Ok never mind, the official dopecoin site has wallet 2.1.

OP link needs to be updated though.

Can I get a link to the latest wallet please?

Can't sync beyond block 85802 with wallet 2.0.0.0 which is all I can find anywhere.

Bit of a forum search on block 85802 stated I need wallet version 2.1, perhaps the links in the op and official site need to be updated.

Using Windows.

Thanx

Looks like the greater DOPE community want PoS. Not just the  newbie members but the more active members as well.

PoS is most energy efficient and more importantly anyone with a computer and an internet connection can mine which broadens the potential interest.

Also moving to PoS should create some demand for the coin in the short term as existing crypto enthusiasts will pick some up to stake and sit on while they watch what happens with the coin.

EDIT:typo's

I agree the coin needs to be moved off scrypt algo. The cost, noise and heat generation compared to other "gpu friendly" algo... you wouldn't do it. I certainly won't mine scrypt coins anymore, its a waste of energy. People are more conscious of being energy efficient these days so I think it would be a step in the right direction for DOPE's image.

I've mined a few of the GPU friendly algo's and I personally found Groestl to be one of the best in terms of energy consumption, noise and heat generation as well as stablility which is important. I could let the miner run for a week without having to worry about checking it or rebooting the rig every day.

As for POS... I like the idea of POS as its very energy efficient, but at the moment its a bit of a fad movement like country coins were. Lots of POS coins popping up because the idea is great and they are popular. However I think following the trend with POS would be a wrong move at least for now. I think emerging POS coins are seen by experienced cryto investors with the view they are just trying to ride the wave created by the coins that pioneered POS to snatch a quick profit, adding nothing new or of value to the crypto world.
It would be bad for DOPE's image if it were bundled into that category of coins.

As for lighting a fire under DOPE and off the launch pad... well that's going to take some innovative thinking from some peeps with a sound understanding of the crypto world and where its headed. Devising and implementing industry changing features that will set the standard for cryptocurrency architecture, functionality and security.

One of the problems I can see with crypto currency be accepted more widely is its willingness to be accepted by retailers or as payment in general. I think a big part of this is due to the crippling volatility that all coins experience due to market manipulation in various forms. Finding a way to stabilize the value would go a long way to gaining acceptance as a viable form of payment.

No mean feat I know.

Second problem is scammers. Designing a payment/transfer system that keeps payee and payer honest would go a long way to help peeps feel safe using DOPE to both buy and sell.

I guess crypto's face all the same issues security wise as digital fiat so maybe looking into how these issues are managed and go from there.

Well I hope the DEV's are working on something because if the price keeps trending like it has been the next event for dope will be its funeral.

DOPE is sitting around 100 sat. Looks like gravity's got it now.

As long as DOPE is on scrypt algo the coin itself has the potential to be crippled by multipools. They mess with the diff and hold coin values down.

Getting off multipools radar would be a positive move for DOPE.

I would love to help but have absolutely no idea whats involved or how a crypto even works. Been meaning to research it but that real life thing keeps getting in the way.

Maybe I should do that research and see if I can be of use.

Its not that peeps lost interest, they lost faith in the developer because of his/her/their lack of activity. Soooo many scam coins about, lots of peeps getting scammed and loosing their investment money.

You can understand why peeps are quick to call scam if they suspect something odd about the coin or the dev. Even the slightest hint of a scam can severly effect a coins market value.

Good to see that spike for sure.

Lot of weak handed bag holders from the last pump and dump pushing the price back down and they will continue to do so for a bit yet.

As long as dope's chart remains bullish they'll get exhausted and the price will be able to climb and pump again. Hopefully the following dump won't go all the way back to baseline this time and dope will retain some value from the pump.

From a traders perspective this coin is looking very profitable, just needs more volume to make it worth while. That will come with time though.

Thanx mate, appreciate the confirmation.

Anyone able to point me in the direction of a link to the wallet?

Got coins stuck in exchange.

Ok, how does this PoS work. Clearly I'm not getting it.

Yesterday a bit over 1 mil of my coins matured 20 days and went to stake, a 11666 GHC transaction came through as mined and proceeded to get conformations.

Coins have gone from stake and are not mining.

So do the coins now have to go through a 20 day maturity cycle again before counting towards stake?

Math supports this but I want to be sure.

((1000000 * 20%) /365)*20= 10958

Thanx for the heads up bud.

Ah well looks like I'm long on DOPE.


Also whats the status on the coins algo? Staying with scrypt or have you considered changing to one of the more energy efficient GPU friendly Algo's?

Any idea of a floor for the dump?

I'm holdin but I'm getting nervous

Agreed, just snapped up some AC, will look into ECC.

Unfortunately the dev appears to not be committed to this coin.

That giveaway on C-Cex spurred some interest, which was great. I've talked the coin up, defended it...

But alas.. Dev vanishes... AGAIN! Feel like a fool for standing behind a coin that its dev couldn't be bothered with.

I'm a hairs breath of dumping my holdings I tells ya.

Go with an escrow peeps. Anyone who invested directly return your btc and use escrow.

Edgecoin just turned out to be a scam. 69 btc in the wind.

Money's gone? lol

This is exactly why cryptocurrency will never be widely adopted. No security. Scammers paradise.

Nah. 20 min to midnight where I live lol.
