Hi foxkyu,

Dcrstats Evolution has been shutdown, last live tickets still voting though.
Don't worry, of course your funds are safe. If you have any problems with withdrawals, we will solve it.
Please contact directly via official email: info@dcrstats.com

Is there a tutorial on buying tickets for refugees from dcr evolution? It was such a great service, so thanks for the time it was up, I'd love to keep staking but do I need my PC on 24/7, or can I buy tickets and then leave my wallet offline.

No, you can stake with a pool (just like with Evolution) and have your wallet offline. The new Decredition wallet has a nice UI for buying tickets. You just need to configure it once with your pool info. I'm pretty sure it also has an auto-buy feature, so you should be able to get the same functionality the Evo service offered.

If you decide to stake with the help of a pool though, you actually give away control over your tokens don't you?

No, not at all. All you do is delegate the right to vote to the pool (on your behalf). You still have 100% control of the coins, and at no point does the pool have access to or control over your private keys.

The now-retired Evolution service from DcrStats was different. Using that service did indeed require you to trust the operator, as they technically controlled the coins you deposited to the service. Very much like a typical exchange today.

Hi IncludeBeer,

that is some interesting information as I was completely wrong about it all the time obviously. Does the delegation of the voting right apply to every POS pool or are there also pools where you do give away your private keys?

As far as I know, there are no pools that behave like that. For sure, none of the pools listed here require trust (sharing/giving away your private key): https://dcrstats.com/

The Evolution service wasn't actually its own pool. It was just an application that handled auto-purchasing tickets for you. It just happened to use a PoS pool (of course, so it *could* buy tickets). So it was the Evo service, not the pool itself which you were having to trust when you used it. Cool
