Here's a post from one of those noobs. He/She (GoodShibe) writes a daily post entitled. "of Wolves and Weasels". If any other alt-coin had such individuals and such a community, I would surely have been a member a long time ago.
This is what she/he is writing about:

Hey All, GoodShibe Here!
I stepped away for like, what 3, maybe 4 hours last night?
I figured I should take a break, I've been on /r/Dogecoin far too much. I should spend some time with the family. Maybe get something to eat. Maybe see what's on TV - my PVR's like 95% full thanks to you guys, 'cause, yeah, I haven't been watching much of that as of late.
And in that time, not only did you put together a Donation thread you went and had them FUNDED in just under 3 hours.
Shiva Keshavan, Himanshu Thakur and Nadeem Iqbal are going to the Olympics now, because of you.
Their hard work, sacrifice, blood and tears will not be in vain.
Because of you.
It doesn't matter that their own Government doesn't believe in them.
You do.
Man, I love this community.
I love that, more and more, we're making our mark as truly a Global community of Shibes.
You know, it's funny how it all sort of blends together on the internet, but especially here on /r/Dogecoin. It's easy to forget that behind each name is a person, quite possibly in a whole other part of the world from us. It's easy to forget that each and every one of us has our own problems and pains and hardships.
And yet, here, in this sub, it seems - more and more - that behind the aliases and the Comic Sans there are no nation lines, people just get along.
I don't know why I haven't realized this earlier but, even after this fantastic work by the community, we don't seem to have a lot of bragging on this sub, you know?
Like, when someone mentions what country they're from, it comes up like an aside; Not with any of the usual, I don't know, pride, or fist-pumping that we usually associate with Internet Nationalism.
Do you know what I mean?
I feel like because we're a community here we have less of a need to define ourselves by the community we're from. And, for some reason, that just blows my mind.
I'm really trying not to break down into fits of hyperbole but... I've been on the net a long time. I remember when simply being able to 'chat' with someone online from another country was a mind-blowing experience. I remember how exciting it was - this idea that sitting there, at my desktop computer, I was communicating with -- having fun, exciting conversations with -- people a world away, that I would probably never meet, but somehow felt a connection to. People I would see every day, share stories with -- people that I would look forward to talking to.
I feel that excitement here. In this sub. Pretty much every day.
Like we are a part of something. Maybe something much bigger than we can ever truly know.
But, every once and a while, I feel like we get glimpses of it. That big thing.
Like how things... should be.
I mean, doesn't this just feel right? Like this is how the world should operate?
We see something wrong, we all come together to fix it. To make it right.
And we can. And we do.
Together.
I apologize if this just comes off like me rambling like a loon, I had a whole other post planned for today, but you all just went and changed everything.
In 3 hours.
Well freaking done, all.
It's 8:48AM EST, we're at 39.41% of DOGEs found. Our Global Hashrate is spiking from ~79 to ~99 Gigahashes per second and our Difficulty is holding steady at ~1206.
I don't know how long our Global Hashrate will be spiking for today, but if you can manage it, hit the mines while you can. The Halving is just over 2 weeks away.
As always, I appreciate your support!
GoodShibe
PS: for those that donated to the Bell Lets Talk Day thread, yesterday, please pop on by and see the news -- turns out that Bell's not taking donations directly for it (or if they are, I can't reach anyone who knows how to make it happen), so I've put forward a couple of options for Mental Health charities (that Let's Talk will be supporting) that we can donate to in the spirit of Let's Talk Day. Come by and voice your opinion. Also: Dogetipbot seems like it's still backed up as I'm still waiting on about 30K+ of tipped Donations (I've got you all added to a chart, documenting who gave what) to come through. I've been in touch with /u/Mohland so, it appears it's all about the waiting at this point.
