I've been tracking Decent(Dct) for a while. One of the first blockchain projects established in 2015. What are your thoughts? Anybody investing in or thinking of doing it? I didn't see much talking about here.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/decent/ (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/decent/)

Well, it's an old project but seems the project doesn't working well to the community. It's maybe because the project is not really hard on marketing or somewhat. You may check their telegram community, they have less than 2000 people inside their group.

For an old project, I can say they are out preforming. While the rest of the project that had already developed their product got a good price already, DCT should have at least $0.50 so we can consider at least they did step up. There were complains about this project for not distributing their bounty tokens for more than a year but look how they got even after doing it.

If it doesn't have much discussions about it means that this coin is already forgotten. I'm impress that despite of that, dct still has $3M worth of market cap and still has a quite good volume on some exchanges.

I'm not willing to explore this kind of project. It's a probable trap if you ever end up with this kind of idea but if by chance that you're lucky enough and this coin would pump 100% after you invested, you need to get out quickly.

This announcement have been published today in the Decent ANN thread.


All recent posts in the ANN thread are about bounties and distribution issues; Decent project willing to pay eth instead of Decent (different Blockchains).
Decent and other slowly move projects show no real proofs about progression. It's pathetic when a project just can't handle its bounty program  :'(

Its basically just a sign of low or no self esteem by the devs of the project
Refusal to comply with bounty terms (created by them at the start of bounty) is enough signs that they won’t fulfill the product promised in the whitepaper

We need not waste time monitoring such project s

With a lot of altcoins, of course, it makes me confused to invest in which altcoin. Which has been old or new, of course this is actually a difficult choice if I have to invest in DCT. Because I first heard of the altcoin. I often invest in the top altcoin, because in my opinion it's the right choice and potentially.

In fact, I see a concrete work. My goal is not to be rich with Decent. I want to make a long-term investment with enough confidence. I don't agree with the idea that the project is dying. They are constantly improving their platform. They continue to build partnerships. But the market value is very low.

Investing is a tough job :)

Maybe this coin can bring some profit over time if the team behind it doing their works and somehow try to get more investors who invest on it, but no can guarantee that will bring a profit.

The Dev team needs to sort out payments for bounty as they will show sign of seriousness from their end

An old blockchain technology doesn’t mean a good one, i never heard about this coin and maybe the team are not that good in terms of marketing their coin. Though they need to be more active so they can match a higher coin, and attract investors. Its been four years now since this coin begin to work and yet, they are still down so try to care on investing.

let alone the 2015 project, the project that just launched the token to the market will definitely be abandoned after everyone withdraws. ico cycle like this, the old project will be immediately abandoned even though it's a success, and everyone needs a new project to look for other income.

They have offices in 9 countries. I see it as a deeply rooted project. You may be right in what you say. Different scenarios can be seen if they can touched communities.

thanks for your comment, and everyone :)

A project that has been around since 2015 and is still running is a somewhat good sign, but it's not a good sign that a project has been around since then and we have barely heard of it. Some of the earliest projects have stagnated. The problem with older projects is that they have been surpassed by newer projects and technologies. One project using the Decent protocol, ATMChain if I recall correctly, has not met the expectations of many investors. I dumped it long ago when I saw a weak community and no effort to communicate with it.

Many old project of ICO was die with lower price after listing on exchange market and many of them was die because less regulation by their country, I think is not good for holding in long time and keep selling after raised higher price.

i remember when this launched im pretty sure.
i think it looked not bad IIRC back then
im not much of a trader/gambler but if i was that chart looks like it could do something one day
maybe some whales have been accumulating :P its on Trex, never know

I am not sure about DCT, because as long as I play at Bittrex I rarely hear the movements of the DCT,
but if for long-term investment it might be good, because DCT is already listed in bittrex, and as we know, when BTC bulls, other coins in bittrex will also be bull.

I think we are well past the point of considering the worthiness of projects based on what exchanges they are on. You can be on an exchange one day and the next get delisted. As the market matures you need substance behind your project. One problem Decent has is it's ranked 500 or something like that which tells me the market is not convinced of the project's potential.

They succeed on their first year but failed on the next years just like this one. An old project without any support from its investors are quiet not good to hold for. Actually I'm not looking to the old ICO now because they are fading away slowly and dying. If its unexplored project, then someone should work to discover it and try to survive the technology.

