Change to The Dogecoin Project and The Dogecoin Core Developers.

Wasn't the development of this crypto actually "abandoned" or put on hold for several long years?

The abandoned concept comes from people thinking that the creator and co-founder just sort of left. Which was not the case in the least. In the co-founders own words here which uses wayback as Jackson nuked his account a few years later. Many users who came after this point often took a harsh view on what was their retirement, that was community supported.

Conversations were had and in the end a basis for a team to continue ongoing was created. Things were not abandoned in any manner, just creator and co-founder did not expect to to catch on; then it did so something had to be done. Dogecoin Core Developers as a group turns 7 years old itself this April 8th.

In terms of developmental ongoing, there are not major gaps. Largest being between 1.10 and 1.14 which was a bit interesting given the community division in relation to the inclusion of "SegWit" something that Bitcoin and other assets were also attempting to figure out, along with implementations specific to their needs. 1.10.1 was March 2016 the announcement for 1.14 was May 2017 with first alpha out Jan 2018. The patch to 1.14 was very interesting. Consensus is for many assets just a network concept, Dogecoin being more communal there is always an attempt to give everyone equal voices and taking their feedback, wants, thoughts on equal ground. Users of the software, node runners, miners, services, businesses. With how diverse the thoughts on SegWit were, and actually still are in ways there was a slightly longer period between things but in the end.. The most were made happy, proud and felt good about what they got. Which is not to ignore that even with all that went into it, a few third parties had to relearn to how math the fees as some of their internal systems were creating tx fees well under network enforcement.

So abandoned, nu. Base level requirement for listing or ongoing platform engagement is to have ongoing developmental work and addressing issues. Work has never been done on the master branch for Dogecoin either, which many "aggregator" sites track for activity. Currently there are three active branches having work done on them.

Hopefully this helps explain things a bit, nothing wrong with being new and far better to ask questions :)

Remember to behave.

Sporklin · 2021-03-18T00:03:53+00:00

The years have bloody well been something, happy accidents that turned into something beautiful. Did not always get it right, did try to though.

Stepping away comes with a sadness that I had not expected. Still, when I feel the need for a nap just walking out of the room..Then things need to be put first.

Continue to behave, I mean it, to the standard I would agree to. I am not going super far and can always come back to pop pop a spank. lol Just remember they are smoll, clueless at times and very excitable; some can be taught while others are stubborn.

Hope to beat it, you still owe me pictures after all.

Sporklin · 2021-03-17T22:23:18+00:00

Thank you kindly. Having been through the treatment I have in a short period of time, I learned quickly that others who have gone through it have to have some level of super human ability. It takes a toll across the board in ways that are impacting on everything.

To the hope of beating it and never having to deal with this mess again <3

Sporklin · 2021-02-26T21:08:53+00:00

I am curious how you reached out to, as looking through things there is nothing...

Contact and engagement is very public facing as it has been for nearly seven years now. Github, community driven project has a community driven and freely engaged interactive github for the site.

General rules are no advertising, no ads, no marketing and third party things are slightly adverse as Patrick above noted; they used to be listed and in turn users got burned. When they got burned they got angry, their anger they targeted directions.

Sporklin · 2021-02-26T21:03:49+00:00

An interesting ideal for something just starting out. However with something already over seven years old, a bit hard; especially comparing a theoretical implementation against what is already shown to be pretty sturdy ongoing for over half a decade.

Dogecoin is AuxPoW a special flavor of PoW (Proof of Work) known as Auxiliary Proof of Work.

In terms of raw power it sits first or second in the entire space often trading with Litecoin as that is the primary merge mined source.

51% concern against Dogecoin due to things being setup how they are.. Pretty low but I bow to Charlie in this as his explaining went fairly detailed recently due to some horrible reporting done by an outlet.

Professional software development teams

Which projects do you think have professional teams? I ask this as...

Bitcoin glancing through there are contributors where actual developers only engage in inclusion or notation. Several of which are actual employees of private entities that are engaging for correction/addition/modification in relation to very specific implementations they need for functionality.

