i wish the staking mechanism was more simple, like in ppc and other pos coins.
or at least there was a windows wallet that make staking simple  for novice users.


But there is. It's Decrediton wallet
Tutorial: https://docs.decred.org/getting-started/user-guides/using-decrediton/#tickets

you didn't read the term "simple"  Grin
buy  tickets?  Huh
this is not the PoS i know. even lisk and waves are more simpler than that!

Understandable, I guess. My only comment: PoS as it's implemented in DCR isn't the same as in other coins, and can't really be thought of the same way. New coin, new terms, new things to learn.  Wink

Also I would mention, the Tickets are what make Governance of this coin uniquely possible.

simplified;
If you just buy reprice and sell, you don't hold long enough to want tickets, therefore no vote in governance.
If you want to invest in this coin, then you are buying tickets (to build "interest" per se), therefore you have a vote in governance.
