Hope Decred wallet v 0.8.0 will be released tonight. I want to try new features and buy some tickets from the new wallet. Its really the long-awaited update in Decred history.

btw, if I want to run the daemon and wallet on two separate machines (different location and ISPs) would that cause a problem?

I will be staking on both too

I have only used similar setup (daemon and wallet on separate machines) trough LAN. But if your wallet is succesfully connected to daemon trough rpc, i don't see any problem there. Maybe you should ask devs in slack about that, to be sure.

I did not phrase this correctly. Sorry about that.

What I meant is I want to run a daemon and a wallet on one machine and on the other machine, another instance of the daemon and that same wallet.

I'll ask on slack too


If you use same seed on two wallets, yes it causes issues. Use different wallet in another one.

I was trying to buy tickets a few hours ago, through the command line as I usually do. For solo mining

But this time, something went wrong with the transactions. It complained that the address does not exist or something.
But it's the same address I always use. I have batch files ready that I have used for months, no chance of a typo.

It seems one ticket transaction went through, but another three didn't and the coins have disappeared from my balance. In fact for all 4 transactions.
I am now almost 145 below what I should be in balance and have 1 ownmempoolticks in getstakeinfo

I restarted daemon and wallet but it didn't help.

What can I do? Is it possible that the coins just vanished?

I'll link this to slack as well to increase my chances of getting an answer

Have you already tried to recreate your wallet from seed?

I figure at this point, either the coins are safe and a reseed will show them (most likely scenario) or they are lost somehow (unlikely though)

Since the new wallet will be released very soon I'll just wait for it and do a reseed and also sync from scratch

I don't believe that you have lost anything. The coins won't leave your wallet, when purchasing tickets. When you recreate wallet, just make sure, that daemon is fully synced before reseed.

Mannnnn I'm stoked about v0.8.0.

It's not often that you get to witness a "first ever" scenario in crypto these days.

Ha! That's true: this will be the first of it's kind in a voting consensus matter. Pretty stoked Grin

now i have pretty faith in this and it can be a good moral lesson for all.

Yup, I guess we are +20k people to know about Decred. I just wonder to know how few we are to know about v0.8.0 and its purpose...

Compression volume/price + v0.8.0 Mouahahaha It's gunna pop-up!

The PoW difficulty chart is starting to look like Ethereum's did before the price boom  Cheesy Cheesy

This is the most amazing project I have seen since long, great community and great dev team.

So at times it can be unprofitable to stake ? If the ticket price is too high? ...still trying to learn all of this.

Ticket fee is per Kb.
A block currently has just over 500 bytes, so the price placed to fee, isn't the amount that will be discounted from your prize.
If you set a 1.5DCR ticket fee, you will actually pay a little over half that, around 0.85DCR.



imo for that purpose and for lazy ones there is always https://evolution.dcrstats.com/en pool that takes care of it automaticly, only settings you need to set are max ticket price you are wiling to pay and max fee. easy

Some things need to be cleared up.
Traditional stake pools don't require trust.
There is no risk of a hacker attack stealing your coins or someone running away with them. Because they are not in the pool, they are still with you in your wallet.
In evolution you need trust.
You actually send your coins there and you can lose them If something bad happens
Evolution isn't an official service offered by Decred's devteam, it's a side project, created by the dcrstats pool owner, who is just a member of the community like all of us.

Interesting, thank you. So how to join a traditional stake pool? Is it all done from cli wallet?

Lots of good stats about Decred here: https://dcrstats.com/ At the bottom of the main page, you will also see a list of stake pools for decred, and some info about each.  Just select one, and follow the instructions from that stake pool.  IMO, they all have pretty good instructions.

Also, while it's true you need to trust the operator of the Evolution service, he is a good standing, active community member and many people use that service because of it's simplicity and effectiveness.  Even if you decide not to use it, I'd encourage you to check it out.  The UI alone gives a good idea of how voting "works".

For pool tickets. For solo tickets its actually about 298 bytes so a 1.5dcr fee costs about 0.5 dcr per ticket.
