Doge seems to be floating 55-60sat.

Decided to hold off buying (for now) because I'm assuming this is some form of 'cat bounce' right?

Since Dogecoin isn't standard so you can't use the term of one Doge is equal to one Doge.

Don't forget, it's a coin based around a dog meme. The serious world of crypto sometimes needs a little fun.

DogeCoin for many years sought to make the coin recognizable throughout the world
This isn't really true, at least from the founders' standpoint. It was started with the intention of making fun of bitcoin (it's based on a dog meme). There's some irony it is still used and increasingly respected.
"You took bitcoin and changed the font to comic sans? ...and we put a dog on it!"

The electricity bill will bigger than the profit of mining if the price of btc continue to dropping.
Fortunately, if that's the case and people are switching off, the mining difficulty will drop too.

Re: [ANN] Dogecoin Cash - Let's make Dogecoin greater

Keep in mind Dogecoin has never had a successful fork.
I'm a skeptic there's any real demand, mainly because Dogecoin... works.

It frequently gets press, managed to survive and thrive on exchanges since 2013, and its AuxPOW setup is pretty incredible. You can actually send Doge without any fees.

But maybe I'm wrong. In any case, best of luck building a full ecosystem more systematic than the full ecodoge itself.

Dogecoin unfortunately aren't actively developing it's platform.

This is echoed often, but simply not true.
https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases
The last update was 5 days ago. It is under active development.

Check the activity in the doge subreddit too, the team of core developers frequently post there.

You can create any arbitrary address simply by putting the correct checksum at the end. You, of course, will not know the secret key, so anything that is sent there is unlikely to ever be received will be destroyed and can never be spent.


FIFY.

Here is an example I made a long time ago:

Code:
11When1DieBuryMeDeepLayTwoXVEY5jv - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC
11SpeakersAtMyFeetAPairofXXTyrHor - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC
11HeadphonesonMyHeadAndXXXXYUSvnd - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC
11ALwaysPLayTheGratefuLDeadWdq4Xo - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC

How do you add a check sum? Might come in handy later.


1) create a template of your desired address ie 1waLLobserverburnaddressxxxxxxxxx (the last few characters will eventually be random due to checksum)

2) Base58 unencode your burn address into hex - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C4E117611

3) remove the last 4 bytes from the result and call what's left N - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C4E117611

4) sha256(sha256(N)) - BD0F89693417148626446F3E1EA43A69453FBCF72A024600FB54A2BC34F23387

5) take the first 4 bytes of step 4 and stick it on the end of N - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702CBD0F8969

6) base58 encode step 5 - 1waLLobserverburnaddressxxy1oWwkk

done


 

Is there a step missing between 4 and 5?

And as I understand, sha256(sha256(N)) would simply mean "hashing a hash" - correct?

000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C (from step 3) sha256'd is:
414852558A27373137680508E28F0C3E35481EF766D72CDDFA27084EECBFFAA3
... and when this ^ is sha256'd I get:
3649A20CD93B0A51FDFFF9831E8DC4EBB9FE0883708D2969E79E70AE78FF51B1

Where does BD0F8969 come from in step 4, in this example?

I used this site to hash: https://passwordsgenerator.net/sha256-hash-generator/


 You have to use the binary data rather than the string value.  Probably the tool you are using doesn't convert the string to a hex number so it will use the ASCII code for each character in the string as input.

Try this site -  https://anyhash.com/sha256 and make sure to select the hex checkbox to the right.

 


1YesThatWorksThankYouXhomervUVfQs!

I used the site you suggested for sha256, and this site for base58:
http://lenschulwitz.com/base58

Obvious, but just to be clear, this is only useful for anyone needing a burner address - you cannot generate the private key.
