jz, International Ops LeadWe're ready to test Decred's new decentralized Treasury on mainnet. A small draft spend of 0.1 DCR will be published tomorrow, and sent back to the treasury if it is approved and mined. If you use the command line tools to solo vote please set your preference in the following manner: dcrctl --wallet settreasurypolicy "03f6e7041f1cf51ee10e0a01cd2b0385ce3cd9debaabb2296f7e9dee9329da946c" "yes or no" That command sets how your wallet votes for treasury spend transactions ("tspends") signed by that key. This key represents the current management of the Treasury and the command sets your trust to it. Latest consensus rules allow this key to submit tspends but to get mined and executed they need to pass the vote. Verify the key in the source code: github.com/decred/dcrd/blob/master/chaincfg/mainnetparams.go#L389 Life cycle of tspends and other tech detailes are explained in the DCP: github.com/decred/dcps/blob/master/dcp-0006/dcp-0006.mediawiki This initial test is for solo stakers only. VSP support will be added next.
