DCRtime, Politeia and a lot of kinds of smart contracts can serve many purposes in decred.
I'm the community manager from Brazil. We have a large decred community here.
Here are two examples of Brazilian companies that use dcrtime as the basis of their business.

Originalmy www.originalmy.com is a company that uses the decred blockchain to do the registration of documents, patents, contracts, etc.
The birth certificate of a child has already been recorded through it.
The Brazilian courts are already accepting originalmy.com as proof

Votolegal https://votolegal.com.br/ is a project where any citizen can audit the accounts of the participating politicians who are all registered also in the decred blockchain, through dcrtime.
It's a way for politicians to prove to their voters that they aren't involved in money diversion or money laundering.

dcrd

This release of dcrd contains significant performance enhancements, infrastructure improvements, improved access to chain-related information for providing better SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) support, and other quality assurance changes.

A significant amount of infrastructure work has also been done this release cycle towards being able to support several planned scalability optimizations.

Downgrade Warning

The database format in v1.2.0 is not compatible with previous versions of the software. This only affects downgrades as users upgrading from previous versions will see a one time database migration.

Once this migration has been completed, it will no longer be possible to downgrade to a previous version of the software without having to delete the database and redownload the chain.

Notable Changes

Significantly Faster Startup

The startup time has been improved by roughly 17x on slower hard disk drives (HDDs) and 8x on solid state drives (SSDs).

In order to achieve these speedups, there is a one time database migration, as previously mentioned, that will likely take a while to complete (typically around 5 to 6 minutes on HDDs and 2 to 3 minutes on SSDs).

Support For DNS Seed Filtering

In order to better support the forthcoming SPV wallets, support for finding other peers based upon their enabled services has been added. This is useful for both SPV wallets and full nodes since SPV wallets will require access to full nodes in order to retrieve the necessary proofs and full nodes are generally not interested in making outgoing connections to SPV wallets.

Committed Filters

With the intention of supporting light clients, such as SPV wallets, in a privacy-preserving way while still minimizing the amount of data that needs to be downloaded, this release adds support for committed filters. A committed filter is a combination of a probabilistic data structure that is used to test whether an element is a member of a set with a predetermined collision probability along with a commitment by consensus-validating full nodes to that data.

A committed filter is created for every block which allows light clients to download the filters and match against them locally rather than uploading personal data to other nodes.

A new service flag is also provided to allow clients to discover nodes that provide access to filters.

There is a one time database update to build and store the filters for all existing historical blocks which will likely take a while to complete (typically around 2 to 3 minutes on HDDs and 1 to 1.5 minutes on SSDs).

Updated Atomic Swap Contracts

The standard checks for atomic swap contracts have been updated to ensure the contracts enforce the secret size for safer support between chains with disparate script rules.

RPC Server Changes

New getchaintips RPC
A new RPC named getchaintips has been added which allows callers to query information about the status of known side chains and their branch lengths. It currently only provides support for side chains that have been seen while the current instance of the process is running. This will be further improved in future releases.


dcrwallet

This release provides bug fixes for issues reported by users as well as new RPC features and additions which are required for Decrediton and Politeia. SPV work is ongoing but these changes will not land until a future release and after most of the network nodes are running with committed filter support.

This release contains a database upgrade and once upgraded it is not possible to downgrade to previous wallet releases without performing a seed restore with the old version.

Bug fixes
Orphan votes (votes which have become invalid for the new main chain tip block after a reorg or missed vote) are now rejected from reentering the wallet if still notified by dcrd.
Watching only wallets are now usable again, after a breaking change to them introduced in the 1.1.2 release.
The transaction fee when purchasing tickets with the purchaseticket JSON-RPC and WalletService.PurchaseTickets gRPC methods will now fallback to the wallet's configured fee rate if not specified by the RPC request.
Various gRPC methods which allowed specifying 0 DCR as a target amount (e.g. WalletService.FundTransaction) now follow their documentation and will return or use as many unspent outputs as possible.
Outputs of transactions with an expiry set are not spendable by consensus rules until having reached coinbase maturity. These outputs are no longer returned or used when selecting previous outputs to create new transactions.

New features
A new gRPC method WalletService.UnspentOutputs has been added to return a stream of all wallet unspent outputs. Outputs may be filtered by their associated account and required confirmations, as well as stopping once a total target amount has been reached or exceeded.
A new gRPC method WalletService.BestBlock has been added which will return the hash and height of the current main chain tip block. Previously, this information was only available as a unary RPC with the WalletService.Accounts method.
The gRPC method WalletService.GetTickets will paginate results if called with a new target ticket count parameter.
A new gRPC method WalletService.CommittedTickets has been added to find ticket purchase hashes specified by the request where the largest P2PKH commitment amount is controlled by the wallet. The commitment address is additionally returned by the result.
A new gRPC method WalletService.SignMessages has been added to sign multiple messages at a time without needing to unlock and lock the wallet before and after each call.
The gRPC BlockDetails and BlockInfoResponse messages now include a new field which specifies whether votes in the block disapprove of the parent block.
A new JSON-RPC method publishunminedtransactions has been added which resends all unmined transactions of the wallet.
A new JSON-RPC method sweepaccount has been added which can be used to move as much value as possible from an account to either (possibly the same) account or an address. This RPC can be used in place of the consolidate method but without knowing and specifying exactly how many inputs to use.
The new JSON-RPC methods startautobuyer and stopautobuyer have been added which can start and stop the automatic ticket purchaser over JSON-RPC, similar to the already existing StartAutoBuyer and StopAutoBuyer gRPC methods of the TicketBuyerService.
The JSON-RPC method getbalance now returns aggregate balances for all accounts if called with the special * account name.

