v0.1.3 was recently marked stable and it is recommended you upgrade to this version. Each version has seen a bunch of improvements and issues fixed, so it's a good idea to upgrade. Currently, the focus is on dcrd, and a ton of work is going into syncing it to the upstream project, which means it'll pull in an incredible amount of fixes and improvements as well. If you've experienced issues with wallet, restore from seed when you upgrade, and remember to keep a backup.

The DCR wallet updates happens almost every week,are all those updates mandotary?

I'm sure you will be answered faster on the support area of the official forum

Dose DCR have multi Seed address. If not, I hope the Dev team can implement them to DCR. this will make DCR much more secured when it comes to POS mining.

i think it will take some time to rise.

You can consult dcrdocs on proof-of-stake (PoS) mining for instructions. It has up-to-date information on current best practices. Also be sure to check out the FAQ section as it's got quite a bit of information on PoS too.

I can no longer create accounts in DCR wallet
Error: cannot create account: previous account has no transaction history


Anyone know how to fix this?



Thanks



Edit: Found it, modified it, compiled it, can create new accounts for our customers

To all. POW is on its way out. ETH will implement their own version of POS CASPER.  DCR has a new code written from scratch. Their POS system is new tech and they are working hard to make it better.  DCR will be one of the top 3 cryptos. BTC, ETH, and DCR will be the top 3 cryptos with a combined market cap of 100 billion USD plus.

Is there a guide to staking, solo & pool?

Also, can poloniex import coins straight from an airdrop address, like the first exchange could?

Lol... you mean implode - right?

It's funny how people still really believe in DCR

Decred is one of my Top5 cryptos. IMO its just a matter of time till it explodes, especially with poloniex on board now.

Monitoring poloniex price from now on...

Gosh!!  
Missed this one.
Shit,price reached 0.050 after listing. I was sleeping.

Wake up:

https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_dcr

When decred will be added in poloniex price will set a new floor: 0.08 minimum.
Just wait for poloniex add.

Pretty much every coin that is added to Polo gets an initial pump and then subsequent dump.  Only after awhile can you tell its more realistic price.

Ohhh is DCR dumping again?...  I said it's just a temporary high... even the people at poloniex recognized that DCR is shit and already dead

Thank you for all the great answers!

I have a question... if I purchased tickets using an Amazon instance, and they are locked there... and I no longer want to do it on that instance but locally, what would be the best way to do this with the lowest chance of missing tickets?

I'm thinking: 1) recreate wallet from seed locally; 2) delete instance; 3) run decred with stake mining enabled ?

or what order should this be done ?

I hope I made myself clear enough, I want to move mining to another computer while the tickets are already bought there with the lowest chance of missing them while doing the transition

Let me offer you rephrase of your question to: What did Decred actually do/is doing atm that other coins are trying to do ?
1. First true approach to decentralized governance by voting with tickets directly on chain (I believe this is huge improvement over Bitcoin's approach - it might not be apparent right now, but this might mark the real advancement of block chain tech).
2. Experienced team of dev's (c0) are working their asses off on improvements of base code - some mentioned by _ingsoc&others in the thread + for more - scan through Decred github commits to see the scope and abilities of c0 devs.
3. Great community that want to participate - look for their participation on Decred official forum (forum.decred.org) or on RFPs (0-6) and their results (most are coming to mainnet pretty soon).
4. Decred actually does not need that ICO/IPO approach like: "give me money first and then I will maybe develop something that's not broken in couple of months" to actually accomplish something -> development subsidy (10% of each block reward) is going to sustain the development long term - either by members of community or original devs.  At the moment there is around 76993DCR/or 117k USD (at today's prices) available to pay for the advancement & development of Decred.
I am not trying to do exhaustive list here, just wanted to point certain things Decred does differently that others are trying to do.   

As for DAO approach - imho, Decred approach might be better if not for anything then for one simple thing - Decred devs do not ask you to pour 100mil USD first for the privilege to buy into something that might / or might not give you something that might / or might not actually work couple of months/years(?) later... but let's wait and see - I just honestly do not like this 21st century approach of: give me hard earned money first, then I might be able to build something that might work - imho, it is wrong approach to do R&D in new tech space.

Agreed, at the moment it seems so.

imho, Darkcoin ended the same as bitcoin is now - pretty centralized block chain without any governance model, that is happily building centralized services on top of that instead of embracing Satoshi's original plan. With this approach, one might never be able to R&D and build any decentralized on chain governance (that said - my full respect to few brave groups working tirelessly on decentralized solutions on top of the bitcoin).

I don't think it's appropriate to try to shoehorn decred or any other coin into the latest fad.

It's good enough that a coin addresses some fundamental problems like scaling and governance.
