The term mining represents the process of validating transactions on the Decred network and keeping it secure. In return for work, miners are rewarded with newly generated Decred coins.

Decred has two methods of validating transactions: Proof-of-work (PoW) and Proof-of-stake (PoS).

An address is the only thing needed to send or receive funds. It can be easily generated from any Decred wallet. Decred addresses always begin with D and contain 26-36 alphanumeric characters.

After a transaction is made, funds will usually clear in about 5 minutes. There is a small fee to help with the upkeep of the network. This fee is in addition to the transaction amount. That is, a transfer of 100DCR would incur a fee of about 0.006DCR.

The block explorers mainnet.decred.org and explorer.dcrdata.org allow users to search all the blocks and transactions in the Decred blockchain.

There are three main ways to interact with Decred:

The Wallet - For sending and receiving funds as well as participating in PoS mining.

Proof-of-work Mining - Using computing power to validate transactions on the network and generate new Decred tokens.

Proof-of-stake Mining - Using funds to vote on important network development matters and validate transactions for rewards.

Decred is a multi-platform digital currency with support for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Easy-to-use wallet apps enable sending, receiving, and mining Decred with just a few clicks.

For those who like to tinker, Decred provides a full suite of command line tools allowing customization of the Decred experience.

Empowering individuals, groups, and companies.

We are community-powered. Stakeholders who participate in DecredÂ’s decision-making are rewarded for their efforts. Sustainable funding and a resilient contractor model allow for anyone to join Decred at any time and engage in its governance. DecredÂ’s value is in the people who work on it - together weÂ’re building the decentralized future we want to see.

Dear Mark, (I know we aren't on a first name basis .. so pardon me that)

You created a "forum" that went viral and shook up the world. All forum admins everywhere have been trying to learn your secret to success ever since.

Governments are trying to figure out what to do with Facebook. They love it and hate it at the same time.

However, your shareholders greed has come to the point where they are endangering the precious baby you created.

No one has ever seen a company pivot from desktop to mobile as fast or as successfully.

With all that said, let me offer my humble opinion on your platform. Ads (as I have on this website are ok and acceptable to the public)

All the other creepy uses of user's data are just creepy and not worth even touching.

Facebook is getting KILLED in the privacy and trust arena which is critical and very tough to ever recover.

Here are a list of moves that should never have happened and hopefully you'll be able to roll back to recover:

• Allow users the ability to control their OWN newsfeed completely. I mean down to the granular level. (Think about how that would reduce your responsibility for creating people's newsfeeds for them only to later hear them complain about how you suck at that)
• Keep ads OUT of the newsfeed. Settle for banner ads and make billions off of the user interaction increase. (Less can be MORE)
• Don't throttle Page / Group owner's views of their posts to their audience. These "publishers" / (companies) create interaction. Throttle them and you throttle interaction that the rest of the forum admins in the world would die for. (This will ignite the entire platform) Your Publishers and Page owner's created your platform's ubiquitousness. Then you abandoned them in order to charge them. They have mostly left now along with the users)

There are more including a complete brand refresh that we should talk about someday. Facebook is dying but it can still be revived and grow even more.

Imagine what could be accomplished in the ecommerce area alone? But that lack of trust is killing you.

Anyways, I wish you all the best.

And that is a serious tail....

Wow.... it appears the bones on the back over time turned into a shell. Evolution.

Así es la inflación. 

Interesantísimo 

Just start a private club for your group / company / nonprofit etc...on this website for free. (it is all ad supported the way the free web was intended)

It has all the functionality and more for FREE.

Oh... I don't sell your info or steal your data. It's all supported by simple, old fashioned ads. No creepy stalking.

Enjoy!

"I had a dream in the sixties, where my mom, who died, came to me in the dream and was reassuring me, saying: It's gonna be ok" - Sir Paul McCartney. ?Try not to get shivers while watching this video...  Love tribulation. Tribulation means setback. Success is a result of endurance and tranquility during the unavoidable setbacks.

When you hear/see behind the scenes stories (Jaime Cohen and Reena Friedman Watts is on to something really great, check their content out), no matter whatever the story is about, it becomes real and authentic and 10x more powerful.

An example, Paul McCartney telling the story about Let it be to James Corden. Stories creates emotions. Shivers. Tears. Laughter. 

When you find yourself in times of trouble, Let it be... And sometimes, Letting it be instead of being stubborn benefits everyone.

The Economist Intelligence Unit has ranked 140 cities based on their liveability. Melbourne has been ranked the world's most liveable city for the past seven years but it has lost the top spot, to whom?

In this video, Jason Bermas of WeAreChange gives you the latest breaking news on the landmark decision by a jury to find that Monsanto's Roundup weed killer and glyphosate, in particular, caused Dewayne Lee Johnson's cancer. This opens the floodgates for hundreds of lawsuits, it's all over for Monsanto

@James Thomas Rook Jr.  What you say above is very true.

It's not just the vehicle that would need to be built but even an even larger problem would be changing the infrastructure to fit it.

Tesla has experienced this already with their superchargers everywhere.

I recently pulled into one to ask an owner how they felt.... and for longer trips than can fill up at about 250 miles per hour.

If you have a LONG trip that would add potentially 2 hours of "sitting time" versus just filling up with gas and moving on down the road.

It only works for round trip commutes of less than 130 miles or so because of the waiting time.

And the "fill ups" at home only allow for daily round trip commutes of about 30-50 miles off of a standard plug.

Yes... you read this right. PARIS, FRANCE.
