I like this quote from the article:

Decred is well on its way to becoming the ultimate cryptocurrency. A self-funded coin with an outstanding development team, an unrivaled decentralized governance system and a community that is second to none. If we throw in instant low-cost transactions with LN integration and privacy enhancement on the roadmap – can anything surpass the greatness of Decred?

Thank you, Dcrstats! Already set my votes on Evolution page. So, I see that we have more than 98.3% votes for LN integration and 97.6% for Change PoS Staking Algorithm. That's really cool.

Just looked over DCP-0001 and voted yes.
Obviously yessed LN.

Fan-fucking-tastic job team. Keep it up.

[Stratagem]

Anyone have day and time for voting completion?

[bspus]

Since both votes started and will end at the same block, the different percentages of abstain votes makes me conclude that some people are knowingly abstaining on the LN vote (since the same people obviously voted for the stake algo change).

I can understand the people who abstain on both because they don't know/can't be bothered to vote in the first place but I wonder why someone would abstain on purpose on the LN vote.

Could it be they are trying to botch the vote by not reaching the critical mass of votes? What percentage minimum of non-abstaining votes is required for the voting to be valid? Which btw is a serious issue in itself. Since the progress of the voting is transparent, it can encourage this sort of strategic voting where abstaining can lead to the desired result easier that a no vote

Finally, what valid reasons are there for anyone to vote against such a feature? It's not like there is something else currently in the agenda competing for development resources.

Stupid question here:
Now I'm only storing some DCR on exchanges, currently I have no local wallet installed. If I install one and send the coins there can I vote, or do I need to put them into staking?

[MarSas]

Hannusolo, you need to purchase a ticket. If you do it solo, you need to run the wallet 24/7. If you do it through a pool, you can turn your computer off. Current ticket price is 168.91 DCR. It will fall back to 50-ish. Check out dcrstats.com

[hannusolo]

Thanks, so that means that to vote I have to chain down my coins for quite a while, but of course the retrurn is the extra DCR.

[MarSas]

True. It can happen in 257 or 40960 blocks.

[nrvasquez]

I have coins stuck in my wallet, I can't move them. The wallet is up to date on the latest block.

[Candsno8]

Any update on hardware wallet integration?

[GER_Nexus]

There's a pump going on atm.
Huge buy an hour ago.

Another great milestone for the project: 100000+ Downloads of the Decred software. http://decredible.com/2017/05/17/download-decred-software/

People still don't see the hidden potential behind Decred, better then XMR or DASH...

Decred is not a typical simply structure cryptocurrency. 

What is special about this currency?

[bubilas]

why somebody no vote for LN? i think many member don't know that can vote for all agendas in one ticket

The things that matter to me are:

Governance - Decred is the #1 governance coin. The end goal is to let this blockchain govern itself. If we don't like the dev team, we can kick them out. I think that says a lot about Jake and the team.
PoS/PoW Hybrid - Proper balance of PoS and PoW. They noticed the benefits to both and implemented it perfectly.
Professionalism - The documentation, approach, everything... Has been more professional than any other project I've seen.

Product before hype - This is one of the biggest things for me. The team's focus has been on perfecting the project, or at least making it really good, before hyping it up and marketing. For a lot of the investors, this has been frustrating, but I love it.
If you build it, they will come. I think that if you put out something good, it will sell itself... And the less this is advertised while in the early stages, the lower the value stays and the more we can potentially accumulate.

Many other reasons.
