There are reports that the dogecoin blockchain is forked. Probably best to avoid any transfers until resolved.

There was a fork in January too, so a number of people know that although serious it is hardly life threatening. I don't think Dogecoin is any more vulnerable to this than any coin that uses a blockchain.

Doge will suffer from forks because people will try to fork it to double spend. It will be easier and easier with the block reward halving and hashrate halving every 2 months. One big try there was approx. 3 weeks ago, when doge hashrate doubled twice for few minutes.

That's a 51% attack though right. Smaller coins are more susceptible to this than large coins. |

Yup but smaller coins are not valuable enough and spread up enough to lure haters, ddosers, and another vermin.

Thanks for the heads up. I wondered what was causing the price to crash. Glad I was mining Vertcoin today  |

That is not by anyone's definition a "crash". it hit 199 actually I'm looking at the graphs right now, and I don't see where it hit 199. The lowest ask was 202, and the lowest close 205. We're not sitting back at 223. |

It went from approx 225 to approx 200. That's a greater than 10% drop and would meet most peoples definition of a crash. Having said that, cryptos are highly volatile so a 10% drop is far from unusual. I saw a big red bar on coinedup and just wondered what was up. |

*disclaimer*i read the reddit post on this, otherwise i know nothing*
the problem is many pools are still using version 1.4.x and below that uses BerkeleyDB, the wallet has been upgraded to Version 1.5.x which uses LevelDB
the problem will continue, occasionally, until most/all pools figure out how to switch to 1.5.x
if miners favor the pools that switched to 1.5.x, it might incentivize the 1.4.x pools to get it figured out and upgrade