If I see the Decent charts, I doubt to invest in this coin. It seems the price going to decrease over time. It is better to see new issues that can improve the DCT price first. Then, it may be the right time to buy since sometimes it can trigger the rising of a coin/token price.  

I think DCT still has a good dev behind it and also the team behind it due to the site is still up until now and the coin has still a good value for an old coin comparing on the coin that recently listed but the value is really on the floor, since it was lauch 4 years ago the value is still good but it most of the time the price is continuously hitting the ground.

     Decent (Dct) is an old project that still resists the crypto market, but because there are few people on the telegram, it looks like the project is not going well and the community does not have much confidence in the project.
      I hope to get it wrong, but it seems that the project team does not get involved very much, although it is a capable and experienced team.
Claims related to reward distribution can be a problem for them, because it's just a bad advertisement for the project.

There are many solid projects like that that are still under performing due to one reason or the other. Some underperformed due to poor marketing efforts by the team of such projects and whenever they get it right again, it goes up within a short period of it. It's always a goldmine to invest in such projects and this is one of them.

I remember decent project back in the days ,its like those projects that have good start but on the long run they start losing fans in community, we have many projects in crypto space that are like this but after few years they will shrink to worse,if I'm holding any I would have gave up on them already and sell off my holdings

Well I've never heard of this project before..  May just look into it In my spare time.. must be a legit one if it has been able too survive all this time

I just saw DECENT (DCT) for the first time, after reading your post here. I think the price is pretty good with $ 0.07 and is ranked 512 in Coinmarketcap. Yeah, it looks like there's a good chance if we want to buy it. Thanks for the information.

Not really, I used to look at the BTC wallet of the project and they still keep 5000 BTC in that wallet. The project continues to grow and they have a bounty program for those who test their wallet.

Decent good project. There is a good and experienced team, employee system, business partners, office in 9 countries and social media communities in 6 languages. I think it should be in the top 100.

If they are that old and you are not hearing much about them, then the developers are basically losing their grip to the new projects, so they need to be more active like the rest in pushing the project forward.

They need to constantly be reminding the world out there of their existence and not within their locality alone, because selling their product or whatever services they have within their locality will not be enough to really gain the increase they want, so they need more product users and investors all over the world for them to be successful.

Since 2015?? Is indeed an old project but what baffles me is how will a old project like this will still not been heard that well in the crypto space since they started 4years ago, that means their team are not getting it very right.

Wow, 512 rank is really a very far one for them to be spotted easily on CMC, they really need to be very active, and these type of projects that has stayed for this long without crashing are the one worthy of investing in, because it shows that they have a working product that has been speaking for them all these while.

They owe the OP for really bringing them out to the public again and if every of their investors can do the same thing OP did in creating awareness for them, especially their team member, then there is chances of them fully recovering again and being among the top 10 on CMC.

I have made some arbitrage deals with Decent but nothing more. This is one of the most slowly developing projects, because there are tons of tokens that have already made x100 from their starting date back in 2015.

Of course, respect for such projects, which, despite the current conditions, continue to exist for a long period and bring profit.

I think projects like this which fail to honour agreement with bounty hunters often meet their Waterloo.. I believe in karma and secondly why would I choose to keep an investment in a project that can't even honour agreement with bounty hunters who literally worked tiredlessly to promote the project?... I think things like this aren't good for the crypto space... Developers should learn to threat bounty hunters with more respect because some bounty hunters have been around even long before some of this developers got in sync with cryptocurrencies.

Maybe if you are holding a token of DCT before, and remember that you need to get the best out of it. It is the best thing that you bring it back on the market again. Hypes basically will be a good factor for investors to look again at that project, in that case, they might have a willingness to make that project revived, and the best part is that, it can have a better value again.

This is quite true. A project with responsibilities to thr community is a factor as well on investors criteria. Imagine, a great ICO cannot suffice or paid their dues to the community help them? What more to investors who invested their money with. I think decent has bo progress for the last 4years and that is actually on them. Dead project indeed! I will pick a new one with much more potential than this major coin who keeps treating their community with silent pacing.

Well , if the project actually had something to offer, then I believe it would have been digged out by now and brought to light by members of the community who make research on projects to see which is a good one, so I don't think it really have real life value to offer to the crypto community, though I am going to make my own research about the project to see whether it is a good buy or one should just ignore it the way it is because a project without a real life value will have a very short life span in price growth.

