Because Bitcoin is focused so much on preserving backward compatibility, there are certain updates we won't ever see included in Bitcoin without causing a fork. Interesting approach by @decredproject to avoid this by unifying the community through a PoW-PoS combo.

This is no guarantee. Sure the changes are voted but that doesn't make them unanimous. In theory there could always be a chain split.
It is very unlikely of course

Hi everyone, i've read that trezor has add support to decred recently.
Where can i find a guide that help me to transfer my decred on my trezor?

Thank you!

The decred code was written to make impossible a chain split.
When a hardfork voting happens the old blockchain "dies" instantly.
It's impossible for someone to take control and keep it alive as happened with ETH/ETC and BTC/BCH

watch me fork your coin what you are saying is impossible unless it's rigged and not even an open source project..errrr yeah :\

it is obvious that the coin can be cloned like any other, just copy and paste the code
The question was another.
It was about a split in blockchain as happened with eth / etc.
This is impossible in decred because the blockchain stops working without POS voting that will always be directed to only one chain.

directed by who? If we decide to fork we decide to fork...there shouldn't be some crypto-nazi dictating code..this is open source? :\hmm

This is interesting, although I admit I still don't understand how it is impossible to make a chainsplit even if it does indeed take more work than I assumed before.
But if you insist this is the case and the dev team agrees, I guess I'll take your word for it

Everything in Decred is voted on by the stake holders.

The developers write and test code for BOTH outcomes of the vote.  In the instance where a fork would occur, Decred's governance automatically selects the code based on the outcome of the vote by the stakeholders.

That's the important bit! Without being voted on, a chain split can literally not happen. The attacker would need to have so many tickets staked such that for every block in the split chain, they were assured their tickets would be called on to vote for the validity of their split chain. This is the power of the consensus model we have in Decred, and why it is prohibitive (impossible) for the chain to be split in an eth/etc manner.

why not we remove this silly voting thats controlled by the developers and their buddies themselves lol = total circle jerk

That makes it clearer. Thanks!

Sure thing. In case you don't know of it, check here for all Decred stats: https://dcrstats.com/ There you can see the number of PoS tickets that are live, the current cost of tickets, etc. It helps when modeling figures around how expensive such attacks would be.

How does everyone see dcr in 5 years?? More of a common payment method that is used in daily life in tiny increments, or more of a store of wealth currency that is rarely used, but extremely robust and stable as a store of wealth.

The technical content of DCR project is very good, it is worth the patience of investors to hold 2-3 years, I believe the return will be amazing.

[metallicelmo]

I have been holding Decred from day one. Still a very decent project and I like the fact that even though they don't do that much marketing, the coin is still doing really good I think

I don't know. If it is more accurate then to predict it is difficult enough for me. But one thing I know for sure - the price of buying is very tasty now. In the long-term, Decred will be one of the best offers on cryptomarket.

I'm looking at decredition and its "My Tickets" part. In my opinion you could move the tiles of the relative stages of the tickets reordering them in chronological order to make clear the stages of the "life" of the tickets purchased.

Looks like dcrd v1.3.0 is nearing completion, that’s a lot of closed pull requests, go dev team! https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pulls?page=1&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed
