Also exact starting reward is 31.13408239.

Generally premined coins are part of block subsidy for genesis block, so when that block will be mined by devs to start the chain, they will have 8% of 21 million coins. Later on they will send it to airdrop participants & keep 420,000 coins as a compensation for last 3 year of work they did. That is how it generally works.

Am I correct in figuring that the airdrop to a max 5,000 folks equates to $82.32 USD each?

That's correct, assuming 5k people sign up for airdrop and it fetches USD 0.49 per coin. The exact numbers will be made public once the airdrop process is complete. The cap is set that high on purpose, so it can be as inclusive as possible - given that this project isn't built on hype. If it fetches less than than in USD, the devs lose because that's what they'll be buying at/exchanging for - that's set in stone now. The risk of the project is carried by the devs. If it fails, they lose the years spent working on it and the money they put in.

Quote from: Gyrsur on December 26, 2015, 05:38:12 PM

don't know how they will set a price of $0.49 on a free market. but yes this are my figures too.

Nobody can determine what the price will be. That's how much it cost to develop and what's given to the community, so it's based on that:

USD 165,000 in unpaid work and individual purchases by developers to fund the project
USD 250,000 cost of developing the project, in terms of developer pay, which c0 paid to developers
USD 415,000 airdrop made available to the community to "balance" the aforementioned costs (165,000+250,000)

Therefore, ((165,000+250,000+415,000)÷(21,000,000×0.08)) = USD 0.494047619 per coin. Anything less than that on a free market and the devs lose. Airdrop participants win at > USD 0, albeit in smaller quantities since 840,000 coins are divided between the community - but bear in mind this isn't a hype project, so there's no telling what the final number of participants will be. You can at least work it out based on the hard cap put on the number of participants.

Totally correct, thanks for doing the nice calculation.

Close. The airdrop to a max 5,000 folks equates to 168 coins, not USD.

It depends on how this coin will fare and evolve, before a single coin would be equating a rough $0,49 in USD value (or several thousands satoshi).

Any plans to merge mine with BLC and the other coins in the Blake ecosystem?

Is this 8 round blake?

Just so you know, this isn't being ignored. Passed on the questions and just waiting for the devs to come back with some information on this issue (future plans, and so on).

my magic is growing strong[er]

My mom taught me even as a youngster in my early childhood years something she learned from her mom and applied it to her own life:

"its not whether you win or loose that matters most, but how you play the game".

I have a feeling Decred is all about how everyone is going to play the game together.

I feel so lucky I came across this thread, it gave my heart a jump for joy. Cheesy

Finally a serious hybrid altcoin project without an ICO/crowdfunding scam attached.
I looked into the website and wiki, but didn't find the detailed emission specifications. Is that information available yet?

Looking forward to the launch!

it's premined. guess they mine for themselve since some months.

It's 8% premined, half of which (4%) are going towards the developers, and the other half (4%) towards the public airdrop.
I second the interest on detailed emission information, PoW and PoS rewards, etc.

You can get some of the info here.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13278747

For details you can read the white paper/dered brief (https://decred.org/dtb001.pdf).

Also exact starting reward is 31.13408239.

You can read this paper to know details of how mining/staking will work: http://mc2.xwebnetwork.com/storage/mc2_0.05.pdf

so - reading over the OP

This is an altered version [fork] of DASH?

Interesting - how did you come to this conclusion? Decred doesn't have any connection to Dash. Dash is based on C/C++ codebase, whereas Decred is based on a Go (golang) codebase. One thing Decred would like to avoid is what happened during Dash's launch. It needs to be taken as a lesson to try and learn from. Another good reason to get many people involved in airdrop.