It does not mean that old projects are always good and they are worthy of investment. Old projects lagging behind means they have failed to perform well and are not accepted by the market due to various reasons. It may be a lack of enough advertisements that pushes projects towards the verge of disappearance. Whatever maybe the reason behind the DECENT failing to keep up. I think if the project has much to offer, it will revive again.

It's been old, which means it doesn't work well in the community and it seems like most investors does not know about this coin. If I were to invest, I prefer the new projects with good reputation and public ratings.

I totally agree with you. Once I invested $ 100 in a similar forgotten project and in a few months I received $ 150. However, a month later, the price of a coin began to fall sharply.

Like waiting for an uncertain thing..
I suggest just following the official website and start the discussion with the same people following the project..!!

It does not matter how old a project is that determine it success, but the impact the project can give to the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. If the project was started at far back 2015 and until now it can not see limelight then that is a prove of it non relevancy in the crypto space.

There are a lot of such projects. I see how the projects that were created in 2013 have not yet died and are trying to develop, but I do not understand why

If the Devs are not serious, then it will just stay old. The competition is tough in crypto right now.

This is really an old project but I think it's development team does not already running it. When we try to observe in their community, they only have a few people in their telegram channel, in this case, we can say that their team is not active on marketing and they only have a few exchange/s where they are listed but those exchanges are good and have a high volume.

less people in telegram group doesn't mean if the project is bad or doesn't working well,,
because i see their facebook page always give an updates about their project my friend
somehow i think this coin is undervalued for now,, and one of the best thing is this project listed at bittrex

Maybe DCT is only you can call the 1st blockchain project established im 2015 but I don't really know DCtT personally. For sure it is not that successful, try to seek for some coins that already has a potential than to invest with a not so popular coin. Just saying dude.

I just heard this and maybe later I will monitor how they work. Of the many members here they think that it is an old project, but it doesn't matter whether they are still feasible or not depending on how they develop, usually if the old project with good prospects is quite famous and doesn't seem like this?

Would be a good entry point if their fundamentals are getting stronger.  If not then better to stay away.  I have heard this one and it did create a noise back then and slowly the noise faded due to different issue and one of which is not paying their bounty.


Because majority of us here are crazy about ICO, IEO, ITO, IPO etc.  With dozens of token that is released everyday, I doubt you would know all of them.  The fact that most that does not know Decent were created way back 2017, that tells the reason why.

Also I suggest to know their project in the future, if the team doesn't has a project then I don't think this coin is the good choice to store your money on it. Look at the doge coin, doge coin is an old coin and we know the purpose of this coin was created just for funny things, but we can see now doge coin has been listed on coinbase which mean their team always have a project future and they try to reach it. As much as possible if you intend to invest in cryptocurrency the most important that you should know is the project future because this thing will make you comfortable when the price going to fall and you don't have a dread when you pass it. 

Definitely. Just being old is better in terms of reliability than newly created. In fact, if the project was good, it should have made great progress from 2015 until now. If it has not changed much, then there was a reason.

After reading a few posts from this thread, I could deduce that DCT have some issues with distribution of bounty. If a project can't handle properly their bounty program, my conclusion is that their marketing is poor. Poor marketing might be what they need to address to get themselves known to the world if they are serious about what they are offering.

Despite being in existence since 2015, there is still no much activity within the platform , thus one can't be mistaken for saying the Devs lacks what it takes to keep the project running or turn it into a valuable one.

decent? I didn't even hear about this project after last year's fall, I thought this project was dead.

yes maybe this project has been a long time ago, but to say old I think it's still too fast. So far I see Decent has no hope of going up. low trading volume, support a small community, and are less popular. 3 things that make me sure about this.

Looking at some comments I believe, they should still be a good project since they still exist and their volume ln exchanges are pretty much a decent one since there are only a few of the community members who are still holding their coins even if its outperformed.

Probably it was just being dumped. I am speculating that team managing the project were now in working in different project for if not then they should considet promoting it and began marketing it to more users in crypto market by listing it in different exchanges. Binance.is one good exchange to be consider if the project has the money to spend for it for listing fee in BINANCE exchange.

for an old project that had collected funds since the time before the bullrun, the team must have profited a lot. i don't think they are that bankrupt. and if today they are still not listed on big exchange or begin added to another for a long time, i must say they aren't that dedicated. the expected date for the project to be developed is long over due.

