I'm gonna go on Monday at starfish when he's speaking to the SF bitcoin meet up. Feel like there might be some better critical discussion there. The ones I've been to at Coinbase custody didn't seem to have a lot of skeptics in the audience. Also I like to play basketball on Tuesdays.

i just have 1 thing bad about DCR and that is that i didn't hold more of them , i choose to buy an asic for DCR , we all know how that ended , but slowly i will get them back , so all that marketing is bad for my portfilio , just joking , hoping all the best for DCR

Putting aside the details of devs staking the premine and vote losers still being able to fork away, this was my main point in the previous page:

If Bitcoin used this system then Barry Silbert would have activated segwit2x in like thirty seconds, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. Apparently the market as a whole is skeptical as well that Decred is "bitcoin upgraded" considering it's price versus BTC has dropped by over 50% in the last six months. 

I just don't think the market as a whole considers any "governance" structure as better, whether it's the eth benevolent dictator model, Monero's technocratic approach, Decred richest holders decide, or anything else. Yes, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent, but I think the market tends towards the best choice, and looking at a time period of 3-5 years now that choice is clearly bitcoin.

True enough, historically! I expect sentiments will shift after Politeia's value is demonstrated a few times over sufficiently 'difficult' or 'controversial' decisions need to be made. Plus, once the Treasury (dev fund) is truly decentralized, and solely ticket holders have the power of releasing those funds, well that will be something special I think. IMO, the self-sustaining feature on this SoV coin will prove itself to be highly-valuable in the years to come.

"dev fund" a.k.a. defense lawyers kids trust fund $$$    reeeee

"coinbase" and "privacy" do not belong in the same sentence!    you guys cozy up to the financial police obviously not a privacy loving group. "premine is safu in coinbase"?lol

LOL the fudders decided to make a coordinated attack.
As has been said a thousand times before, but gembitz e jwinterm ignore, the premine was distributed via airdrop to the community and the other half was not for "the developers" but for the "development fund", which is also used to pay marketing, designers, events, etc.

About the vote, you must also have more than 60% of your total votes for your proposal to be validated.
You may have the most votes "yes", but if many of the other people clicked "no" on your proposal, you will need more votes to reach 60% of the total (yes+no).

Please don't do that. Taking the easy way out of the debate by shouting "FUD". Remember, that in Decred, changes/new features that were voted, and hard forked in the network, cannot simply be changed back to the state it was in before.

I believe when Decred becomes large enough, it will also go through the same problems that Bitcoin did, like the "scaling debate".

Anyone else have a reply? Please post them. I'm really starting to believe that "blockchain governance" of any form might not be the solution we thought it that it might be.

@gembitz, Are you lost your money and cry on this topic? Stop please, anyway I just agnore you

Guys, How is privacy influence on regulation from the side exchanges and AML, FAFT? Can decred faces with some problems, what your think about that?

I think it will not have much if any impact as it is an optional feature. With cash I can privately hand you a $10 bill, or send you $10 from my bank for all to see.

There could be some problems with trading DCR in certain jurisdictions, I suppose. Although the ability to make private transactions would appeal to some users.

Korea now prohibits its exchanges from trading cryptocurrencies with private transactions. And I think regulators will more and more prohibit this from happening. They want to control everything.

The future is DEX.
Crypto was created to be p2p, decentralized and without government interference

It's under development, I'm not following this but you can go on matrix and ask it to a DEV

Do the devs show up in the Telegram group as well?

I don't use telegram, but as far as I know the devs usually participate more on matrix.
There are channels to track the development of everything, Politeia, Privacy, DEX ...
Slack is connected to matrix, but has been set aside as there is a limit on messages and the past is deleted from time to time.

Decred just dropped under 0.002 BTC :/

Think that's an all time low on the ratio. If they're building a better bitcoin it certainly doesn't appear that the market agrees with them.
