Something I want to announce is that myself and @cryptokrill are in charge of one of the official Decred stake pools (there will only be a maximum of 10) which we will be launching shortly.
The TLDR is that the stake pool allows you to stake DCR without having your laptop/PC on 24/7 as Decred staking works more on a lottery type system where you buy tickets. Official stake pools are also required to run multiple voting servers which incurs a monthly cost.
The work that the Decred team has done to get the multisig cold staking, stake pools and stake pools with fees working is really impressive.
Most of the current stake pools have launched with either a straight 5% or 7.5% fee for the tickets but I want to change it up a bit so that it benefits JBS holders.
Here is the proposal.
The fee will be advertised as 8% publicly. 4% will be allocated for pool maintenance and server costs. 2% will be allocated to a JBS development fund. 2% will be for JBS market buys which will be rewarded back to stake pool users periodically.
This will make the pool competitive in fees and the cheapest in terms of straight pool maintenance and server costs. The overall changes will also help the JBS ecosystem with rewards to users and stimulated market activity.

Here are some more details related to the Decred Proof of Stake pool and potential payouts mentioned in Slack.
[6:48 PM] saintgermaine: sounds great @julian could you help quantify the impact.. like put the expected numbers this might generate for jbs dev fund and market buys..as for the market buys how often will that happen? I dont really understand pools very well so wondering how often they process...i guess in summary im asking if you can explain a bit more but keep it simple?
[7:56 PM] julian: .. i'll run some numbers now
a bit of this terminology takes some explaining. to use the pool you are paying fees from your reward
currently the PoS reward is around 1.8 per staked vote. this slowly declines over time over a reward curve... but it will be around 1.7 to 1.8 for a while.
so in a PoS pool if you pay a 10% fee: 1.8 DCR * 0.1 = 0.18 DCR fee
on the lower end, if no one buys tickets or uses the pool, obviously that means 0 market buys, 0 payouts.
(screen shot of current pools and stats)
here are the numbers from the current pools for comparison
pools are relatively new, so numbers will definitely rise across the board
so we are also required to be capped at 5% of all live tickets. that's so that pools have a balance.
[8:03 PM] saintgermaine: so your hoping to get jbs hodlers to be decred miners/stakers so that the 8% fee is similar to other pools but the addedd benefits is a percentage of the *% goesback into JBS..?
[8:03 PM] julian: yes
i'll run max numbers based on 5%.. one second
[8:04 PM] saintgermaine: sounds like a winner
[8:04 PM] julian: essentially i try and build a win win situation for all
and previously we had a PoW multipool but yeah micah stopped running it
but this DCR PoS mining pool should be self sustaining
ok, so there are 5 minute block times. and 5 votes per block.
12 blocks per hour
12 blocks * 24 hours * 5 votes = 1440 votes per day
"These pools will be soft-capped at 5% of the stake tickets each" OK, yeah, it's 5%
so 5% of 1440.0 is 72 voted tickets a day
72 voted * 1.8 reward * 0.08 (8 percent) = 10.368 DCR max fees collected
2.592 DCR would be max buy back per day
[8:11 PM] saintgermaine: :grinning:
[8:12 PM] julian: so max buy back would be around $4.17312 per day based on current DCR price of $1.61 per DCR
.. so that also depends on the price of DCR.
(screen shot of DCR historical price)
but DCR USD price has been pretty steady
[8:15 PM] saintgermaine: thx jyap for info
[8:15 PM] julian: No problemo. but yeah payouts would be "periodically". i say that since i'd do them manually to begin with.

http://dcrstakepool.getjumbucks.comThe Decred stake pool is now live. I am going to make another tab so people can add their JBS address if they want payments. You can use it perfectly fine for now. Happy DCR staking!

Hey Jumbuckers,
Quick question as Jumbucks is the only coin I really stake. Moving my staking wallet from one PC to another. Just moving the wallet.dat is all i need to do yea? I feel like im missing some coins since booting it back up after a few months offline from an old computer. Probably not but thought i should ask.
Thanks!

The Wallet.Dat should be all you need. I have moved my JBS wallet around a few times now and have never had an issue when just moving the wallet.dat No missing coins or anything. Maybe you have less than you remember I am going to say that is a sign from the crypto overlords that you need to get more

The Jumbucks Decred Stake Pool is currently the 4th ranked in terms of number of Live tickets. Recently I've set up my local development environment so I can make some changes. Currently on my list of TODO items for the pool: - Implement a Theme (just quickly for now to differentiate from the other pool)
- Add in a tab to add a JBS address to receive payments back
- Formally announce the stake pool in an email to the mailing list and other channels
Feel free to sign up and use the pool. If you need help buying tickets the #jumbucks channel in Slack is always helpful.

Today I have set myself up with a Raspberry Pi 3 and 3.5" LCD Touchscreen so I can always see my JBS balance and stake Thought I would share some pictures with you all. https://i.imgur.com/hs0jnr3.jpgTesting and setting things up. hardest part was LCD drivers, but was quick and easy to get running. https://i.imgur.com/aDvFTjU.pngRunning the wallet Staking works perfectly. Wallet is easy to set up on a rPi with the provided rPi wallet files from the main post. Set up costs: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Heatsinks x2 Case to fit LCD 3.5" LCD TouchScreen 16GB SD Card Adapter and Cable (Not the same cable as the pictures) The above was brought as a whole kit from Aliexpress for just over $65 USD. rPi is original and came in original factory sealed box. LCD is Chinese but was provided with 'drivers' from Waveshare. Set up to get the LCD displaying and reacting to touch took under 10 minutes, just a few simple commands and a restart. I messaged the Aliexpress seller and was provided with a recent link to download the latest files and a simple install guide. I did spend a few hours looking for the drivers my self but ended up giving up. There is a LOT of variations of the 3.5" Touch Screen so I recommend you get drivers direct from the seller should you want to set one of these up for yourself. Well worth it IMO. Looks awesome too JBS-4-LIFE

Looks awesome too JBS-4-LIFE This is great, good job. How many different wallets do you think you could stake at the same time? Depending on the coin algo I would say anywhere from 1 to 3 wallets running. JBS is quite memory intensive due to it being Scrypt based so would say 2 wallets at most on the Raspberry Pi 3. That would be pushing it and I would need to do some long term testing to see how it handles the load and heat over time. For the time being I am keeping this as a locked down, JBS only Staking machine of wonder. If you have a lot of coins staking I would go for a NUC PC from your manufacturer of choice. Gigabyte have a good set of them ranging from Low to High end depending on needs. No Mini Screen though That being said, there will be other POS coins out there that are less mem intensive and could probably get away with 3 wallets on a rPi 3 at the same time. rPi 2 I would say 1, 2 if you are lucky. rPi 1 wont be able to stake any coin I am aware of.
