Too bad they made it so confussing to buy tickets, with fee's etc. Going to try to figure out how to buy them after the new release.
Cause i need to vote for LN
It really isn't that hard.
Assuming you have the cli wallet running
First, unlock wallet:
dcrctl -u <USER> -P <PASSWORD> --wallet walletpassphrase "YOUR PASSPHRASE HERE" 0
Check current price and other info:
dcrctl -u <USER> -P <PASSWORD> --wallet getstakeinfo
Check available balance:
dcrctl -u <USER> -P <PASSWORD> --wallet getbalance default
Set ticket fee if you don't want to pay the default:
dcrctl -u <USER> -P <PASSWORD> --wallet setticketfee <FEE>
In solo mining ticket transactions, each transaction is about 300 bytes. The fee is per kb so the amount you pay is about 30% of the fee you set above.
And finally:
dcrctl -u <USER> -P <PASSWORD> --wallet purchaseticket "default" <MAX_TICKET_PRICE_YOU_WANT_TO_PAY> 1 <YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS>
After that, and until the ticket is included in a block, your balance will look wrong. Don't worry
