dcrvotetimes

dcrvotetimes provides a simple tool for Decred that calculates the mean time it took all tickets on the blockchain the vote. In order to provide the most accurate value, it only considers the time between the moment each ticket was added to live ticket pool and thus became eligible to vote and them time it voted.

This requires a dcrd instance with the JSON-RPC server running. Specify the RPC username and password on the command line to this tool via the -rpcuser and -rpcpass flags, respectively.

Additional details about every ticket can be displayed with the -verbose flag if desired.

Installation and updating

Windows/Linux/BSD/POSIX - Build from source

Building or updating from source requires the following build dependencies:

• Go 1.17 or 1.18

  Installation instructions can be found here: https://go.dev/doc/install. Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:

  $ go version
  $ go env GOROOT GOPATH
  

  NOTE: GOROOT and GOPATH must not be on the same path. Since Go 1.8 (2016), GOROOT and GOPATH are set automatically, and you do not need to change them. However, you still need to add $GOPATH/bin to your PATH in order to run binaries installed by go get and go install (On Windows, this happens automatically).

  Unix example -- add these lines to .profile:

  PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"  # main Go binaries ($GOROOT/bin)
  PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"       # installed Go projects ($GOPATH/bin)
  

Building/Installing/Updating:

Run the follow command to build the latest release version of the dcrvotetimes executable from source and install it to $GOPATH/bin/:

go install github.com/davecgh/dcrvotetimes@latest
