why all this big dump, are the pos miners dumping their amount? i want to ask also another thing, were is the dev address with his 800k coins, i want to know if he dumped something or not after the last pump, because the value tanked so much, and another question i noticed that the reward per ticket for the pos, is going down, is this going to zero in the end?

Hi, noob question here. I previously bought a few tickets with success and earned some subsidy but now the wallet says I have insufficient funds to buy a ticket while I have enough spendable DCR in my wallet. Any idea what I might be doing wrong/is going on?

I would think if it says spendable, then you should be able to buy tickets. Try closing and restarting your wallet as it sometimes needs this to refresh. Also it takes 256 blocks (~1 day) for your stake reward to be returned and spendable.

Why are we pumping again!!! I was really waiting for a lower floor to buy back into! 

fake buyer fake pump 

lol sure if you say so. Market sure doesn't look like a fake pump! Check my history here, I've been mining and staking decred since literally genesis block.

Believe me, I won't be sad at all if we can make it back to ~$20!

buy tickets by 36

I like these lower dips, but of course it brings back so much competition, driving the fees to crazy high prices. Honestly, I preferred the first half of March, when the PoS difficulty was relatively even.

Thanks, I guess although it says my DCR are spendable it needs more blocks to pass before I can buy tickets again. It now says need expiry beyond next height....

I am facing similar problems regarding stake mining / ticket purchase:

It worked quite fine for me during the last few weeks but recently two strange things keep happening:

1. I have the funds (108 DCR) to buy 3x tickets @ 33,12 DCR (it shows as "spendable" in my account). But when I try to buy 3 tickets I get an error "insufficent funds". Even for two tickets I seem to not have enough. I can only buy one. Why is that?!

2. Often I buy a ticket and and a few hours later the DCR I "spend" to buy the ticket are back in my account and I don't have a mining ticket.

Thanks for any help.

What ticket fee did you specify? You want to stake with a fee close to the average

I always look at the minimum fee and set mine a little higher than that.

1. After a ticket is voted and you get your Decred back + the POS reward, the coins are blocked by 256 blocks (~ 20 hours). There is a bug that will be fixed in the next release that shows these coins as spendable before they are.

2. Unfortunately the fee you offered wasn't enough to win the "ticket auction". Your offer was accepted, your coins went to mempool, waiting for your offer be bigger to take the tickets, which didn't happen. By that they returned.
In the "Expiry blocks" field you enter by how many blocks you want your bid to compete. Comes with 16. I recommend that you put the total number of blocks for the round to end. Your chances are higher with a lower fee.
To know how many blocks to finish the round just look at "Blocks until retarget"

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.

One more question about fees: Let's say the avg. fee (https://dcrstats.com/) is 0.5 DCR. I read that a ticket->pool uses 0.5 KB, so should I use 1.0 DCR as fee to compete with the avg? That seems very high.
Also https://dcrstats.com/ right now shows 0 DCR as average fee, is this correct or is it just not updated yet?

Those fees are reported on a per kb basis... so if the minimum fee is .2... you set your fee to .21 and will pay .21 * .5 dcr.

Of course, those average and minimum fees are on the previous block. In most cases you can assume that the next block will have very similar values but there is no guarantee.

When dcrstats reports 0 fees its because the ticket price is so high that no tickets are purchased. People just wait for a better price.

Also, if you don't know, pool ticket transactions are bigger than solo ones. Solo are about 300 bytes each compared to 500 from pool.
So if you are purchasing solo, multiply the fee by 0.3

As far as I know, yes.  But remember, these milestones on github are soft dates.  This is the goal.
