Hi guys,

I have few questions that I have a hard time to find answers to.

1. what is the current PoS interest % like?

2. what is the minimum-age before staking start?

3. in your experiences, is it better to stake your DCR coins directly in your wallet (like the usual PoS altcoins) or to use a staking pool?

I would say that I'm totally lost when I hear terms like "tickets" associated with PoS. I know that Decred PoS system is different than others alts, but I just want to move my coins out of exchanges and stake them. I find the informations about staking a bit complicated for non-nerds.

thanks if you can enlighten me.

omg WHY does DCR always have to be so hard to just USE? Sad

is there not just somehwere i can just simply mine DCR and throw it into a stake pool quickly and easily? (automatically from mining would be dank but i wont push it)

i have scoured i swear for my solution b4 getting frustrated i  promise !  BAH!

i DONT want to dl the whole wallet/chain for a PUBKEY, why cant i use exchange address if needed like a normal coin? Sad    blarg...

you can mine and send directly to exchange if you want... not a good idea tho.
you just cant stake it directly at exchange and other coins cant stake there too(at least not for you  Roll Eyes)..

what's your point?..

Sorry for interrupting your holy war, but is there a list of public nodes of PoW-pools?
I want to check if they are directly connected to the voting wallets.

"Investors" should be happy to see the fundamentals holding strong and that development pace is doing very well.
The official forum is also quite active and the community keeps growing at a slow & steady rate there.
Daytraders and PnD'ers are probably better off looking elsewhere.  Roll Eyes

If you check active nodes: https://decred.monkeyland.io/online.shtml
There are only 100-115 active peers across the planet.


My two nodes are not listed too

Let's be honest, the official forum is totally dead. [...]

By all means, I'll agree to disagree. I do respect other people's opinions, and as an investor/holder myself, I will only add that the marketcap-to-price ratio remains overall favorable to someone that is actively staking, given a reasonable average ticket price.

On the node count: I don't know how precise those figures are, as for example my home node is always up and is never listed in either monkeyland or dcrstats. I imagine that the command line does scare away a lot of people from running their own nodes, but I haven't looked closely enough at how other relevant altcoins are doing in that respect.

Let's be honest, the official forum is totally dead. There are only 1-2 new messages per day. I agree there was a rush after airdrop, because most of the users wanted to sell their coins.

So the truth is that only a hundred geeks use this coin in their terminals, and nobody cares.

Look at market cap, it is increasing, while the dcr price is falling. In February 2017 I will be not surprised to see the price 0.0012 btc ($0.5-$0.7)

The only hard thing is staking because its different. but then again its more profitable too.

For all regular use you can have online wallet and even exchange address.


Decred's pow/pos combination is awesome :

When next update with DB optimization?

Only the new Database in next release, which would speed up the synchronization time.
A good feature for existing users, but nothing interesting to attract new investors.

They better hope those suppression walls aren't still up when I cash out of my other positions.  Wink That low hanging fruit is mine.

Are we expecting any news soon?
