[ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network

[IncludeBeer]

I thought version 1.0 should have fixed the swinging ticket prices? Did I read wrong? since prices are still going all over the place

It has been corrected, but run only when a vote is over:
https://voting.decred.org/

This is essence of Decred. Voting deciding instead of hard forks.

Huh im a bit confused now I thought we can vote on new proposals that automaticly could execute a hardfork? I thought latest update was a fix for things like the balance issue paymetheus had and the swinging ticket price, but maybe I dont remember correctly. Not complaining about the ticket price but everyone (including myself) only buys when its like 40dcr a ticket.

You've got half of it! Yes, 1.0 gives us ability to use tickets for voting on proposals, but not the algo fix. One of the first 2 proposals we're currently voting on is ticket price algo update. If (when) that passes, then we'll see the update roll out.

I suggest bookmarking this gem: https://voting.decred.org/

Also, https://dcrstats.com/ has nice charts at bottom of page for voting proposals.

Solo staking tip!
I tried staking with the default config for the last couple weeks, but never got any tickets using the auto buyer.  After some tuning, I did get it to start winning ticket auctions. Here's what I changed:

; the ticket prices swings up and down by 2 or 3 times, so the default 1.25 prevents you from bidding
ticketbuyer.maxpricerelative=5

; when ticket prices are low, the fees are higher than the default config max
; so pick something higher than 0.1, but not much higher (0.2 is good but still often too low to win any auctions)
ticketbuyer.maxfee=0.34478

; avoid buying tickets when the prices are too high
ticketbuyer.maxpriceabsolute=50

There's alot more to consider, and I think the staking guide could use alot of improvement. I've only just gotten started so I'm sure others have better suggestions.  Otherwise pool staking is more reliable at this point.

Luckily this should get easier once the vote completes and the new stake difficulty is implemented.

Ya I was thinking the same. New algo should eliminate those peaks and dips in difficulty, making the variance from period to period much less.

I've searched a bit but didn't find any decred faucets (nothing on OP). I want to test it a bit and get used to it. Is there any faucets where I can get a bit of free DCR?

That was great! roasbeef is seriously one of the smartest devs in the crypto space. Seeing his perspective on the intricacies of LN and what it means for DCR was super useful to learn about. Witnessing cross-project collaborative efforts to push the ecosystem forward is deeply satisfying. Congrats to dbt1033 and Ty13rDerden on another informative show!

It's nice to see you on this thread again _ingsoc. It feels like things have come full circle.

Huobi released its coin ranking list and underlying model. They'll list new coins according to the ranking in future!

If we take out the first 3 that are already on the exchange, Decred is on seventh place!

I'm sure we will rise on that ranking in the next months

Thanks! All of my prior commitments have been taken care of, so I'm here for good now.

Considering that all of the coins that ranked above DCR using Huobi's model have been around for quite a while longer (with the exception of Zcash), that's not a half bad outcome in my view - even if you disagree with the evaluation methodology. It's good to know there's awareness and that they're taking interest in the effort the devs and the community are putting into the project!

I'm surprised they gave tech a 1.25 considering the competition scores.
But it's just like you said, the awareness is what matters. Glad to see the project make it in their top 10.
