Ok - here goes.
This is my FIRST ever post on a forum, so if I'm messing up sorry, I'll get better.
I've some questions about Dopecoin mining.
1) I've sync'd the wallet -ok, but the number of current active connections is 1. Do I need, to add a...ahhh .conf file and how?
2) Backup up the, currently empty, wallet - but articles that I've found on the 'net, not specifically about DopeCoin, state that I'll need to re-backup the wallet on occasion. I thought that the wallet was basically an access to an address, sort of, so as long as I have that address + access to it ie password then everything's kosher.
3)Buying Dopecoin is fairly straightforward, the wallet though has the feature - under options, a transaction fee/ kb? For what type of transaction? Dopecoin use in real life?
4) I've an idea about how DopeCoin could be more popular, but haven't read the entire 450+ pages of this forum. Are ideas that might be repeats ok to talk about, or as a newbie should I just stick to basic mining/forum questions?
Hope this posting works, odd to do + not exactly intuitive.

1) optional, do if you need to, examples can easily be found using search
2) do not save an unencrypted copy of your wallet.dat.
do save
multiple copys of your wallet.dat, on different media, and you should refresh the backup with every change you make to the wallet, as new addresses are created with almost every transaction. you may or may not want to export the private key(s).
3) the tx fee pays the miners for processing transactions, and helps prevent spammers from atacking. if you want to, you can pay extra, it should speed the tx
4) lots of free speech/libertarians around heah ... pls feel free
