Show HN: Dogecoin Average - the price of Doge
- adrianwaj 13y agoHi, does the JSON offer a straight global average (rather than individually by market) and then ideally a USD conversion from bitcoinaverage (that site is open-sourced if you didn't know - but integrations need to built per exchange.) You may want to open this one too.
- Two9A 13y agoIt does! All the fiat currency values are calculated by taking the weighted averages in DOGE, and multiplying by the price of 1 BTC from BitcoinAverage. If you don't see what you're looking for here, let me know: http://dogecoinaverage.com/USD.json http://dogecoinaverage.com/USD.json
- adrianwaj 13y agookay @dogeprice and @dogeboost are now active with price tweeted every 30mins and 6h respectively, both D and USD. Logos from http://dogecoinlogo.com/ http://dogecoinlogo.com/ I ended up using a background image I originally designed to promote cryptos and litecoin, but tweaked it to appeal to 15 yr olds and dogecoin. http://imgur.com/gallery/XpwIWM0 http://imgur.com/gallery/XpwIWM0
- mcclux 13y agoNice work!
- deleted_account 13y agoOk, so we now have Bitcoin, Litecoin, and...Dogecoin, "an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, favored by Shiba Inus worldwide" Can we officially declare that crypto-currencies have jumped the shark?
- mikeevans 13y agoDon't forget Coinye! "Coinye, formerly Coinye West, is a Scrypt-based cryptocurrency that used the American hip hop artist, Kanye West as its mascot"[1] 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinye http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinye
- JonnieCache 13y agoCoinye's naked worship of celebrity is simply gauche. The irony only makes it worse. Dogecoin on the other hand... wow. I for one am looking forward to the 2050s, when china installs the doge as the world reserve currency, and all our paper money is written in rainbow-coloured comic sans.
- rthomas6 13y agoSuch cynicism.
- GigabyteCoin 13y agoPlease. This is HN, and you know it. Your account was registerd over 2,000 days ago. Stop with the pointless comments.
- ansimionescu 13y agoMuch stick up the ass. Not wow :(
- GigabyteCoin 13y agoWhat on earth is happening to HN?
- _dogey 13y agoGet over yourself. Such mad.
- sliverstorm 13y agoI don't mean to be critical, and maybe I'm missing a UI element, but charts that cannot be scaled on the X axis (i.e. select a timeframe) are not very useful.
- Two9A 13y agoMm. I've followed the example of Bitcoin Average in this instance, who have a fixed 24h chart on the homepage. The backend can already cope with pulling data for a chart that's wider (or indeed, shorter) in timescale, so that may change when I've collated more data.
- willholloway 13y agoI agree. This price chart makes it look like Doge is in a downtrend. This chart is after price jumped ~500%
- codewiz 13y agoThis other site shows market cap for all the notable cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin: http://coinmarketcap.com/ http://coinmarketcap.com/
- adrianwaj 13y agoThat site takes its Doge price from http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/#jump-doge-btc http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/#jump-doge-btc (and seems to underquote it too) and the Bitcoin price is taken from bitcoinaverage. Anyhow, this a great first effort. I'd use it to tweet out on @dogeprice as I am doing already with @btcprice. This is a really hot market at present. It's also full of opportunities. Dig in Shibes.
- deleted_account 13y agoThis is amazing. This page should just be the top link on any Bitcoin discussion: "Guys, guys, guys, I'm feeling really bullish on Sexcoin. Does anyone have the Winklevoss' phone number?"
- Pxtl 13y ago... hah, link that to mining costs and make your miners automatically switch currencies as the market fluctuates.
- Two9A 13y agoUnsurprisingly, this has been done. https://www.multipool.us/ https://www.multipool.us/ (Guess it goes to show there are no new ideas left in the world...)
- derivagral 13y agothis site sort of already does that http://dustcoin.com/mining http://dustcoin.com/mining

- DennisP 13y agoYes, the big question is whether currency has such a strong network effect that one will dominate. Hayek argued the opposite, and wrote a book claiming that a system of competing private currencies would be ideal. There are also a few technical arguments in favor of multiple currencies. At the moment we don't know how to scale a single blockchain to major-currency levels, unless we do mostly off-chain transactions. And with appropriate software, accepting lots of currencies doesn't have to be harder for a merchant than accepting one. There's also some work on cross-chain currency trading without a trusted intermediary.
- willholloway 13y agoThe signal to buy was when Dogecoin volume doubled Bitcoin volume. You had a couple days before the world realized how underpriced Doge was. Doge was around 45-50 Satoshis then. Funding the Jamaican bobsled team, and tapping into Cool Runnings millenial nostalgia was a great PR move by the Doge community. The recent price correction is probably due to mining pools jumping in when profitability soared before difficulty adjusted. The Doge community has a saying "To the moon!". Moon being defined by many as $1 per coin. Edit: Watch the video at http://howtodoge.com http://howtodoge.com to get a feel for the community effort to go "to the moon!"
