I didn't follow the PoS threads so maybe it has been asked before already. Question 1: Why isn't the lottery drawing for instance 5 more tickets as spare so in case the initial 5 or a subset of them don't reply within time x one or more of the spare tickets could be asked to vote? Those spare tickets that don't get the chance would go back into the pool. Question 2: What happens with those coins that will miss in PoW and PoS mining when voting is missed by an offline wallet? Will they never be issued at all or is the issuing curve adjusted and they go back into the pool to be issued later?
1) This is inadvisable because it allows for the easy manipulating of votes by the PoW miner. Given a pool of ten votes, the PoW miner can simply select the desirable outcome of their choosing. You could make consensus rules around the ordering of the votes, but these would also allow miners easy manipulation of chain reorganization. Not applying a scaling penalty also allows for vote manipulation abuse. 2) No. This can be done, like in the CryptoNote algorithm for subsidy. This was decided against because it's well known that in Bitcoin "21 million" is a ballpark figure and it is trivial to destroy your coins if you wish to. This is true for any other coin. The figure of "21 million" coins for Decred represents 21 million coins being possible for issuance. By failing to vote or failing to include votes in your block, proportional subsidy is destroyed.
how can i check if my wallet pos working 100% ? *i can see my hashes using gettickets, but nothing appear in terminal, only this: 02:21:50 2016-02-23 [INF] WLLT: Connecting block 0000000000003450f9de1131466ddfdc30bea3886a2330f92a8f2b184de7a2e9, height 4380 02:24:45 2016-02-23 [INF] WLLT: Connecting block 0000000000002ee52a834f707e0101afb0e947a746ed71646d1e462f653f4a0f, height 4381 02:32:16 2016-02-23 [INF] WLLT: Connecting block 0000000000003f579318ac1f4d392de2f74093c23788f152bb55d81968276757, height 4382 02:35:30 2016-02-23 [INF] WLLT: Connecting block 0000000000001680c9e9edc42523592b2a507068beae1c950c8d4c72a64f3214, height 4383 02:38:07 2016-02-23 [INF] WLLT: Connecting block 0000000000000d749b796d7ac61fff5782b989eb3d65dc965f0400683d962020, height 4384 02:42:36 2016-02-23 [INF] WLLT: Connecting block 000000000000270cdfd14925b50682310ea2608ee6aa3636e6bb7b7f0bc72f9a, height 4385
the reward is proportional to the value of the ticket ? if i set --ticketmaxprice=1 and everyone set 10 can i never gain rewards ?
When your ticket is selected for voting somthing like this will appear in your terminal Code: 08:01:13 2016-02-22 [INF] WLLT: Voted on block 00000000000035755f6488bb4fc624402 0931e065d7906e3082b66718cb1a782 (height 4134) using ticket 46b6a1cd6b9300d98e03c c4c923132dc610d7a68b4b70096e3a924e18328899a (vote hash: 16c77128ea93f75067a09d89 90c4c4163fbc965e63f378fc6d847ba339203358) No , This is a price of ticket you are willing to pay for 1 ticket . Ticket Selection process is totally random . It doesnt matter if u paid 2 DCR or 5DCR for a ticket
Price of a ticket is decided by how much demand is there for tickets. ticketmaxprice is what you are willing to pay for a ticket. If demand is high and price goes over your ticketmaxprice then your wallet will stop buying tickets. Also reward for voting is 30% of total block reward divided equally among voters in a block. Block reward is fixed in the coin's code and will go down with time.

Yes just run the command in a new command window. You will see it in the wallet if you have both terminal windows running at same time.
exist a minimum price to ticket ? if i ticketmaxprice to 0.5 (permit float?) I set to 1 at the moment and the system has not bought
Ya u can use float value . And at present price per ticket is 2 dcr . If u set your wallet for 1 dcr wallet will never buy ticket
hmmm I supose that this value at moment is difficulty right ? if i set 10 DCR I will pay this 10 or 2
1.Ticket price is depend on total ticket present mempool and total demand . it works like normal demand and supply rule 2. You will pay 2dcr (current price)per ticket , setting ticketmaxprice to 10 mean you are willing to pay 10 dcr per ticket . If ticket price increases more than 10dcr wallet will stop purchasing tickets yeah , it is normal . Average ticket selection time is 28days .