Other improvements
The sendtosstx, sendtossgen, and sendtossrtx JSON-RPC methods have been removed. These RPCs were intended to manually send ticket purchases, votes, and revocations manually, but were unimplemented and would cause crashes if used.
Transaction size estimation has been improved to more accurately estimate fees, in particular when redeeming with pay-to-script-hash redeem scripts.
The help JSON-RPC method text for the getbalance RPC has been updated to reflect the changes made to the returned object.
Users are now informed with log messages to configure their public passphrase or enter it on startup if the wallet is encrypted with one but it was not specified.
Script execution errors during sanity checks after signing inputs now record additional information about the failure including the previous output and script being spent and the signature script used by the input.

decrediton

This release of decrediton adds some major changes to the wallet startup, overview page and adds the first round of statistics for better user information. Now that the overall look and feel designed by Eeter has been implemented we will be focusing on refinement and adding improved responsiveness (e.g. dark mode, resolving to various media widths).

Launcher has been redesigned to provide the user with a more intuitive startup experience. In normal working mode, the daemon (of the chosen network) will begin to sync and become operational while the user completes wallet creation/selection. Then once both the wallet is ready and the daemon has synced the wallet will fully load.

A tutorial, release notes, settings and logs have all been added to the launcher for the user to utilize whilst they may be waiting for their daemon to sync. Hopefully this will allow the user to more seamlessly create wallets with less confusion or require any additional support.

The wallet creation by seed has received a substantial update as well. We now allow the user to copy seeds (if they complete a warning screen) and also paste seeds. And for confirmation for new wallets only requires the user to complete 1/3 of the words to confirm storage of wallet's seed.

Overview has been redesigned to give the user more information about their wallet's current situation and to guide them where to find various features of their wallet. Basic graphs covering balances, tickets and transactions have been added. All recent transactions and recent ticket activity can be found below the overview graphs. We will be adding more features to the overview page as we gauge user interest and feedback on existing additions.

Introductory data preparation and statistics have been implemented for this release. For now we are providing a small window of lookback for transactions, staking and other information. The reduced window size is mostly an issue with unsatisfactory performance. When this performance improves, we will be adding custom windows and window lengths for custom graphing and exporting options.


New features
Validate Addresses - a form to validate addresses has been added to the Security Center. This will allow users to test addresses to confirm address ownership and/or validity.
Filter by address - now transactions can be filtered by address in History. When the user enters a string into the address filter form, it will show any address that has an output with a matching address.
Charts - we have decided to use recharts as our first charting solution.
Import wallet from hex seed - instead of entering in the 33 word mnemonic, they are now able to use the hex representation of their seed.
Export data to CSV - we now all users to export various types of data to csv. These options are found under the Transactions page.
Show logs - logs can now be found on the launcher and on the help page. For now, we only show the logs of the current instance of wallet and daemon. This is mostly due to performance with pulling in thousands of lines of text.

For every coin they have a price.
The decred dev team refuses to pay to be listed on an exchange for ethical reasons.

If in the course of time asics prove to be bad for the decred market, the stakeholders can suggest and vote for the algorithm change.
This is the basis of the decred philosophy, investors govern in a totally decentralized way
Small groups will never be able to govern decred as they do in bitcoin and in all other currencies
Particularly I believe asics will be good, especially at first, because it will end the double mining with eth via gpu.
What has happened is the mining community of eth, use decred to pay for mining costs. Suppressing our market today.
They dump DCR and save ETH.
Who are ordering asics are real investors of dcr.
An opportunist will not invest in a giant mining company with the possibility of the algorithm changing.

Dyrk ended with evolution and is now only with the dcrstats pool.
He warned everyone 2 months in advance.
Send a pm to him, I'm sure your coins are safe.

Great News!

"YBF Ventures Partners with the Decred Project to Build a Decentralized Internet Hub

In an exclusive to BTCManager, YBF Ventures (formerly York Butter Factory) is partnering with Decred, an autonomous digital currency that will help YBF Ventures build out the world’s first dedicated decentralized Web 3.0 hub.

The Melbourne-based decentralized Web 3.0 hub, also known as YBF Mesh, will select a number of startups that can develop the core infrastructure and protocols of the decentralized web. Decred was one of the hub’s original founding partners when YBF Mesh launched. Decred’s unique value proposition as an autonomous digital currency that tackles the challenges of blockchain governance will significantly assist YBF Mesh with their audacious mission to build the decentralized internet on the blockchain.  

