Decred Block Explorer (DCRDATA) - Part 1
On-chain data lets us move away from this centralised traditional finance model and lets the individual investigate the data for themselves. The block explorer is the primary way to understand how a blockchain is performing. Everything that happens on-chain is recorded, and the block explorer gives us access to this information in real time.

Hard Fork vs Soft Fork - Decred Fundamentals
The hard fork vs soft fork debate is shrouded in mystery and misinformation. In this video, we’ll examine some key points to these arguments and look at why Decred is working towards becoming the first blockchain to be hard fork only.
All software needs to be updated to fix issues, increase performance or improve security, and blockchain protocols are no different. In Blockchain, those upgrades are called forks and there are two main kinds of upgrade, soft fork or hard fork.

Six Years of Decred - Part 2
On February 8th 2022, Decred turned six years old. In the first part of this tour, we looked back at the primary achievements of Decred in its first three years. In many respects these years outlined the ethos of the project and established the hardness of the protocol and the relentless determination and technical ability of the team.
Decred is demonstrating its willingness to build at a slower pace than other projects with a resolve to getting things right and put the security of the project before all other aspects.
As I mentioned before, Decred is taking a direction that no other cryptocurrency has been able to follow. A large part of this is due to its self funded nature with no external backers steering the direction of the project whilst pushing for short term gains.
For those not in the loop, Decred is building a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) around the premise of sound money. Decred has a fix maximum supply of 21 million, is governed by its coin holders and is self funded from its decentralised treasury.
Through its decentralised, open sources and fee-less exchange (DCRDEX), Decred aims to be not only a project for peer to peer transactions but a platform for peer to peer exchange. An interoperability factor unparalleled by any other project.

Six Years of Decred - Part 1
February 8th 2022, Decred celebrated its 6th birthday. That’s 6 years of running nonstop and 6 years of live innovation happening directly on the network in real time. In this podcast, we’ll look at how Decred has pushed the boundaries of what is possible and how it’s taken a direction that no other cryptocurrency has been able to follow.
To understand why Decred, we need to look at the basic premise for sound money, alongside the colossal one-sidedness of the current financial system.
For those not in the loop, Decred is building a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) around the premise of sound money. Decred has a fix maximum supply of 21 million, is governed by its coin holders and is self funded from its decentralised treasury.

Inflation in 2022 - Decred Society
January, is typically a point in time where we start anew. A new year with lots of new videos! Crypto and sound money projects like Decred were built to be a hedge against high inflation and other monetary manipulations. During 2021, we had a front row seat to all this craziness and 2022 is already proving to be no different.

How is Decred Fork Resistant? - Decred Fundamentals
Decred is fork resistant by design. Which means that only one chain will ever exist and every upgrade will have to pass a vote before being implemented on the network. Where an upgrade is not approved it will be rejected, never to be activated on the chain, bring a resolution to the process. The ultimate goal for a fork resistant blockchain is - For everyone to be running the same version of the software, with the same rule set, with No contentious hard forks, No inflating of the coin supply and ultimately the process should keep the community together. This enforces the philosophy of - What you signed up for is what you get!

Being Fork Resistant - Decred Fundamentals
By Design Decred is fork resistant and protects its self from contentious issues that could fracture the community.
The question: What’s the point in having a maximum supply of 21million if you can’t protect yourself against a contentious hard fork that will inflate the supply by creating a new project out of thin air!?

Decred’s interpretation and use of Proof of stake is unique to the project and is referred to as ticket voting. Rather than using POS as an independent security mechanism it’s used as a verification and governance mechanism which is arguably its original intended purpose. In this video we'll look at how Decred's ticket voting system works and how you can participate.

What's the Reasoning Behind Decred's Hybrid Security? - Decred Fundamentals
The Decred project is renown for being forward thinking and exists because the evolution of blockchain is necessary. The team behind Decred believed in the fundamentals of what Bitcoin was aiming to achieve but were aware of future events that would be near impossible to solve under the current implementation. The Decred team also realised early on, that there were massive trade offs with the two most popular forms of blockchain protocol. But if they could combine the two and mitigate against these downsides they would be able to build a system that is hyper secure and adaptable long into the future.

Blockchain Security and the Cost of Attack - Decred Fundamentals
Decred and the future of blockchain security. You have to assume that as blockchain technology becomes more popular and valuable that various entities are going to want to attack the systems for large gains. If this technology becomes a true store of value or money you can guarantee that these attackers will become more sophisticated and organised. It’s for this reason you want to make sure the project is adaptable enough to protect its self over time. Decred fulfils this mission.

The Building Blocks of Blockchain Security - Decred Fundamentals
In this podcast, we look at how blockchain's proof of work security, solved the double spend problem and how this has formed the foundation of Decred's next generation innovation. The digital currency movement, and the projects included in this distinction were aiming to solve the problem of how to transfer money between peers without the need for a trusted third party.
The process should also be completed in a reasonable short period of time with the assurance that the money was legitimate and hadn’t been mass-created by a centralised controlling party. To a degree these projects proved that creating a digital currency was possible but securing the system from a double spend attack was hard to achieve.

The Evolution Of The Treasury - Decred Fundamentals
In this podcast, we look at one of the biggest goals set for any cryptocurrency, creating the worlds first truly decentralised treasury. Decred is making massive inroads on this development. In April 2021 a vote was passed too effectively create a two factor authentication process where no coin from the treasury can be spent until the DCR ticket holders have given their approval.
This is a missive step forward to full decentralisation. With a current worth of over $100 million, these steps have to be taken with great caution.

Should Money Be Private? - Decred Fundamentals
Privacy is yet another one of those elements of crypto currencies that is all too often dismissed as being unimportant. It's not until privacy is gone that you will need it the most. Decred has an elegant solution to privacy that makes it functional, easy to maintain and with high throughput all without the need for a third party service provider or custodian.
A quote by Edward Snowden sums up privacy perfectly - “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

Why is governance important? - Decred Fundamentals
Governance in the crypto space is akin to the elephant in the room. Everyone knows it's needed but few want to acknowledge how important it is or have the ability to build the infrastructure that could successfully implement a viable system. Without exception, projects and project leaders don't have the ability or foresight to look far into the future to prepare for unknown issues.
With good governance you hedge your bets and increase your chances of being able to improve and adapt long into the future.

One of the unique properties of a cryptocurrency is a fixed and maximum supply which is in complete contrast to what we have with our fiat currencies. Where supply is infinite and money printing has become more frequent over the last ten years.
