harmony VS dcrd

While declining over time as the project reaches its final stages, the developer activity of Harmony ONE is commendable in spite of recent market conditions, meaning that its developers are dedicated to improving the network rather than being monetarily driven. Currently, there are an average of 5 commits per day.

The perception of inactivity on GitHub for the Harmony Protocol is a misunderstanding. In reality, our team is continuously working on enhancements and updates. To provide some recent statistics, excluding merges, eight authors have pushed two commits to the main branch and 248 commits to all branches within the past month. During this time, 148 files have been modified, with 6,977 additions and 952 deletions. We encourage you to follow the development progress on our GitHub repository and review our Q1 development priorities in the provided Medium article.

Having spoken to a dev it’s worth watching the Dev branch instead to see active changes happening https://github.com/harmony-one/harmony/tree/dev

Have you seen anyone have issues on their laptop signing into metamask on harmony.one staking? Mobile phone staking through metamask browser works just fine, but I use a laptop quite a bit... I did disable the trust wallet plug-in, and I have the harmony mainet shard 0 in metamask setup...

for one thing I have two addresses, one harmony and the other is a ethereum address. What is fascinating is that I can send ONE to any harmony address only if I use the harmony.one website, however when doing so directly in metamask it has to be the ethereum address.

Sync stuck issues were fixed and caches have been optimized.

Are we looking at the same github repos? Consistent commits to the core protocol https://github.com/harmony-one/harmony/graphs/commit-activity

Agree. I was referring to the current state. Binance being the top holder can only be "fixed" by people using it as a ramp to purchase their ONE (lots of it) and sending them to a wallet and only then choosing a delegator. It will take some motivation and belief in decentralization for that to happen. So we go back to...convenience. How would you pitch the idea that having your coins on harmony.one, is better than keeping them on a CEX? And then pitch the idea that having more validators with a more distributed share is also better for the network? Will it matter to investors with an economist view of crypto or those like Binance for example?

🟡 The Harmony mainnet received a network upgrade to version 4.3.9 in May;

If you are referring solely to fully-validating node implementation, then, yes, dcrd is currently the only fully-validating node implementation.

This month in the journal, Decred gains a seat at the political table when our timestamping service is used to combat fake news. The development team release a series of updates for Decred Core, DCRDEX and decred.org.

Decred Journal - August 2022 is out! Decred is in full build mode but where to start! An overhaul of the decred.org website? Politeia new release? A massive upgrade for DCRDEX? Or the many fixes and improvements... Don't wonder, read up! https://www.decredmagazine.com/decred-journal-august-2022/

Is that the Decred logo?

Check out https://decred.org

Decred is also a great coin to do PoS with! It's very easy to do with the GUI wallet as well.

You should check out Decred https://decred.org/. I am not a financial advisor, I just like the cryptocurrency. Always research on your own to make an informed decision.

Looking at your skillset, one idea is to start getting familiar with Decred by running a full node. Or even run a vspd instance to help the network and earn you some atoms in the process. Other ideas I have written up earlier is to package and publish Decred software in popular repositories, or look into status monitoring of network's health. There's really a lot to be built once you start seeing it.
