Can't happen? What if there was a motivated minority that didn't want the "new feature" in an upgrade? What if the majority already voted in 1GB blocks, and the minority didn't want it? What if the miners need to change the supply cap to support their costs, and the majority voted for it, but the minority didn't want it?

What would happen to the minority? They wouldn't have the ability to fork, and split away?

Or rename it to Decred Classic, "the real for-the-community Decred". I'm not sure of what's technically possible, but that was the point of the debate. On-chain governance can't stop a community of different standpoints from breaking apart, and splitting away.

time to REBOOT the DECRED blockchain because CENTRALIZED GOVERNANCE !!!    NOOB!!

without replay protection ~ what makes you think the original chain nodes will not be sybil attacked via malicious state actors? weeee

That's true. But it's only a scam from the standpoint of the original because of different "visions". Plus I'm not convinced that a contentious hard fork is impossible because it's not profitable. The motivated minority can sell Decred from the main chain to support the fork.

I'm a Decred HODLER, but I believe the coin is only successful until that first chain split.

Remember about Litecoin. Despite everything (second crypto ever, fair launch, LN, etc.) still, the price never reached higher than 0.02BTC.


This is what I wanted to hear and see, which are real use cases for Decred. To be honest this is not much for an almost 4 years old cryptocurrency but is always better than nothing. Let's hope that there will be indeed more companies interested in Decred because this is the only way for this project to survive.


I just can't agree and think that cryptocurrency should at least have a purpose or any use case when developed because we already have more than 2970 cryptocurrencies that are trying to find the place on the market and to be honest without real use cases I don't see this to happen.

As I said we are entering the 2020 year and today is not enough only to launch a cryptocurrency to be successful exactly as until 2017. Today competition is so big that if your crypto is not special and doesn't have any purpose, then there are already hundreds of altcoins like this and they already lost 99% of the value until today.

That was at another point in the market. Until 2016 the altcoins market was totally undervalued by the mainstream.
This has changed since 2016 and a lot of money has entered this market.
As I said before, ETH, Dash and monero had their ATH above 0.1 BTC. Decred can do the same or get close if it becomes more popular.
You also forgot to count the amount of coins in the market and the total supply.
Decred has around 10 million units launched of a total of 21 million.
Litecoin and others have 10X, 100X more units.
More units are expected to be worth less.
 



Decred has a very strong community spread across all continents. I just mentioned what is happening in Brazil, which is where I live and the community I belong to. I am sure that in other regions, local communities must be developing the currency ecosystem.




The purpose of decred is to be the best and safest store of value in the market.
In addition it also provides income not only for POW miners, but also for stakeholders through POS, privacy and amazing governance.
Satoshi created bitcoin to fuck the system and the banks.
All coins that appears for another purpose in a beautiful whitepaper turns out to be scam.
Cryptocoins were not created to save the planet, to help musicians, artists, gnomes, urea production and bla bla bla
Can the blockchain be used for other purposes? Yes, but it is up to the community entrepreneurs to start their business and make money from it.
There is no need to find just one utility and create a coin around it. The blockchain is there, use it any way you like.

I hope you are right and Decred will be strong enough to survive and stay for longer in the crypto space.

Of course, I am researching (refreshing my knowledge) about many projects which were famous in 2017.

I am really shocked that many of them are already dead, abandoned, delisted or just not developed anymore.

Luckily this is not the case for Decred and here the team and community seem to be strong.


I think a motivated minority will be able to cause a chain split.

Decred is developed to make it not possible because it would be very costly to do, but what if some bad actor would be only interested in finishing Decred project by a chain split to prove that on-chain governance is broken and don't think about the cost?

===> DECRED TRIED TO TAKE AWAY MY PRIVACY!! <===

YES BITCOIN IS HERE TO HELP ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, & REAL PEOPLE!!!

ALL DECRED IS IS ANOTHER CENTRALIZED SHITCOIN. JUST LOOK AT THE RICHLIST!!! \_@@_/ NO REAL WORLD USE.