Although YBF emerged as a co-working space in 2011, they quickly developed into a diverse community of entrepreneurs and startups. The Venture Capital Fund’s web 3.0 arm, YBF Mesh is a great platform that will equip and connect emerging startups and entrepreneurs with essential resources to align their strategies and scale to create the new decentralized internet of the future.

YBF Ventures and Decred Partnership
Decred officially launched in February 2016. Unlike other altcoin projects, the focus is around community input and open governance. Decred ensures that a small number of people cannot dominate the network by using a hybrid Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake model.

With over 323,000 downloads and a rating of 4.57 out of 5 on cryptocoinjudge, Decred sustained a strong reputation as an independent, community-funded and community-owned digital currency for the people.

“Welcoming Decred to YBF Ventures’ stable of corporate partners sets the strategic pace for not just our Web 3.0 hub, YBF Mesh, but for YBF Ventures, as a whole,” said Farley Blackman, CEO of YBF Ventures. “Decred, as a decentralized autonomous organization, sets in motion the very intent of our Web 3.0 hub – the evolution to a decentralized world balancing the often desperate foundations of transparency, privacy, security, and governance.”

Decred Hopes to Scale Operations Throughout the Asia-Pacific Region
With the YBF Ventures partnership, Decred hopes to grow their Australian contractor network and scale their operations throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

“Our proposal system was designed with YBF in mind,” said Jacob Yocom Piatt, Project Lead at Decred.

“We have thrived as a currency with a distributed, entrepreneurial development team. With the launch of Politeia combines with the opportunities that YBF Mesh offers, we see a significant opportunity to grow our contributor network, create local opportunities for a talented and highly-sophisticated workforce and expand our overall presence in Australia/APAC.”

YBF Ventures sees the partnership is an excellent step toward positioning Australia is an innovative nation. It will also be an attractive haven for digital nomads and those who can leverage off the infrastructure and protocols of Web 3.0. The new partnership between both organizations aligns well with YBF Mesh’s overall goal, to provide a platform for individuals and organizations to build the next decentralized internet.

To find out more, BTCManager spoke to Decred’s Joshua Buirski.

Jacob Yocom-Piatt, Project Lead at Decred, has said, “Our Proposal System was Designed with YBF in mind,” Can You Explain a bit more About What is Meant By This?
“The goal with Politeia (or Pi) is to create a commons where corporations and individuals who want to participate in the decred ecosystem can do so in a way that the community approves of versus some opaque bidding process. It’s a decentralized planning tool.”

“Politeia has been designed with organizations such as YBF in mind. That is to say that it provides a platform for individuals and organizations who wish to contribute a variety of services to structure them into a comprehensive offering and put it forward for community approval.”

How does Decred’s Politeia Proposal System and Partnership with YBF Reinforce Each other?
“Aside from a handful of YBF Ventures’ own service offerings going through Politeia, they’ll also be planning a Politeia-specific hackathon for later on this year, as well as hosting numerous events to onboard Australian contributors and walk them through the Politeia proposal process.”

“Another thing worth mentioning is that YBF have strong government, corporate, and ecosystem partners; given that Pi has been designed for both Decred and non-Decred related use-cases alike, they’ll be helping to shed light on Pi’s capabilities and hopefully encourage their partners to consider experimenting with the platform.”

“What’s interesting here in the context of the YBF Ventures partnership, is it’s a first for both of us and sets a lot of precedence. In many ways, it serves as a legitimization of emerging decentralized organizational structures.”

“YBF Ventures are the first organization to come on-board as an organization itself rather than as a set of individuals within an organization (i.e., Company0/EETER). Similarly, Decred is YBF Ventures’ first decentralized organization to be served as a corporate client (alongside ANZ Bank, Dentsu-Aegis, EY, etc.).”

“Successful projects are not built purely by core developers. A well-rounded project requires designers, developers, business development, strategy, community managers and so on. Our model allows for contributors of all kinds to get involved (and coordinate) from anywhere in the world with minimal friction, and be rewarded for it. In many ways, it’s a meritocracy for the digital nomad.”

What are the Other Pieces of the Broader Web 3.0 puzzle? What does the Bigger Picture Look Like?
“Web 3.0 is a catchy buzzword that refers to the decentralization/distribution of all core web processes. Some of these main categories include:

Database layer (this is where blockchain pieces in for the most part)
Storage layer (Sia, Filecoin, IPFS, etc.)
Computational Layer
Infrastructural Layer (mesh networking, distributed energy grids, IoT, etc.)
Protocol Layer
Governance/Socioeconomic Layer: This one is more of a socio-economic component and one where Decred is particularly relevant. Web 3.0 requires experimentation with new economic models, organizational structures, ways-of-working, dispute resolution, etc. as a decentralized system with centralized governance is counter-intuitive.”

lol you were able to post the link

A well known community member who cann't post links here for having a noob account has developed this amazing google spreadsheet to track all the movements of your tickets with all the statistics since you started the POS mining.

It's free and to use it's necessary to have a google account
