hey looking at my stats here https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/devtome_33.csv

Why does it say images 0? I have 30-50 pics uploaded? Also I haven't been rated yet, so why is my earnings multiplier 0.93? I should've gotten 32 shares for 32,000 words but I see only 30?

Not sure I'm reading this right, the file is very confusing.

I lost 2 shares as well, not sure why but after the words were finalized I had suddenly been counted for 2000 words less than I actually had.

I haven't been here that long, so apologies in advance for any ignorance. If the writers are dumping coins short term, maybe you could come up with a system where you withhold part of the payment and if the writers hang around for a set period of time (maybe 3 months or something) then those coins get released? Or do you think that you are just moving the same problem down the road for a few months?

Of course they're dumping short term, they're writers and they're getting paid and they probably want access to their money. I don't think its a good idea to insinuate that the writers for devtome shouldn't get paid in full, I think it's a terrible idea. A GOOD IDEA would be to make DVC more acceptable to merchants so that rather than dumping the DVC on the market, the writers go spend it into an economy. If you can get a fair conversion out of it it's going to strengthen the coin longterm and give it what all this other nonsense that calls itself money doesn't have, a future.

The problem which is inherent in all currencies is that it has to be converted to USD to be used for anything. That's the point where it has to be stopped. However if there were a site that went straight from DVC to USD that would be more helpful too, since you would be skipping the BTC and going to straight to a dollar valuation. This could help strengthen DVC since it would lend legitimacy rather than having to go through a middleman (BTC). Since DVC wants to actually be legitimate it has to grow its own legs and stand on its own. So merchants and kicking BTC from the valuation, that's all you need short term Cheesy
