Only 2 millions of supply... The upside will be epic.

Btw, glad to see dbt still holding Quatloo, as me.

Unfortunately.... LOL

Generally speaking, being fast is rather pointless. What you need, is to adjust your ticket fees, so that they are priced competitively. With default (aka: low) ticket fees, you'll get beaten by other folks that setup for very high fees during the ticket price dips.

There's a utility on the recent release that can do a lot of ticket/fee intelligence, so that you can get your tickets in, without having to go crazy high on fees. I'm still just doing it the manual way, and no trouble here 

Thanks for the info

This is the command I use to buy tickets
dcrctl -u [user] -P [password] --wallet purchaseticket "default" [price rounded up to nearest int] 1 [my wallet address]

What should I add to control for fees and what fees should I pay. I only buy tickets when price is cheap btw

Very simply put, you need to use the wallet "setticketfee" command, and set a fee that gives your tickets enough priority to get mined on time.

When you are about to buy tickets, you can look at recent blocks on the official explorer, click on a ticket purchase transaction, and the details there will show you what was the per KB ticket fee on that one. If you look at a few such tickets, you'll get a good sense of what your fee needs to be set at.
Hint: You need to find the fees per KB, not the actual fee amount that the transaction paid. When you do "setticketfee", you are setting fees per KB also, the actual fee value per transaction will vary (depending on inputs/outputs, etc).

There is also an expiry parameter that you can use with purchaseticket, but I don't recall if that only works when you are buying tickets for pool staking. The expiry parameter is quite useful, in that it sets your purchase attempts to automatically cancel themselves out, if not mined within a target number of blocks.
So with that, you can try to buy with ticket fee set at some value and set a short expiration. If the tickets do not get mined/confirmed before they expire, then you can increase the fee a little, and try again. And so on.

Note that buying tickets slightly more expensive, usually makes things much easier and you end up saving on fees, 'cos there's much less competition.

I use this:

dcrctl -u [user] -P [password] --wallet setticketfee <fee amount>

The fee you use is up to you

Thanks for the cheap DCR on Polo.... fkn noobs when will you learn?

noobs will cry , next month price can be like eth price 

Please try to be a bit more sophisticated with your delusionally optimistic comments that are intended to get people to buy this coin.  Most people can see right through what your intent is.  Yours and the many others who have done similar things in the past in this thread.

DCR isn't going to be $20 a coin next month, looooooooooooooooooooool.  I'd not only bet by money, I'd bet my life on it and sleep like a baby...

DCR has shown remarkable stability with it's USD price.  It is a good buy here.  Yeah $20 next month is delusional, but over a period of time, who knows what we will achieve together?

You know what?  Fuk it.  I'm just going to neg you bc I can.  I'm a little sick of your weak ass attempts to troll this thread.  

(If you go away, I wipe your slate clean )

I'm not trolling this thread, I just don't believe that DCR will be what other people are saying it will be with their wild claims.  And negging me for sharing my perspective, that would be very mature of you.....

Also I don't respond to bullying tactics, you can bet I would neg you right back.

You do realize a forum exists so that everyone can express themselves, whatever their beliefs may be right? This isn't a only post in this thread if you're a 100% supporter of DCR thread.  I see my viewpoint as realistic and is as equally valid as the tons of people saying ridiculous things like "BUY NOW, DCR WILL BE 3X WHAT IT'S WORTH RIGHT NOW NEXT WEEK, YOU CAN'T LOSE MONEY!!!!!1111!!!"  That's just irresponsible and those are the people who should be getting attacked.

Yes you have, from day one.  Check your grammar; you sound ignorant.

What determines whether I succeed in buying a ticket or not?

When the price was 17.53 yesterday, I manually tried to purchase a ticket within the first 5 minutes.

The coins got committed but after the price changed, 12 hours later, they just returned to me instead of a ticket.

Is it pure luck and trying to be fast does not help?

There's a utility on the recent release that can do a lot of ticket/fee intelligence, so that you can get your tickets in, without having to go crazy high on fees. I'm still just doing it the manual way, and no trouble here  

can we get that implemented in the pool? with like an opt-in checkbox

[dbt1033]

Do I see iceberg orders on polo?   

[craslovell]

Nice to see some upward movement for Decred. It's about time a rebound occurs, should be twice the price or more 

[MadCow]

[jelin1984]

Hey @proletariat,

It's implicitly a client-side application, in that whole purpose for the utility, is to give all users a sophisticated ticket buying application, and this is something that only the users can do, never the pool (as the pool does not control any actual user funds). It does integrate with pool staking, in that you can just use the utility to make your ticket buying more competitive, and still have the pool voting for you.

The utility is called dcrticketbuyer, and it's included with the last couple of releases.
https://github.com/decred/decred-release/releases

Some usage info here, though there was some forum post that I don't recall now:
https://github.com/decred/dcrticketbuyer

Setting up might be a bit tricky/complicated, but once that's done, it should be easy as pie, and much more convenient than manual purchases. Like I said, I haven't tried this myself yet.

Cheers!

Is there any calculation what is the cost of mining DCR if the electricity costs 12 cents?
