Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin

Devs need to be convinced to Add RSK(Smartcontracts) and lightining network(Unsure of Segwit) functionality to the dogecoin blockchain(just like BTC and LTC are doing atm). I believe then DOGE will skyrocket both in Usage and in price.

Question is how many developers are currently involved to make it happen in a reasonable time frame? DOGE needs more active development

at the moment, no dev, they have all canceled their participation to DOGE. You can also find a youtube video with the creator of DOGE saying that he will never continue dev DOGE. make a search on youtube

That would be ok if someone took over, but nobody seems to want to do it, so Doge is just a meme unfortunately. I quite liked the coin, but it doesn't really offer anything anymore in face of all the competition.

And it's perhaps impossible to change what once made it so strong in a trustworthy way. As you said it is just a meme and it is like a stigma and nobody would really believe DOGE could compete with the big ones on a technical level. And ultimately, that is the truth for now (and might remain forever).

A meme competing on a technical level would be some next level meme though. Sure it would be difficult to pull that off, but I would really enjoy seeing it done.

Absolutely! Problem is we would need people (actually super skilled people) think the same way as you and me. And for them there are a lot of other opportunities where there is money to be made. This community would need to gather a good amount of funds to attract devs.

I wish I had the reputation to round up funds and look for strong developers and marketing teams. Aren't there any prominent oldschool shibes around to tackle this task?

With all the lack in development and interest in DOGE it is impressive that this is still a $130 million coin. I mean I am sure it is well distributed but there must be some whales with a huge interest in further development. Where are they?

Traders would trade anything as long as it can be converted into money. It doesn't matter if it's coins minted from fecal matter or gold or even monopoly money.

Well, as long as it can be converted into more money than they invested I would say. So some do obviously still believe in DOGE.
