Discussion on https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoindev/ are good imho (I do moderate that sub).

Here is also a cool alternative to OP_RETURN messages to store data (haven't gave this a try myself yet): https://opreturn.net/p2shdata/

That is ture... unfortunately I joined to late (:

If you are into the tech stuff you can try https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoindev/

I do moderate that sub, so I am a bit bias... but this is where I look out for most news or get in touch with the devs (:

You can't mine meaningful with a PC/server. Your CPU or GPU won't give you a good hash rate on scrypt and you will never exceed the payout threshold on any pool or find a block mining solo.

If you are only here because you want to learn about mining, you can get cpuminer up and running on the testnet like I described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/mtjbpb/solo_merged_mining_doge_and_ltc_local_cpu_and_asic/

Do you plan to have an API for this? I'd love to schedule a python or anything alike to do the "turn off" and combine it with an electricity timer for my power supply.
