New miner binaries now available! Updated the OP text to reflect the release. Big thanks to Epsylon3 and Wolf0 who completed RFP-5 milestones that made this release possible! More information in the announcement.

Do we have any ETA on a GUI wallet yet?  Also any news on Poloniex add?  I've personally filled in the request form and suggest anyone else on here who is interested in DCR does the same https://poloniex.com/coinRequest - if you don't want to click the link just go to the support section a the bottom of the page and click on the FAQ section to get there yourself.

I can not understand
Why stupid people did not wait to buy ticket at fair price of 8 to 10 Dcr
And they buy ticket at more high price

Are you stypidfdddd

People probably just opened their wallet with a bat file that automatically purchases tickets and set the max price high or not at all. Not everyone loves this command line terminal and so they take all of the shortcuts they can. The fact that they have figured out how to stake at all, probably indicates that their intelligence is at least 1 standard deviation above the mean. So I wouldn't exactly say they are

stypidfdddd.

Wow.. Huge thank you! I'll check after 24 hrs but after an hour it looks like I got a 5-10% increase in hashrate and a 100% reduction in rejects.  My rejects were around 1% on pool.mn. I haven't had a reject in an hour.

The new miner works flawless for me, too!

I am really happy to see progress in the development of decred. Developers went from alpha to beta status with their latest release of the decred software. There is an awesome progress and it`s a pleasure to see the RFP development starting so early, also talented and motivated people can help making it a success. I came to this forum to see discussions of the people about the decred coin for the first time today and i am wondering why a lot of people are so uneasy about the actual state of the software.

Decred is on mainnet, but the software is still in beta status. A lot of changes happening right now, developers have a huge output on a daily basis, simultaneously they pay community members for developing on the RFP programs, which is awesome and speed up the progress. There will be great features coming up!

First stakepools operating on mainnet, stakepool software currently gets his finish up, i feel stakepools are pretty close and will arrive very soon for the public.

Hybridizing PoW and PoS brings a whole new concept and is definitely a game changer! No more 51% problem, real governance possible trough votings by the stakeholders!

If anyone is telling that transactions are slow,  then you ain`t transfered some decreds yet my friend! Sadly a lot of the discussions in here are just about polo or bittrex, gui wallet and why the price is not the same as yesterday. A lot of big mouth talk, speculations and philosophize. Most sadly some people also try to manipulate peoples stance by lying and wrong predictions on purpose, just for their own advantages.

It`s a new concept working with 3 binarys only in Cli, so the software is not widespread. This is reflected by the demand on the exchanges of course. Most people just have to wait until the GUi is there and stuff is idiot proof. Right now it is for early adaptors! But if you feel decred is dead before it started, than my friend, you did not understand the innovation, motivation, uniqueness and concept behind decred or you just a bad lobbyist who is obvious like cutlet in aspic.

stupid like concert people ? :p or iphone buyers ? :p

[restless]

weird thing with new miner versions

ccminer works fine.
cgminer won't connect to stratum ports of pool.mn and suprnova :S

cgminer still not supporting stratum?!

[Epsylon3]

nope, only sgminer does

Well, if they got the batch files from someplace and did not even care to change the parameters they are not exactly smart either.

If the had no max price ( 0 ) then they could only buy tickets manually which is probably the best thing to do.

I cannot understand how anyone at all buys tickets at 50 price.

Well, ask yourself, why samples are with high-price tickets

What is your hashrate?

I guess nobody wants to discuss the business case for Decred ? People seem to be stuck on technical stuff. The mining is working fine but you don't even get a dollar per card per day. I'm just wondering what others base their belief that its going to take of on ?

If anyone is interested in helping the software improve, please share the RPC commands you most frequently use. I just made a post on the forum requesting this information, and to quote from the post:

TLDR: Please post commands you use so that testing can improve and a new RFP can be released to develop exhaustive behavioural tests of the software.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as it will have direct impact.

I don't see that a particular business case is needed. People have long debated what the business case for Bitcoin is, and the jury is not out on that one yet... What is most distinguishing with Decred, is in effect the technical stuff.

Once the comprehensive voting infrastructure is built (beyond voting on PoW), development funding and direction is effectively decentralized. This is unique and truly powerful, especially on a platform that is largely similar to Bitcoin but with a lot of technical improvements to begin with. But since you don't seem to care much about the technical stuff, I don't expect any of this to resonate...

Note: I do believe that a particular business case is sometimes useful and valuable, however I don't think that one is always fundamentally required. If you look at the majority of the popular altcoins (say for example a top50, by what I suppose most people would define as popular, some sort of combination of market cap along with sustained trade volume), you'll find that business cases are largely absent, barring a couple of exceptions.
