Decred in Depth Ep.29 - Ammar Naseer - Hyperinflation + Sound Money + DCR’s Role
Decred is an autonomous digital currency. With a hybrid consensus system, it is built to be a decentralized, sustainable, and self-ruling currency where stakeholders make the rules.
Decred and the State of the market is brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen.
In this episode, we’ll be talking about the change to CPU mining and the initial mining difficulty which had to be overcome to find the first block, after the consensus change. We’ll also look at the current active proposals on Politeia and other participation opportunities.

It’s incredibly impressive to see how this project is moving forward, the improvements being made here may seem minor, but it’s good that usability is the highest priority right now. Creating a streamlined experience for non-technical users will make onboarding a lot easier.

Why does a cryptocurrency need its own exchange? In Decred’s case peer to peer cash was just the starting point, this idea must evolve, to be better than what came before. Custodial / rent seeking services must be removed from every part of the system. A cryptocurrency must be able to seamlessly integrate and operate throughout the full ecosystem. The result should be a fluent experience for the user, to the point that transacting with peer to peer cash will be a better, more versatile experience for all participants.

If you’ve ever used a multi-chain SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) wallet like DCRDEX, a few questions might pop to mind when comparing Decred against Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin. Firstly, how does Decred’s SPV mode synchronise, so quickly when compared to the others? And secondly, why does Decred seem to have more available nodes to synchronise to?
Let’s focus on the second point, “why does Decred have more available nodes to synchronise to?”. In many ways, this seems like an odd scenario, especially when you compare the number of full nodes running those networks. So why do these platforms encounter issues when trying to find full nodes to serve SPV wallets?
