Dogecoin has a software update

The developers have unveiled a new version of the Dogecoin Core software, calling it “a minor update with important performance improvements.” Users are recommended to upgrade to the new software version, and this can be done by installing over the existing client version 1.14.

One of the main improvements in Dogecoin Core 1.14.3 is the increased sync speed.

 

“This significantly improves the speed at which nodes can load blocks by removing costly integrity checks. In the past, they were carried out every time a block was transferred from one node to another, ”reads the update description.

 

In addition, the setting for storing cached transactions in the mempool has been changed from 336 hours to 24. The setting can be changed manually, however, the developers note that the default value is the most optimal for nodes.

Dogecoin was launched in 2013 on the bitcoin codebase as a prank cryptocurrency and has been gaining significant attention lately thanks to the backing of SpaceX founder Elon Musk. The previous version of the cryptocurrency client has been in use since November 2019, however, the developers recently announced the resumption of work on it.

 

“People say it’s a joke, but we follow the code very closely. When it took off, attention returned, and we want to keep the currency in working order, ”the project said.
