Welcome to "Decred and the State of the Market," brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen. In this episode, we’ll dive into the concepts and expectations for the Decred strategic refresh proposals. Why a design / brand refresh could be important and what this means for the project.
Welcome to "Decred and the State of the Market," brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen. In this episode, we’ll dive into Decred's strategic positioning and long-term vision, exploring the innovative thinking and development philosophy that has shaped this unique cryptocurrency project.
## Livestream Agenda:
* Stablecoin summer
* Biggest leak ever: 16B logins & passwords exposed - https://x.com/VivvekShukla/status/1935762735813283999
* Dave C on why Decred - https://x.com/realdavecgh/status/1930497471613940185
## Discussion Q&A:
* a fair launch, community-driven development and innovation, treasury for development (10% of miners rewards)
* A Fair launch vs Tail emission
* Low PoW miner rewards risk reducing network security...
* PoS ticket voting and Politeia governance favours wealthier and more active stakeholders
* Limited mobile functionality
* Privacy features are limited compared to dedicated privacy coins ( Considerations: inflation prevention, ease in changing the cryptographic primitives, and long-term pruning)
* Contributors and community face barriers due to the complexity of the protocol
* the hybrid consensus POW / POS just makes everything super complicated and potentially vulnerable to hacks and bugs
Decred and the State of the market is brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen.
We're excited to have Aron Beierschmitt (@abearschmitt) joining us for a deep dive into cryptocurrency governance and emerging technologies.
We'll be exploring Aron's thought-provoking article "The Sovereign Protocol Hiding in Plain Sight" (https://mirror.xyz/0xcodexvc.eth/Ylrhh3NRbTIEzk1ZmQfTkTNmoSysSE7RRU\_BJuWEvO8), where they examine the hidden potential within existing blockchain protocols and what true sovereignty means in the decentralised world.
Additionally, we'll discuss the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain infrastructure, specifically how AI integration could enhance and evolve Decred's ecosystem. From governance optimisation to network security, we'll explore the possibilities and challenges of bringing AI into decentralised autonomous systems.
Get ready for an engaging conversation about the future of decentralised governance, protocol sovereignty, and the role of AI in shaping tomorrow's blockchain landscape!

In this discussion, we’ll look at the state of the crypto market and why the trajectory we’re currently on doesn’t fulfil the original cypherpunk expectations.
* Bybit exploited for $1.4Bn
* The meme coin super cycle is the ultimate Ponzi scheme
* Why non-cypherpunks are calling for crypto regulation
* Bison wallet $1 million volume per month miles stone
* New release of Bison Relay
* Proposals
Decred and the State of the market is brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen and joined by @matheusd_tech.
In this discussion, we'll be diving into a new proposal created by Matheus and Victor (VCTT). That looks at how Decred could build additional functionality whilst aligning with the core values of the project. Non-Fungible Data Chains.

Bison Wallet’s first 90 days have been nothing short of incredible! In this episode, we’ll unpack the highlights, complete some trades and look at what comes next for the world's first P2P atomic swap exchange.
Decred and the State of the market is brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen. The outcome of the US 2024 election has been confirmed, Donald Trump is the clear winner. But what does this mean for crypto and the wider global economy?
As of today, the election has already made a positive impact on the space and is likely to continue into 2025 - 2026. Also, with a US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve looming it's hard not to be incredibly bullish for the future.
Privacy matters. Privacy should be unstoppable. Privacy is an individuals prerogative.
If you’re interested in coming on the show in future weeks and trying out crypto products like Decrediton, Bison Wallet (aka DCRDEX) or Bison Relay, join us and we’ll get you started.
Livestream Agenda:
Generally, there are three options for privacy:
1. Privacy by default
2. Optional privacy
3. No privacy
Each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks but generally I sit in the camp that says privacy should be optional. This is for a few reasons...
* Default privacy: is good for when you require complete anonymity. But this does come with two possible drawbacks Pruning - the inability to reduce the size of a blockchain by consolidating account and transaction history. And undiscoverable Inflation attacks.
* Optional Privacy: means that you get a good level of privacy without taking on the undesirable drawbacks. It also means you have choices for when to use privacy and when not to. One example of this are mixing protocols like stakeshuffle++ which allow for efficiency and incredibly high levels of privacy.
* No privacy is useful for organisational transparency for things like treasury spending, charity donations, and verifiability. One benefit of no privacy is the reduction of complexity.

With the release of Decred 2.0, Decred is now a feature complete layer one blockchain. Since the release of the Decred road map in 2017, the project and its development teams have worked diligently to build a network that removes all single points of failure. This innovation began with Decred’s full node daemon, dcrd, which has been built from the ground up to facilitate, resilient iteration, speed, efficiency, and a modular approach to blockchain development, allowing for seamless integration of features and improvements.

Decred and the State of the market is brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen with featured guests. In this discussion, we’ll be talking about Decred 2.0 which is a major release for the protocol and finalises several key developments discussed in the original roadmap.
Blockchain technology can be represented as being slow, inefficient, and inconsistent. Many would argue, this preserves the highest levels of security whilst aiming to maintain a peer to peer decentralised network. The question is, can this be improved to give users the best of both worlds, A fast, efficient blockchain that is also a secure, decentralised, and peer to peer network?
Let’s explore blockchain scaling and the methods used to increase transaction volume and speed, whilst decreasing congestion and cost. We’ll also discuss the trade-offs being introduced by various solutions. Understanding the long-term implications will also help evaluate the path a project is likely to follow and the overall outcomes.

The crypto news from March 2024 and why Mimble Wimble is changing privacy.
If you have read the Harry Potter books the name Mimblewimble may be familiar. It's the name of a spell that ties the target's tongue to keep them from spreading secrets or casting other spells. In the real world, this funny word was chosen by an anonymous developer who used the name Tom Elvis Jedusor, to name a privacy protocol. This protocol can be described as a cloak of invisibility for crypto transactions, ensuring that user information remains hidden.
Is Decred's Lightning Network non-custodial? Addressing the misconceptions and misinformation surrounding the non-custodial nature of the Lightning Network.
Is Decred's Lightning Network non-custodial? This question comes up frequently. The short answer is “yes”, but to be more specific we’ll need to look into some general misconceptions, which are plenty. For this discussion, we’ll focus on how Bison Relay has implemented the Lightning Network.
