That sounds reasonable for a 270.

Now try underclocking your gpumem by 200 mhz or more...  I bet you get almost identical hash with less heat / power draw.

It is nice to hear that this project is not to be rushed forward for a quick reward. I have high expectations for all involved.

Great. Do it right, don't rush, better to do everything efficiently, even with the delay. New year and Christmas, it's distracting, but nothing bad. In the hope that the coin will move BTC ))

Thank you for the update! Its nice to hear that a lot of skilled people are joining, it will help to push the project even further if great minds work together.  So 18th is the last day for joining ? Or should all be done by then as its the airdrop date (unless it gets extended if too many join)

Just to let everyone know, airdrop invitation e-mails will start going out January 8th, 2016. They'll continue being sent out over the weekend and early next week. Airdrop applications will continue being accepted until January 18th, 2016, and invitation e-mails will continue until prior to mainnet launch. The project has been swamped with interest and every application gets individual attention, so there will be more information about mainnet launch as well. The current anticipation is a delay of one week, which is unfortunate, but it's important to give all the applications proper attention and not leave people behind.

There are some really talented people who have signed up to join the Decred network and community. It's humbling to think there are so many high calibre individuals who want to explore technology together to build on what Decred is putting forward. You're thanked from the bottom of the hearts of those who have built it up to this point, and it's going to be an honour to work together and see where the wind in our sails takes us.

signed up for airdrop very interesting im in

Looks like an interesting project. Signed up for the airdrop.

Now i testing.... whit my R9 270 i have near 0,87GH/s ... in same moment i go at near 1 GH/s.. i can confirm this value... but this is good for mining DECRED?

I ran sp-mod 78 on above pool & i got results.

gtx970: 1.42-1.45 GH/s @ 150-160 W

gtx750ti: 522 MH/s @ 50 W

Consider these to be conservative estimates as ambient temps here are in high 20C to low 30C. It seems results are very competitive for both AMD & nvidia. If anyone can post power draw for AMD cards it will become more clear.

Thanks ... Today i test it and post here results :-) Thanks

Hi,

yes miner is available, its cgminer 3.7.2 for saffroncoin (blake256-14rounds). Link for test pool and blake cgminer is here: http://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools

estimated hashrate is:

R9 270 0,86GH/s
R9 290 1,70GH/s

test it and post here...

Hello, for AMD GPU r7 290 we have a miner for black256 14 round? How i can test it whit Decred? Thanks

For the benefit of visual learners, it would be nice to have all this info put into a graph or two.

Does total emission depend on how many coins are being staked, or is there a fixed amount of PoS reward divided pro rata?

Thank you, I wish you success! Do your best!




lol

So we're looking at 15% decrease in inflation per year.

And 50% every 4 years. So I guess its modeled to be similar to Bitcoin.

This means that eventually block subsidy will approach zero. There will still be security from PoS but they'll still rely on transaction fees.

It's interesting that unlike a regular PoS coin, the interest isn't indefinite.

i use linux ...

have mainly the gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards in thefram ... but also have build a monster of a system for a mate of mine who wants to get into mining ... so i can test with that machine also ...

so ill try with various settings as spmod has xintensity settings also ...

tanx for your help ... later this afternoon ill give it a go ...

The expectations is that there will be at least one exchange up within the first 4 weeks after launch. It may happen sooner, but it cannot be made a priority without it affecting the mainnet launch date. There is a lot of work that needs to get completed before mainnet launch on January 18th. Launch may be delayed by up to a week in order to get a final few important items completed, and this is without even thinking about the exchange issue.


Good point. The project forgot to put up a privacy policy for the airdrop. This was a bad oversight, however the information will not be used for any purpose outside the Decred airdrop. Your signup information will never be shared with anyone else and will only ever be used for the purpose of including people in the airdrop.


The Decred Constitution is a document that will describe the governance system, the process for doing paid work for Decred via the dev org, and the guiding principles of the project. It was drafted with input from a wide number of sources, including the developers, and this draft document will be made public in the near future. It is not an exhaustive and long document, but is intentionally compressed in form to be clear in wording about the process, and for it to be accessible to all users. It will be put up on GitHub for community input and proposed changes for further development.


Sidechains are an interesting addition to Bitcoin for testing new features, but there are a number of reasons that contributed to Decred not being developed as a sidechain.

• There is no financial incentive to develop a sidechain for developers unless they are paid by a 3rd party to create it. Since sidechains are designed to preserve the value of bitcoins transferred to them, it is not possible for developers to create a sidechain and derive a financial benefit directly, i.e., you put in work to make a great sidechain and you cannot benefit from that directly by increasing the number of bitcoins you have. If your sidechain positively affects the price of Bitcoin, you can indirectly benefit from the sidechain.
• The project believes there are fundamental problems with Bitcoin that will never get fixed with the current governance structure and social contract. In order to fix these problems, the project has substantially altered the incentive structures in Decred. Mapping these changes onto a sidechain would be complex work, make it so that developers cannot benefit from creating a successful project, and bind them to what the project considers an effectively broken governance model.
• Even in the event that the project made a popular sidechain for Bitcoin and many people switched to it, developers would stand to gain nothing to continue development in real terms. Bitcoin has shown that a donation-type model is not sustainable and a difficult burden to place on users, which has prompted reliance on outside funding that does not necessarily come from users directly involved in the process. So even in this extremely unlikely case where a project suddenly becomes popular, the development work is still unfunded or underfunded, which jeopardizes the future of the project.

The project certainly understands the motivations behind Bitcoin sidechains, however, the view is that they are not suitable for use when developing another cryptocurrency with Decred's goals.

will be available a mining pool in start day 18th?

you can try change the "intensity" value between 8-31, 31 is maximum
