This is pretty much the only PoW/PoS combo coin I could get behind. Other PoW/PoS coins (PPC, etc..) never did much for me... they are too boring. This however is new and innovative, and I like that.
I'll be watching... congrats on getting the idea this far! It is neat to see something like this go from a concept in an altcoin discussion thread to an actual implementation of said concept.

Appreciate this, CoinHoarder. Remember you from the days when MC2 was still a spring chicken. You're always welcome and your views are important to people here. Make sure you're signed up for airdrop - want to do this right and pull those up who care enough to contribute.
pow/pos is the way to go. Building a gd community and have a reddit page. Dunno if mentioned but there should be a logo.
ive got a gd few contacts that helped a previous alt with mining profit calculators and a few other features which could come useful later.
I sense gd vibes from this...

As soon as things go live, it'll be super important to build those services up to support miners. As for logo, there is one and anyone is free to modify it. It's just not present yet because this is a new account and it needs activity before it can display anything.
Is the coin live yet or still in pre-ann ?
It's still in "pre-ann". The tentative date for mainnet to go live is Jan 18th. If it's after that date, it won't be much later. In near future, we'll publicly help all those interested in mining to get their gear setup for launch. All information will be posted here and on the other Decred platforms.
I have been following btcsuite (aka Conformal's btcd) for some time and the quality of the codebase is really good.
Schnorr signatures and transaction expiration are very nice additions.
Will follow the project for sure, it will be _interesting_ to see a coin governed by a meritocracy.
Thank you very much. The kind words echo hope for a legitimate alternative cryptocurrency - despite the fact that everyone has been beat up by crappy projects. We can't let that deter us as a community. A mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship between Decred and Bitcoin is not only a possibility, but becoming a reality. The btcsuite guys are dedicated and write high quality code - and that's the plan for Decred. Let the improvements flow both ways.
