I missed the "Bitcoin" bubble but after hearing some good things in January decided to throw €10 at Dogecoin, and today, well you can see.

I purchased it in 2016. I was looking for the cheapest possible coin I could buy that would in turn give me 1000's of coins

 

currently I have 43,526. But after looking it up I had as many as 170,000 that I Then used to buy reddcoin and dopecoin. Spent a total of around $30.

Thanks Elon Musk.

 

I friend of mine raised close to half a mil on dogecoin traiding years ago but it was just straight Reddit market manipulation. Buy, pump sell... Wait a few weeks - repeat.

 

Now Elon Musk is doing it.  It is and was a joke.

I'm also new to crypto but now I'm well and truly addicted!

I was going to put £1000 into Dogecoin (@ £0.05) last Wednesday night but was too scared so I ended thinking overnight and got £500 on Thursday instead (@ £0.09).

 

By lunchtime Friday I had nearly £1300 because the price had gone upto nearly £0.30 overnight!

 

Really wish I had done the earlier deal now but I need to remember the value could easily go down too...

Where do you even buy safely bitcoin and dogecoin now days? I always have in the back of my head those places that basically scammed people and stole their money by the millions or lost it somehow (a japanese one comes to mind?)

I am using Litebit https://www.litebit.eu/ seems legit from doing a bit of research and tbh I can afford to lose €10. If I get a bit more serious with it I will do further research.

coinbase?

I use the Robinhood App. I also have the Coinbase app but at the time I purchased, Doge was not avaliable on Coinbase.

I started using the Revolut app on my phone and then switched to Binance as the fees were lower...

 

I prefer the look of Revolut but Binance has lots more types of crypto available although they do seem a little slower paying out...  

 

Treat it as a game - Start off with a small amount like £20 or something and see if you can build it that's what I did - It's not making any interest in the bank so I put £500 in with the understanding that I could lose the lot!
(Although this seems likely - Even if the value crashes you still own it you just have to hold on for it to come up again - A bit like buying property I guess?)

Well i've just bought over 6 million 'SafeMoon' coins for around $60 as these seem to be talked about alot lately, hoping it goes the same way as Dogecoin but if it all goes tits up its not an issue.

I personally think SafeMoon is already pumped and dumped. Same with Doge but Elon is actively promoting Doge so it has a better chance of giving multi-fold returns.

Yes, you are right if you have bought the Dogecoin in January 2021. Because according to the expert's, dogecoin would cost $2 or more per coin in January 2022.

Elon, is that you? :rolleyes:

I bought 500 at 9p just before it surged. Sold 1/2 at 40p. Keeping the rest and going long, although I have set a 75p sell order which will auto-fill when hit.

Mark Cuban also promotes it.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
