DogeCoin/DOGE

In the ever competitive world of digital currencies and cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin continues to remain supreme, but Dogecoin is a more than capable upstart making its way through the ranks.

About Dogecoin

So what exactly is Dogecoin? Dogecoin is a digital cryptocurrency that is used as a peer-to-peer technology to handle transactions. And just like the other digital currencies, your identity will remain completely anonymous. A unique feature of Dogecoin is that it allows you to even tip other members who write or share interesting content via Dogecoin.

Setting Up Your Dogecoin Wallet

Download and Install
Download the Multidoge wallet, a digital wallet customized just for Dogecoin. It can be used on desktop and mobile platforms. Follow the brief and simple installation process.
Synchronize
Afterwards there is a brief synchronization process that connects your wallet to the Dogecoin network.
Deposit Funds
Once this process is complete, it is time to make deposits into your account. You can use American dollars to convert some funds to Dogecoin so you can get up and running.

Download App
Head to the Google Play store and download the app to your mobile phone.
Install and Open
The installation is quite simple, just click to install and then open the app afterwards on your device.
Synchronize and Deposit
It will automatically be synced to the Dogecoin network. Again, you will have to deposit some American dollar funds converted to Dogecoin to begin making transactions.

To get Dogecoins, you can simply buy, trade and sell among your peers, or you can mine them. Mining involves Dogecoin users processing the transactions of other members and being rewarded with Dogecoins for their labor. Mining is a bit complex, however, and it requires not only your own computer but also some technical know-how.

The icon and mascot representing Dogecoin is the cute Shiba Inu, a popular dog breed from Japan. Dogecoin has a growing community presence. You can find an ever-growing knowledge base and frequently asked questions on Reddit, as well as Dogecoin IRC, a chat community sponsored by Dogecoin.
