Signed up for Airdrop!

(i'm not a newbie, jus an old BTCtalk forum reader).

This project is exciting!

And i'm satoshi nakamoto, an old bitcoin lovers.
so, you're an old btctalk and never done an account until today? And first post was done to receive free coin?

sound legit.  

Suggest to devs to take care of tons of newbie accounts made only for the airdrop.

Signed up for Airdrop, watching

I never had an account for a reason...I do not have time to argue with strangers which as can be seen by your words, they already know everything.

BTW the Airdrop is public, and the decision to accept or not is from DEV.

I can easily understand you, @Blizzy, as this btcTalk forum is the home of the trolls (retarded kids). The worst place on the Internet, actually... I hardly ever feel like posting here... only if there's a really good reason.

I hope Decred succeeds and the community will have another forum, far away from this btcTalk.

We do have our own forum for decred at https://forum.decred.org/ although I think there has been some very good discussion in this thread as well (so not abandoning it for sure).

 i signed up for the airdrop too some days ago - it's great to see something new with actual real life backing.

     now if this new community can be as supportive i think there will be no limits

I want to clarify: the time between blocks of 5 minutes, the average block size in the first year, 25-23 coins?, about 105K units a year? This is the right calculations, I assumed that in the first year will produce around 4.7 million coins. That is, the financing of the project will be transferred to 470 thousand coins in the first year? (10%). Just want to understand everything before starting. It's very much like a full line of numbers bitcoin. Okay, the calculation roughly correct? Just earlier I was thinking that the blocks in the first year will be about 9-10 coins.

If you have a look at our previous post about the subsidy system

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1290358.msg13412287#msg13412287

you can see how this works out in detail.  For clarity, I'm reproducing the figures here:

• The per block subsidy starts at approximately 31.19 coins and decreases by a factor of 100/101 every 6,144 blocks, approximately 21.33 days assuming 5 minutes per block.
• The total number of coins by the end of year 1 is approximately 4.7M, with 1.68M coming from the premine and 3.02M coming from PoW, PoS and dev org subsidies.
• The dev org will get approximately 302K coins over the first year, most of which will be spent on an ongoing basis on development of the software.

Well, according to the parameters of the issue became much clearer, thank you.
About the mining program, it already is? (Radeon cards), and does not differ from the Blakecoin (BLC)?  Decred address already possible generate somewhere?

[gordob]

finally a serious project,  just signed for the airdrop

I'm also interested to see where this goes, signed up for the airdrop

It does differ from Blakecoin.  Blakecoin uses 8 round blake-256, which sacrifices an acceptable level of security for speed.

Decred will be using 14 round blake-256, which is overkill for security but still fast.

Both nvidia and ati cards seem to do pretty well with blake-256

I have signed up for the airdrop as offered by one of the devs (via pm).  Admittedly I am skeptical about this coin and the motives so I am running things in a vm sandbox for the time being.  Something that strikes my attention is the quote:  Community based governance - Based on the timeline of discussions that lead up to the development of this cryptocurrency, I have a suspicion that this coin's vote feature partially has the failed actions of the bitcoin foundation (BCF) to thank for creating that need (for a decentralized democratic-like mechanism to circumvent the shortcomings of the BCF).  I may or may not write about the coin in detail on honeybadgerofmoney.com, depending on what I learn about it.  I'll edit this post once I  get more time to read through the pages and can discuss the topic in more depth.  Thanks again for the invite!

And yet here you are, with a throwaway single-purpose account, begging for free shit.   

Sufficiently advanced thought leadership is indistinguishable from trolling.

[bitcoinsid]

hi, i like the concept and would like to be involved. 
ive created another thread http://metabtc.com/threads/decred-rethink-digital-currency.170/   
it may or may not be used but with past experience here i know that if the mods here get upset members end up getting banned for no reason.
ill be posting regular updates from the devs and relevent media links 
Also you get paid btc for leaving comments on metabtc

Is the choose of algorithm due to the availability of FPGA implementations of Blake256?

Someone pointed out on IRC that:

<Wolf`> blake256
<Wolf`> no point in GPU mining it
<Wolf`> FPGAs will be on it from launch minute

And then I found this github repo:
https://github.com/kramble/FPGA-Blakecoin-Miner

Just curious if it's even worth setting up gpus to mine or it's probably not even worth it...

There isn't a publicly available FPGA port for 14 round blake-256.  

It's absolutely worth setting up GPUs because that's what everyone else will be mining with.  Most people don't have FPGAs anyway..

FPGAs don't give a huge hashrate advantage for blake-256.  It's more of an efficiency thing.

I think we've all felt like this at one point or another. You can sign up at the Decred forum if that looks more appealing. The key is to remember if there's constructive discourse happening somewhere, it will be addressed and included, no matter where it occurs.

[Ch3wbacca]

I just got introduced in Bitcoin, can new members join this campaign?

Of course you can! Decred is about including people who care about contribution and want to participate in that process. You can sign up for the airdrop on the main website. Or, if you don't have an online presence, you can contact me on the forum, but be sure to give a little backstory and what your proposed contributions are to the project, so that it's possible to pinpoint your interest. My personal goal is to find groups to connect everyone to, so that clear areas of contribution emerge in the community.

PMed you on bitcointalk. I would have done it on the forum, but i wanted to maintain my identity here on Bitcointalk.

I'll sign up for the airdrop once you deem me worthy

i confirm, my nVidia GTX 750Ti have 580MH/s for blake256 14rounds with "ccminer 1.5.78" and GTX 960 have 930MH/s you can try it on Saffroncoin, he used blake256 14rounds algo.

which pool are you using for the testing? ...

and what settings are you using on the commandline? ...

this looks like ccminer-spmod78 - correct? ...
