For a shitcoin Dogecoin is doing quite well. IMO this coin has only one advantage and that is good marketing.

Some points I noticed

Dogecoin is #5 on coinmarketcap vs Litecoin. Litecoin is 5x higher.
Dogecoin Hashrate 903 GH/s vs Litecoin 1.15 TH/s. Litecoin is 20% higher.
Dogecoin is 9% less profitable to mine than LTC.
etc...

This thread should be in "Alternate Cryptocurrencies"....
