How to Access a Wallet

I'm trying to switch from multi doge to my doge, but I must've done something wrong, because it's showing it empty like a new wallet. Is there a guide for using the passphrase and keys to access it? I can't move it easily without a wallet software.

Who owns a transaction? Do you need a private key for the UTXO? I'm wondering about seemingly lost currency that's sitting on what I assume are change addresses.

Android app Dogecoin Wallet. A bunch of currency (80% of my wallet..) ended up "unspent" on what look like UTXOs / change addresses. I'm coming up on two days without it returning / registering in my balance.

The addresses were never listed in the app and the backup doesn't include private keys for them.

At one point the addresses in these transactions changed for some reason. One of these new addresses also then forwarded off on another transaction to a third presumed UTXO where that currency now sits unspent.

I'm wondering if the app hasn't given me private keys that I need for these addresses or if they're associated with the initiating, sending address of which I do have access, and that's all that's required for the currency to eventually return.


If I do need their private keys, can I use some combination of mnemonic and / or xpub keys to generate a list of addresses and private key pairs, and eventually identify them? I've already been attempting this (https://iancoleman.io/bip39) with no luck. Tens of thousands of addresses with no matches. The mnemonic with derivation path BIP32 + "m/0'" gives the correct corresponding xpub, so I assume the generated pairs are relevant. I've tried "use hardened addresses" and even the "encrypt private keys using BIP38" with the password of the app backup file.

Edit: I should say, I've been getting addresses with the mnemonic but not sure how to do it with xpub.

Crypto.com vs Kraken apps

Deciding between using Kraken vs Crypto.com… (for buying, not storing)

What’s strange to me is that crypto.com app is ranked #4 in the App Store for finance, while Kraken is down at #48? This doesn’t seem to math with the opinions I hear online — that kraken is great and that crypto.com is less trustworthy. I like the crypto.com UI more, but have heard that its fees are worse?

Just looking for some opinions and guidance on choosing an exchange… Want to hear everything!

Wallet for Linux desktop?

I usually use Linux and until now I have used multidoge with some problems but working. Now that it is no longer in development, I am looking for a replacement that has the same virtues... that is lightweight, secure, and that allows me to manage my private keys locally. What are you currently using? Greetings !

Wallet app that can store multiple wallets for different cryptocurrencies?

Crypto wallet app that holds the wallets/private key to multiple cryptocurrencies? For my use, bitcoin and doge? So I can check my stats all in one place instead of having several apps? Preferably open source. I’ve heard of coinbase wallet, robinhood wallet, trust, exodus, meta-mask, etc. Which are recommended?

I’m thinking of buying the currency from an exchange like coinbase or Robin Hood and then later on moving them to software wallet. (Or is it possible to buy from within the wallet itself??)

I specifically want software wallet so I can view stats, visually see how much I have, which I can’t do with a paper wallet.

Paper wallet - cleaned out?

Hi all - I've been holding Dogecoin for many years, and in 2023 transferred it all into a paper wallet (generated online, which I now realise was a huge mistake!)

I'm a crypto novice, so just looking for someone to confirm what I already know. It looks like the wallet was cleaned out in summer 2024. Can someone confirm this?
https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/address/DRapVwzX2SwJ9WSSbYd86rLTxZqjqBYGe5

Ultimately, it's very disappointing because I'd been sitting on my Doge for a long time, and it has significant value. Thankfully, I'm already at peace with the fact that it's gone!

Dogecoin OS for Intel/AMD CPU

Rather than run an application on a Windows/Mac/Linux OS, is there a complete Dogecoin OS that can be installed on a normal Intel/AMD cpu computer?

When it boots, it goes right into the Dogecoin desktop or terminal.

What to do with DogeCoin folder 55gb

I am cleaning up space on my pc, I forgot that I had doge and that I set up a node and I dont even remember much of how it all works.

its 55gb. I dont know whats in it. Is it essential data to the community? is it all software to help support the chain but I can delete it without consequence?
Ill be honest, i didnt know much what I was doing then nor do i now. but I usually jump in to learn how to swim. I got distracted by life and just discovered an abandoned pool metaphorically.

Core Wallet Console Examples

Hey shibes!

If you ever wanted to get your feet wet with the Dogecoin Core Wallet console, have a look at this!

In this tutorial we will get the current block height (the latest block). Get it's blockhash - after this is what really identifies the block (check my chaintips post for more details). And with that hash we can get all details from the block:

Dogecoin Core Wallet Console

You can also run those queries with your dogecoin-cli, use rpc requests in python or - if you kind of hate yourself - run it in powershell, like I did using my public Dogecoin node:

Gosh I hate powershell, why am I doing this?

The powershell code used in the script:

# get current block count
$uri = "https://easypeasy.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/api/blockchain/getblockcount"
$blockHeight = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri
Write-Host "Current blockheight: " $blockHeight

# get the matching blockhash
$uri = "https://easypeasy.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/api/blockchain/getblockhash/" + $blockHeight
$blockHash = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri
Write-Host "Current blockhash: " $blockHash

# and finally the block
$uri = "https://easypeasy.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/api/blockchain/getblock/" + $blockHash
$block = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri
Write-Host "Block:"
$block | ConvertTo-Json

If you want more details on the dogecoin-cli or you have other questions - feel free to post them in this thread!

Cheers

Core Wallet: Change the third-party blockchain explorer

Did you know:

If you're a Dogecoin QT user, you can change the third-party blockchain explorer you use for transaction URLs?

Just go to: Settings -> Options -> Display Note: The default explorers, DogeChain and SoChain, are down for maintenance at the moment.

I know solo mining isn't profitable. I want to try it anyway. How?

Of the thirty or so guides I've read recently, every one has advised me to join a pool. That's fine; it's probably great advice. But let's say I don't want to, that I just want to play the great Doge Lotto on my own. How would I?

I've downloaded EasyMiner and run it in a pool for a while, but that's both boring and unprofitable, IMO. If I'm going to be unprofitable, I figure I might as well have a tiny chance of a win as opposed to a guaranteed loss.

Bear in mind: I'm new at crypto, and I'm mainly trying this for fun. Someone gave me a tip for one of my Sci-Fi stories in Doge and the low fees inspired me.
