every month i write down the amount of decred staked, last month my gain was 6,5% this month it's going to be more than 7,5% obviously if you buy tickets at 60 DCR your chance of winning diminish, it's a lottery system more ticket you buy higher are your chance.

Is there a windows wallet where I can stake without messing around with command lines? I'm too lazy for that.
I have around 4k DCR on polo that are still waiting for a pump. 
If there is an easy way to stake I would try it. Taking profit later at half price sounds interesting hehe

Thanks. Will try it

I suggest you to wait for better ticket price, last lowest was yesterday (26.42Dcr) and before that 25.8 (19.50Dcr)

And here it is, the best price =)

Or spread his coins around to make it less obvious.  Wish I had a screenshot.  Either he is a fucking idiot, or we are going full retard.  You pick.

Did you not understand?  "You pick"  The point is, some big money is in DCR.  The fundamentals look awesome.  The chart looks awesome.

No I don't understand your reasoning for the first of those two options - "Either he is a fucking idiot, or we are going full retard." 

And it wasn't 100k USD, more like 70k.

Pretty sure that was a sarcasm. Like you said, there's no reason for him being an idiot. So it was us who are being retarded.

Ok, thanks for the help!

When the price dipped to ~16 dcr for a ticket, I bought a number of them, but they aren't showing up as "live" tickets on dcrstats.  I'm wondering, maybe they weren't associated with the pool for some reason?  Is there a way to tell if I have tickets that aren't in pool's controls, so I know if I need to keep my wallet up for staking?  This is what stakeinfo gave me:

Code:

{
  "blockheight": 62338,
  "poolsize": 41584,
  "difficulty": 16.13530245,

  "missed": 2,
  "proportionmissed": 0.046511627906976744,
  "revoked": 2
}

I left my wallet on to buy those cheap tickets, and I saw a number of tickets bought when I browsed through the cmd window the next morning when I looked, but I was expecting to see them show up on dcrstats as live tickets!


Edit:
Well, my balance is now up a couple hundred, so apparently I didn't actually buy any tickets, or if I did, there was some error and my account got refunded the price.  Do I need to import the redeem script given to me by dcrstats each time before I buy tickets?

At our current value.  These coins were acquired at a higher price Before we were added to polo.

When you're buying tickets, thinks work much the same way as with any other transaction, but with the extra nuance that each block allows at most, 20 new tickets to be bought/mined. Until your ticket purchase is mined, it's as if it never happened. If you were trying to buy during a period where ticket prices were quite low (as it was the case), then most likely, you just had your fees too low to get a good enough position in the queue. Folks with their ticket fees set higher, will have bought all the available slots during that price period, as miners will pick their ticket buys 1st.

When your tickets get mined (at least one confirmation), they'll move from ownmempooltix, into immature, and given enough confirmations, they finally move to live. If they don't get mined until the next ticket price swing, then the transaction is dropped from the mempool and your balance is returned (minor txfees).

There are cases where you might successfully buy tickets, yet they will not be showing up on the pool, notably, this will happen if you set your pool fees incorrectly (too low). In that case, the pool will not vote for you, unless the pool admin is notified and takes some manual intervention. In such instances however, you'd see your immature/live tickets going up, and your balance would only be returned after voting.

Cheers.

Hey thanks for the very excellent description and information.  I have such a better understanding of how tickets work now!  One last question then: ()
1.) How can I view what my current fees are set at?
2.) How can I adjust the fee amount?
3.) Does the fee work like a threshold value or an exact value? (e.g. if current typical fee amount is 1, and I have my fee set to 5, will I pay 1 or 5 as the fee)

Thanks again for the help!

Welcome IncludeBeer,

For ticket fees using the command line, wallet command:
getticketfee / setticketfee

The value you enter to setticketfee is per KB. So the absolute amount in DCR that you pay as ticketfee will vary according to the actual transaction size (which in turn varies depending on the number of inputs & outputs used).

For example:
https://mainnet.decred.org/tx/b12b14c10bff51b89194be57ddbdfc558f406fc84937c3ab82e57d50cf6b52c6
This ticket purchase (just a random pick off recent blocks), shows a ticketfee of ~0.101 DCR per KB, while in effect, the absolute fee amount paid was 0.03 DCR.

There's also a txfee, though the default value there should not cause you any trouble, and finally a poolfee, which you include in your ticket purchase command or wallet configuration (you will have certainly seen the instructions on the pool regarding this one).

Loosely related side note & advert:
Folks, please be mindful of not all picking the pools with the most users/tickets. A widely distributed ticket network, is a healthy ticket network. Kindly consider signing up with the stakepool on my signature, or any one of the (even) smaller ones.
Note also that pool size (in number of tickets) is perfectly irrelevant towards your chances of staking/voting. The pool is simply voting on your behalf so that you don't need to keep a wallet up at all times.
