What is going on with Bittrex.
Decred Wallet OFFLINE?

Looks like bittrex is doing the maintenance of Decred's wallet.
It will not be long, some hours ahead.

Great project folks! Just one comment

For the love of God, please do not make me type in my seed manually when upgrading wallets and importing data.

Wasting consciousness and eye strain on that when pasting it is fine (really, it is) is not a good user experience.

Upgrading wallet version does not demand a reseed.

Upgrading wallet version does not demand a reseed.

Well it just did, so...

Import wallet -> "type in your seed" and "confirm your password", then it starts syncing.

Decred is a project that will soon appear at its best. The coin is very undervalued. Soon we will see new results.

We are a believer of Super and offchain as the key to range cryptocurrencies. The very first coin to accomplish will a lot reward the investors for me.

AMA: Friendly reminder that Jake-Yocom Piatt, Project Lead of Decred, will begin answering questions about the 2018 Decred Roadmap soon (on Reddit)! Link to the thread:

 https://www.reddit.com/r/decred/comments/83x9rj/2018_roadmap_ama_with_decred_project_lead_jake/

So many news and events this year, looking at the road map, we should see a strong increase, is not it? I see the enormous potential of Decred.

I think the price will really surprise. A coin created by the community and enjoying the support of the community. Very serious development plans and great success in case of full implementation. I believe in success, but with a cold head!

Hey all I need some clarification on the staking system. I was under the impression that if your ticket doesn't stake after 4 months, you get the funds back. I put in for a ticket on Nov 20, but nothing has happened as of yet. How much more longer until it either stakes or funds are released?  Again, I thought the timeline was 4 months but now I think I got that part twisted

I have some DCR even 1 year ago I bought it in poloniex.
I hold it because I am stuck at a very high price 0.017 BTC / 1 DCR , how long will the storm be over ?

Atm ASIC's are taking over the mining. For me I make HUGE profit and can only sell at this very high miner reward. It makes no sense to hold decred these days.

You have some really bad luck here mate sorry to hear that. Chances that you ticket isnt picked in 4 months is very small but it will happen very occasionally. If you have only 1 ticket its even more frustrating I can imagine. I believe if your ticket isnt picked after 6 months you get your funds back. In practice, this will almost never happen but you can get unlucky like in your case. Hope your ticket is picked very soon, I dont think anything can be done in the meantime but maybe someone who knows more about it can add some info.

sorry thought by head 6 months but appears to be shorter than that, as mentioned below my post

I think it is 142 days, so you are getting close.

Are you our new trol ? You don't have a asic mining dcr. You obviously dont like that dcr is getting asics and when you didnt get your way you decided to bash the project. If you had an asic you won't be talking dcr down since you still have to mine in the future with the most potential profit.

I understand the feeling, many people are against asics for good reasons. Look at the centralisation of mining power in btc for example. But I think its unjustified in case of decred. Since here the users are in control and not the miners. Miners in decred are just for the security as they supposed to be and not decision making, that is done by the community.

Moreoveris afaik its pretty easy to develop asics for the blake algo dcr is using. Which means that if its not done out in the open with competition some private company could be able to do it and mine dcr in secrecy which will centralize mining way more then when its done out in the open like this. Or much worse when they would have malicious intentions.

Maybe it will increase some selling pressure in the beginning but it will be worth it cause in the end we'll have the best of both worlds. We have solid mining security which is needed as stated above without giving them the power like in bitcoin. The power stays with the community like it should be, the users of the project.

Thank you for your quick response, I appreciate it! And don't worry it wasn't my only ticket (well it is right now) I have had 5 tickets in the past vote. It is unfortunate but I knew the chances going into it .

Ah kk then it means ~14 more days at maximum cool stuff. If I waited 4 months I can wait another 2 weeks, thanks for providing that knowledge!

So to stake DCR I need to lock my coins for 142 days? And even after that I could be prohibited to stake and release of my investment?

I didn't know DCR can be staked, but this scheme looks weird to me. What is the interest of staking DCR? Thanks

Yes, you buy tickets, thus staking your coins. The average ticket hits the reward in 28 days, but if your ticket is one of the unlucky .5% to not win a reward your ticket is released after 142 days and your coins are again spendable by you. The current ticket now costs around 87 DCR.

thanks for your suggestion, maybe I should cutloss just this time.
of accumulated BTC indeed I suffered huge losses.
but if the accumulation in the form of dollars I still profit because the BTC price is very expensive.

Decred remains strong inside stormy weather. Wherever most of the money price tend to be dropping, Great project!
