Everything is up for discussion - but at this point in time all effort the project has is going into making sure the technology works as intended and is tested properly. That's the primary focus now. The logic behind the structure of the airdrop is for it to be as simple as possible. It will all be over in a single block.


Funny you should mention that, pretty sure it came up in early discussions. In all likelihood it'll end up being a made-up word now in terms of meaning - have it take on a meaning people ascribe to it over time.

I am interested in potentially submitting some contributions, either personally or with my team.

On-chain dice is the traditional first use case for a bootstrapping new coin.   

We shouldn't approach vendors until it actually exists and has been verified to work properly/safely.  They ain't got time for no vaporware!

Of course getting XDC listed on exchanges should start ASAP.

Have you set up any vendors yet that want to start taking Dcred. For this to go it is going to have to be spent. And just converting it to Fiat is not gonna make it grow.
I wanna mine, stake and spend. Can't wait to fill up my wallet and pass some to my friends.

What's the blocktime?  2 min?  10 min?  Is it up for a vote?  Same for max_block_size?  Is there a Monero-like penalty for large blocks? Is everything up for a vote (including the ~21e6 coin limit)?

In terms of the name, made up words are always nice since you don't have to translate them (an idea that goes back at least to Kodak if not earlier).

here's what the tab I open for your website says

"SSL connection error

Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error code: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR"

any other websites I go to open up no problem so I just wondered if I needed some authenication to get in or what.

Non-coders are welcome! The project is inclusive by design and in its philosophy going forward. If you are interested in contributing in the future, there's a place for you, even if you haven't contributed to things in the past. All we ask is that you submit some form of online presence so we can filter out people who have no real interest, since the project will be built on contributors. Even a forum account where you've talked and thought about the issues is sufficient to be included in the airdrop. It's a crude mechanism to try and act in the best interest of the starting conditions of the project (balanced against the realities of building technology like Decred).


The web site is up and running on this end. Can anyone else confirm problems? If you continue having problems, contact @decredproject on Twitter or post in r/decred on reddit for help with getting submitted for the airdrop.

So ONLY people that are contributing to this coin like coders can get this coin? I don't know anything about coding but would like to get some of these coins to stake up, so what do I need to do in order to either earn some or be in the airdrop?

I tried to go to your website https://www.decred.org/ but either it's not working or I don't have permission to actually go there, so how do I sign up or show support as a non coder?

So, should i assume that airdrop is not up for discussion?

Also, the name could be D(ecentralized)-Cred(it), so D-Cred with ticker DCRD

@decred I still dont get the starting block reward, can you give me a number?

I have an alternate idea regarding airdrop.

I think we can divide the community airdrop into two parts say 80/20. Now those who want to get involved with their work or by taking important roles can be given 20% of coins as they work. Rest of the coin should be put aside for 2 months. After two months people who are holding coins should be invited to sign a message with there address & share it with devs, people who have mined/staked, run nodes, or just steadily accumulated the coins on market should be given the coins in equal amounts as they show they want to be a part of community & will hold the airdrop & not just dump it. Also, we can sort list with people with least coins on top so distribution gets diverse.

This will allow those who are helping with bg infrastructure of coin an incentive to remain involved & also reduce dumps to the market in initial phase of the project. With current scheme its very hard to tell who is truly commited or not. Also my proposal will  help build initial infrastructure for the coin with an incentive for people to get involved in other important activities other than coding. I am not a coder or great with PR/relationship building but i want to help & get involved to best of my abilities. This will give me some incentive to do that, although i will do it anyways as i like the idea of this coin very much.

I hope i am not being naive here with this idea. Please do tell me if i am wrong or missing something.
