I agree. Solo staking is like running to work when you could drive/bike instead. You can eliminate the hassle quite easily if you stake with a pool.
If good prices for tickets are available and demand is low then yes, because you can pay the default fee of 0.01 dcr per kb.
But when that is not the case and you end up having to pay for example 1 dcr fee per kb, that translates to a little over 0.5 final cost per pool ticket whereas solo it would be 0.3 dcr for the same ticket.
To solo mine you need to pay a VPS that can down and you lose all your mining that is incomplete.
Latency is also directly related to missed tickets.
The pools have several servers, there is no down risk
DCR wallet has been broken on Yobit for weeks, have sent multiple tickets and they still haven't fixed it. does anyone know this dude who can get him to spend the 30 minutes to fix the wallet?
Yobit is a scam exchange with a lot of scam coins.
There isn't problem with Decred wallet. They are lying.
They belong to a pump & dumper group.
They want everyone to drop decred on their buy orders.
