Created an account (finally) just to follow this. Looks really interesting!

Reserved.

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

I'm goin' to create an account - crate-o-grapes - to follow cardboardoranges. Tongue

Thank you for not making this thread a self-moderated one. I promise to be kind unless ... (assuming you know what 'unless' consist of). To date, I like what I see, sans uber minor issues.

Full Disclosure: I, personally, won't be partaking in the airdrop, having no real qualms with said approach. To date, I've yet to own a single satoshi worth of any cryptocurrency with the exception of bitcoins.

What is the origin and meaning of the name "Decred"? How is it pronounced?

tacotime came up with it while brainstorming with c0. If I remember correctly, it was on the topic of "decentralized credits". It's kind of taken on a meaning of its own now. It seems that most people who see it think it's pronounced "dee-cred".

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).

Reading now after stumbling upon Decred (added to laptop's dictionary) via Google News, desiring to comment on the post above. I, too, am finalizing my project for a January 2016 release which has a plethora of neologisms distinguishing it from its [nonexistent] competition.

I'm goin' finish reading this thread to see if Decred could somehow benefit my endeavor and versa visa.

Now on Watch List.

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.

Online presence with reasonable activity:
What is that mean??
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!

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!

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
