RECOVERY GUIDE
Have you asked a question in an existing thread but not gotten an answer yet? Please make a new post with your question:)
Please back your wallets up often
This is very important, your restore, should you need it, is only as good as your back up is.
Do not send your wallet.dat files or paper keys to other users.
These are the keys to all your coins. Giving these gives control of your coins to that person.
Double check wallet addresses when sending coins
Use good, strong and unique passwords

I need to know if this is the correct address for the official Dogecoin developer fund address? Any help would be greatly appreciated
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.
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.
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!
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 !
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.
Hi everyone, i just recently aqurired 2 minindoge 3 and 3+. im trying to find a suitable pool or to be able to solo mine just dogecoin, or do I have to mine litecoin as well? Any suggestions? thanks
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?

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!
Dear DOGE fams, I had trouble signing in my Dpal desktop DOGE wallet created 1 year ago. I remember exactly what password is. But I think I typed in the wrong password and now when I type the right password it shows this message : Decrypt error : Incorrect Password
How do I regain access of my doge wallet again? I forgot my 12 phrase mnemonics..
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.
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.
Hello! I'm fairly new to Doge and I'm wondering if it's possible to mine Doge with an Android phone. I would like all possible info on this matter, thanks in advance!
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:
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

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 have all my Dogecoin in a ledger wallet and would like to know how to sell some. Can anyone share information on how this is done?
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.
Hi,
Do you have dogechain support contact please?
Hey Doge Fans, I'd love to hear your opinion on our art project. We're developing a one-of-a-kind platform that allows anyone to create Doge art using their own photos. Your thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I just bought 55$ xmr the other day and I'm probably going to buy more. That was first time I ever bought crypto. How can I buy doge with the xmr?
I have 0.3479521 xmr and I want to buy dogecoin with it. Is this enough to buy dogecoin and make a profit?
