where can i check for the dev address with the huge premine of 800k decred? is this amount still there? i don't want to get another "vitalik dumping because he deserve it bullshit"

You seem to be another one of those dumbs who speak badly of a 4% premine of the total coins, but don't stop to put millions of dollars on any ICO scam that appears.

You also seems to be one of those who see no problem in the instamine of millions of dash or in the billionaire instamine that Satoshi Nakamoto did on bitcoin before abandoning the coin and ran when the first security problems appeared on btc.

About the 840k premined coins, a lot of was used to pay for the work of third parties from the community, contracted in a clear way when decred wasn't worth much and it took thousands dcr to pay for a designer or other professional, only the left over of it was divided among several devs from company 0.

The main and most difficult feature to be implemented, is already working perfectly, which is hardfork voting, with the decision taken by the community being implemented automatically in blockchain.

The Lightning Network is just being implemented in litecoin and other currencies through bitcoin suite developed by Decred devs.

I'm sure no dev will dump all his coins because they are also needed so they have power in decision-making.

Hundreds of thousands of coins have also been distributed free on the airdrop for thousands of people around the world.

Dual mining gives a lot of hashrate to decred network, but mine and hodl with nvidia gpus not a bad strategy

I've been wondering (and searching everywhere) for a while. Maybe somebody can answer this one for me:
Is it possible to purchase partial tickets? I mean, if a user has for instance 20 or 30 Decred, it is not possible to purchase an entire ticket (using Paymetheus and staking pool).

No the full ticket price is required. Part of the reason for this is that each ticket has a vote, and I am not sure how they would do that as the voting is built into the protocol.

I think it would be interesting to have some kind of leasing construction (as with waves) where smaller Decred holders can lease to jointly buy tickets. This way the large number of small holders are also stimulated and rewarded to keep Decred in the wallet.

Hi, is there a telegram group with more than 7 members?
If not, it would be nice to have one...

Cheers.

Guys, have you tried dcrstats Evolution? Am I understanding it right that even if someone does not have enough DCR to buy a ticket it is possible to stake DCR with this service?
Any experiences?

No, that's not correct. Evolution simply automates the buy process for you, either by custom strategy you set, or by default strategy of the pool. If you have DCR deposited to your Evolution account, but its not enough to buy a ticket, that DCR will not be staking. Once enough DCR is available in the account though, the service will automatically buy tickets and stake them for you.

Thanks for clarifying. At first glance I thought that somehow it could do that they can stake the the rmaining unstaked coins of users and small users coins by adding them pool like, so by buying a ticket with multiple user's DCR. I was confused, beacuse I haven't heard of a live service like this yet.

Happy to shed light!  Evolution is a great service for those new to DCR (or simply don't want the bother of staking) imo.

What you described is an active request I've seen floating around though. However, implementing such a thing would absolutely be non-trivial, as a ticket doesn't just hold some reward.  A ticket is actually a very important functional vehicle for Decred: it allows holders to vote. You can see why this would be difficult: how do you fairly decide on a binary result (yes/no) given potentially non-equal input from multiple parties (those who "pooled" their funds so they could buy a ticket together)?  My thought: those type of tickets always abstain from voting. That's really sub-optimal though, since voting is such an important feature of Decred.

Your words were almost equivalent to what I was going to reply... Good man.

One idea would be to pool the funds of those with matched votes.
That would allow more capability for voting and staking and bring us closer to consensus without requiring much change to the present ticket system...

That said, I think such a proposal would have to be part of a 3rd party system, as I think the devs are pretty well taken at the moment.
Maybe Dcrstats would be interested... But pooling people's money can lead to a whole world of new risks/problems.

Is that the reason for the big rise recently?

Simple. More money coming in the ecosystem than leaving.

That's a nice solution, I like it. I agree though, 3rd party implementation of such a feature would be a huge mess! Already, Evolution needs to hold private keys of accounts in order to purchase voting tickets (which has its own risks/ potential problems). If something was to be implemented, I hope the base protocol is updated to accomodate. Cleaner and easier to maintain for the chain (since we'd likely want to vote on updates for the feature down the road!).

Just out of curiosity, what's the longest you had to wait for a ticket to mature?
I have five tickets right now and their blockheight is from 125000 to 129000 and no vote so far.

Can somebody tell me the max stake time until a ticket is returned? Thanks.

A ticket can be voted from 24 hours after the purchase to a maximum of 142 days.
About 50% of the tickets are voted within the first month.
80% within 2 months and only 20% after 2 months.
