Coming here from the post on Slashdot. I like several features of this currency, and have a few questions.
Cold staking and decentralized stake pooling. Sounds great but how?
Voting/polling is good. But why is the plan to split blocks 60% with miners and 40% with stakers? Why not make it an even split?
Immutable tx ids, excellent.
Script enhancements and new OP codes, what will these be and for what purpose?
Self-funded development via block subsidy, 10%. I feel this is way too much of a cut. Please consider reducing it by a lot or withdrawing these plans altogether considering you're also taking 4% of the 21 million total premine.
"Simple GPU miner." I'd look at getting mining Decred supported in a mature mining program like bfgminer or sgminer instead of rolling something new. These mature mining programs support AMD Overdrive features already, so that means overclocking, temperature reading, etc built-in. Ethminer, the miner program for Ethereum, was less useful without these features.
