As far the the stake price goes I think we are seeing the majority of the initial 2dcr tickets get used up over the next few days. This accounts for probably more than half of the initial 40k+ tickets. As those are voted we will see the system normalize on price. The jump to 30 will happen again I am sure as more coin becomes available. I think it will be a slow steady climb this time. We may see an even further drop in price as tickets are now 9x above the 2dcr entry level. I would not hold your breath waiting for a 5-7dcr ticket price. Those days are probably gone.
Try to track estimated ticket price here: https://dcrstats.com/ Only 15 blocks left before next price adjustment and the price should be ~ 8.7 DCR
If everyone pays attention to @Dyrk 's work on average price and the new price prediction, then that itself will help to smooth price action. Just be patient with your purchases. There really is no reason to rush.
HAHA so I was technically right.... I didnt see it going that low though. I would love to see sub 10DCR stakes myself.
Does anyone have an idea of what percentage of developers' funds are staked presently? Suffice to say the network is currently secure, with nearly 42000 tickets in queue.
Does it really matter? I think the devs have shown high restraint by limiting their staking at all. If I had 10000DCR I would stake it all myself! There will always be someone with more DCR than 99.9999% of everyone here. Get over it.
The information is all available via the blockchain since block 1 has all of the initial coins and it's possible to follow them all to see how many are staked. Anyone who finds it important enough to compile that data could do so. Given that and the fact the devs have absolutely done everything they said they would do and gone way above and beyond in helping make this a successful currency including, but not limited to, forgoing pay during initial development, agreeing to not sell any of the initial coins on an exchange for 12 (24 months for C0), and agreeing to continue doing unpaid work by not applying for any of the RFPs for the first 3 months, I think they have more than proven themselves. Looking at dcrstats.com, we can see that the dev portion of the total coin supply has already dropped to 43.6% (+ any stake rewards which given the maximum possible value would be an additional 1.1%, but in reality is much less). So, that means the original devs, at absolute most, would have 44.7% of the tickets in the pool. However, given the fact a very large portion of the initial dev coins haven't even been moved to stake, it's quite a bit lower than that in reality. EDIT: Fixed time frame on locked coin agreement
I have a question. How does the price of a ticket vary? Supposing that if more people buy the tickets ,the price rises, When buying the tickets isn't it counted as a transaction? If it is,won't tickets be spent to vote on its block? So tickets will also get used up right, so why the price change?
Stake pool shows that I have 13tickets, but while running the command it shows only 12 as live. "poolsize": 41528, "difficulty": 15.6436863, "allmempooltix": 1, "ownmempooltix": 0, "immature": 0, "live": 12, "proportionlive": 0.00028896166441918705, "voted": 0, "totalsubsidy": 0, "missed": 0, "proportionmissed": 0, "revoked": 0
Never missed a vote before 0.0.7. Now I have two missed votes and two revoked votes (out of 77 votes). I use a 24/7 wallet on AWS to vote. Is this the new normal? Was I just lucky before?
Sorry guys, that wasn't supposed to come out as expressing distrust, just curious as to the amount of "throttling" if any was taking place, since the commitment at that time from dave on behalf of the developers seemed ambiguous. Their funds are theirs to do with as they please, they've earned it. The fact that they have committed to not selling off DCR for the first 12 months is over and above what would be expected of them. I was more curious if there was a feedback mechanism for the aforementioned commitments apart from following the coins on the blockchain. I'll go back under my bridge now...
It's more the luck of the draw with how well-connected your peers are to the miners. Restarting to upgrade changes your peer list.
