The June Issue of the Decred Journal is already out.  The packed Development section introduces dcrros, big updates for mobile wallets, and big steps towards DEX. Also featuring strong community outputs, high-turnout Politeia votes, fresh initiatives and artists.

Exitus, the host of Decred Bi-weekly news update put across the community happening for those who would like to stay on top of what is happening in the community.

Decred developers are working in full speed.  They have been up with a lot of things like Top notch Podcasts, a new Desktop Wallet in the works, and the Rosetta implementation was complete.

The Decred Project Lead early this month opined that for the moment the sell side of the market as being driven by speculators, but this can only go on for so long.

Early this month Decred Webinar discussed a number of issues ranging from sociology, the Future of Work and Incentive Alignment hosted by Decred Australia $DCR.  The Decred Australia put together an incredibly talented panel of researchers, authors and decentralized organization builders.

In this regard, Sydney Ifergan, the crypto expert tweeted:  “Decred Webinar on Sociology and the Future of Work and Incentive Alignment is worth watching for DCR enthusiasts.”

The webinar is mostly for the purpose of education of the participants and those who are watching it. 

Some of the interesting points were that communities need their own contributory accounting system. Thinking of decentralized technology in terms of sociology like classic problems associated with work and how this community can kind of address the issue.  The participants were members who have been with Decred for quite long.

Decred (DCR) Staking

Joshua Buirski, Founded of Decred in the past recalls how a lot of Decred developers were very early bitcoin developers and some of them continue to also develop for Bitcoin.

For those who would like to know about the Decred Governance, it is based on ticket holder voting. To participate in the governance, the users should time-lock (Stake) their Decred to purchase tickets.  The tickets can then be used to vote on validating the blocks, rule changes in consensus, and treasury funded proposals on Politeia.

The Stakers receive a portion of the Decred’s block Reward which is 30% as incentive. Also, important to note that staking is not supported on mobile and hardware wallets due to security concerns.  Therefore, it is not possible to stake on Android or IOS. Also, staking is not supported on hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger Wallet.  Currently, the staking platform is supported on Windows, Mac and Linux.
