Right.

What I meant was we will have a new ATH sooner or later, preferably sooner.

ATH from the last bubble should not be considered real value (at least not at the time it happened), that also had elements of manipulation.  Don't get me wrong, I don't like shorting, but all those shorts have to be closed at some point.  When the price finally starts going up they will have to close and as a result it will move faster

Long term trend is up, protocol is working, this is just the beginning.  It just takes nerves and patience, like raising a child.
The difference is, it will not give the same returns in the same amount of time that those lucky very early adopters had.

Please explain how is keeping the miners solved without reward after 600k block?  Why would any pool keep merged mining without reward?

Devs are doing a great job, if you don't like it you can always start your own coin.  And please count in how many posts you "demanded" a cap.

That is only temporary, because everybody was focused on reward schedule, POS/POW, or pumping and dumping.  Momentum (maybe I should call it love) is still there, one or two (non technical) events can make a big difference.

I believe AuxPOW has been decided, so what's the point of bringing up that issue again?  It will bring network security even if it is not perfect in every aspect.

What Doge needs is more users and more usage.  Current marketcap is around $13 million, so what do you think would happen to value of Doge if $50 million, or $200 million worth of Doge is spent every day?  If 100k users can't do it, prepare for a million or 10 million users, I believe potential for that exists.

As long as the community makes this coin, preserve and expand that community.  Do you think a typical shibe checks technical specs of the coin before joining the community?  I actually think technical discussion should be a part of a different subreddit and that might help (I only read reddit so I post it here).

I can imagine the price of doge going up and scrypt miners following (it happened once already), but I agree we need at least semi-permanent solution.  Since doge and ltc are both competing for same asics price swings on both coins could bring more fluctuations to hashrate.  I also believe there will be more than one fork in the next 5 years so devs do have the option to do something now and something else later if/when needed or when some yet unknown new solution appears.  All cryptos are still in beta including bitcoin, and even when we get out of beta changes will be needed over time.

There are pros and cons to just about every decision in life, those turns we take is what makes it interesting.

However, I can not imagine doge becoming irrelevant, even if it falls more it will rise again.  Why would relevance be tied to market cap alone, doge is more than market cap.

All we need is a little more consensus. Between auxpow and pos, I support auxpow for current situation, but I could also change my mind when I see something better in future.

I am open to both POW and POS, but POW is working for bitcoin from start, and POS is still young and needs validation over time (in sense of market sentiment and acceptance).  Is it worth to improve security with POS but at the same time introduce new (unknown at the time) risk factors?

One could argue that Bitcoin survives because of seniority, and seniority is the reason for Bitcoin acceptance, so why not?  Maybe Litecoin is boring because there is no Silk Road, there is no MtGox (that one was close), almost no lost and stolen coins.  Those are likely THE reasons Bitcoin ascended, and are no longer valid arguments, but they played the major parts of making it.  So, both Bitcoin and Litecoin are changing fundamentals, is that a bad thing?

All I see is that both BTC and LTC are growing up, older brother is still young, younger brother is even younger, and the other alts are babies.  BTC and LTC are innovations that are still not understood and/or used worldwide, and I'm still waiting for the next really useful mainstream innovative coin that survives longer than pump&dump (it will happen one day, of course, I'm not saying everything sucks).  And to have a good pump, energetic user base is created on newer coins when needed.

Can you absolutely guarantee that in 2140 bitcoin will still have a cap, or even exist?  I don't look that far ahead.  For me it's all about perspective, and in 2014 doge is growing faster than any other coin, whatever the current valuation is.  Some things will change in time for both BTC and doge, and I hope both live long and prosper, even if they go separate ways for different market segments.  That cap/no cap debate is completely unnecessary in this century.  Maybe my great-grandchildren will have to think about what that means, when we have 100 years of experience with crypto instead of 5.

Yeah, and because of that big volume in circulation panic selling is going on a little longer than with other cryptos.

It remains to be seen how low will it go, but doge will not die, because if doge dies the result for crypto world would be much worse than anything we witnessed so far (SR, mtgox, china).  I believe in doge :-)

Maybe I'm not a 100% shibe because I love doge and I care about the price at the same time.  For me it is because of hashrate, with the price drop there is also a hashrate drop.  I did buy at the higher level, but I can wait for a long time, so I only want doge to live forever.  Doge is different (not in technical sense), if nothing else from all this we will see how powerful and/or smart is doge community.  I would like very much if creativity would produce a solution that is different, not just pick from scrypt/n/x11/pow/pos/merge stuff, that is old :-)

It doesn't have to change user base type, it just needs more shibes to achieve the same thing, and it's doing great.  May not be the best analogy (not sure if it is accurate), but will use it to make a point: people drink wine but more people drink beer, some drink both.  Wine is more expensive but more beer is consumed both in quantity and fiat value 

From what I read here and on reddit there are plenty of doge investors, but mostly younger with much smaller stakes than a typical BTC or LTC investor.  That means doge needs larger user (and investor) base to match or beat their numbers in fiat sense.  Bitcoin community is growing, too, and to keep or improve the position doge needs to continually outperform in user numbers.  I do believe doge user base is growing much faster than BTC or LTC user base, and if you combine that with more halvings, demand will definitely grow.  As for supply, it is probably already more dependent on spenders/holders/traders than mining rewards, so near term supply might be harder to predict.

Of course, there are plenty more parameters, this is just one of them.

To da moon!

It all depends, I believe new users coming as a result of donation(s) buy more doge than the amount sold for that donation.
When it actually helps someone there are also good feelings and long term image benefits.

For businesses to use bitcoin as a mainstream payment gateway, it's value (market cap) and liquidity is far from sufficient, however large it might seem.  If it reaches stability too early and too low it will not be able to achieve that purpose.  That is why I believe it will be mostly speculative for a few more years, and hopefully increase in value a lot more before it stabilizes.

Just my noob opinion.

Is there a user base history (or number of addresses with non-zero balance)?
It could be interesting to see how fast (or slow) it grows, or cross reference with price over time.

Which operating system(s) will be supported by GPU miner?  Binary or source?

Sorry if I missed it, didn't find info.

Profit per day is closer to 140% in the last 24 hours (compared to mining ltc) instead of advertised 181% (at the moment).
Maybe orphans are counted in the add?