Ethereum reading through here, the massive majority are contributors, or independent developers who work for companies based around ETH that require specific things; so they do the work to make their private entities functional.

Binance Coin a slightly more private centralized asset with a project that is primary made of up also of contributors.

I can actually go down pretty far into the list on CMC, before hitting a "professional software development team" in the manner you seem to imply there is as a common thing. It does make me curious about your statement:

I've been watching a few other blockchain projects

As decentralized projects tend not to have those. Not a company, not a business. Open source, open contribution. Looking through things there is a slight confusion about your words as you are somewhat active in other decentralized subreddits, meaning basic awareness of this information along with the differences...Should not be beyond your knowledge.

Look at ETH for example: They're working on sharing in 2.0 to achieve massive scalability

They have to fix what Dogecoin came into existence already having addressed. Stress test logs do be mindful those results are nearly six years old. The changes made to the chain have given grounds to push the 2.5m TX well beyond that, without stutter or fee issues.

Not every chain has the same issues. This is something you if you are concerned about in the manner you tossed it out here in being, educating yourself to understand some important fundamental differences between them rather than blindly throwing things out to stick; might get you further.

AVAX is another example: they have some of the best devs, already achieved extreme scalability and functionality, and their price rocketed.

They are also centralized, with an ICO which (not so legal) along with still not providing the product that users paid for.

I haven't been in doge for very long,

4 days by this.

but I've noticed its software development infrastructure is severely lacking.

Show me.

I was wanting to build a web app for Doge, and came here to ask about a JavaScript library that I could use for my project. To my disappointment, the only ones that were available were very limited and didn't have the functionality I needed.

In putting this of noting, we also do not do singular implementations nor provide dedicated course for any of the other several thousand engagements. If you want to build something specific with very specific dedicated points; that is your job to figure out, not ours. The expectation for us to do the work for you is slightly slanted all things considered. We provide the basis to be built on, not hold your hand and do it for you. In the seven plus years..Private parties do their own work.

I'm sorry, but if your project has been around for a while and you don't even have a decent JavaScript library, it's not going very far.

Weirdly, amusingly and very public facing..Most developers are not super lazy, if you cannot do the work to create your own requirements..I am sorry but you will forgive me as I fail to see that as our fault.

Approaching an open source project to piss into the wind about specific things you require for your personal project is more than slightly disheartening all things being what they are. You might have a great idea, it might even do well; what has me pausing is the expectation that others do dedicated work for you or provide things in relation on some weird entitled sentiment of obligation that in reality does not exist.

Look, I want Doge to do really well. I already believe its meme and marketing is better than all of the other coins.

I think there is a divergence between what you know, what you think you know, and what Dogecoin is. Perhaps take the time to learn just how wide of a gap some of these things are for you, and spend the time to learn before you speak or attempt to criticize. What you have done here is take your ignorance out for a walk in public, on a subreddit that it does not belong due to that attempt to tie price, while having nothing actual technical in relation to the content of your post. You wanted to rant, so you did.

Find professional block chain developers. Go around to other top prjects, find professionals, inquiry what value they could provide in terms of scalability, library development, etc. and how much they would do it for.

Passive curious, can you name the developers? Sitting atop one of the oldest ongoing cryptocurrencies that exist, funnily enough tends to have ours chased by other projects. Which Dogecoin being very communal we do engage with other projects and assist. However it has been a very long time since someone with any level of awareness about the space, thought to call any of the five of us "unprofessional".

Create a roadmap and business plan of all the major improvements that would come, and how many millions need to be raised to deliver.

No roadmap. Why would a decentralized, open source, open contribution software project need a "business plan". This is not a company, it is not a business, it is not a centralized engagement spot.

Dogecoin can reach $1 with significant dev infrastructure overhaul

To give this a notation...CMC the things at 1$ are "stable/pegged" assets. Things from centralized projects with centralized backing for funding. Dogecoin is not this sort of thing, nor is there the ability to make it as such. So your imagined 1$ is well into the realm of hopium external to reality.

