A Dogecoin developer has begun the process on GitHub to introduce tipping mechanisms shortly after the release of Dogecoin Core 1.14.7, bolstering the community’s commitment towards recognizing and rewarding contributors to the meme token ecosystem. Led by a dedicated group of volunteers and maintainers, Dogecoin Core stands as a testament to the inclusive and decentralized ethos of the project.
According to the GitHub submissions, the 1.14.7 upgrade is a new minor version release that brings enhancements to several RPC methods and important security updates for Dogecoin-Qt. Over 50 different DOGE contributors worldwide helped with this release.
While a minor update, it will enhance security and benefit node operators. Another relatively recent technical improvement was the introduction of Ordinals on the blockchain, with some developers even releasing popular games that run wholly using Dogecoin.
The other day, community members were speculating about the implementation of crypto payments on the platform. The buzz comes shortly after reports of X’s new payment branch being awarded more licenses in the U.S. To complicate things, members brought up a year-old report by the Financial Times in which DOGE proponent and tech billionaire Elon Musk said that the first phase of X Payments would not include crypto.
Dogecoin Developer Spills Details On Crypto Payments In X
Prominent Dogecoin community leader and developer, known by the moniker Mishaboar, expressed uncertainty, stating, “I am not sure if this has changed now. Early this month, Elon said X is very close to landing a money transmitter license in California. Getting the license in New York will still take a few months. You can follow licenses awarded to X across the U.S. on your own from the NMLS website.”
Mishaboar further speculated that including cryptocurrency in X Payments might involve collaboration with exchanges or brokerage platforms, but the exact details remain to be seen.
It just seems a likely step-by-step process to do it though – when it comes to implementation, as well. If X payments turn out “just” as a kind of abstraction layer on top of several funding options things might be different and simpler though. I am just speculating here.
