https://github.com/decred/decred-binaries/releases/tag/v1.5.0-rc1

v1.5.0 first release candidate is out!

If you like to live on the edge and want to try out the latest goodies from Decred v1.5-RC1 look no further!  

Be sure to let us know if you find any issues as we gear up towards a final release.




Some New features:

- This release introduces the privacy features based on CoinShuffle++.
CoinShuffle++ cooperative mixing features are added. Through this process, tickets may be bought from outputs in a CoinJoin transaction. CoinJoin change is not anonymized, and must be isolated to a different account and mixed down at standard amount values.
This implementation of CoinShuffle++ currently requires a central server as a coordination point between all peers in a mix. The Decred project operates a server at https://cspp.decred.org/, and more details about correct usage can be found there. Anyone is able to host their own server and configure their wallets to use it, but for the largest anonymity set it is best that most people remain using the same server.

- It also includes a preliminary Lightning Network implementation by matheusd. Most of the other work was completed by vctt and a new member of the team, bgptr. Many thanks to them for their hard work on this release.
This initial support should give users a chance to experience the capabilities of LN while we can also collect user feedback about how to best improve their experience with documentation or help.
To enable LN support, please set the new option "ln_enabled" to "true" in your config.json.

- Window size responsiveness has been added to most of the pages to allow for graceful change from small, medium and large screen sizes. When in "small" mode, the sidebar is moved to the bottom of the screen much like a mobile app.
When in "medium" mode, the sidebar is collapsed shows only icons. When in "large" mode, the sidebar is fully expanded and all the fields are fully shown.

- Dark mode (tonality) has been updated to have a more thoughtfully compiled pallette of color combinations. We can now start to develop other color modes if users show an interest in such a feature.

- Update Politeia proposal fetching to reduce amount of data that is consistantly requested. Previously, every load of decrediton would cause an unnecessary amount of data to be requested.

Hey, @Wind_FURY, looks like our shilling worked and somebody decided to buy lots of cheap Decred for staking Cheesy




Haha. I was not shilling. Staking is/was cheaper. Cool

Yeah, I know, I was just kidding Grin But some ppl indeed chose the right time to buy more Decred. I hope it hit rock bottom a couple of weeks ago and we're not gonna see those prices again.


Only the market can decide if people chose the right time. We can only buy the dip, and do dollar-cost-averaging if it dips futher than expected. Cool

Sure, that was only my opinion, I should've added something like "IMHO" at the end of that sentence

Decred dev funding and governance mechanism are brilliant features, and the airdrop bootstrapped a community of enthusiastic supporters, and staking via tickets system keeps a lot of coins locked up earning income for holders. The whole decred design is very well thought out, that's why guys who messed up the airdrop are still upset.


Blockchain governance's "brilliance" is not yet proven in my opinion. Give an angry, and motivated minority enough reasons, and they will fork, and the chain will split.

That's another great feature Decred was designed against. It's very expensive for a minority to maintain a working fork of Decred. The protocol just doesn't allow for it like, e.g., Bitcoin does.
...that's not to say a motivated minority couldn't just go and copy pasta the github repo and release their "fork" that way: but there are different implications for that kind of deployment.

Don't you understand? NOTHING might stop a minority from forking of, and cause a split in the chain if they disagree with what's changed in the protocol. Changes in the protocol that can ever never be removed anymore.

What until Decred gets its own scaling debate.

I didn't say "NOTHING". Cheesy Absolutely some minority can go and fork and launch. What is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY is that any minority has the resources to maintain an ongoing, contentious fork (because of the way consensus is reached in Decred, with PoS/PoV miners). Maybe that frames up the correct scenario?

There was a nice article some time ago that delve into the numbers of maintaining a contentious fork alongside the "real" fork in Decred. It was enlightening. If I find it, I'll post it Cheesy


Then is blockchain governance pointless? That was the question.

Yes, I would like to read it, thanks.

... Cheesy They are known people...

Thanks for this explanation, I already edited my post above to not confuse anybody.