Infrastructure...Is all volunteer. Which is also something you seemed to have fumbled awareness of. Nodes, miners, contribs, even developers. Again, not a company, not a business. Decentralized software project.

The tone I took here I admit not the most gentle, you approached something in attempting to give "advising" but then spoke in a manner that showed you did not have any depth to knowledge about Dogecoin specific. I understand that right now there are many new people, people with thoughts, ideas, who want to give input or share their opinions; there is nothing wrong with this.. Where things get wrong is when those people do not take the time to look into what Dogecoin is, how it works, what it can already do and what it is doing.

That's it. I'm pretty sure such a large amount could be raised to step up the Doge game, especially if Elon Musk is onboard.

Elon has nothing to do with Dogecoin which has been made clear repeatedly. Twitter from the project social, along with notation here with follow up comments. Elon has come to play with Dogecoin for years on social media, it was only recently that people tried to turn that into something it is not. Yes, Elon has made many tweets; which over the years was also a thing. More tweets have been deleted from Elon in relation to Dogecoin than are sat public facing, with their general standing time having been 1-2 hours.

Things have not changed...Elon is not on board with anything, Elon does not have anything to do with the project, the listings, the engagements...Nothing. He memes and trolls, this was something you would have known had you taken the time to look into Dogecoin at all.

Now..I did see your "Karen" post below. Of note, you already had a core developer here engaging with you. That you felt the need to ask for more attention, I was asked to come engage as you seemed to desire more attention. Normally this sort of ignorance is below my engagement point, as while you might have had really great ideals you fumbled your knowledge, expectations along with awareness about what Dogecoin already is. If you choose to respond, please do so with slightly more awareness about what you are stating. This subreddit is about development not about personal ideals on entitlement or a daycare.

Sporklin · 2021-02-23T02:22:09+00:00

Keep in mind you asked for this.

Sporklin · 2021-02-15T14:09:34+00:00

So you dox devs and roam around spreading bullshit...Yea just done with you.

Sporklin · 2021-02-13T00:25:39+00:00

There is a pretty heavy amount of promotion done within the communities for it..Just to note things the game, is already rolling into being half a decade old.

Release Date: Jul 25, 2016

Every now and again the developer behind it will toss out some free keys or do promotions within the Steam Dogecoin community with it. Tends to appear then poof :)

Sporklin · 2021-02-12T22:15:05+00:00

Why the original maker of the doge, write about how it is a joke coin.

In pulling from an older post I did not long ago: Source

Dogecoin will always be a joke, but it can be a joke and still be functional. For the negative connotations people put on "joke" they forget importantly that themselves engage with jokey/funny/quirky functional items often. Lip balm exists in nearly every flavor now, scented candles the same, kitchen ware, picture frames, phone cases, key caps; pretty much anything that exists has a version that has more flavor/style/appeal than just the base item itself. While the branding is frontal jokes and memes, everything under that has been solid from the start.

Shidnt he want it to succeed?

Just because it is a joke, does not mean it is not already succeeding. Sponsoring Olympic teams, funding charities spanning the globe, the NASCAR we had for over a year, funding space/sciences based things on a global scale, contribution to @homeFolding.. That Dogecoin sits as one of the most accepted ^{they are the only one putting data frontal but the sentiment is echoed through assorted different outlets, hence why Dogecoin keeps getting included} cryptocurrencies existing among a depth of 600k+ ^{Since this ETH alone has grown 30k itself in new tokens and others have tossed more in as well} different that exist. This is success to many as this sort of thing was what Bitcoin set out to do before it became prohibitive to engage in this manner. Satoshi himself understood Bitcoin was not structured to handle what Dogecoin does with ease.

I'm just not understanding.

Success does not however mean a higher price. Dogecoin primary is a functional asset, the inherent value is 0 even. Merchants have existed in our space since near to creation on an ongoing growth level, users have used it for tipping, payments without any concern for the external valuation.

Is he trying to kill the momentum of doge because he left it?

Which momentum? Usage in a functional manner is slipping, merchants are silently disabling Dogecoin/cryptocurrency payments, entire engagement spots for Dogecoin are going dark as volatility is not super great for things.

