There's speculation that a similar functionality for Facebook would be like strapping SRB's to the side of the Doge moonrocket, and give it Much Velocity.
And yeah, I spent my quarter-BTC on Humble Bundles. Oops.
It's not a straight copy, as it's got random block rewards and different parameters.
But it's very close, yes. Still scrypt based.
It's so true! When people post really basic or dumb questions they could have googled in twos seconds, or show that absolutely no idea what is going on, people in the doge threads or on the reddit don't act like jerks. They just help the person and then joke with them. It really does feel like something different than other crypto currency communities!
Something so intangible can be so important.
