Im pretty new to decred and i wonder if there is somewhere an easy guide how to buy tickets.

Working for a windows 10, wonder what it needs. does it need to be online 24/7 ? and is it an easy secure way to handle the coins?

Check out our docs:

https://docs.decred.org/getting-started/user-guides/using-paymetheus/

If you are using a stake pool, you do not need to be online 24/7.  If you are solo staking, you do need to be online 24/7.  

Either way, you retain control of your funds.  It is secure.

Thanks for the quik response will have a look and buy some tickets, when i see decred i get a new dash feeling.

but then a little cooler

Little cooler?

Dash is fully centralized on amphetamine man and will not have Lightning Network, smart contracts in a new high level language, ZK anon and a dev team formed by ex bitcoin developers  Cool

There will soon be new updates and current price is opportunity to get easy profit. Those people are not doing agree with me will realize in matter of days if I was right or not. Next updates will be caused of huge price spike which is necessary part of the market.

As far as I know, yes.  But remember, these milestones on github are soft dates.  This is the goal.

One more question about fees: Let's say the avg. fee (https://dcrstats.com/) is 0.5 DCR. I read that a ticket->pool uses 0.5 KB, so should I use 1.0 DCR as fee to compete with the avg? That seems very high.
Also https://dcrstats.com/ right now shows 0 DCR as average fee, is this correct or is it just not updated yet?

Those fees are reported on a per kb basis... so if the minimum fee is .2... you set your fee to .21 and will pay .21 * .5 dcr.

Of course, those average and minimum fees are on the previous block. In most cases you can assume that the next block will have very similar values but there is no guarantee.

When dcrstats reports 0 fees its because the ticket price is so high that no tickets are purchased. People just wait for a better price.

Also, if you don't know, pool ticket transactions are bigger than solo ones. Solo are about 300 bytes each compared to 500 from pool.
So if you are purchasing solo, multiply the fee by 0.3

Hi, noob question here. I previously bought a few tickets with success and earned some subsidy but now the wallet says I have insufficient funds to buy a ticket while I have enough spendable DCR in my wallet. Any idea what I might be doing wrong/is going on?

I would think if it says spendable, then you should be able to buy tickets. Try closing and restarting your wallet as it sometimes needs this to refresh. Also it takes 256 blocks (~1 day) for your stake reward to be returned and spendable.

Thanks, I guess although it says my DCR are spendable it needs more blocks to pass before I can buy tickets again. It now says need expiry beyond next height....

I am facing similar problems regarding stake mining / ticket purchase:

It worked quite fine for me during the last few weeks but recently two strange things keep happening:

1. I have the funds (108 DCR) to buy 3x tickets @ 33,12 DCR (it shows as "spendable" in my account). But when I try to buy 3 tickets I get an error "insufficent funds". Even for two tickets I seem to not have enough. I can only buy one. Why is that?!

2. Often I buy a ticket and and a few hours later the DCR I "spend" to buy the ticket are back in my account and I don't have a mining ticket. Huh

Thanks for any help.


1. After a ticket is voted and you get your Decred back + the POS reward, the coins are blocked by 256 blocks (~ 20 hours). There is a bug that will be fixed in the next release that shows these coins as spendable before they are.

2. Unfortunately the fee you offered wasn't enough to win the "ticket auction". Your offer was accepted, your coins went to mempool, waiting for your offer be bigger to take the tickets, which didn't happen. By that they returned.
In the "Expiry blocks" field you enter by how many blocks you want your bid to compete. Comes with 16. I recommend that you put the total number of blocks for the round to end. Your chances are higher with a lower fee.
To know how many blocks to finish the round just look at "Blocks until retarget"
Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.

What ticket fee did you specify? You want to stake with a fee close to the average

I always look at the minimum fee and set mine a little higher than that.