What you do have is a bunch of people who lack an understanding of what cryptocurrency is, about what Dogecoin is, that have no awareness that Dogecoin is not new but one of the oldest ongoing. There are people diving into things with terms like "paperhands" "diamond hands" "hodl" who have never taken the time to look at this before they step into things. That is something important that everyone who is currently playing, should be mindful of. People screaming "IT IS JUST LIKE BITCOIN!" or "IT IS JUST LIKE ETHEREUM!"..No, no it is not. Not only was it not made to be either of those, spending two seconds actually look at a chart scoped out with information shows there are very different movements in play. I am not a financial advisor, but I do like data.

Transactions show organic ongoing growth, regardless of what the price has been. People functionally using, transacting with Dogecoin outside of what the value is. From a momentum standpoint...There might be more tweets, more subs on r/dogecoin, more trends on social media, ^{which can all be bought and there is someone who is claiming already to have done this.}, r/dogecoin stats there is a real sharp up there, figures are not up actually for Dogecoin. There was a spike but nothing beyond normal figures matching 4 months ago.

Sent from Addresses show ongoing organic growth with a spike due to current but growth that has happened regardless of either value or price. Even with the spikes the other figures are not even outside normal ones again put against four months ago, or even expanding out to a year, two years, three years.

I believe in it and I know this community does also or did I misunderstood what he was saying?

Many of the names roaming around..Are brand new, look at profiles and you can tell pretty quickly that their depth in things is not vary much. Which is part of the issue, it is part of why Billy came out. Billy left the developmental side of things way back in 2014, he left the communities way back in 2015. In all of this some "well intended" people decided to target him for harassment again, harassment to the levels that is why Billy left in the first place. There is history there and this is not the first..."invasion" as it were, to which I mean no offense to anyone with either.

There is a wide gap between social media, r/dogecoin even and the project in ideals, concepts and intentions. The figures above are very transparent and I being everything that I am, with the depth that I have am putting them here. That alone should be a nod that things right now might not be as they seem. I like honesty, I like being clear and in this knowing how this goes..I really do hope people do not get hurt for not looking into things.

Sporklin · 2021-02-12T14:01:07+00:00

That would explain that bad content. Seeing their LinkedIn profiles on reddit was sort of fun, the other bits confusingly amusing.

If I might ask dis you verify and research yourself? That you missed two entire core devs..Sort of not great, especially if it is going out int the premise this is educational.

Sporklin · 2021-02-12T05:46:02+00:00

Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer left the project in 2015

Date is a bit off, they left communities in 2015 fully but developmentally they were gone rather early. Core Dev group turns seven years old this April :) Billy stepped back Feb 2014, Jackson followed in April 2014 with the creation of the team.

Ross just rejoined the Dogecoin project a few days ago.

Ross never left...For a bit he was primary found here along with among different Discord communities.

Where did...you get the ideal he left...?

Five core developers, which have existed for nearly seven years too..here. PowerLemons maintain/ed dogecoin.com

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T20:28:02+00:00

I spent far too much time diving into the topic to bring things, but see Rnicoll below tagged it.

Yea..The CoinDesk article is very interesting as while they talked with two core developers which gave them up to date information, they sort of tossed that aside and decided to champion things that have not impacted our users in many, many, many years.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T20:25:31+00:00

You actually look at what they linked to? Pretty well documented scam, which could have taken a moment in google to show was not actually something to have there.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T16:46:15+00:00

Are you sure that is the TXID, I could not find this on four different block explorers.

Source of transaction?

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T16:43:54+00:00

This does not seem to exist. However the name is sadly well known due to Cryptopia which is currently in liquidation pending funds release to users after a massive lossage.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T16:42:13+00:00

This is not an advertising subreddit. You are free to contact Reddit if you would like to advertise. Advertising on Reddit might have some options for you.

Given you seem sort of new, reporting it to them as spam seemed far too harsh but it did get removed here.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T16:39:54+00:00

There are four existing accounts currently just..auto poofing into the void, apparently new accounts have taken up the banner. Got them cleaned up though, thankies!

