Hello everyone,

I'm announcing DogKong v2, an experimental cryptocurrency I developed.
It's NOT an investment — it's a learning/hobby project.

Hi Sparks60,

You need to install pycryptodome:

pip install pycryptodome

If pip is not installed:

sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install pycryptodome

After that:

python3 dogkong_v2.py

If you want the standalone executable (Windows only), download here:
https://github.com/marquesslim-hue/DOGKONG/releases/latest

For Linux, you need the source + pycryptodome + tkinter:
sudo apt install python3-tk

Let me know if it works!

here is way i got it to work in xubuntu 26

Solution 1: Use a Virtual Environment (Recommended)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-venv
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install pycryptodome
sudo apt install python3-tk
python3 dogkong_v2.py

i am still mining.
are there any plans for a discord?

[Sparks60]

i need to report some findings, i have a server with 8  separate vm nodes all running xubuntu 26 and mining , and some of the nodes is forking off main chain and losing blocks, as pulling way ahead of main chain. only way i can fix it is stop node, delete all chain data, and start over, and having to do this often. is there not some sort of fork protection?

DogKong v2 update: transactions now require 6 confirmations before being spendable (was 1).

More security, more stability.

Set up your PC to mine. Unfortunately, your 8 VMs won't work — you know why.

That's great! While you're at it, invite more people to join the network and mine—the more, the better the network becomes.
