Dogecoin mining pool 'Dopey's Pool'

Check it out! -- I've gotten out of the mining business:) Was a fun expirement.. Article is here as an archive now.

This is used to mine Dogecoin, which you can find more about Dogecoin in general below:

Here is a youtube video from the founder explaining Dogecoin.

A getting started article from dogecoin.com for my non-geeky friends that just want to obtain and use Dogecoin.

Mining is a bit more on the geeky side, and is not something the average person needs to do to obtain or spend dogecoin. If you're interested in mining I suggest checking out the dogemining subreddit.

The general use of crypto currencies is something many of us expect to be mainstream some day. It's growing in popularity and if you haven't heard about it yet, you likely will soon.

Think of it is an internet currency that allows you to quickly and easily send and receive money(dogecoin) online. More and more companies are accepting it as a form of payment, and startup companies are appearing to fill this new niche. It's going to be pretty neat seeing it all unfold.

Dogecoin Ubuntu Live CD Installer

I spent a little time today trying to come up with a single tar file and script to install dogecoin-qt on an Ubuntu live CD. This will let fellow shibes make offline wallets for better security!

You can get the code and instructions from my github here.

This version is created for 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD. I likely have too many deps in the tar file as it is quite huge(~80MB), but it works! I'll work on shaving it down soon.

Here is what it looks like in action:

[shibe@ubuntu mnt]$ sudo tar -xvf

##Lots of stuff.. This will take a while.

Here is the install.sh script to install the deps, extract and compile the source code for dogecoin-qt. 

[shibe@ubuntu dogecoin-qt-1.5-ubuntu-12.04-Live-Install]$ cat

#!/bin/sh

#Check jpyth.com or github.com/jpyth for any updates should dogecoin-qt
have a newer version! To the moon!

echo "dpkg no like, find a shibe to help with errors above!"  
}  
[shibe@ubuntu dogecoin-qt-1.5-ubuntu-12.04-Live-Install]$

Nothing special, just going through each step and checking return code on the prior step. Hopefully most of those error messages are never seen by anyone.

If you find any deps that are missing, or know of ones I can remove please let me know. I'll write up information about creating the live CD, other steps, and dogecoin in general...but wanted to share this as I promised it on reddit.

To the moon!