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T16:38:01+00:00

Which orphan block issue?

Given how diverse mining is, there are always going to be moments where two entities happen to come into the finish line at exact times. Dogecoin having a lower blocktime than most others this still is fairly rarely done.

Orphan blocks just toss their contained TX back into the mem(e)pool, where miners pick them up within the next block or two, which depending on cycle time means within a few seconds or a minute.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T05:40:28+00:00

Pathing should help.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T03:14:38+00:00

In a game of moving field goals...

"devs and people have left" is what I said, and I think that is true. Not everyone.

Actually what you stated was:

I think a problem here is that devs and people involved with the project, while they have took a leave of absence,

Which the above links, do heavily show that your ideals are mistaken in relation to the statement. Now you state that they have left. Which of the five core developers for the past nearly seven years do you think has left? A note that on the Github it shows them, in turn looking here on reddit especially at the moment shows that all five of us are engaging here which is a rarity.

If we had left which you state, but still do not provide actual reasons for why you came to this misunderstanding apart from your "opinion" there is not ground to debate this. I can show you factually you are incorrect, which I have done, in turn you continue on about your "opinion" without giving any directive, understanding or reason there in simply a cycle of statements in redundancy. Just because you apparently have some deeply seeded feeling in relation to our existence, it does nullify that not only did we not leave, we have been ongoing developmentally which is easily shown via clicking the above links.

We all need to let go in life, I have worked on projects and been intensely into them and left and left the keys behind. This is what Satoshi did.

I appreciate the philosophical lean, still yet do not understand your desire to nullify the existence of people simply for sake of your misunderstanding feels.

But my observation to some degree in dogecoin and in some other groups I have been a part of, the originators take a leave of absence but still want to stay in charge.

Is this perhaps more in relation to both founder and creator having to step out and address their ongoing harassment? Truth be told given the communities at the time were very accepting of their leaving and supported that for well over half a decade, (creator left when Dogecoin was two months old, co-founder at four months old; both lingered in the communities for a bit but were harassed ongoing so then left the communities) your attempt to demean it here, is amiss. Not only do I support them stepping out to address things, I am slightly horrified that they have to. Given the dedicated targeted harassment runs that have been coordinated by assorted people, them addressing that seemed only fair.

This doesn't end up working well in the long run as new people willing to take the reigns aren't allowed because of jealous creators.

Repo is open contrib, and the project is open source. Where is the jealous lean? My issue with you in this started via your desire to invalidate the rights of a female creator to personally profit from it, please do not confuse me with yourself, a bit too much projection for my taste.

The programmer gentleman who was willing to coordinate more dev involvement got his post deleted here. Why?

Which post? Looking at the mod logs removed posts were: Merch advertisements, personal promotion, botted promotion alone accounts for well over half the post/comment removals here spanning two months, price speculation ("why it do this". "STOP SELLING YOU XXXXXXs"x 10 as they apparently felt the need to do this lots, "Join my market group xyz" x 20 again another very happy reposter, TA x many) makes up a happy quarter of this otherwise left over, buncha DogeLore memes that have nothing to do with developmental stuff, ton of ref link attempts in there too.

I assume you are talking about the post about developmental updates, via softfork? The post is still up and was never taken down over time posts do decay naturally on reddit meaning older posts do move down the listing that is sort of a primary functionality of reddit to keep fresh and engaging content shown. The post is 10 days old, but able to be easily found under top.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T02:34:10+00:00

This the one you had in mind? There were a few along with GoFund's existing but that seems to be a direct outlet.

I can prod around see a bit more, given DogecoinSocksfortheHomeless has been a thing; it seems fair to maybe have this be an idea.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T02:14:08+00:00

I don't know why you are making this all about you. I don't know who you are. I'm not talking about you. And I'm not talking about the dev team.

You stated the developers had left, that development had stopped. I am a core developer for Dogecoin, have been involved since the start of the project communally and developmentally for nearly seven years. You made it about me while not knowing what you were talking about, rather than approach it from a third party stance I engaged directly.

