Yes and it's get paid in devcoins, not $.
There are a lot of those ads yes but also heap more saying just "get paid" or "make money writing". Even the review on Money and Potatoes starts off with "Freelance Writer? Earn Some Extra Money With Devtome".
I am trying to suggest that more people ARE going to come for that reason and its worth looking at ways to make it simpler because that will generate more interest.
You keep referring to 'traders' but I also don't get that point. DVC is obviously global. If you found a job that paid in £ then you'd want to exchange it to A$ at a bank, or turn it down because it's too complicated. It's the same for devcoins. It seems what you mean by 'trading' is risk of losing money compared to what you expected. Well that risk is down to you and every other devcoiner working to support it.
I am not trying to argue, just trying to clarify my perspective but I accept other currencies for work already and pay out in other currencies, it either goes through an online gateway or by direct debit to my bank - there is no complicated, just a fee. BTC has to be exchanged for FIAT but even that is not complex, localbitcoins and word of mouth works well enough.

I know its down to me, I really am doing my best to contribute and I hope, when I actually get to "trading" something I get it right because getting it wrong seems to be causing everyone else problems .. (going by the previous conversations on here re: newbies dumping and selling at the wrong times etc so value drops)

If writers in particular find the process difficult then it should be writers who find a way to make it easier and more efficient.

A few questions:
1) Did you buy dvc before earning them because you valued the work you saw?
2) Have you bought any since for similar reasons (not speculative)?
3) Have you personally traded your dvc for fiat with others who valued your work specifically?
4) Or to anyone who just appreciated the general concept?

No, but I am not sure they are necessary steps to joining or contributing to the community are they?

If you're not that concerned about price stability then why all the talk of of trading risk and prices?
I thought I explained...the stability of the price is not in my control so I cant screw it up but I can screw up the trading part ..
