EDIT: i know many investors that are waiting a GUI wallet to dump airdrop since they are not tech with command line.
So, when GUI wallet comes out, excpetc a huge dump, not a rise.

You could help out those many investors that you know by showing them how easy it is to use the Web Wallet.
Importantly, no command line knowledge is required. The notable trade-off with using a web wallet is arguably less security, but in effect, this web wallet doesn't really hold or store your private keys at any time, and since all they want is to dump their airdrop, it's perfectly adequate...  Roll Eyes

sorry if the question is too silly but, what would be the equivalent to wallet.dat in decred? any file that I can backup in order to deploy wallet in some other PC? thank you!

If you saved your 33 word seed, you can import your seed to any wallet on any computer. I'm not sure if the wallet.db file does the same thing.

It was only the wind.
The 3 top world currencies will be BTC, ETH, and DCR they will equal 100 Billion dollars in market cap


when? Smiley
Yup, that's what i was also thinking while watching the price falling.
I brought some coins at a high price...... 0.005BTC per decred. But now all i can do is cry and see the price falling and falling.
Comeon pumpers, where are you now?

If you had taken the effort to learn how to solo stake, you would have mitigated your loses by now, or at least broke even. Of course, this is your very first post, so it's clear you just made this account to post some FUD.
I'm just waiting for my tickets to come in to relieve myself of this bag. It may take a while. Good luck to everyone else. Hope all your dreams come true with this coin.



Asking for pump groups, too - which will only hurt or kill the coin long term. Fuck that guy.
So what do you suggest me for getting back what I have lost in decred.
I heard people talking good things about decred here and there, so i brought decred from all the bitcoins I was having and now i don't have any left with me for buying more decred at this low price.
So can you tell me how can i get back to what I was having initially?


Is there a wallet for DCR available comparable to a usual Bitcoin Core wallet with GUI?

Not yet but supposedly soon. Its still in testing.

Many people are waiting for this. I hope price will pick up when it is released.
and yes, GUI wallets are available, you can search for this on the decred forum and get the wallet from there. But the decred developers haven't made the wallet, so there can be a few bugs in it.

Thanks

What I suggest is if you don't support a project for real, don't buy in just to try and dump it for some small profit. You invest in a coin because you believe in it - if you did, you'd just wait. There's s a reason people say not to invest what you can't afford to lose - you may not lose it, but what if DCR is 4x what you bought it for in 6 months?

We are talking, but it's funny how "crypto expert" trolling about a GUi wallet that will skyrocket price.
So, the best innovation of 2016 on cryptoworl is a GUI wallett for a coin? lol

No, that is false, because there is a simple, intuitive web wallet already available now. It's easy to sell your airdrop. Therefore, there will be no "dump".
An "investor" can use the web wallet and buy DCR on Bittrex. What's preventing them?
You are clearly interested only in short-term price increase which shows you're looking to make a quick buck.

Nobody is suggesting the GUI wallet is an innovation of Decred. That is your own delusional projection.
The innovation in Decred is in governance, self-funding, the hybrid PoS/PoW system and other tech related improvements.

This was the big mistake on decred. Launch without a gui wallett.
Everyone who is waiting for a GUI wallet for a price rise is completly wrong.
A gui wallet shoud be launched at beginning.

They spent 3 years on development,it will not make any difference to wait 3 years and 6 months to launch but with a GUI wallet ready.

Am i wrong?

What do you think that investors are waiting a GUI wallet? lol.


Because Decred is not copy/paste of Bitcoin code like so many other coins, so it's completely understandable it had no GUI wallet at start.
And there is absolutely no problem with that. Paymetheus is in test now and will come to mainnet soon. A web wallet is already available.
Personally, I am not expecting a price surge from the release of GUI wallets. Instead, it may facilitate adoption which could mean introduction to more trading platforms
The price surge is likely to come from addition to Poloniex and other trade platforms (which is perhaps tied to an intuitive GUI wallet release).

GUI wallet may not be enough on its own to get things going but it is still a must and it will help.

At the very least it will make things more convenient for current users who want to stake.

Unfortunately that dual miner is doing a lot of damage I fear. So many people who dont want dcr are mining it and dumping it while mining what they really want which is eth

That makes it unprofitable to mine for people who actually wanted to keep it but can't use the dual miner.

