I am sending to an exchange... but point is the transactions are not appearing on the blockchain at all. And yes I am including a message as well, I had some funds successfully show up in my exchange account, but these other transactions are simply not going through >< it's been hours I'm so frustrated.


also, how long do your transactions take to change from "Pending" to "X confirmations"?  Is it pretty much instant for you or less than 1 minute?

Does anyone else suffer from extremely slow transaction confirmations? I am moving XEM via the main wallet. I was moving over 1M XEM, with a fee of 150 XEM, it didnt happen within an hour so it cancelled itself. Then I raised the fee to 500 XEM, again no confirmations in nearly an hour.


I also tried to test send a small transaction, 50 XEM, with a 4 XEM fee. This too is reaching an hour with no confirmations.

I did have a successful transaction go through earlire today with a 10 XEM fee.

Anyone know what's wrong or how to fix this?

If you have resources for which please share, so are all those public/community stakes?

Also, who controls the top 3 wallets? They have about 26% of all NEM in them. See http://blockexplore.in/search/richlist/

and the "Post-V1 Fund - 400 - Fund stakes"  and "Pre-V1 Fund - 250 - Fund stakes," does anyone control these? These ones have about 16% of all NEM.

This whale that is buying up all the NEM- which wallets are his? I can’t find them on the richlist

This is a good idea, besides that, can we have an update? Thank you for your relentless good work

I just came here to say its epic how you are keeping your 3 year old thread rolling, its pretty badass really. Feels good, good times

Posting an update that dogecoin hashrate has now actually passed litecoin's
http://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/hashrate-ltc-doge.html

Nobody is "behind" it, it is decentralized the same way as bitcoin. Maybe some people seek to represent it, and if they don't do a good job I assure you there is no community that will handle it better that dogecoin.

Furthermore, instead of nitpicking a few questionable apples why not look at the community as a whole. Go on the dogecoin reddit page right now and soak in the positive vibes that are virtually always there. In bitcoin's reddit, for example, there's far more negativity and cold demeanors there-- and if there's anything I've learned in nearly a decade of sales it's that good vibes, and feeling good SELLS, it's like having gold in your pocket that everyone wants and wants to be around. On the otherhand, being negative or being a downer significantly hurts ones ability to sell and people generally don't want to be around that (as it generally takes value rather than gives value)

And finally, yes I am a value investor, you seem to have skimmed over the significant points and nit-picked weaknesses. Nothing and nobody is perfect, and nothing and nobody will ever be.

I see what your saying and I definitely do think that time is coming. But alas, I want to keep this conversation focused on Dogecoin and bitcoin to avoid getting too off topic.

There is no limit as there is a fixed ~5% inflation rate per year, which it pretty much its rate of inflation now.

Scrypt coin's hashrates are increasing at around the same rate as bitcoin's, I don't see any fading away on this chart do you?:
http://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/hashrate-ltc.html

Blockchain size is on a steady trend of tripling about every year. For reference, a year ago it was 100kb. Based on this trend, in about a year, bitcoin will be in a serious situation (as during peak times, block size's can very well be maxed out), unless it does a hardfork. This is a serious concern thats why Gavin brought it up and suggested a hardfork.


http://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/size-btc.html

At this point ASIC miners have dominated scrypt. You can't mine litecoin or Dogecoin with a GPU miner anymore the same way you can't mine bitcoin with them.

Dogecoin is not bound to litecoin, it is only bound to the scrypt algorithm and offers opportunity to any major coin mining the scrypt algorithm. A better way of looking at it is- every smart pool that mines for BTC, also mines for namecoin. Why? They have nothing to lose and gain a little extra.
The same applies for mining Dogecoin while mining for litecoin.

One important note that (that favors Dogecoin) is that, if Dogecoin ever supercedes litecoin, litecoins hashrate can fall and it can die out. This can never happen to Dogecoin as long as there are scrypt miners (as anyone mining script can also try to solve Dogecoin's block and thereby also be mining Doge, increasing its hashrate and securing its network)

Dogecoin is actually merge mined with litecoin. So anyone mining scrypt for just litecoin, will be missing out if they are not merge mining for doge.
Yeah litecoin's price is 5x higher, which shouldnt be the case anymore seeing as how our community is stronger, and our network is stronger than litecoin's (we can merge mine with any scrypt coin, they cant (unless they hard fork, which will be difficult for them to do).

I posted this thread here because its a speculative thread, and my target audience is this group "speculation," not the yik yak of a million other alt coins talking about non-speculative topics.

Dogecoin's inflation at this point is lower than bitcoin's.

Just sayin.
The network is as strong (actually stronger) than litecoin's now.
87k members.
Consistently doing about 1/4 - 1/3 the transaction volume of bitcoin.
And dogecoin will move up far faster than bitcoin can. ($27m market cap vs $5b).

And not to mention, bitcoin's max block size of 1mb is nearly reached (currently around 300kb per block), Dogecoin's is 10kb (largely because it gets 10 blocks for every 1 of bitcoin's (1 minute blocks). This is an important issue, Gavin (a lead bitcoin dev) was suggesting a hardfork just for this.

I'm a value investor, if I felt there was greater value in bitcoin (especially in the time frame of the next year or 2), I would prefer to hold bitcoin.

I used to hate dogecoin too, basically just spiting them for being a "meme coin" (who would take a meme coin seriously right?)
But in the past year, the community has proven to be extremely friendly, and extremely effective at coming together and doing things larger than bitcoin (nascar, olympics, doge4water, etc).

And just to boot, Dogecoin has been around nearly a year now and has passed the test of time.

Do yourself a favor and research it, look at the fundamentals, seriously. do it.


Edit: one final thought. I think in the future, we will be able to chose what currencies we use based on what we support and believe. (and perhaps most coins will be issued by companies/organizations, and we chose to use their currency based on its values matching ours). Anyway the point is, Dogecoin represents kindness, friendliness, tipping/sharing. It's the type of community I want to be involved and, and I do believe, that many in the future will want to be involved with too as soon as they discover it (when it starts taking off next time and attracts a large amount of attention).

That was crazy to watch - the last 10k or so bitcoins of the 30k wall got eaten up within 5 minutes

The question still is, why would a manipulator sell 30k on bitstamp

I dont understand why you have so much trouble understanding this, not only is it logical that the exponential growth pattern slows over time (and not to mention, its INEVITABLE as the price will clearly not continue booming once adoption and usage is saturated (indeed then there will be massive competition) -- again not only is it logical, it is how the bitcoin growth pattern has functioned- we will probably never see the massive 100 fold or more increases a year again (but thats what was going on at the beginning),


heres a very crude depiction of the kind of decaying growth I'm trying to explain:
