There have been many doge forks and derivatives throughout the years. dogecoindark, dogecoinlite, dogecoin-eth, dogecoin gold, dogecoin token, dogecoin plus alpha zero turbo with SegwitX10 mega. They are all trying to copy and imitate the dynamic intricacies of the now faded doge. We don't need a fork or a new take on doge, what we need is a revitalization of what made doge great from the beginning.

Things we can do:

- Raise money for the current dev team or a new group of official sanctioned devs. The escrow to be provided by anyone who still official capacity in dogecoin. Doge needs bitcoin security updates and maintenance. It would not be difficult to fund other programmers to do so, although ideally it would be better for the original devs to be active again. Either way, doge is a community coin and we can move it forward as a community.

I am pledging $14,000 for active devs.

- Contact exchanges and entertain the idea of a 1:1 dogecoin fork in which we can maintain the same ticker "DOGE".

- Generate a new roadmap the coincides with the latest in crypto development. DOGE stands out as a donation currency and a ton of people are new to crypto in the last few years that are looking for something like this. Not only that, but a lot of old dogecoiners are now rich and are sentimental for doge, they just want a reason to be involved. Imagine the new levels of donation we can achieve in 2018. Donations and Tipping. If we can create an official and easy to use tipping app, it would give true purpose to doge.

- Stop looking to the past. It's time to look forward. Yes there were bad players, yes there were hacks, yes the developers aren't active - But our blockchain is one of the most stable in the industry. Focus on our low fees. Focus on adoption in India, Africa and Venezuela. Focus on creating content (memes) and most of all... focus on teaching new people about crypto with dogecoin, it's the lowest barrier of entry currently.

- Try to be a little more kind to new comers and people with questions. Even the wild speculation should be taken with a grain of salt and treated as enthusiasm and motivation for other shibes.

- Have fun!