Just a few things to remember. The term "dump" is deceiving. Whenever someone "dumps" DCR, there is someone BUYING them, accumulating them.
So there is no damage there. The price is currently very stable, actually it seems to be slowly rising.
We're at an early phase of this crypto- ... let's be patient and see where it goes.
If you believe in this coin, then keep the coins you mine.
If you don't believe in it, then just mine whatever coin is the most profitable at the moment and "dump" it, no?
What's the problem? - Also, I wouldn't keep those ETH if I were you... ETH = lots of vapor and hype IMO.

Once the DCR graphical wallet is out with POS voting, the price of DCR will skyrocket

Highly unlikely. Anyone who is interested in it is already buying in or already has. I do not see any new blood coming in especially now that BTC itself is on the move and as a result alts will suffer as always and DCR is no exception.

He can be right if GUI wallet with all annouced features will be released @POLO should list DCR at once and this would skyrocket for sure.

BTW we had reversal on Bittrex, so in midtime we're on uptrend.

We think skyrocket is to much. We think after GUI launch the price slowly doubles to 3 - 4 usd a 1 decred. Thats a normal reaction because a lot of people are going to pos stake and needs some additional coins (ticket price also doubles).

And with a windows GUI wallet Decred become available for the normal people. Now is decred a coin only for the "computer nerds" Grin

I could see that major exchanges like Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitpay, CEX, Kraken, others will include DCR and ETH in new fiat markets.  This move will make DCR and ETH just a liquid as BTC. USD/DCR, CNY/DCR, and EUR/DCR markets and USD/ETH, CNY/ETH, and EUR/ETH markets.  I believe the total market cap of BTC+DCR+ETH=$100 BILLION USD plus is just a few years away. $5,800 USD/BTC, $150 USD/ETH, and $340 USD/DCR

Anyone have an ELI5 for the first post?

Decred is an early-stage project that is attempting to build a principled platform for blockchain and project governance. Blockchain governance is a complex topic, but in simple terms, Decred will give its users representation in the determination of where the blockchain goes by voting on blocks to achieve social consensus about its future. It is early-stage because right now the software is mostly accessible to users comfortable with a command-line interface, users are still getting to know the concepts, developers are still improving the software on a daily basis, and the necessary infrastructure is still being put in place so voting is accessible to all users.

Project governance, however, is a concept that has been explored more thoroughly. Decred is backed by a group of developers responsible for btcsuite - a suite of packages and tools for working with Bitcoin in Go (Golang) including btcd, a full node, mining-capable, Bitcoin implementation. Decred is also self-funding, which means users and miners can have confidence in the notion that development is active and will remain active. In short, developers maintain and improve Decred, but ultimately it will be up to the collective that has formed in Decred to use its features to decide where it goes - even things like smart contracts are quite easily done in Decred, but right now it's about focusing on the fundamentals so that everyone with interest may have accessible representation and a say in Decred.

Thank you.

Smart contracts on decred? That's an amazing news!

Well look at Counterparty, it does smart contracts on the Bitcoin blockchain, so naturally it can be done on Decred, too.

Is Decred online wallet secure? Any feedback?

Let me quote from the FAQ section in dcrdocs, which is currently being completed as part of RFP-4:

Quote
The web client is a fork of Copay, so it is as secure as that. The seed (and hence private keys) are kept and computed locally in your browser's local storage and everything is run client-side. The server never has access to any of the private data needed to spend coins.

That means it's not an account service, so it basically uses your browser to act as a GUI.

Ok. Another question is if Decred guarantee 100% anonymity with its Schnorr signatures?

Nobody can answer???

lower memorz clock to min, Decred is not taxing memorz, hence the dual miner from Claymore - memory intensive algo + one that is using cache-only

At this price and that diff. it isn't even capable of covering the energy bill.

I got 5 GH/s at 1.000 Watt.


What do you mine with? 200W per Gh sounds like too much. What card and hashrate? Maybe you can play around with intensity and settings and get only slightly lower hash rate at significantly lower power consumption.

But at that price of electricity there is probably no way you make a real profit. And I thought my 0.15/KW euro was expensive
