Dogecoin improvements in the future

[Abiky]

If Dogecoin were to be taken seriously instead of a "meme" coin, what features would you suggest for Dogecoin to become a worthy crypto in the future?

Here's some of my suggestions:

1. Limit supply of DOGE to 25 million coins

2. Make it a hybrid coin with PoW and PoS.

I completely disagree with the limited supply.  This minimum payout gives miners a reason to keep mining.

Doge is #4.. (I don't count ripple)..

1. Doge originally had a limit, but it was decided this was to be removed to encourage mining

2. Absolutely retarded, would most like cause to the price to sink like a stone.

Dogecoin's 15 seconds are over. It's practically worthless now. Was created as a joke, so shall it die a joke.

I think that the Doge would no longer grow

#2.. really?  I didn't think that was that bad of an idea..  why don't you like that idea?

I figure don't change it if it ain't broken but ya.

1. Limit supply of DOGE to 25 million coins

Ironically, Dogecoin would be the choice of Milton Friedman since he argues for sustained 2-4% supply increase to match GDP growth.  Since there are likely more Bitcoins lost than gold or USD lost per year, due to strong encryption and other variables, the 4% is not that bad of a choice.

I personally would aim for the inflation to only replace the number of lost coins myself, which would probably be something like 1-2%.  This assumes the amount of lost coins is high initially, but decreases a lot once the coins have value.

Well, I think that if supply is limited, the price could skyrocket. The main reason that DOGE is so undervalued is because of current supply. Just my opinion

1. Err, there's slightly over 100 billion coins out there already, that might be tricky (I mean impossible) to do. Also we'd then literally be Bitcoin with a dog on it.
2. PoS still has the issue that it encourages exchanges to keep coins online (to stake them), and makes the "mining" asset (coins instead of hardware) trivially and anonymously movable. See the issues with Vericoin being essentially destroyed by the Mintpal hack, and NXT barely escaping a similar fate with Bter.

The plan, as always, is to be an adoption coin. We're not here to make anyone rich (I mean, sure, some people might, but Doge's never going to make me rich, certainly), we're here to be friendly, easy to pick up, easy to get, and to push the technology out to more people. Immediate priority is the Dogecoin Core 1.10 (based on Bitcoin Core 0.11, so you get blockchain pruning, headers-first downloads, etc. etc.), then HD wallets to make it easier for people to handle wallet backups (and ties neatly into the at least two hardware wallets planning Dogecoin support).

Dogecoin is enough popular, so it will have future. With more and more sites, Dogecoin can expand worldwide

I'm just wishing that I could buy stuff from Amazon or Ebay with Dogecoins. That would just be great for me

A lot of people left the dogecoin world when they removed the money cap. I think it was dumb decision.

hmm ur own number 2) is a good analysis of ur own point 1)

weird thing is could they have changed it if nobody used the new wallet? i'm not sure why all the doge miners/users went for it.

1. You mean 25 million new coins per year?  Way too low.  You can argue that the current 5 billion per year is too high, and maybe it is, but DOGE wasn't supposed to be the hoarding coin.  DOGE was supposed to be the fun coin where everyone could feel rich.  It goes against the spirit in which it was created.

2.  As long as LTC network is healthy and stable, there is no value in adding POS.  I am blatantly shilling here, but if you are interested in a version of DOGE that you can stake, check out LiteDoge https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1077390.0  It has a rocky past but it is cheap at 2 satoshis, staking is highly rewarding, and it still has a small but dedicated community.

A large part of the value of any alt is its community but when it comes to DOGE, community is and always was 100% of what it had going for it.  Adding new features or monkeying with its technical specifications isn't going to boost it's value.  It's a meme coin.  The problem with memes is that most of them die eventually.  DOGE is still hanging around, but it remains to be seen if it will grow, or if more people will decide it's not fun anymore and head for the door.

I will give LiteDoge a try! They're extremely cheap. The only thing I don't get is how many coins are required for staking? Or is it that I could start staking with any amount? Thank you for sharing this info. 

[Abiky]

About the minimum coins required for staking LiteDoge, I've found it. Just got too lazy to look over the official website. Going to start buying some LiteDoge and see how good it goes for me.

Dogecoin should limit its coin supply.
At first people were excited about the huge number of coins. Now people are requesting for smaller number of coins for it to be more credible.

[tyz]

As you already mentioned, POS feature and limitation of coin amount would be a good start. Further, there should be something like a in-wallet stock exchange. DOGE should use its popularity to bring people, investors and startup founders to ask for capital through crowdfunding over the blockchain.

Hope for a new and faster NASCAR
