High or low price, Dogecoin is being USED.

Here is a countdown timer for those that are interested:

Developer support is present: http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoindev/comments/289ki5/okay_lets_talk_proofofstake/cidfpj8

Dogecoin community support seems to be present for the switch to non-vanilla PoS.

Discussion on when this should occur is ongoing, but the latest time would be at the static block rewards near the end of 2014.

This would be a major transition for Dogecoin.

[unmerge]

Would any SCRYPT coins like to merge-mine with Dogecoin?

I know the Dogecoin devs are completely open to supporting this idea and are working with Tacocoin at the moment on this issue.


I am just here to bring up the topic for discussion. We just passed 0.5 TH/s of hashrate power globally between all the altcoins, and the potential for a 51% attack, however likely or unlikely, is increasing.


Here, in the entire thread, is a good discussion on merged mining from the creater of Litecoin:http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/22niq9/merged_mining_amafaq/

His comments in the thread are very informative.  This should answer most questions. You can even unmerge at a later point.


As for the questions of why merge mine with Dogecoin instead of Litecoin? That it totally up to the each coin's community to decide by weighing the potential of each coin and choose.  The Dogecoin community has discussed Litecoin's offer and has decided to a wait a few more halvings to make a final decision.

Would love to hear your opinions either way!