- BrainInAJar 13y ago> The Doge community has a saying "To the moon!". Moon being defined by many as $1 per coin. And the latest PR move is to get dogecoin quite literally to the moon by figuring out how to fund PSU's Lunar Lion moon probe
- Two9A 13y agoApparently, a laser engraving of a Shiba Inu on the side of the craft would cost comparatively little. I might donate a Doge or a few.
- BlackDeath3 13y ago>The Doge community has a saying "To the moon!". Yet another inspiration provided by Bitcoin.
- Istof 13y ago"to the moon" has been used for many other cryptocurrencies before dogecoin existed
- willholloway 13y agoNone like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3oiThw2RxE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3oiThw2RxE The Obama salute is the best part.
- mrfusion 13y agoIs there a place to trade bitcoins for dogecoins?
- MysticFear 13y agohttps://github.com/ummjackson/dogecoin-resources#exchanges https://github.com/ummjackson/dogecoin-resources#exchanges If you are feeling generous, my referral link from Cryptsy (largest exchange by volume): https://www.cryptsy.com/users/register?refid=25234 https://www.cryptsy.com/users/register?refid=25234

- mrfusion 13y agoThanks. I just signed up. But my deposit isn't going through. I'm trying to make a support request, but any idea what goes into the "requester" field on the support request?
- mrfusion 13y agoOK, I guess the requester field is for my email address? Seems weird since they already have it.
- Noelkd 13y agoYes [0][1][2][3] [0] https://coinedup.com/ https://coinedup.com/ [1] https://www.cryptsy.com/ https://www.cryptsy.com/ [2] https://www.coins-e.com/ https://www.coins-e.com/ [3] https://vircurex.com/ https://vircurex.com/
- Two9A 13y agoFor what it's worth, the table at the bottom of Dogecoin Average links directly to each market used to calculate the price. (Except Coined Up; I've requested API access to their price lists, it may be a little while.)
- jmedwards 13y agoHonestly, how are we going to explain ourselves to the year 2200? http://dogecoin.com/ http://dogecoin.com/
- dijit 13y agoOutside guess that we'll be dead by then.
- revx 13y ago"Yeah, I'm really bummed out I didn't get into dogecoin 186 years ago"
- phy6 13y ago"Hey grandpaw, what kind of dog did you have?", David inquired, his eyes pointing to the gilded picture above the fireplace. At the bottom of the ornate frame was an out of place comic sans font that read "to the moon". Grandpaw reached for his glasses. Looking closer, David noticed the background of the painting was filled with smaller phrases. "such amaze" read one of the vague, but positive half thoughts--another was simply "wow". David recalled this was same way his parents talked to grandpaw, as it if was some dialect of a bygone era. Finally fixing his spectacles, Grandpaw mustered, "Oh, I never had a dog...". While turning gingerly in his favorite green chair to face the painting, his eyes raised in kind remembrance. "That's a _doge_, my child.", he proclaimed, with emphasis on the peculiar pronunciation. "That's how grandpa made his millions."
- ck2 13y agoYou should add difficulty/hashrate charts too and maybe the ability to overlay any two charts. Did you hack out a custom address? How is that possible since a private key has to exist. I thought one was based on the other.
- Two9A 13y agoThere's a vanity address generator, which bruteforces private keys until it finds a corresponding public key that matches your desired pattern. I forget where the generator lives, but it runs locally and eats CPU for hours.
- galapago 13y agoI wonder who is buying dogecoins and why..
- wellboy 13y agoFor an investment opportunity, the price has quintupled over the last 72h you know. And for fun. :)
- lvs 13y agoAlso worth comparing to: http://doge.yottabyte.nu http://doge.yottabyte.nu http://dogemonitor.com http://dogemonitor.com (seems overcapacity these days)
- swirlycheetah 13y agoCan I add http://wowsuch.io http://wowsuch.io to the mix? It's rather simple right now but I'm actively working on new features right now.
- revx 13y agoIs there a way to buy doge for cash yet?
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- wellboy 13y agoCan you please make it like this: http://bitcointicker.co/ http://bitcointicker.co/
- wellboy 13y agoWow this thread was severely punished. Rank #34 with 56 upvotes and posted 2h ago. There is another post on the front page with 37 upvotes posted 2h ago on rank #5. Wow. So punishment. Very algorithmci downwotes.
- Two9A 13y agoI've no idea. Maybe HN doesn't like the fact that OP is posting so much in the comments?
