Dogecoin Wallet

About this app

Have your Dogecoins always with you, in your pocket! You pay by quickly scanning a QR-code. As a merchant, you receive payments reliably and instantly. Dogecoin Wallet is the first mobile Dogecoin app, and arguably also the most secure!

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use this wallet for mining or faucets!! Receiving lots of huge transactions, typically made by pools or faucets, can make the wallet extremely slow! A desktop wallet is better for mining purposes. A mobile wallet should be used for the coins you need on the go. :)

NOTE ABOUT TRANSACTION FEE
With the latest official Dogecoin client the rules for transaction fees have been changed. This app automatically selects the right fee for you, so the transactions won't get stuck. The minimum fee for a transaction is 1 DOGE. Additional fees are mandatory if you send amounts smaller than 1 DOGE. This is an attempt to fight "Spam"-Transactions which would otherwise hurt the network.

FEATURES:

• No registration, web service or cloud needed! This wallet is de-centralized and peer to peer.
• Display of Dogecoin amount in DOGE and mDOGE.
• Conversion to and from national currencies.
• Sending and receiving of Dogecoin via NFC, QR-codes or Dogecoin URLs.
• Address book for regularly used Dogecoin addresses.
• When you're offline, you can still pay via Bluetooth.
• System notification for received coins.
• App widget for Dogecoin balance.

Ratings and reviews

The app works but it takes a long time to synchronize with the network the first time you use it. If you think doge are missing it is likely because the app as not caught up to that block yet. To check look at network monitor in the menu then select block. This will tell you what date it is at. It took nearly a day to get up to dec 2020 and is taking a lot longer to catch up the last month, presumably because fewer peers have the latest blocks. Likely because of influx of new users/peers.

I have played with this app for a couple weeks and can confirm it is not a scam. I have both sent and received coin to/from this wallet. One thing I did notice is that everytime you get an incoming transaction, your address changes. Not sure if the ones who lost coin used the same address for multiple transactions, but if so that might be why it was lost. Once it is synced with the blockchain it works like it should. I dont like that it stays connected to the network unless you disconnect.

Do not install this wallet! Takes a week to sync. Crashes 4/5 launches. If I hadn't already transferred my coins I'd delete this app and RUN! (2 days later edit) this app is the worst app I have ever tried to use and I would rather have installed a virus. It has crashed 200 or more times im still only half way to "sync" and I can barely get the thing to open let alone start syncing and it will just crash mid sync. The wallet has eaten my coin. if I cannot resolve this im going to be pissed.

What's new

- More aggressive peer selection logic. This should help with the syncing. The Dogecoin network has been a bit overwhelmed with the influx of new users. Work to improve this is being done as we speak. This isn't really a problem with this app, so bear with it ;)
- Fixed calculation of fees. No more stuck transactions because of low fees!
- Updated checkpoints to massively reduce the amount of syncing for new and recently created and restore wallets.

DON'T USE FOR MINING POOL OR FAUCET PAYOUTS!
