT page:

https://github.com/doublec/devcoin

and it says it is "unofficial"?

If you give me ftp access to the site via PM I can do this. It has to be SFTP compatible. It is actually smaller bandwidth because the web installer is small and then the user will only download one OS selection.

Ah, that's great to hear! Devcoin.org is hosted on Jasinlee's server so you'd have to ask him for access.

If you just put it up on a blank page I can take the code and stick it into the site template and modify the page metadata for SEO purposes.

Can't wait to see the web installer in action!
