What if we ask Dogecoin developers if we can join them? I threw out an interest / giveaway thread. If you want free 10k tips go here and upvote!!!!

It is not democratic when people sell their vote.

Understood, but wanted to reward supporters and get the post voted up for other dogecoin users to see.

TiPS will go into the hands of active community members, shibes

Tips has already an active community (and active devs).

Yea. But it's out of 1200 subscribers... not the 70k Dogecoin has.

FedoraCoin fits the Dogecoin meme theme

I like tipping doges Wink

TiPS will be the nickel to Doge's quarter

Multipools can't switch between Doge and TiPS to wait for diff to decrease.

Yes, because they always mine both at the same time for the same cost which you have currently for each coin.
I'm not sure on this whether it's good or bad Undecided

Pools can now mine both coin by targeting doge... BUT... they have substantially less share. 75% of TiPS will not go to them, but will go to community miners. That's what we want.

Shibes get more bang for their buck for same hashing power.

Sounds like they aren't interested in holding the coins. Just a "throw away" to reduce their cost for a decadent expensive coin (sorry, no offense)?!

Shibes are actually NICE. They will want to support a downed ally. I don't think they will dump... but even if they did, I doubt the majority would dump at same rate as multipool. That's the risk we take, but I like our odds compared to current situation.

Way more secure for TiPS - .2GH/s community mining -> 70GH/s community mining

1. The hashrate is pending between .5 and .8GH/s, not .2

Wrong. The extra .3-.5 GH/s is from multipool.us. "Wily miners" taking advantage of higher profitability. They're going rogue and dumping on us. When the dust settles, .2 is our bottom hash rate.

2. I prefer a natural grow of the hash instead because it tells you a lot about community loyality and profitability. This picture could become unclear with the shibes hashes.
If all shibes just dump all their free TIPS then more investments by the TIPS community will be needed to stay at the same price level. This in fact would decrease the value of all coins held by now.
How can we know dogeminers won't dump them all?
We don't, but jumping from .2 Gh/s to 70 Gh/s will move the coin from known dumpers to a userbase who is fanatic about their coin and crypto in general. I don't see them attacking us, especially if we can get them to start meming FedoraGuy and Doge together.

All in all. Our #1 priority is to build hash rate. This is the easiest and most efficient way to do it.
