Bi Dogecoin preživel, če bi ga kdo poskusil napasti

Dogecoin is known to many as the original meme-coin, and its supporters aspire to take it “to the moon.” Founded in 2013, it took many years for the coin to gain traction. Surprisingly, by May this year, the coin had rallied 14,000% with a market cap of $85 billion within just one year.

Despite the wider market corrections seen since then, the coin has surged 3,459.9% year-to-date (YTD). And most of that can be attributed to one person, Elon Musk. The self-proclaimed “Dogefather,” Musk had relentlessly tweeted about the coin, acting as a savior each time the coin went on downward traction. Just last week, the billionaire changing his Twitter profile picture in support of the joke-coin led to its price surging.

The most recent example of the pumping could be seen at “The B-Word” event, where Musk was one of the main panelists. The coin jumped 10.51% the day after the SpaceX CEO revealed that he held DOGE in his personal investment portfolio along with Bitcoin in Eter. He also spoke in support of the coin, stating, “The #Doge community has great memes and loves dogs, and I love dogs and memes.”

Zaskrbljujoči so primeri uporabe in nadgradnje

Such statements have left many bewildered in the past, and unarguably so. Time and again, analysts and enthusiasts have questioned the coin’s use case, its development capabilities, and its reliability as a serious investment option. In a recent Podcast, Neha Narula, director of the Digital Currency Initiative at the MIT Media Lab, raised a few important points about the network’s robustness and security. Narula, who was the moderator at the B-Word event, expressed her surprise at the fact that Dogecoin was not attacked yet, saying,

"Razumem, da v resnici ni bilo veliko ljudi, ki bi prispevali k osnovi dogecoin kode, uporabljali popravke, izvajali vozlišča, nadzirali omrežje in podobne stvari, zato sem resnično presenečen, da je vztrajal tako dolgo in sem sprašujem se, ali samo zato, ker se nihče ne trudi, da bi ga napadel. "

This was a valid concern, considering that the coin has seen no major network upgrades since 2015. While an infinite number of new coins and networks have emerged since then, the Doge network has remained the same for over 6 years. Not much can be expected from that either, as it was after all meant to be a joke. No matter, the coin did shift to an AuxPOW system in 2014, at the behest of Litecoin.

Vendar nenadgrajeno omrežje kovanca skupaj z uporabo vojnih ujetnikov že povzroča velike težave z omrežjem. Poleg tega je kovanec inflacijske narave, saj nima omejene zaloge, kot to velja za večino kovancev. Ti dejavniki skupaj lahko vodijo do tega, da rudarji zapustijo omrežje zaradi zniževanja nagrad, kar ima za posledico podaljšan čas blokade in nizko hitrost razpršitve.

Še pomembneje pa je, da bi to lahko omrežje postalo vse bolj dovzetno za 51% napadov, kar bi povzročilo naložbeno katastrofo. Narula je poudarila svoje pomisleke glede istega izreka,

"Dolgoročno mislim, da je resnična vrednost te tehnologije ta, da deluje v resnično decentraliziranem kontradiktornem okolju, kar pomeni, da mora biti resnično varna in dobro napisana, saj veste, če je ne bo razvijalcev, ki jo vzdržujejo, ne bi Prepričan sem, da je zelo varen. "

Kako daleč lahko Musk gre

Musk je razvojno težavo poskušal rešiti že prej, saj je bil leta 2019 imenovan za izvršnega direktorja mreže, potem ko so njeni ustanovitelji izstopili iz leta 2015. Od takrat je pridobil in financiral skupino programerjev s krajšim delovnim časom za delo na projektu, ki ga je razkril na Twitterju:

Sodelovanje z razvijalci Doge za izboljšanje učinkovitosti sistemskih transakcij. Potencialno obetaven.

Kmalu zatem je izvršni direktor Tesle na Twitterju pozval tudi razvijalce, naj prispevajo k razvoju s predložitvijo idej. Narula pa je verjela, da to v resnici ne bo rešilo težav, s katerimi je kovanec obsojen, čeprav jih bo le povečalo z oviranjem njegovega decentralizacijskega etosa. Rekla je,

"Elon ne more samo najeti kopice razvijalcev in jih pripraviti, da jih zgradijo, ker če postane res velik, potem veste, da obstaja majhna skupina razvijalcev, ki lahko nekdo odide k njim in reče, hej, to se dogaja v vašem omrežju. da ga zaprete. "
