On Sunday, Elon Musk discussed his relationship with the Dogecoin Foundation and he mentioned a few improvements he\u2019d like to see implemented via Dogecoin Core\u2019s codebase. Meanwhile, Github metrics show developers have been working on Dogecoin Core during the last few months and it seems Dogecoin software engineers are prepping the network to address fees, transaction time, and mining.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dogecoin Proponents Including Elon Musk Patiently Wait for a fee Change Fix, Dogecoin Core Repo Has Been Active<\/h2>\n

At the end of June, Tesla\u2019s CEO Elon Musk<\/a> tweeted about the fee change proposal added to the Dogecoin Core Github repository. At the time, Musk said<\/a> it was \u201cimportant to support\u201d it. The following week, people noticed that Dogecoin software developers Ross Nicoll and Patrick Lodder were maintaining the project and looking to add Musk\u2019s suggestions. Lodder\u2019s Dogecoin Core fee change proposal<\/a> explained that the fix would be \u201cgradually deployed to the network over multiple software releases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ever since then, there\u2019s been a lot more action happening in the Dogecoin Core Github repo<\/a>. 1000x.group<\/a> metrics from the \u201cNumber of Developers Working on Specific Crypto Projects\u201d tracker show that between August 2017 to January 2021, Dogecoin network development was a ghost town. In February 2021, 16 software engineers were working on the project, in May there were three developers. 1000x.group statistics show that 12 software developers contributed to Dogecoin Core in August.<\/p>\n

Last Dogecoin Release \u2018Part of a Two-Stage Update to Lower the Fee Recommendation\u2019<\/h2>\n

Looking at Dogecoin Core\u2019s Github repo indicates that Ross Nicoll and Patrick Lodder are still very active. Lodder dropped the release<\/a> Dogecoin Core 1.14.4 on August 20, 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Lodder\u2019s description of the 1.14.4 software notes that the release prepares the network for a reduction of the recommended fees. The action would reduce the \u201cdefault fee requirement 1000x for transaction relay and 100x for mining.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, it increases freedom for miner, wallet, and node operators to agree on fees regardless of defaults coded into the Dogecoin Core software by solidifying fine-grained controls for operators to deviate from built-in defaults,\u201d the Dogecoin Core 1.14.4 release notes written by Lodder explain. \u201cThis realizes the first part of a two-stage update to lower the fee recommendation \u2013 a follow-up release will implement the lower fee recommendation, once the network has adapted to the relay defaults introduced with this version of Dogecoin Core.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Twitter thread with the Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the individual mentioned \u201cNFT integrations\u201d that looked \u201cpromising.\u201d But many others agreed with Musk who was more interested in \u201clowering fees, decreasing block time & increasing block size.\u201d Dogecoin\u2019s co-creator Billy Markus agreed with Musk as well. \u201cYeah\u2026 IMO dogecoin being fast, scalable, and inexpensive to send around is all it needs to be, it doesn\u2019t need to be yet another blockchain that hosts NFTs or other tokens or whatever,\u201d Markus said<\/a>. Tesla\u2019s CEO agreed with the Dogecoin co-founder and replied<\/a> with a 100% emoji.<\/p>\n

From the looks of it, Dogecoin Core developers are preparing<\/a> to address Musk\u2019s scaling concerns. The Dogecoin community has supported<\/a> Musk\u2019s scaling idea for quite some time but almost once a week someone asks<\/a>: \u201cwhen will Dogecoin transaction fees drop?\u201d<\/p>\n
