Definition

dcrstakepool is a web application developed by the DCR project enabling hosting stakepools. It coordinates generating 1-of-2 multisig addresses on a pool of dcrwallet servers so users can purchase proof-of-stake tickets on the Decred network and have the pool of wallet servers vote on their behalf when the ticket is selecte. Stakepool hosts can get the software from Decred's gh; application also comes with a default web-ui theme, recommended to be used by all stakepool host.

Goal

The goal of the work is to update the visual design; making it more consistent with the current Decreditons UI as well improve general usability where possible. Although anyone can customise their stakepool's UI, ideally provided theme should be a good enough default solution to take away need for edits.

Primary use case

From a users perspective, a stakepool's UI is interacted with during the setup process of connecting a wallet to a stakepool. During this process, the user needs to:

• Select a relevant stakepool from Decrediton (or decred.org/stakepools)
• Register an account on the selected Stakepool
• Login, find and copy the API key and paste it to Decrediton.
• Other use cases as secondary, the stakepool theme gives

Secondary use cases (lower priority)

• Stakepool admins can add ignored tickets (due to low fees attached) to stakepool
• Stakepool admins can see statuses of daemons/voting wallets/stakepooldaemons
• Users can update their voting preferences (also in Decrediton)
• Users can edit their basic settings: password, email
• Users can view the stakepool statistics (also in Decrediton)
• Users can see their ticket information (also in Decrediton)
