Dogecoin (DOGE) on AltQuick

Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer.

The original idea for the cryptocurrency came from Jackson as a joke, which suggested that cryptocurrency users were willing to value anything. Dogecoin was first listed on a free exchange called CoinedUp, and gained so much volume that the exchange was often offline. From there, Dogecoin spread to a website called Doge-Dice.com, which was an offshoot of the popular Bitcoin dice site Just-Dice.com. Dogecoin was unique because there were so many Dogecoins in circulation, that users felt comfortable sending small amounts to strangers without feeling bad. The chain is Scrypt proof of work and merged-mines with Litecoin (AuxPoW). Elon Musk and many other popular tech figures have openly said that they use and support Dogecoin.
