The thing is that u need coins to buy tickets. The current price of one ticket is around 18dcr. Without decred coins stake mining is not possible. Try POW mining to get some coins or purchase them to start with PoS mining
No specific guide available but u can check - https://forum.decred.org/threads/pr...import-mining-guide-use-at-your-own-risk.472/ And - https://wiki.decred.org/GPU_Mining U will need a capable GPU fast enough to make some profit.
please check this and let me know if this is true ( Alternatively, if you do not want the wallet to purchase tickets automatically, but do want voting enabled, you can set ticketmaxprice to 0 or balancetomaintain to a very large number: dcrwallet -u user -P password --enablestakemining --ticketmaxprice=0 Now the only thing to worry about is keeping your daemon and wallet connected to the network! Failing to keep either connected 24/7 will result in either the loss of your stake rewards or the continued locking of your ticket funds to a maximum of 40,960 blocks, or 142 days, on mainnet. On testnet, the maximum lockup time is 5,120 blocks and the average time to spend your ticket is 1,024 blocks or 1.5 days. Once your ticket matures, the odds of winning are approximately the same on any block until your ticket is selected. )
Everything is correct but the thing is that u need tickets to be able to vote. What he meant here is that when u have bought a desired amount of tickets and don't want to buy more u can set the maxprice as 0. P.S- sorry for the late reply.
sorry to bother you but i am really new and have 3 question bro 1 - how much good amount of coin balance i need to buy tickets for good return 2 - what will happen if i purchase ticket , is percasing price will lost of will return . mean how this will work really 3 - like say i have 50 Dcr and i want to use in solo mining , how much i can mine everyday ?
For the first question I have no exact answer. Any amount should be helpful. second - POS works this way= U spend ur decred coins to buy tickets. Until the tickets mature u cant use the coins that u spent to buy them. During every transaction a ticket is randomly selected to vote on it. If ur ticket gets selected u will get the coins u spent to buy the tickets back plus a reward (currently its 1.8dcr) minus a small transaction fee. third- Since the process is completely random u may have to wait for many days. If ur ticket doesnt get to vote even after 5months then ur dcr will be returned. For POS u will need a system thats online 24x7. If u dont have something like that u can use stake pools like me. https://stakepool.decred.org with say 50dcr u can buy 3tickets at the current price of a ticket. U can check ticket price here- https://dcrstats.com/ anything else? If u feel thankful u can send some coins or simple like my post
See the comment by Finksy here - https://forum.decred.org/threads/question-about-setup.1263/#post-14113 that should help with the POW mining
what this means? wallet has not used address for default account internal branch nothing to worry about?
i'm doing this on a virtual machine, if a suspend the machine and reopen it the stacking keep going, like nothing happened? after the connection is resumed of course, or i need to do everything again including the unlocking?
bro urgent need your help , i start solo mining with 80 dcr but now my balance is 0 . and showing this output 07:22:06 2016-03-13 [INF] WLLT: Connecting block 000000000000046659dc356ebcfe05ccf2e22ecdbc14fee51fdc019283b92aaa, height 9948 07:22:06 2016-03-13 [INF] TMGR: Inserting unconfirmed transaction bbbd5f038b5e19d62e5795a73cc194f3cc6bde4b9eac391923a8786a9417cc20 07:22:06 2016-03-13 [INF] WLLT: Successfully sent SStx purchase transaction bbbd5f038b5e19d62e5795a73cc194f3cc6bde4b9eac391923a8786a9417cc20 my history on transaction look like this da", "blocktime": 1457853550, "category": "send", "confirmations": 2, "fee": -0.05, "time": 1457853185, "timereceived": 1457853185, "txid": "803cc7e2aa8585f667bcabbebe8115e301d69dc5ba779023617dae48bcbda735", "vout": 1, "walletconflicts": [] }, { "account": "", "amount": -0, "blockhash": "0000000000001093e9c67b928a36214f8fd2b4c2bf2fd1cee0d5ac7c3c56c1 37", "blocktime": 1457853029, "category": "send", "confirmations": 3, "fee": -0.05, "time": 1457853034, "timereceived": 1457853034, "txid": "f91729e666d2d84f7a6e748ef45b4674df09fffb2fc6d51018ff4a271a2588b9", "vout": 1, "walletconflicts": [] }, and this is absoultly not normal please check this link and guide me https://mainnet.decred.org/address/DsfQuhmB2NisDy7oU1SXyiFwvVAyGMXkzLF i think somebody stole my money
Lol that was funny man!! Anyways in stake mining coins are used to purchase tickets. Shown as -Successfully sent SStx purchase transaction These coins will be locked until ur ticket gets to vote or after 5months. U can use getstakeinfo command to see information about tickets u have. see the guide, just updated that command.
heheheh .. thanks bro i was worried --wallet getbalance "default" 0 all 80.75 only missing .25 can you tell me about this out put ? $ --wallet getstakeinfo { "poolsize": 42058, "difficulty": 14.38474299, "allmempooltix": 1, "ownmempooltix": 0, "immature": 5, "live": 0, "proportionlive": 0, "voted": 0, "totalsubsidy": 0, "missed": 0, "proportionmissed": 0, "revoked": 0 }
The missing 0.25 was gone on transaction fees. Once ur ticket votes u will get back the amount u used to buy it plus a reward(current reward is 1.8dcr) Hope all ur questions were answered
"poolsize": 42058,- amount of PoS tix in pool "difficulty": 14.38474299, - cost of PoS ticket "allmempooltix": 1, - PoS tix in mempool "ownmempooltix": 0, - Amount of your PoS tix in mempool "immature": 5, - amount of immature tix (you need to wait 256 blocks for them to mature) "voted": 0, - How many votes you have cast "totalsubsidy": 0, - How much decred you have made from PoS votes "missed": 0, - How many votes missed "proportionmissed": 0, - value of missed tix "revoked": 0 - amount of revoked tix
