please note win32 cgminer not the win64   

My pool is up and running: http://decred.multicoin.co/index.php?page=dashboard

Tested it on simnet and testnet so far with everything working great, will be ready for mainnet before launch. GetWork only but stratum is almost completed, awaiting a working cgminer-stratum to test it.

thanks dev for all your great work!

my testnet wallet is full operating and i have already made 5 valid vote and a couple transaction.

I'm a decred forum user so also thanks for the testnet decred coins!

the software run very well with no bug,

congrats!

I think he don't have to wait a week. Many exchanges are already interested in Decred

wow, thank you so much ocminer, more than ready for this special coin, waiting for history to born

in one week it will be possible to buy decred on the exchanges. i am quite sure there will be cheap decred during the first days, dumped by some newbies: that will be a huge, and unique, opportunity

Wow, I was reading up on btcd today and now I heard about Decred. Very interesting project!

(I was getting very frustrated having only one implementation for Bitcoin from Core / Blockstream so I was researching alternative implementations, was even thinking of rolling up my sleeves and writing an alternative implementation for Bitcoin in another language, perhaps in some more "academic" language oriented towards algebraic specification and theorem-proving such as Maude for modularity or ATS for performance. I had heard that the code for btcd was much better-organized, so that's why I was looking at btc, as a way to try to get a good example of modular code for a Bitcoin fullnode.)

And somehow while researching btcd I stumbled across Decred, which apparently has some of the same devs as btcd.

Decred sounds great! I expect that given the experience of the Decred devs with the btcd implementation, Decred could become an important cryptocurrency. I especially like the idea of "baking in" the governance into to the blockchain itself - as we are seeing that Bitcoin's governance-by-reddit-posts-and-github-ACKs is proving to be, shall we say, somewhat "dysfunctional."

I hear there was an airdrop which ended Jan 18, so I'm bummed out, did I really miss the airdrop??

I heard that up to 5,000 verified people could receive the airdrop, so far about 3,244 got verified... so please let me know if there's room for any more people to participate in the airdop, I'd love to be involved in this exciting project!

The programming languages I tend to use are functional (ML, Haskell, etc. - more in the area of theoretical computer science, algebraic specification languages, theorem proving, dependent types, etc.) although of course I can also read C++, golang, etc.

I'm located outside the US, but I studied previously in the US.

Hoping to find out any way I could get involved with Decred, and if there is any chance of the airdrop still adding some additional verified people!

wallet online , and its sync 

it's cool that pools and exchanges are already interested before the launch

hehe, yup

I'm currently fiddling around with stratum, you can hash already (with getwork) and your hashrate will also be displayed (hopefully correctly) but nothing else works yet - I need to test the stuff before I push it onto the frontend, but everything will be ready on launch.

In case someone wants to play with the hashing too, here is the module: (ideal for p2pool etc.)

As my friend George would say, what else?

Could you share the URL on the pool if it's up? I'd like to do some testing.

Only with getwork - which makes no sense IMHO, I'm trying to get stratum support added in cgminer and pool .. If everything fails I might launch it with getwork - still some time left, we'll see.

Is your pool up for testing on the testnet?

Yes, here:

https://github.com/ocminer/decred-hash

You'll need to setup a getwork proxy though, preferably pushpool or something as stratum support is currently disabled in cgminer. Feel fee to contact me if you need help, its quite simple.

Took me a while to get up and running,  brushed of the cobwebs and have learnt a lot from the community, onwards and upwards.
