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!

Have you made posted a thread on Reddit yet? I feel like we might have more success there than on Bitcoin Talk. Would love to see what kind of reaction this would get. Do mention the use of an escrow in case we end up collecting donations for a roadmap though. And let's not start collecting until we have a vision that the community agrees on. Just my fifty Doges though.

wakka622 Aren't we learning nothing about the RagnaFork over Bitcoin these days? First thing you do is criticize forks, but then the revolutionary idea you thought is some sort of DogeCoin Cash? Wow. Such contradiction. Please clear this up.
What makes Doge special is that it's a good currency. Maybe if you look for complex features, bells & whistles... you're looking for a store of value ie Bitcoin.
A currency is just the opposite, is plain SIMPLE
Fast - Much checked
Cheap - Much checked
Secure - Much checked

If one of the above is in danger, anyone can propose a patch, or maybe a preventing idea.

Two main points unfortunately claimed til now (on reddit too) are against the previous exposed model

Fork&Split: Huge inflation, apocalypse...
Burning/limit coins: Quite antagonistic. Deflation will lead Doge to become closer to BTC's characteristics (store of value)

Btw there are currently two active campaigns on reddit: #DogecoinMilkForEveryOne and #DogecoinSocksForTheHomeless.
Besides there is a new & cool tipbot since a few months, replacing the lost one https://www.reddit.com/r/sodogetip/ Such WoW! Wink

Hey it seems like you have some extra fiat Grin

. Many possibilities!
Buy doge. Donate to devs/users Cheesy

or campaign, maybe your own ideas. Use them if crypto enviroment succeeds, at least they will perform well against fiat.
Invest in a store of value if you want to profit more.
Cash it. Burn the notes.
Actually limitless choices you are free

The fork would have to be sanctioned by the doge team if anything, and I agree it may not be needed. There are patches needed though and it would be nice to see some initiative from the current team. I would be interested in giving money to the devs if they were someone manning the fort. I'm not even saying we need new programmers, but we definitely need a project manager and a team of people pushing new apps, security updates, troubleshooting and a dialog with the community. There is the argument that we should leave it all to the community, but where has that gotten us? Who would be a good frontman for doge these days? Someone with calm demeanor and a good sense of humor that has a wealth of crypto knowledge.

My vote is for Peter Saddington, The Doge Lord / Mr. Dogecoinlambo
