Me too...

Do you know the concept behind PoS staking?

Lock up money -----> wait... -----> Receive money back + interests

Simple. Right?

Check how much you can earn staking DCR http://www.posmaster.info

Are you one of those lazy people who do not want lengthy guides explaining all details?

Me too...

Then this guide is for you!

The lazy man´s guide to staking DCR:

Download the nice and new GUI wallet "Decrediton (OSx) or Paymetheus (Windows)". Was released today! I am lazy. All lazy people use OSx. Therefore this guide is about Decrediton! Install it and generate a wallet. While you are syncing the blockchain; you need to find a stakepool. Stakepools are found here . Register on one of those pools and find your API key. Copy it.

Now we need to purchase tickets.

Go to Decrediton and switch to the "Purchase tickets" tab. Select your pool and paste your API-key in there. Now your stakepool is connected to your Decrediton wallet!

Then you will see the ticket price: It changes sometimes. Don´t worry. You get everything back.

More statistics about ticket price and DCR in general: https://dcrstats.com

Default "Ticket Fee" is 0.01 DCR/kb. If you want to pay more and have more probability to get a mature ticket, then adjust this up. Choose your number of tickets: and click "Purchase".

Wow! That was fast. You finally staked your DCR!

Now, if you want to see the transaction and the amount staked, you must go to your Stake pool, and check your ticket.

Or use Decrediton (go to History) to see the latest transaction and lookup the transaction ID on: https://mainnet.decred.org

The DCRs are now locked up for an average of 1 month, but it can be half a year.

If you want to vote with your ticket; just click on "Vote Settings". Simple!

Wait... Vote?

Yes. Decred gives the power of voting to their token holders as well as the miners. It is more democratic than Bitcoin and Litecoin, and any other coin out there. Duh!