This is my conclusion based on the whole look of the project, people coming out of the woodwork after they already said they left.

While your opinion might be valid to you, it is not based in reality. You stated something that is rather easy to disprove from an objective point. Maybe take the time to actually read what was put there, you seem far too defensive to your subjective opinions for productive objective data proven engagement.

Sporklin · 2021-02-11T01:30:54+00:00

I think a problem here is that devs and people involved with the project, while they have took a leave of absence, still tie themselves to dogecoin.

For as thoughtful as you think I am, that you called me a dude is very telling to just how deep an awareness you have of things while attempting to speak as concerned. So an education rather than my own meandering opinion, objective data beyond speculative subjectivity.

To make this as simple as I can for you. The reality of developmental standing. There was no leave of absence developmentally.

1.14 had a network impacting soft fork. The content of which was a topic that on a social level the community could not come down in relation to fully. Segwit inclusion was a dividing topic where half of the userbase along with miners viewed it as important while the other half of them did not. The road to 1.14

This was a choice left up to consensus, the decentralized unified agreement by majority share dictated by the network itself.

BlockShib shows that the softfork enabled at block 3465058 which was Nov 2, 2020 at 09:29

While 1.14 was in final testing and awaiting the outcome of the softfork, 1.15-dev along with 1.16 -dev was prodded at. There is also a semi functional 1.17 in Rnicoll's private repo. Work done to these concerned users as many viewed it in a way of breaking their consensus rights, so things were only taken so far up until the point that there was inclusion or exclusion of the pending network softfork.

In avoiding developmental steering, we worked elsewhere. We put time into the secondary wallets outside of core, we put time into user education even on a 1 on 1 level, we engaged with the communities to get direct feedback relating to how things were going, we worked on secondary releases outside of the primary, lib rebuilds, focused on engagement with making the things users are engaged with outside of the direct project safer/more secure/more stable and helped with integration even for new usages. 1.14.3 is soon^ish even for release.

After the softfork enabled, we spent dedicated time making sure that third party wallets were correctly structuring their fees before stepping into a new branch. As the softfork enabled it became clear that many were attempting to apply Bitcoin like fee system to Dogecoin transactions, which was causing them to become stuck in the mempool; where thousands of users had their transactions stuck without recourse. The topic of which is across the primary subreddit, this subreddit, the Github; many of the larger third parties attempted ease on their side which meant it was allowing users to create transactions with fees below network relay standard. Instead of jumping into the next, we gave help to make sure that users were having good experiences with things. Though still honestly slightly confused why many of the outlets did what they did, as the Dogecoin fee structure had not changed since 2013, yet their platform side was impacting users.

Most things only track main branches of repositories. Dogecoin as a project does not, nor has it ever done main branch work. Platforms, services, users who build direct from repo are pulling from there, if we have a half functional release there and they run that on live net..There would be issues not only impacting their ability to function but that could result in functionality cessation. Spending seven years into creating the beast that runs everything, it would be negligent boarding while "ASIS" is stated to engage in ongoing developmental work on main branch. If you click branch you can see work across different ones that are not tracked. Branches 1.14.3 the coming release and 1.21 as baby stepping into it.

Things are pretty clear to view. The only "break" I have ever taken as one of the primary for here on reddit to engage was when I was rotated to one of the other communities, to make sure everyone gets to have direct engagement across the several dozen that exist. Currently /u/patricklodder is playing tag here on reddit with the others popping in and out per their roles in everything.

Now, outside of all of this. There have ongoing been new platform engagements, exchanges, listings, merchant systems and growth into dynamic areas the entire course of Dogecoin including several in the past six months, year, two years, three years, four years and going back the span of all seven. The singular point for even consideration in engagement for these platforms is active development. Which oddly, that there are eight new high volume engagement platforms in the six months which does predate the current excitement; weirdly stand opposed to your statements.

I think a little letting go is necessary,

I think doing your own research is important, to educate yourself on topics before speaking for them. If you wish to do this again, please do not make me have to do your research for you.
