I understand that there are performance issues with the 1.5 version, but if it is mandatory shouldn't there be a way to block earlier versions?  

I was really pleased that dogecoiners seem to have reacted remarkably calmly to this and although I loathe technical analysis and I am going to have to wash my mouth out after saying this, it does appear that 200 satoshis is a very strong line of technical resistance.  God - I feel so dirty.

EDIT - apparently it wasn't strictly mandatory.  I suspect there will be a more performant version of 1.5 coming out sooner rather than later.

*disclaimer*i read the reddit post on this, otherwise i know nothing*

the problem is many pools are still using version 1.4.x and below that uses BerkeleyDB, the wallet has been upgraded to Version 1.5.x which uses LevelDB
the problem will continue, occasionally, until most/all pools figure out how to switch to 1.5.x

if miners favor the pools that switched to 1.5.x, it might incentivize  the 1.4.x pools to get it figured out and upgrade

Thanks for the heads up. I wondered what was causing the price to crash.

Glad I was mining Vertcoin today Smiley

On Cryptsy, there was a dip that caused the rate to go from 226 satoshi to now about 217 satoshi. That is not by anyone's definition a "crash".

Semantics. It went from approx 225 to approx 200. That's a greater than 10% drop and would meet most peoples definition of a crash. Having said that, cryptos are highly volatile so a 10% drop is far from unusual. I saw a big red bar on coinedup and just wondered what was up.

There was a fork in January too, so a number of people know that although serious it is hardly life threatening.  I don't think Dogecoin is any more vulnerable to this than any coin that uses a blockchain.  

I never saw Litecoin or any other coin fork itself

Did you miss the bitcoin fork?

it hit 199 actually

I'm looking at the graphs right now, and I don't see where it hit 199. The lowest ask was 202, and the lowest close 205. We're not sitting back at 223.

Yup but smaller coins are not valuable enough and spread up enough to lure haters, ddosers, and another vermin.

Doge will suffer from forks because people will try to fork it to double spend. It will be easier and easier with the block reward halving and hashrate halving every 2 months. One big try there was approx. 3 weeks ago, when doge hashrate doubled twice for few minutes.

That's a 51% attack though right.  Smaller coins are more susceptible to this than large coins.

You can correct me, but bitcoin forked last year and I think digitalcoin has too.  There are probably others.
