Topic: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network - page 316. (Read 1201380 times)

when?

The 3 top world currencies will be BTC, ETH, and DCR they will equal 100 Billion dollars in market cap

It seems "TheCreed" stole the name from Decred (and some other things as well). Please don't put the two in the same category, they are not related in any way.

One thing I wanted to add is that the added value of Decred will come even more in the future because of the RFP model.

Decreed and Thecreed are boths doing well.

A currency is a currency. It doesn't need to be something other than a currency.
The only question is, if a crypto-currency offers any significant improvements over the Bitcoin crypto-currency in two fields:
1) tech;
2) governance.
Does Decred offer improvements in both fields: this is a matter of opinion of course, but my opinion is that yes, it does.
We can discuss those two points if you want. But a currency doesn't need to have a "target audience".
Only "scam/shit-coins" do that... "A coin for Trump supporters" - "A coin for My Little Pony enthusiasts" etc.
Or maybe I don't get what you mean exactly by "target audience"?

The target audience is anybody who wants to transfer money from A to B without wanting (to rely on) third-party interference.
That is potentially everyone, if they understand the advantage of this and are able to use the technology in day to day life.

Decred doesn't compete with Counterparty (or Ethereum, Lisk etc.) and related blockchain technolgies so it would be like comparing apples and oranges.

Decred doesn't try to invent something new but improve on the original Bitcoin decentralized crypto-currency idea. Or rather return to the original idea more authentically since we went through the Bitcoin experience and now we're in a better position to have ideas about what are the good and the bad parts about the way BTC is run.

At least that's how I see it, and why I believe in the project.

Everything same as BTC, but with the addition of this:

So far, the "value" of these things is.... ~$1.60/dcr.

YES hopethe price increases , it seems too low atm.

Hello everybody, I've read the introduction and unfortunately I don't have time to read the entire thread right now. My question is following is there any information anywhere on what would be the business case for Decred. I see a lot of info on technical stuff but I'm curious about the business side. Who is the project targeted for, who are the end users, what are the typical use cases so to say and what is unique about Decred to make it really stand out from other blockchains and currrencies that seem to pop up right now like mushrooms after the rain ? I don't know about others but I just don't mine anything without fundamental understanding of everything behind the currency. The information given in the introduction is clearly not enough. This on the other hand was very informative for me

Being in charge of foreign markets business development for the third largest money transfer company in the world i really understand what Morgan Stanley analysts  are coming from predicting the future of blockchains. Whether we like it or not the future is for permissioned blockchains as a mainstream financial/settelement related instrument and some public blockchains with what I see to be quite limited uses just because nothing in the world could really go mainstream totally bypassing legislation/compliance/kyc and therefore governments. I want to be wrong on this, I really do. But please tell me more about Decred. I'm sure combining PoW with PoS isn't enough to make it succeed. Lots of respect for ehtical approach to development and self funding so to say, but that again isn't enough.

Why setting another POS pools is so difficult?

No, I'm here because it's my hobby and mining(hardware) is fun for me.
I'm just not as stupid to think that it will ever pay off.

I have never bought and I will never buy DCR due to the fact that the price is dropping since weeks.

Seems like my counter measures are working finally, pool is stable for the last 24h now, thanks for your patience.

derp.  Shoulda known I could find it there...

Yeah there is https://dcrstats.com/

Is there a place to see decred mining difficulty over time? Thanks!

What kind of "basic economy knowledge" are we lacking (supposedly), let's hear a little about it?
My investment in DCR so far has been lucrative. As a matter of fact, my investment has doubled.
 How does your brilliant economic theory account for that, do tell?

Stupid ppl who doesn't have basic economy knowledge and don't realize that DCR is already dead before it started.

Accumulation phase. This is because there are some great news incoming.

Ok, so who buys?
