[ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.10.0

[Dogecoin]

hi guys
is there a trusted electrum wallet for doge?

I have found this but it doesn't look trustworthy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=893092.0

I know about multidoge but I want something more light than that.


Thanks

There was an Electrum client, however its developers abandoned it and for now Multidoge is the recommended light client.

They don't even list Bitcointalk as a community and they launched here.  

Meant to come back to this earlier - right hand side of the page, under "Other Dogecoin Pages"

1.8.3 is release-ready, but we've been holding off on actually formally releasing it until we have confirmation of the security changes in Bitcoin Core, to avoid a risk of getting everyone to upgrade to 1.8.3 and then having a 1.8.4 upgrade cycle. So, it's out there in a holding pattern, and as soon as we know, we'll hit the button or change it as needed.

1.10 is making good progress, it's a total rebuild from Bitcoin Core 0.11, so have had to re-introduce all the Dogecoin parameters again. It now synchronizes fully, and release will primarily depend on when we're confident enough that it's stable.

There's architectural work going on to bitcoinj, in order to replace the dogecoinj library with a lightweight wrapper. This should enable Multibit HD to be readily adapted to Dogecoin, and that will fit into future strategy as the SPV client of choice.

uhh, there is not necessary to reinvent wheel or explore america.) multidoge is quite light, trustworthy and maintained by dogecoin core developer (https://github.com/langerhans), I don't think that dogecoin have better light wallet..

multidoge took 2 hours to load blockchain of one month (from february 2015 to march 2015). An electrum wallet takes only 10-15 seconds. That's why I wanted a light(er) version. It seems I will stick with multidoge.
By the way where is the path of the blockchain on windows 7 for multidoge?

thanks

Had forgotten how long it's been since an update with new checkpoints went out, that is a long sync for an SPV client. A replacement is on its way, but I'll see if we can get an interim update out for now.

Try %AppData%\MultiDoge\multidoge.spvchain for the blockchain file - don't have time right now to double check with the code, but that should be it.

thanks for the reply.
it's appdata\roaming\multidoge

well, now I have another question. The folder found to be around 7mb. Is it normal? For that much time of downloading I expected hundreds of MBs.
If it's "such" small it's OK with me

I'm not the main developer for Multidoge, but my understanding is that it contains block headers only (80 bytes per block), and only for blocks since the last hard-coded checkpoint, so it's a lot smaller than the full block chain. It's a similar size on my PC, anyway!

Auctioning off some physical Dogecoins and 100% is being donated to Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Bids accepted in DOGE of course, but Bitcoin primarily.

Dear User,

MAKE ATTENTION!

Cex.Io, after change the rules for exchange (at least you can exchange coins for 0,01 btc so far) …
Now change the way to withdraw Dogecoin and put a new limit!
(A VERY HIGH LIMIT!)
1.000.000 Dogecoin for make a withdraw = 0,66 btc (actually + or -)

Personally, I absolute dislike these rule's changes, that don't help to spread the use of btc to user, and don't help the "little user" to make some practice in exchange or in manage some coins.

Actually there are not more then 8500 dogecoin users, that can withdraw 1.000.000 dogecoin from this exchange.
We are so far, 6.000.000.000 of human in this planet, I think they have hard rules for be a member in their site, they don't like all human beings (lol).

I hope they didn't change again, because if they do the same trick with BTC they can reduce the number of user that can withdraw the funds , for the (hypothetic) 75% (people that own more than 0,66) !

Please MAKE ATTENTION when you have funds here on CEX.IO

I hope they can change these limits, to a normal value.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

Not right now... basically a few launched and then their respective devs got bored and wandered off, it's been a mess. At the moment a new reference client and Multidoge HD are the main priorities, but if anyone wants to take on updating one of the Electrum Doge clients, I'd be happy to provide guidance.

Hi dev,

May I know what is the exact format of the file 'multidoge.checkpoints'?

I thought it should be ProtocolBuffer but it gave me error when I tried to open it to add the latest checkpoints by myself.

It's a weird Multibit/Multidoge special. The code to read it's in https://github.com/langerhans/dogecoinj-new/blob/master/tools/src/main/java/com/dogecoin/dogecoinj/tools/BuildCheckpoints.java#L100

Suspect given the hash digesting going on, you'd more or less have to write a tool to update the file rather than it being possible by hand

Doge is a great coin. Price of the coin dont matter, its the use for it that makes it good. Im holding some and have just started to trade with them with good profit.

I have seen people borrowing Doge to dump the price down. Soon they will have to buy back. Going to be intersting to see if they can manage to do that in time.

What is the max coins for doge?


static const CAmount MAX_MONEY = 10000000000 * COIN; // Dogecoin: maximum of 100B coins (given some randomness), max transaction 10,000,000,000


in amount.h is showing 10B but comment says 100B...

Or did they change it to constant inflation without a max?

constant inflation without a max.. I support the idea.  Keeps the miners mining.

You can also regenerate fees and then have a max cap... miners will get fees and no inflation after cap. No coins burned.

The maximum in amount.h is only enforced on a single transaction, and exists to keep the number of coins in a single transaction below 2^64. At some point we'll add a 72 bit integer (64 bits + 8 bit overflow) to handle the full maximum quantity and enable someone to move 10 billion coins at once if they actually have them, but it's not really considered a priority.

constant inflation without a max.. I support the idea.  Keeps the miners mining.

DOGE is merge mined and requires no addition energy in order for miners to secure the network.  

There is no cap on DOGE.  There will be 5,250,000,000 new coins per year for ever with the current set up.  They are given away to SCRYPT miners for free.

The max number of DOGE you can move in one transaction is 10 billion.  It used to be 1 billion until Dooglus of Doge-dice missed a 0 and moved a few billion coins causing a fork.

If I understand... this address could belong to a attacker:

Wow, well at least I know where all the money is now. The network would simply refuse if they tried to move that much Doge in one transaction (technically, it would not be considered a standard transaction and would not be submitted to mempool, and the entire block rejected if they had a miner mine it directly). It's a good point though, raising the transaction max is a hard fork...
