Many of you may know about of Decred because you mine it with Ethereum using Claymore's dual Ethereum miner. Decred started out at about fifty cents and is now floating around thirty two to thirty eight dollars. Quite a few people just sold Decred as a way to maximize their Ethereum mining profits.
What many people do not realize is that you can mine more Decred with its unique POS ticket system. You can mine using a stand alone setup or use a staking pool that you delegate voting power to on your tickets. The advantages of using the stake pool are that you do not have to keep your wallet open 24/7 to respond to a ticket vote. The stake pool handles this for you and you do not have to keep any funds on the pool. Of course the pool needs to profit and they charge a small fee for the valuable service they provide. I do not endorse any specific pool and have not used any of the Decred staking pools but users in the forum seem to be happy with the service. I went with the more painful route of setting up a stand alone linux staking box. The documentation is great for a stand alone build but I would not recommend it unless you have a good internet connection or a server in a data center.
