I spent all day on testnet, make a personal step by step to get ready and fast at mainnet launch to create wallet,invested in rig, to solo mine on first minutes without pool like ETEHEREUM, an now everything will be ready 24 hours before? So, who bought gpu only for solo mine decred at launch for some minutes are completely cutted off, since all you can do is rent rig or mine at pool.

Now, solo mining chance for those ones who own private home rig or have bought rig only for decred are near to 0% to since launch rules have changed.

A normal launch was better, cause only real interested people got chance to mine for first (those ones who have studied testnet,setted up optimal cgminer settings,etc etc).
Now everyone got 24 hours time to slowly set-up everything. Than just push ONE button and strat to mine.


However, good luck. I'm waiting for release.

It was much better a regular launch instead of a "planned 24 hours launch".

Thank you for being candid and honest about how you feel. The first part of the issue is more about consistent returns. Solo mining is very binary - you either get nothing or a lot. In a pool, you get a little bit for every block the pool finds. Typically and over time, this increases your earnings as a miner. This is also proportional to the hash power you provide to the pool. The second part of the issue is that once the network hash power is sufficiently higher than your available hash power, the chances of you solo finding a block effectively go to 0. So getting a small piece of every block the pool finds is better than 0 - given that it's proportional to your hash power.

Thanks for your answers.
Decred team and dev are doing a great work.

Hey everyone, mainnet launch date is 12:00 PM CST February 8th, 2016. Some extra information here. This will mean extra work completed on PoW pools and a simple PoS pool on launch. Hopefully now everyone can make their arrangements for the big day!

Awww what a pity... And I wanted to ninja launch a pool right after launch..

The major problem is broken cgminer, hope they are capable to fix it within 8 days. So nothing bad happened.

12:00 PM CST February 8th, 2016 , it's Chinese Spring  Festival, that's not fair to chinese, could it be much earlier.

Thank you for the info! The launch is a bit later than i hoped (about a week to go now) but at least we have a official date now. I really hope there are no more big issues to solve so we can get this party on the way.
On the other hand it gives me a chance to buy some hashing for the launch as i am sure some miners will start selling hashing (hopefully on miningrigrentals also).
Releasing everything 1 day prior seems like a long enough time.

Sounds like tesnet has been a success so far which is good to here...

@_ingsoc Just popping your full post from the decred forum here as well...Guessing not everyone will click to read it over there.

Hello everyone,

Just a quick update to solidify a specific date and time for mainnet launch now that testnet has been live for a while. The original plan was to bring mainnet up on February 3rd, 2016, in the event that no serious bugs were discovered during the week of testnet. However, operation of testnet and feedback from users have made it clear that the network will benefit greatly from two distinct factors that require completion or work prior to the launch of mainnet. These are:
PoW pools - the project is currently assisting developers who are working on pools for PoW mining
PoS pools - the project will complete and release a basic stake pool for those interested in PoS mining
As such, the specific date and time scheduled for mainnet launch is 12:00 PM CST February 8th, 2016. The software will be made free and open-source at 12:00 PM CST February 7th, 2016 - one full day prior to the launch of mainnet. Hopefully progress on these factors will afford everyone a little bit more time to become familiar with the software and make arrangements for the launch day!

As always, thank you to everyone for their hard work and effort in helping others along the way!

Sincerely,
Decred Project

Good to hear that the binaries will be made available the day before @12:00 PM CST February 7th, 2016 as well... Saves me waking up @4am my time to get everything sorted.

Oh, thanks for bringing these very important issues to light rizz, you bastard.

Thats quite alright anonymous _ingsoc, no problem.
Don't bother thanking me, or even acknowledging me.
Oh, you didn't.

So i'm on many ignore lists here, idiots.
See what can be acheived?
If only you ignorers knew how much PoS I just rightfully earned for you.

More to come.

Some idiots here believe that FUD is an acronym for complaining!
Let's separate FUD from constructive criticism.
Constructive criticism is needed. Thanks! And special thanks to Rizz!

Constructive criticism is very important to any type of collaborative work. The key here is collaboration - and it must be based in fact and reason. That is not an unreasonable standard. Once criticism becomes completely negative and mixed with personality issues (regardless of intent), any real kind of progress becomes impossible to attain.

The best position to take in that case is to focus on the work and get on with it. Even epic trolls will get responses, but there are severe limits to those responses if the situation does not improve. If the project got bogged down in all the attacks, everyone would still be waiting for the first announcement to come out. That's why there is a standard to uphold and to operate in that framework so work can get done and everyone can move forward together.

That's the reason why developers of any coin open their own forum. It is the only sure way to know that they will stop bothering.

rizzlarolla and scam confirmed are the same person.
The two profiles were created by the same IP, with few days between them.
He is a neucoin bagholder and i didnt understand yet what is his problem with decred.

Exactly,my syntax software tell me that rizzlaolla and scam comfirmed are indeed a 100% match and indeed the same person


Bitcointalk history shows they back each other up with fud where ever they go

If fact this sock puppet has evolved emotions!

I miss Rizz 

[scam confirmed]

Wrong.

Wrong.

True.

Worst insult ever...  If you've read our posts in the Neucoin thread, you know that neither I nor Rizz are bagholder of this shitcoin (NoKoin)... I already mentioned there that Decred looks way better than Neucoin "in (almost) every aspect"...

Here look you idiot!

This somewhat reminds me of NoKoin [but it looks waaaaaaay better in (almost) every aspect]...:

I am part of Decred community whether you like it or not. But being part of Decred community doesn't mean I give unconditional support...

The one thing I really dislike here is "minority exclusion", i.e. voting system 66% threshold as well as public appeals to ignore community members...

Care to show us your results? I am 100 % sure that you lie...

[davien]

It's funny how a topic for a coin turns into a "detective" topic lol

[Gothorum]

I very much like you to be part of the community @scam confirmed. If you do not like something or not done as you want say it with respect,if you do not it better shut up.

[poolmn]

We are interested in setting up a pool as well, is there any hashing module for this algo yet ?

[EmilioMann]

...you bastard!

...you idiot!

if you guys aren't the same person, then you must be husband and wife

Desperately searching for evidence, huh? Good luck, you idiot!

I'd like to not sort through pages full of senseless arguments whenever I check on this thread.

Thanks, guys.
