Agree. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are only beginning to make strides in the mainstream world. Once they become big and capable of handling all the world's payments, government might want to step in and try to destroy the whole blockchain ecosystem. Certain countries like China have already acted against Bitcoin by banning exchanges, ICOs, and most recently, Bitcoin mining. It will be only a matter of time before the banksters and other governments see Bitcoin as a potential threat to their centralized economic system, and do everything within their power to try and stop it.

Of course, this may seem almost impossible since Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rely on nodes and miners distributed all around the globe. To be able to completely stop blockchain systems like Bitcoin, they would need to stop every single node and miner on the planet. So, in this regard, Bitcoin and other blockchain systems may become completely indestructible as more people join them towards making them stronger than ever.

Nevertheless, only time will tell what will happen with the future of Bitcoin and the government. Just my opinion

It says "Importing blocks..." and continues from where it stopped, but it is incredibly slow. Probably going to take several days at least. I'm running it in a virtual machine (as some other altcoins), but it is still too slow.

What is the expected probability/percentage of staking?

It may sound strange, but I have found about this coin only yesterday. Fortunately, I have found an old wallet.dat backup from the times I used the full BTC client (no bitcoins there anymore). Importing worked and I've got some Clams, but the client cannot sync. First it became stuck on some old block (almost three years ago). I have downloaded the blockchain from cryptochainer.com, and now the client just writes 'out of sync' and does nothing (but it shows 19 active connections to the Clam network). Of course, stacking does not work.

Does this coin still have active dev team? Their GitHub page does not work https://github.com/Rimbit, Forum is also gone.

Can somebody please help what is going on here?

A LOT of new people are getting into crypto. A LOT. Hearing about the "Bitcoin Millionaires" who bought Bitcoin at a couple cents, and want in on the action. They see that all these coins are expensive, and will go towards all the cheaper currencies. Such as DOGE, etc. In theory, all crypto that is easily accessible will inevitably blow up in the next 3-12 months. Lot of people are going for DOGE, as it is unique, and shows promising data.

DOGE doesn't seem to be a good long-term investment project, but more speculative, so it's dangerous. I won't invest in this project

Merry Christmas everyone!

etr_bit_talk: Be patient with the transaction.. if you see remain stuck inform your exchanger.

I'm waiting confirmation from pools but until know no one reply's(its Christmas!). Soon, will respond!

Also, from last night the network almost doubled in hash rate power!
The last 2 days is impossible for my APU to give share in any pool!
We are growing!!

As of now, there are no "descomunal fees". The mempool is down to the 100 Sat/b backlogs, so anyone paying over 140 sat/B or 200 sat/B is either overpayin g fees or he/she just wants the transactions confirmed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the average joe doesn't know how to set fees and he goes along with whatever fees Coinbase or any other exchanges says.

Good news is the mempool should be back to normal in the next few days. So, be patient, you'll be be able to send your 5 sat/B transactions very soon.

Cool, you are back, too. What do you think about integrating gambling into the blockchain itself, with the possibility to create and destroy coins by gambling?
