True, and that is also my concern. Lots of coins that had absolutely great ideas fell victim to a somewhat shut in/ivory tower approach focusing only on tech, without a solid PR plan. Look I am impressed with how Decred is holding up so far, but for any chance at mainstream succes they need to cool it on the techno babble and tell the story in layman's terms.

Well, the code does not appear to a copy and past clone. So, I guess that is innovative in a way. However, I do not see a clear marketing strategy for this coin, ATM. Tinkering with code, and making improvements with code is great, but ATM, the only purpose of this coin seems to be trading on the exchange.

Yeah, centralized control is shit. This is a major issue that needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

I guess, at that point, this coin and any bagholders will be SOL. They could change the code so that future subsidy goes to another address. However, with over 18000 coins and growing sitting in this account, I would think this would be more than a superficial blow to this coin's health. Of course, the dev team could do the right thing and reimburse the new subsidy account with some of the premine. The remedy would probably be too little too late, since a dumpfest would likely occur if this happened, with no chance of market recovery.
Does anyone have more info on how this fund is handled? I would pray that it is sitting in cold storage at the moment. I would also assume that the funds can be recovered with a seed, rather than the key. It would be pretty stupid to lose both the private key and the seed.  

thanks for the info, hummm this coin was innovative indeed LOL

What if this key is lost or hacked and abuse (in future)?

"a development organization"


Any more details anyone?

Maybe a stupid question:

When will the win gui wallet released? The good old wallet interface.

10% of the block reward goes the development fund.  A request for proposal is made to the community. If a person makes a proposal, it is approved, and when that person delivers the work, they get compensated in DCR for their work. It is a fund to encourage other people in the community besides the original dev team to start making improvements to this coin. Here is the link to the address with the disbursement fund. https://mainnet.decred.org/address/Dcur2mcGjmENx4DhNqDctW5wJCVyT3Qeqkx
At this moment nothing has been spent from this fund.
I am not certain who controls the private key for this address. I suppose that it could be subject to abuse.
Edit: I guess Decred Holdings Group LLC ("DHG"), a Nevis LLC controls the private key for the fund. They are an offshore corporation it appears. Not certain who the officers are at the moment, but probably the members of the current dev team.

Not possible, algo is different

Mmmh, I feel that DCR is the new Crave. $$$

would be really interesting if someone could merge mine vanilla and dcr

Hi
I received correctly my airdrop, many thanks to all devs. For now I leave my DCR quiet where they are.
As I truly believe that for mass adoption of any cryptocurrency, people and shops in real life must be able to fully confirm a payment whitin 5-10 seconds, when paying a magazine or a coffe with a card or a phone, is it planned to develop a feature like Zerotime from Vanillacoin into Decred (if Zerotime really works, don't know) ?

Thanks for your work.

Speculators are waiting to dump every coin.

I observe nature, and try to learn from it.

There is too much misunderstanding in between human beings, and along the escalation path it will become even more. Until the end.

How you do that ?

I'm playing with my cat, it's more informative.

Ok, the devs are not driving this page and have no direct influence what is written there, if I understood this right.

Then I will stay as an investor for squeeze out the greeds to help the devs.

Confusing...
Why don't just trying it?
In 1 and a half days my 191.815 DCR became 197.23.
As simple as that.
