dogecoin VS doge-payment-channel

Have you checked the 1.14.7-dev branch on GitHub? https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin

🧾 Whitepaper

It already has the "fix" inherited from the Bitcoin code they reuse. Though you shouldn't count on that feature to not have bugs: the Dogecoin codebase is old and poorly maintained. If you run it on a cloud service, always turn on billing limits. https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/doc/reduce-...

Here's the release tracker for 1.14.7. We've been a little bit backed up with some work to migrate the testing system to a supported version of Ubuntu in GitHub, as well as a need for more people to do good code reviews.

read this dogecoin issue for more info (it also works with doge) https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/issues/3243

Today we are also experimenting with Payment Channel (https://github.com/rllola/doge-payment-channel).

There is also a poc that you can run and show you an example of payment channel happening on regtest : https://github.com/rllola/doge-payment-channel

Because we have a much more stable Dogecoin Core now, I think the exciting innovations are due to happen on top of it rather than as Dogecoin Core development per-se. A boring Dogecoin Core is imho a good sign! I posted a little message about the work being done on payment channels last week, and I think this is one of the subjects where exciting things will happen, soon.

Yesterday we agreed in the group meeting that I'd improve this doc so I did that and it was merged. I'll work a bit with /u/xanimo-net on the merchant-side prototype this week, to get that out of the way so that everyone can focus on integration. Once that's done, we'll design and propose some standards to the community, so that this can be implemented by everyone.

That would be insane tho. There's no reason to hold back if you sell expensive cars. Much different if you're selling cheap coffee. But don't need 1.21 for this, shibes are working... on a solution

For the next couple of weeks I plan to give some attention to this whenever Dogecoin Core work allows, before looking at sidechains, because I think that we can truly utilize payment channels to solve the "buy coffee with DOGE" use-case until all the magic is going to happen.
