with dao heading to 0 and eth getting crashed I can see big-ass gains for lisk.

Great news. Any news on the poloniex listing?

first of all i think hunting a "get listed to bittrex" hype would be a bad move anyway
second if u did aim for that u added at one of the worst possible moments which reduced that effect to zero

From what I understand, it's quite a bit different that regular POS systems.

"Staking in Decred works in a similar way to a lottery, you purchase tickets with the available DCR coins you have or the amount you want to use. Ticket price started at 2 DCR and it changes based on users staking, though it is currently pretty high priced at about 14 DCR, so you might want to carefully choose the timing when to purchase tickets. Then you need wait for your ticket to be randomly chosen to validate a block or to be taken out of the lottery in 142 days if you do not win anything. The coins you use for staking (purchasing tickets for the lottery) will be locked until they are either chosen and you get your staking reward or 142 days pass . According to the information available the lottery lasts about 28 days average and the chance of a ticket not being selected in 142 days are less than 1%, but since it is all luck based your results may vary."

i have done a simple math in the past about this, and it was 0.03 btc per day with 1k decred staking, however this was when decred was at 0.005 btc

These are not unfair concerns. Now that Decred has seen its first quarter, it's an important time to begin our review as a community and as a project. This will be done as an announcement. To answer your questions directly, the RFPs to date are set out predominantly to address issues of accessibility, whether it's access to the software and network functions through GUIs (RFP-1, RFP-2), access to information about network activity (RFP-3), access to information about how to use the software and different platforms (RFP-4), or access to Decred through PoW mining through software (RFP-5) or PoS (RFP-6) mining through stake pools. All of these RFPs are on-going and aim to improve the means by which users can access the software.

Once these are complete and at a reasonable level of maturity, Decred RFPs will transform to address new needs evidenced by users. You can already see that happening with work into getting much better at Decred's presentation to the outside world (RFP-7), due to the fact that other RFPs are progressing, and exploratory work into transaction scripts such as smart contracts (RFP-8). Another incredible milestone that most users are not aware of is dcrd is currently being synced to its upstream project (btcd). Most cryptocurrencies do not enjoy this, but with continued development, Decred gets to pull in a lot of improvements. So for example, dcrd will see a major redesign and rewrite of the database package for highly optimized read performance with consistent write performance regardless of database size, once the sync is complete (to name one of the bigger improvements).

Achievement of these milestones will lead to demos of blockchain governance, followed by actual "smooth" hard forks, and progressing community members into the project governance side. It may not be super visible at the moment, as most of the visible work goes into the code repositories, but output will eventually become more visible when some of the accessibility milestones are reached. Once that happens, Decred is one step closer to its goal of consensus-based decision-making through voting on the blockchain. It is at that point where things get really interesting when Decred is much more accessible, decentralized, and ready for wider participation.

@dygus is right, still, @covetress &co you/we should consider making a clear tutorial for it since I found - and anwser - this issue multiple times.
Probably a video would be gud. Should discuss it on trello/slack

price is tanking even lower now heading to sub 300k, is this coin doomed? maybe it increased too fast, it wss under 50k at the beginning, what are the new features for this coin, that will increase its hype?

Good question, we need more experienced members to explain on the thread. I do not want to risk losing my coins if I attempt to transfer them to a wallet that hasn't synced properly.

very much needed gui wallet. Dev any progress
