Block explorers offer a wealth of information, and DCRDATA is leaps and bounds above even the most popular explorers. There is still more to cover and in real terms we’ve only just scratched the surface, but this is a good point in our journey to say, comparing data is vital to understanding. For those not in the loop, Decred is building a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) around the pre...

The DCRDATA charts that we’ve looked at to this point demonstrate how the project is performing and how the security is holding up. It’s also fair to say these charts can demonstrate the conviction of the coin holders. But what we’re interested in, for this video, is growth and adoption and whether the chain is seeing a general increase in transactions. Decred has several kinds of on-chain transac...

Decred’s proof of stake is the counter security mechanism to mitigate against potential miner bad behaviour. It’s also used as the governance mechanism for consensus changes and treasury spending.   In this video, we’ll focus on the POS charts and what the information is telling us about the prosperity of the chain. The charts we’ll focus on include:  * Ticket price * Ticket Pool si...

Hopefully, by now you’re getting a good understanding of how powerful a block explorer is and how DCRDATA is leading the way in pretty much every area compared to other block explorers. As previously discovered, each block contains a massive amount of information. This information has been permanently stamped on the blockchain and can be accessed at any time. Individual blocks on their own will bu...

Delving into an individual block and the data on offer. A staging point for this discussion is the open nature of on-chain transactions in comparison to the closed nature of traditional banking transactions.  By having no closed off values, all participates get the opportunity to make up their minds if Decred Is performing to their expectations before participating in the monetary system.

On-chain data lets us move away from this centralised traditional finance model and lets the individual investigate the data for themselves. The block explorer is the primary way to understand how a blockchain is performing. Everything that happens on-chain is recorded, and the block explorer gives us access to this information in real time. For those not in the loop, Decred is building a Decentra...

The hard fork vs soft fork debate is shrouded in mystery and misinformation. In this video, we’ll examine some key points to these arguments and look at why Decred is working towards becoming the first blockchain to be hard fork only. All software needs to be updated to fix issues, increase performance or improve security, and blockchain protocols are no different. In Blockchain, those upgrades ar...

On February 8th 2022, Decred turned six years old. In the first part of this tour, we looked back at the primary achievements of Decred in its first three years. In many respects these years outlined the ethos of the project and established the hardness of the protocol and the relentless determination and technical ability of the team.  Decred is demonstrating its willingness to build at a sl...

January, is typically a point in time where we start anew. A new year with lots of new videos! Crypto and sound money projects like Decred were built to be a hedge against high inflation and other monetary manipulations. During 2021, we had a front row seat to all this craziness and 2022 is already proving to be no different.    Join us on our journey through the economic and social land...

Decred is fork resistant by design. Which means that only one chain will ever exist and every upgrade will have to pass a vote before being implemented on the network. Where an upgrade is not approved it will be rejected, never to be activated on the chain, bring a resolution to the process.  The ultimate goal for a fork resistant blockchain is - For everyone to be running the same version of...

By Design Decred is fork resistant and protects its self from contentious issues that could fracture the community. The question: What’s the point in having a maximum supply of 21million if you can’t protect yourself against a contentious hard fork that will inflate the supply by creating a new project out of thin air!? Decred is an autonomous digital currency. With a hybrid consensus system, it i...

Decred’s interpretation and use of Proof of stake is unique to the project and is referred to as ticket voting. Rather than using POS as an independent security mechanism it’s used as a verification and governance mechanism which is arguably its original intended purpose. In this video we'll look at how Decred's ticket voting system works and how you can participate.   Decred is an autonomous...

The Decred project is renown for being forward thinking and exists because the evolution of blockchain is necessary. The team behind Decred believed in the fundamentals of what Bitcoin was aiming to achieve but were aware of future events that would be near impossible to solve under the current implementation.   The Decred team also realised early on, that there were massive trade offs w...

Decred and the future of blockchain security. You have to assume that as blockchain technology becomes more popular and valuable that various entities are going to want to attack the systems for large gains. If this technology becomes a true store of value or money you can guarantee that these attackers will become more sophisticated and organised. It’s for this reason you want to make sure the pr...
