Hmm... By the way, "DCR" ticker is already taken by DeltaCredits (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/deltacredits-trade-in-ends-in-less-than-24-hours-1155319). You may want to reconsider.

Interesting project, otherwise.

I think this comes out of XT debacle. BTC is least centralized currency although decision making is a mess but this takes it to next level by decentralizing the decision making. Its a novel effort but it all comes down to the fact that, whether people are ready to take responsibility, get involved or not. I am not a blogger but my thoughts on link below might be relevant to how decentralized this project will be.

Looking forward to this & registering for airdrop with this account. Smiley

Link to forum or what?

Hi lin0sspice, if others are curious, you're referring to the qualification to be included in the airdrop. All that means is the project is trying to make sure the coins go to people who are contributors - people who want to participate in the project, and a good way to check for that is to try and allocate it to people who have contributed to other projects in the past, since they're likely to continue doing that in the future. It's a good way to build something from the bottom-up and everyone can participate together.

That could mean an account on here where you've been engaged with the issues in cryptocurrency for example. If you don't have anything you think that would satisfy the airdrop qualification, you can get in touch and let the project know what you want to work on in the future and be eligible for it. It's strictly unconditional, since the project won't force people to contribute. I hope that helps, and thank you for giving it consideration!

The goal is to spread the network far and wide and help decentralization from day one!

Been following your projects for a while now as a Go developer. Cheers.
I can see an interest into this, so i might as well follow too and see where it will go, the presentation is great.

Interesting! Watching - looking forward for this  Smiley
tacotime being involved is a big plus. Following

Thank you for the kind words and stopping by! Please make sure you guys have signed up for the airdrop if you're interested in that! And I hope you don't mind me quoting you to get our post activity up (so the images can show up). Tongue

... I signed up for the airdrop with my bitcointalk account. Not sure if I'll qualify, but I've done some miner and wallet gui wrappers for Myriadcoin and Monero, respectively, using a github account with same nick that I use here.

Looking forward to the release and hope everything goes smoothly.

You will definitely qualify. Anyone will who expresses interest and shows some sign of contributory/constructive thought. The project is inclusive, so nobody will sit on a throne and make decisions to exclude people - it's only meant as a rough filter to try and avoid people who have no interest in building it up. It's also unconditional, but that's a risk the community will take collectively - better to give people the benefit of the doubt if they're prepared to give the project consideration!

Thought maybe cardboardoranges is a relative of tacotime's, but it doesn't look like it's the case. If you're a lurker, welcome! Cheesy

Thanks! I follow Monero threads and am active on IRC and Reddit. I generally avoid BCT due to the vast amounts of BS floating around, but with this I pulled the trigger Wink

Nice writeup, will be watching this. I enjoy seeing the timeline it says everything about the hard work.

This means a lot, thank you. The hope is that we can see Decred grow alongside btcsuite in a symbiotic relationship where improvements on either of those get fed back into the other. btcsuite has proven itself to be a strong project, stronger than ever, and that was part of the motivation to bring that consistent and high-quality development input into an "altcoin" project. We haven't seen that to date, at the very least limited examples compared to the sheer number of projects that don't keep up the dev work. That's part of a bigger problem that needs to be solved to legitimize alternative cryptocurrency systems.

Why do you need a new account just to follow one coin?

Looks neat. Not sure the premine is the best idea, and airdrops have a somewhat notorious history in cryptoland, imo, but with that being said, I'd be happy to participate in this one Cheesy

Those are fair comments. The project struggled with this for a long time...

I agree, it's a difficult if not intractable problem. At this point it almost seems better to call it something, anything, besides a premine - Etherium and their ICO or Darkcoin and their instamine, both kind of do linguistic gymnastics just to avoid the use of the 'p-word'.

Anyway, I signed up for the airdrop with my bitcointalk account. Not sure if I'll qualify, but I've done some miner and wallet gui wrappers for Myriadcoin and Monero, respectively, using a github account with same nick that I use here.

Looking forward to the release and hope everything goes smoothly.
