funding, and governance.
In Decred’s hybrid system, PoW acts similarly as with Bitcoin, but miners only
receive 60% of the block reward. Thirty percent of the Decred block reward goes

to PoS voters who quality control the miners’ work, reducing the power of the

* Stakeholder votes recorded in the blockchain are rewarded with 17.8% of each block subsidy, and each block can have up to 5 votes for a total of 89% of each block subsidy.
* PoW receives 1% of each block subsidy, subject to the constraint that their subsidy scales linearly with the number of PoS votes included, e.g. including 3 of 5 votes reduces PoW subsidy to 60% of the maximum.
* The votes themselves decide by majority decision whether the regular transaction tree of the previous block, including the PoW subsidy, is valid. Thus, if PoS voters vote against a particular PoW block, it invalidates the PoW reward (and Treasury reward) and invalidates any regular transactions within that block.
* Decred's process for [amending the consensus rules](consensus-rule-voting/overview.md) is also driven by stakeholder voting. The process begins when at least 95% of PoW miners and 75% of PoS voters have upgraded their software to a new version with latent changes to the rules. Once these conditions are met, a voting period of 8,064 blocks (~4 weeks) begins, to decide whether the latent rule changes should be activated.

* For a rule change proposal to be approved, at least 75% of the tickets not set to Abstain must vote Yes. If this requirement is met, and a quorum of 10% tickets voting Yes or No is achieved, then the rule change will be activated 8,064 blocks (~4 weeks) later.

1. The same principle makes the Decred blockchain resistant to contentious hard forks. PoW Miners are unable to build on a chain without the Votes of the tickets that are called.
1. Snap voting of live tickets is used to make decisions about the project treasury through [Politeia](../governance/politeia/overview.md).

The **Ticket Pool** is the total number of tickets in the Decred network.

The **Ticket Fee** (`ticketfee`) is the fee that must be included in the ticket purchase to incentivize Proof-of-Work (PoW) miners to include that ticket in a new block. **Ticket Fee** usually refers to the DCR/kB fee rate for a ticket purchase transaction. The **Ticket Fee** defaults to the minimum (0.0001 DCR/kB), which is typically sufficient.

**When a ticket is called to vote, the wallet that has voting rights for that ticket must be online.** If the wallet is not online to cast its vote, the ticket will be marked as `missed` and you will not receive a reward for that ticket. In practice, **Solo Voters** often run voting wallets on a number of servers on different continents, to minimize the chance of their tickets missing a call to vote.