Never heard about it, but seems like it is another smart-contract platform. There are already many smart-contract platforms and I think this project will find much difficulties competing with other platforms like Waves, Ethereum, even EOS. However their token are already listed on Bittrex which is a small good thing, however their marketcap is not that big, so I don't think this project worth my money, there are tons of better coins out there.

The were on one of the top exchange until Bittrex goes down the rank.  Bittrex is still a good exchange.  I belileve it  would be best to spend the money to develop the project than waste a lot of it in exchange listing.  Project is not all about being listed in all the exchanges.  It is about delivering what is laid on the roadmap.  That is what I believe.

Nowadays, most old projects are just giving up for the news projects and I don’t know why they feel threatened by the news ones, when they should be the ones ruling the market more based on their genuine mind when they first created it, most of these ICO created in 2015 still had good intention with quality products, unlike this new projects that we are now having with little passion for the project but much love for investor’s money.

Older projects needs to be up and running, there are so many marketing strategies they can still use to revive them again, people are really looking up to them for the great product they have for the crypto users.

Hello, everyone,

I just stumbled upon this thread and would like to address those comments about non-distributed bounties. I didn't find any specific case here, but if you have any, please share it or even better, send the details to support@decent.ch and we will have a look at it.

If we are talking about our most recent DECENT OPEN BOUNTY Program (https://explorer.bounties.network/profile/0xf956f4d787f8ca0f363468859e54ead5ca1e5184), it's been 17 days since the deadline. We will be distributing the bounties any day now, just waiting for some internal confirmations.

The reason for using ETH was purely out of the convenience of it - this platform we were using in our bounty program doesn't allow us technically to use DCT. Sure it makes more sense to use DCT and we will consider that in the future.

Every bounty in the past was paid out fully, even though there were some cases of people who didn't read the rules and didn't follow all the steps, like for example not sending us their wallet address until a specific date ("IMPORTANT: Bounty participants must submit their claims and sent DECENT wallet addresses before March 31st, 2018! Submissions after this date will not be processed and the ability to claim those bounties will be lost." >> https://decent.ch/blog/decent-bounty-hunters-read-this/).

There was also a lot of people who didn't finish their ICO Reclaim process, but this will soon be distributed as well. Anyone who is not sure about the status of their reclaim process are asked to contact our support on support@decent.ch and we will be happy to verify it.

Older projects don't want to lose the competition and their teams almost do all necessary requirements for preventing any potential losses. It is hard to revive the old unhealthy projects but it doesn't mean they lost the chance completely.

Yes, these old project If they are really good can still be promoting their projects since they still have supply left to be sold, so they should be more active in making it work better rather than just waiting for bull run, some of them actually picked up in the last bull run if you check their data history, so instead on relying on their product to work and earn them a good value, they keep relying on Bitcoin bull run to do the work for them, but like you said, they might actually be working on another project too which might have even been released without us knowing.

If there is still no active talk about this project, it means that it is not so interesting for society. Well, or the marketing Department of their team works very poorly. But I think the first option is more likely.

It doesn't have to be a good old project, so if we don't understand it, it's better to understand it before joining.
find out in detail so you are more sure to choose it, if the project is good and the team can develop well so that the community will be interested in the project.

Old project and still working can be a good one, they just need to improve their team and work harder with their project. If there’s a project already, that can be an advantage to them. Its good to start a marketing works again if an old project are still unknown. Interested projects will always have way to grow, but if they remain on this position then its risky for them.

It is very interesting to see DCT still alive after a surprise last year, it for sure not all of investors keep this project now and maybe they just ignore this one.

This is good to know that older projects have been stabilized and really have that potential to fight against odds. It have a good team which they are working hard to make it more valuable than of the others that is why they have that guts to compete others in the market.

To be honest, I think that old projects have not a big chance to show good growth. Nowadays new coins are interesting for the market. Therefore, I think it is better to invest in new projects.

Old project won't be rising in the surface if they are not actively developing their products,
actively in touch with community, and running some marketing strategies to create awareness about their project.
But sometimes old project can come unexpected if they have major news, about products, or listed on big exchanges, etc.

Wherein those older projects are the most reliable ones, how many of these old projects have you heard or seen with issues of scam? None of them, they came into being when people still have a very good mind towards ICO, unlike this new ones now that are promising to develop based on the faults they have seen in the older projects.

If they so much have the interest of the crypto space at heart, they would have just merge with these older projects since they all have an idea, and  knowing fully well that too many coins we have in the market is also contributing to why our crypto space is filled with all these shitcoins.