To be honest, I never heard about them, exactly as about this Decred airdrop we have discussed above, so again I have expanded my knowledge about cryptocurrencies  Cheesy.

Sometimes even FUD brings something positive in the end  Wink.

...jy-p (Jake Yocom Piatt) from Decred and jyap (Julian) from bittrex are not the same person

undermines the credibility of your claim, because it is not really known if it indeed is the same person.



 Cheesy They are known people

This is jy-p aka Jake Yocom-Piatt from decred





And this is jyap aka Julian from bittrex

Sorry, but your explanation tells me nothing and you provided no examples or anything else to prove your words.

Additionally, this statement

...jy-p (Jake Yocom Piatt) from Decred and jyap (Julian) from bittrex are not the same person

undermines the credibility of your claim, because it is not the same person.

Gambit, of course, I am sorry for your loss, but to blame them with no proofs is just FUD because so far I haven't seen any evidence that this airdrop was as you claim "FRAUDULENT".

Even more Decred supporters presented evidence that everything was fine, you quoted it yourself, so tell me who would you believe in my place?

Could you explain a little more or provide any source for more information?
No, because there was no phishing or scam. Gembitz is just mad he missed it. All you needed to sign up for the airdrop was a social media account with some significant posting history...

Now I am surprised and literally don't understand why such an obvious FUD from Gembitz?

@Gembitz can you please explain what you mean with: "the "airdrop" was a bittrex insider phishing scam"?

I would like to hear both sides of the story before drawing final conclusions, such an ordinary human caution, forced by my experience  Wink.

Of course, thank you Jwinterm for fast answers and explanation. I would like to hear more details about this airdrop, like how long it was ongoing, who can participate, how much coins were distributed, when was the start and the end, and so on. That is why I asked for a source of information because I wanted to know more details.



what i really need to REPOST the screenshot showing the "acceptance" letter? :\ hmmm + i found out i'm not the only one this happened to!!

you are delusional the "airdrop" was a bittrex insider phishing scam  Tongue Roll Eyes Angry  you new here?

I was wondering also what he is talking about, only I was surprised to hear about Decred airdrop for the first time.

Never posted much in this thread but I frequently checked Decred and wasn't aware that there was an airdrop at all and now I hear that was "bittrex insider phishing scam"  Huh

Could you explain a little more or provide any source for more information?

Like he said, gembitz is our resident troll. Plz don't over-feed him Cheesy

I will advise reporting all posts which are obvious FUD like this one about the airdrop and moderators will remove it, only add a proper description to let them know what is going on.

I am in the [CLUB] The SpamBusters! Busting rule-breakers for more than a year. for a long time and reported already almost 3000 posts with 100% accuracy.
Many times I have reposted posts which were total bullshit, nonsense, lie or FUD. As I said not only spam gets removed.

And you don't need such posts in this thread because it only brings confusion and put Decred in a bad light, despite is not true.
This is the real power of FUD, no matter if it is true, the only thing that matter is to throw mud and spread false accusations and bad advertising, which obviously is the case here.

I think decred's airdrop was the first or at least one of the first to be performed in the crypto universe.
It attracted many members who are still in the community today.
Many people said that as soon as the currency entered an exchange, the airdrop would be dumped by everyone and DCR would "die."
The opposite happened. Few sold, hype attracted a lot of people and decred was born with a strong community.
After that a large number of shitcoins created airdrops thinking the same thing would happen, but decred was unique...

Thank you very much for this answer with all the detailed pieces of information about Decred airdrop.

Exactly what I was asking for and of course awarded this post with merit to show my appreciation and how valuable it was for me.

I don't see anything suspicious here, even more, that was really decent airdrop with clear requirements, so really don't understand all these FUD above?

Clam was probably the first relatively large scale successful airdrop, maybe not the first, but way before decred. There was if course the infamous auroracoin airdrop that never happened, afaik, but also 2014ish. Stellar Facebook giveaway shitshow also around then. It wasn't really an original idea by the time decred did it, but it seems like they did a pretty good job vetting people and still achieving relatively widespread distribution.
