I was thinking - why not get our heads together and put together a press release that can be passed along to the news agencies?

I've started something, see below, but my inspirational moment has gone!

See what you guys can add to it and then we can look at getting it out there.

"A new Bitcoin-like virtual currency has launched, based on the popular game Flappy Bird.
Flappycoin, following in the steps of Dogecoin, was launched on 14th February, and is already receiving a huge interest throughout the Bitcoin style community.
The value of Bitcoin, the most famous currency, peaked at over $1200 last year, but is currently worth around $620.
There have been a number of alternative coins launched since the introduction of Bitcoin, such as Litecoin, Dogecoin, and the more recent Coinye coin, originally based on the rapper Kanye West.
Virtual currencies are often known for their anonymity, and the darker side of the internet, such as the Silk Road website, where illegal drugs were traded. However, as virtual currencies become more mainstream, 100’s of businesses and services are springing up around the virtual eco-system."

All it takes is to get this on a couple of news networks and the story will spread like wildfire...... mainstream media gets the everyday people interested!

Yeah , is use them sometimes too , but I was just remembering how people used to bash them , as they were the only "responsible" for keeping the price down. +)))
So , seeing them suggested as place to mine on this thread is quite funny.

and to think how much hate is directed to multipool =)))

Is there anyone normal pool that not steals coins and big enough to find/confirm blocks with adequate speed?
Tried pool.dogechain.info and fast-pool.com, but seems they steals >50% of what mined. Or their calculators are wrong.
For example, 1Mh on litecoins now will give 0.359LTC/day - this calculations is adequate. dogechain and fast-pool shows about 9000 doges per each 1Mh. But when direct workers to them after 24h there are only ~3500-4000 doges per 1Mh. Stales % is low.
Any ideas? Is calculators on pool are lying or what? After selling this 3.5-4k doges i will have less btc's than when selling ltc's mined for same period.

Was there a rise in network difficulty?  I am definitely mining a lot less then about 2 days ago.

Also is there no one interested in doge merch?  I have posted it up but I feel it gets hidden.  Beer mugs, wine glasses, pint glasses, shot glasses, etc....

Asking what thoughts are, and if there is a reason to create a line for the Dogecoin Community! (And yes we would accept dogecoins for merch!)

Thanks!  Let us know

You can read in the very first post on page 1 of this thread when the reward will change
(Hint: it halves at 100,000 - now just over a day away - and it halves again at block 200,000...)
The effect is likely that network hash rate goes down for some miners find it not interesting to mine,
so the diff will go down, making it relative easier for the remaining miners to find blocks, which will
compensate for the lower rewards.
*by design* the block find time will stay at 1 minute avg, so the net effect will be that the supply
(dilution or inflation) of Doge will be cut in half.
That will mean lower "sell" volume on exchanges and this could have positive effect on price (increase).
Today there are 30 million new Doge generated every hour, after tomorrow only 15 million/hour...
But we will see if that has the effect that we expect. Time will tell.

it was 1863.991  

EDIT: ... and price is rising. I don't understand  

Right now there is no way to get btc out of bter.  If you sold high and can get more doge trade your btc -> doge then you can withdraw doge/xpm/ppc only ones I've tried lately to another exchange that with allows btc withdrawal.  Once you get your doge/xpm/ppc whatever to another exchange, trade that for btc.  Now you have btc at an exchange that lets you withdraw, send/sell it to coinbase or some other service that converts btc to USD fiat.  

assuming u can get Doge out of Bter, not BTC:
>re-convert to Doge, remove from Bter ASAP to wallet
>move Doge to Vircurex, trade for BTC
>move BTC to Coinbase, sell to fiat, send out

BTER, says that btc withdrawals are stopped they are resynching their blockchain

dogecoin will be a big hit in china

get ready for tonight dont get left out

market cap went from 45 mils to 68 mils, and the price actually increased (from $0.0011 to $0.0015).

Now, imagine the price when the halving will have done its work.

dude please stop spamming
