Decred v2.1.7 is out!
- Fixes for network and mixing DoS attacks
- Improved mixing
- Memory leak fix
- Testnet initial sync fixed
- New safeguards against unexpected transaction spends, including double spends.
In dcrd v2.1.7, If a node sees an unexpected spend that should be impossible, it shuts down instead of running in an unsafe state. This safeguard would have stopped the previous inflation bug.

Privacy. Scarcity. Governance.

Did you know that over 215,000 $DCR were never minted, and will never be minted, due to missed tickets in the hybrid consensus system?
Decred blocks are approved by 5 random ticket-holders voting. Almost always all 5 show up, but sometimes one misses, usually because a wallet was offline, a block came too fast, or a PoW miner was poorly connected. When that happens, the block pays out less DCR, and those coins are never created.
Nothing's burned; they just never get minted. Over Decred's life that's added up to ~215,243 DCR that never entered existence.
The result? Decred's real supply lands under 21M, making every coin a little more scarce.

Open source, zero data harvesting, no accounts. Could a simpler approach to content publishing actually produce better results?
This is a look at what that might feel like.
Reminder: if you haven't upgraded to v2.1.6 yet, please do so now.
