What now? Any news? If the price will rise, why would it? You cant really use Decred to pay etc. yet.
The first RFP will go up soon - that will be for native GUIs. A Windows GUI is well underway, but UI/UX designers are likely going to have to step in and pretty it up. That's where the RFP will come in as well. Mac OS X and then Linux GUIs are on the cards too and big priorities. A stake pool is going up very soon (today or tomorrow), so any user can get involved in voting and PoS mining using a web interface. That's critically important. In the meantime, I'll continue correspondence and get in touch with other people based on community feedback to let them know Decred developers are standing by and ready to help anyone interested in integration. There's also RPC work and developers have looked at a web dashboard so the network is visible and interpretable by anyone. And of course, everything built is open-source, so anyone can work with it and improve it. |

obviously the first millions coins that were instamined belong to him!!!!? ;-) lol
There was no instamine. That's why the network behaved the way it did. I guess it's already been asked but what's the ETA of a GUI wallet?
There's discussion about this on the forum and it looks like the very first request for proposals (RFP) is going to go to GUI development. Certainly the greatest demand from users. There's already quite mature GUI code available and there will be a serious effort to add "shine" in terms of UI. In other words, the first item of development spending from the subsidy is likely going to be GUIs for Windows, OS X, and Linux. Also, it looks like ccminer now supports Decred! Welcome NVIDIA miners! A big thank you to tpruvot and everyone who helped! |

So what's up with the block times? Is it a diff algo bug or a feature?
What you are seeing is the effect of a phenomenon. Decred had approximately 3-4 TH/s on the network at peak, then lost 2-3 TH/s suddenly. During this time, the block interval was too fast. Now the network is compensating for this by having slower blocks, so that the average time is 5 minutes. At block 864 it will adjust again to a lower difficulty. The difficulty algorithm seeks to meet an average block time. This is the effect of "anti-instamine", if you will. Blocks are coming in, and the people mining get the same share of decred they would at a lower difficulty. These are early days, people. The network has shown it can weather the storm and is now beginning to readjust again. The devs are working every day. The community is growing. There was even mainstream press today. The first request-for-proposals (RFP) are going up soon and a stake pool is being tested as I write this. This is a long-term project, so strap in. |

It seems the web wallet is still down.
There's been quite a lot of traffic again, so this will get restored, failover put in place for it, and monitoring put up. Sorry about the delay. |

Company 0 (c0) are the guys that developed Decred and btcsuite. They are the main developers working on both packages, but not the only developers. They have a long history of free and open-source work. btcsuite for example is a suite of packages and tools for working with Bitcoin in Go (golang) including btcd, a full node, mining capable, Bitcoin implementation. They've also done a ton of work on bitrig - which is an OpenBSD-based operating system. Just a little background on their software development work in the past. That's the main force behind Decred in terms of development, funding, and infrastructure at present. |

Anyone else getting "Error at Wallet Service: Insight Error" on the WebWallet? What does it mean?
I've left a message for the devs about this. There's a lot of traffic, so the services are struggling to keep up. I'll report back when it's fixed or if there's more information when the devs are up. |

i fucked up and started my public passphrase with a - so it's seen as an argument in cmd line; is there any way i can fix this? thanks
Wrap it in single quotes. |

Hey everyone, the mainnet block explorer is currently crashing due to a high volume of traffic. So please hang in there, there's a lot of traffic! |

The mainnet binary decryption key (password) will be posted here at launch as well as on the forum, Twitter, Reddit, and IRC. |

Nice. Will add this to the list. |
|
|
|
I'm keeping track of them as well. So far I know of three to list: You've forgot coinmine.pl: http://coinmine.pl/dcrAh, thank you! I've updated my personal list and will make sure it's listed. |

I'm keeping track of them as well. So far I know of three four to list: Edit: Forgot one - added as per ocminer's suggestion. |

100 testnet dcr each - 963bad65f9508560d9bac9a46b90f3b3c9254ce528e4c4e98482b1b9960e3aa3. Thanks for your help with testing! |

Quick update on cgminer. There was a v0.0.2 release with updated builds (Linux) and more recently, a v0.0.3 release for Windows - for those who don't check GitHub regularly. Will get the OP text updated as well. |

This means that many miners and pools are interested in the coin even before the launch which IMO it's a good sign
It's pretty good. There are already two PoW pools close to completion - developed independently by two different people. There will be a rudimentary proof-of-concept PoS pool hosted as well. The hope is that people can then take that code, improve it, and develop their own voting pools that others can join. The project can then list all of these pools and update the information so it's accessible to anyone. That will be a good start. |

Some idiots here believe that FUD is an acronym for complaining! Let's separate FUD from constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is needed. Thanks! And special thanks to Rizz!
Constructive criticism is very important to any type of collaborative work. The key here is collaboration - and it must be based in fact and reason. That is not an unreasonable standard. Once criticism becomes completely negative and mixed with personality issues (regardless of intent), any real kind of progress becomes impossible to attain. The best position to take in that case is to focus on the work and get on with it. Even epic trolls will get responses, but there are severe limits to those responses if the situation does not improve. If the project got bogged down in all the attacks, everyone would still be waiting for the first announcement to come out. That's why there is a standard to uphold and to operate in that framework so work can get done and everyone can move forward together. |

I spent all day on testnet, make a personal step by step to get ready and fast at mainnet launch to create wallet,invested in rig, to solo mine on first minutes without pool like ETEHEREUM, an now everything will be ready 24 hours before? So, who bought gpu only for solo mine decred at launch for some minutes are completely cutted off, since all you can do is rent rig or mine at pool.
Now, solo mining chance for those ones who own private home rig or have bought rig only for decred are near to 0% to since launch rules have changed.
A normal launch was better, cause only real interested people got chance to mine for first (those ones who have studied testnet,setted up optimal cgminer settings,etc etc).
Now everyone got 24 hours time to slowly set-up everything. Than just push ONE button and strat to mine.
However, good luck. I'm waiting for release.
It was much better a regular launch instead of a "planned 24 hours launch".
Thank you for being candid and honest about how you feel. The first part of the issue is more about consistent returns. Solo mining is very binary - you either get nothing or a lot. In a pool, you get a little bit for every block the pool finds. Typically and over time, this increases your earnings as a miner. This is also proportional to the hash power you provide to the pool. The second part of the issue is that once the network hash power is sufficiently higher than your available hash power, the chances of you solo finding a block effectively go to 0. So getting a small piece of every block the pool finds is better than 0 - given that it's proportional to your hash power. |

Oh my pool is ready already  I was hoping for a regular launch as I think this is much more fair than a "planned launch" with everything ready 'off shelve' ...This makes it rather mainstream IMHO.. If you want, you can send me the details and I'll list the pool for you when it's ready on a date closer to mainnet launch (or when you want me to). |

Hey everyone, mainnet launch date is 12:00 PM CST February 8th, 2016. Some extra information here. This will mean extra work completed on PoW pools and a simple PoS pool on launch. Hopefully now everyone can make their arrangements for the big day! |
