Can somebody please explain to me (as a noob user) what are the benefits (why would i use it) of DCR when comparing to ETH, vanillacoin, litecoin, *insert popular altcoin* ?
Thanks
Thanks
This coin is trying to test/experiment with new framework for how coin's development takes place. They want to give coin holders a chance to have a say in every decision. PoS for this coin is geared to wards allowing vote on all issue in future. Also its underlying tech is more secure. This coin provides funding to devs by giving 10% of each block reward to them, so that devs dont have to seek funding from private VC with an agenda. I hope other will list more features.

Regardless of their meaningless argument that this coin will fall back to 0.0015 btc it continues to grow bigger and stronger.
There will be up and down movement but that has nothing to do with whether decred will be successful or not. It all depends on tech, real world use cases & community. Price is just a reflection of that & of whale's mood.

Great, but now the main thing for mainstream Decred use is: Gui wallet and selling/paying/recieving payments. This is the biggest part in what a coin needs to have. I am a rather simple user, seeking for a coin where you can Pay for a product FAST and SAFE. As you can see this is where BTC kind of failed (long transaction times or risk double spending etc.)
also buy some vanilla coin. It has zero time transactions (no other has this feature) without bugs or risk of double spend. Soon will have a decentralized anon system much better and faster than dash. Some day you'll thank me for the tip
I can confirm that. They shutted down bct thread and moved to official forum, what I suggest for Decred as well. It'll solve the problems with the same questions all the time.
Users from DCR forum helped me to get and transfer coins from airdrop.

Of my old GPU farm I have one 7950 left, and it likes to commit seppuku when mining DCR, so I'll have to work with what I received from the airdrop. Think the main chip in it is getting ready for retirement.
Seppuku? Explain.
I'm in the process of getting a couple 7950's up and running again, just waiting on risers.
Hopefully, I'm not wasting my time.
Seppuku https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku
I was only joking about that. The whole computer freezes. It has nothing to do with it being a 7950, it's just a very old card that has done several life cycles of work for me already. This same card was mining litecoin and bitcoin back in 2013
I highly doubt you'll have any issues with yours, assuming they are in good shape.
Haha I know what seppuku is.
You just hit a nerve when you mentioned 7950.

What now? Any news? If the price will rise, why would it? You cant really use Decred to pay etc. yet.
Well in 3 days not much can happen. Bugfixes are actively ongoing on github as far as i can see. And the price is rising probably because there are not much coins available, and there is a demand for it and those who wanted to dump the airdrop at this price dumped already
Would be interesting to know how many airdrops have been claimed to this date and how many of those coins have been already sold. I am rather certain that most of the airdrop is still hanging because 800k coins at this price would need some serious whales to buy all that up and maintain the price.
And as told, the coin just launched, cant expect much yet.
It would be nice but to get how many are sold is hard to guess coz the fact that it was moved to another address does not means that it was sold already.
yes, but the info you get would be, how many airdrops remained untouched until now.
Yup would be some nice info but i have a feeling it is something that will not be revealed, at least not yet. It would make trading a bit easier and would give a bit more confidence into the buys because right now there is no telling how much further down the price could be hammered. It has stayed a lot higher than i thought anyway, i was thinking it might get dropped to around 100k but it keeps on holding strong!
go here https://mainnet.decred.org/block/000000000000437482b6d47f82f374cde539440ddb108b0a76886f0d87d126b9
check out all address that have a green (U) in front of them with amount 282.63795424 DCR are airdrop coins that have not been moved since they were received. That will give you some idea of coins that were never on the market. Although rest is unclear.
EDIT: 2163 addresses have not moved their airdrop coins

I don't understand the logic with attempting to appeal to mainstream users immediately after the launch of an experimental cryptocurrency project.
What i dont understand your logic thing, i want to buy bread & access my airdrop. Can i buy drugs with this? Are you a sissy talking like this in here. This is bitcointalk. You are just a whiner who didn't get the airdrop & want low prices.

Payment was not brodcast .. error querying the blockchain < 10 decreds for someone who gets me out of this problem>
I've sent 2 dcrs 3 minutes ago, without any problem. Try to delete the transaction, try some smaller amount, try to reload the walletI did that , multiple times , still same issue. Are you using wallet.decred.org?

Do you already changed dbits unit to DCR unit?
EDIT: I dont know the word in English for this, but try 282 coins instead of 282.632

Excuse my ignorance here, but I've been away for several days and don't have the time right now to dig through the thread for information. How can I claim my airdrop coins? And how much did we each end up getting? I'm assuming the 5,000 limit of signups was reached here...
It wasn't reached, final participants number is 2970 and all of us got 282 coins. To claim them go to wallet.decred.org create a new wallet and specify your seed that you've generated when you confirmed your share.
Awesome, thanks for the response on this. Can't complain about getting more
