To make appropriate peer comparison we gauged the DCR (Decred) coin with 2100NEWS DA Coin Index (NWSCo100). Looking at the daily chart below, at the top we can see the DCR vs. NWSCo100, in the middle of the chart is the original DCR price, at the bottom of the chart are NWSCo100 and correlation between DCR and NWSCo100. On average (purple area graph), the relationship between DCR and NWSCo100  has shown that DCR was stronger in November and December but weaker in January, in the last four months, it has declined by 18% vs NWSCo100. At a time of strong NWSCo100 rally in January, DCR, despite its growth, failed to keep up with the growth of the index. However, comparing the DCR green area graph with the orange index area graph while observing the correlation graph, the correlation graph gives us an explanation that the correlation is moderate (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = 0.45).  In the last four months, DCR as an index member has been an ordinary representative of the NWSCo100 index in terms of price changes.

About Decred – what they do

Decred is a secure, adaptable and self-funding cryptocurrency with a system of community-based governance integrated into its blockchain. The project mission is to develop technology for the public benefit, with a primary focus on cryptocurrency technology. It utilizes a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mining system to ensure that a small group cannot dominate the flow of transactions or make changes to Decred without the input of the community. A unit of the currency is called a decred (DCR).

The most powerful differentiator of Decred are its governance mechanisms, including Politeia. Everyone is welcome to contribute thoughts and ideas informally on its discussion platforms and social media, but formal decisions are made in Politeia by those who contribute through PoS.

Decred uses a novel autonomous contractor model that allows for new individuals, groups, and companies to be paid for contributing to the project. Decred’s longstanding developers are open source software veterans and enthusiasts, and so Decred’s way of organizing and funding development is designed to fit with the open source ethos. Autonomy of contributors and meritocracy are the key principles around which work on Decred is organized.

Their principles: Free and Open-Source Software, Incremental Privacy and Security, Free Speech and Consideration, Multi-Stakeholder Inclusivity.

 

General information

Decred based in Chicago, USA was launched by Company 0. Decred’s beginnings date back to 2013 to actually come to life in February 2016. Jake Yocom-Piatt is the founder and CEO.
