Title: DogeCoin AuxPOW Update
Post by: russkroe on September 14, 2014, 08:03:14 pm

I was concerned when I heard about this last month. What are everyone's' thoughts on this?  http://www.coindesk.com/dogecoin-celebrates-litecoin-merge-mining/

DogeCoin is up 65% in the last 24hours and I'm worried that this jump is going to stem our momentum. http://coinmarketcap.com/

I know Doge still has the issues that come with the POW instead of POS, but I feel like when it comes down to the fundamentals of it... most people just aren't going to got it.

Any thoughts? anything Bitshares guys have in the pipeline?

Makes me think of Kodak developing better quality photographic films in the face of the onrushing competition of digital photography  ;D   (Kodak has declared bankruptcy by the way)

Its really only about 1 day of coding to enable merge-mining... infact I did the same thing with Syscoin/Devcoin.. does it make it more valuable? Yes.. how much, is debatable.

$5.5 million daily volume?  lol ridiculous pump.  I'll be surprised if it doesn't make a big correction by tomorrow.
