This is a priority release that fixes an issue in IsStandard transaction checks where daemons were failing to relay pool-produced votes. Please update you software as soon as possible. Binaries: https://github.com/decred/decred-release/releases/tag/v0.0.7 Note: Please see DD-4 for details about this release.
Yeah what is up with the ticket prices this seems excessive, climbing 7-8 points a day currently. We have not seen this until March 7-8 and every day since. More PoS mining going on? or something else?
There are a lot of people buying tickets. The target value for the ticket pool is 40960 tickets. The current value in the ticket pool is 42532. Now tell me, what happens when there is a lot of demand for something with limited supply?
Never missed a ticket in 60 votes until updating to 0.0.7. Missed two in a row and one revoked. Hope I didn't make a mistake by updating. Update: Restarted everything and now down to one missed and one revoked. Are they the same SStx? Happier.
Seems to be a combination of more Airdrop recipients using their coins to buy stake tickets, the mainnet stake pool opening, and people re-investing as their subsidy from voting comes in. The price will stabilize eventually, just a lot going on at once right now.
I'm really don't understand why people expect a software update to lower the price of tickets. It isn't a glitch.
because pool buy tickets in any price, but solo miners buy only 7-10 price, devs buy in any price... Price go from 9 till 30(devs buy, pool buy) It's not a joke, blockchain remember everything
Well I guess I'm most curious about dcrstats.com and how they report: "Do not buy tickets now, because it is higher than the current average and the all time low".... "we suggest to wait for the difficulty adjustment." Which I'm thinking is only going to continue to rise, but the difficulty/ticket price growing at what appears to be a steady to growing rate how would that make sense. What are other solo PoS miners using for a max purchase value now that the difficulty has climbed to where it is? Also worth noting since this thread is about the new software, I did upgrade and it appears to be running well.
I have absolutely no idea what this means. I think you're saying that it's unfair that devs have more Decred to buy tickets with? So, you would only be happy if we gave you all the Decred? It's not like the devs spent their own time and invested a large amount of money into this project or anything.
Not necessarily. The next ticket price will be around 20 DCR. At least that's what my script is telling me at the moment.
Noob question here, I am currently still running on the first version. How do i update precisely ? I just downloaded the Windows-amd64-20160309-01.zip. There are the 3 files i already have (dcrwallet.exe, dcrd.exe and dcrtl.exe) and 3 new files (3x sample). Can i just delete the exe files from my old decred folder and replace them with the new ones? I am a little bit cautious with this sort of things, dont wanna loose my decred ;P
https://stakepool.decred.org/stats why does the stake pool show 0 voted? Is the stake pool not functioning properly?
There is a separate issue with the display (getstakeinfo) at present. Some votes were missed due to the problem identified and addressed through this release. This became known yesterday, so I will quote what was said then: There will be more information about this today.
