About 530,000 DOGE, on the order of $683 in the organizer’s print. Moolah matched. Kenya’s charity: water drive is a different month and a different NGO.

Published the open-source doginals repository in February 2023 and created Shibescription #0. The protocol extensions — multipart payloads, P2SH envelopes, and cross-transaction chaining — are theirs.

Introduced by Domo in March 2023 on Bitcoin Ordinals. DRC-20 follows the same three operations and the same social-consensus model.

Appeared around May 2023 with different confirmation and swap ideas. Cardinals inscriptions and Doginals inscriptions are not interchangeable.

github.com/dogecoin/dips holds BIP-0070/71/72 and DIP-0070/71/72 (payment protocol). Innovative work belongs as RFCs. Living changes are pull requests on dogecoin/dogecoin.

Announced by Musk on 9 May 2021 as a SpaceX moon rideshare. The FCC experimental packet describes a ~13.8 kg 12U craft with a screen for images sent home. Repeatedly slipped. Unflown as of 17 September 2026 on the lists this site trusts.

20 million DOGE coin goal, hit 6 February 2014 from 2,000+ donors, 4 Paws for Ability. Dollar class ~$30,000. The Indian Sochi raise was redirected here after NBC’s update that travel was already paid.

World Water Day drive for two wells in the Tana River area. @savethemhood tipped 14 million DOGE in one tweet. charity: water’s page closes the campaign at $31,996.70 on 31 March 2014.

Denis Pavel, 16, organized about 67 million DOGE (~$55,000). Wise finished 20th at Talladega, then won the All-Star fan vote over Danica Patrick. Conversion to dollars ran through shops that included Moolah.

Funds advocacy and trademark defense. 2021 advisers included Buterin, Birchall, and Markus. 2025 exclusive license to House of Doge. Core remains a GitHub client.

Public Soft Names product and API at dogecoinnames.com. Registers classic Doginals p:dns names into the buyer's wallet, coordinates soft holds with peer registrars (including dogefeed.app), and exposes resolve, manage, and marketplace flows. Not a rented web2 domain.

He tweeted “The Dogefather. SNL May 8.” Weekend Update’s Lloyd Ostertag then agreed Dogecoin was “a hustle.” Same night he also played Wario. The nickname is carnival, not an office.

Product and registrar tag dogefeed.app, listed beside dogesoft.io in the live approvedRegistrars config for Doge Soft Names. Registers into the same p:dns index and participates in shared soft-hold coordination while running its own UI.

About 26.5–27 million DOGE, converted to bitcoin, about $30,000 into Crowdtilt. Winston Watts and Marvin Dixon flew. They did not medal. Going was the point.

Josh Mohland forked altcointip in December 2013. Tips lived in a hot wallet, not in the commenter’s keys. In May 2017 he wiped balances after spending cold storage. The lesson is older than inscriptions: if a stranger holds the keys, you hold a story.

Deployed 11 March 2023 with a 21 million max supply in the Apezord/Doge Labs lineage. A later 2.1 billion deploy (often shown as DOGIM) belongs to indexers that start later.

A metaprotocol, pioneered by Apezord in February 2023, for inscribing arbitrary data onto individual shibes of Dogecoin. The on-chain bytes are ordinary Dogecoin transactions; meaning is assigned by indexers and wallets that agree to read them.

A BRC-20-style experimental token protocol using deploy, mint, and transfer JSON inscribed on Dogecoin. Balances exist only in indexer state machines, not in Dogecoin script.

Indexer literature sometimes says “elons” for the atomic unit when discussing early random block rewards. Wallets more often say koinu. Suchdoginals treats shibe as the ordinal unit and koinu as the monetary unit. The person is a different page: Elon Musk and Dogecoin. DRC-20 ticks spelled elon or musk are marketplace costumes, not his projects.

First public warmth 2 April 2019. SNL host 8 May 2021 (Dogefather and Wario). Tesla merch in DOGE from 14 January 2022. Civil case SDNY 22-cv-05037 dismissed 29 August 2024. Not a founder, not Core, not an SEC Dogecoin fine.

In Ordinals and Doginals, a sequence of pushes beginning with the string ord, then a content type, then the payload. Doginals adds part counts so content can span several pushes or transactions.

Equity. Not the Dogecoin unit of account. Buying HODO is not holding DOGE.

Trademark licensee: 5% of licensed net sales plus $200,000/month minimum for five years, per SEC filings. TDOG is a 21Shares ETF wrapper.

Dogecoin nodes validate money. Indexers watch the chain, decode inscription envelopes, number shibes, and compute DRC-20 balances. Different indexers can disagree; markets then pick a lineage.

A dog belonging to Atsuko Satō in Sakura, Chiba. A 13 February 2010 photograph became the 2013 Doge meme, then the face of Dogecoin. She died on 24 May 2024; the meme outlived the animal, as memes do.

Doginals and DRC-20 do not fork Dogecoin. They overlay extra meaning on valid transactions. If every indexer vanished, the bytes would remain; the token balances would not.

A scheme for giving each satoshi a serial number from the order it was mined, then attaching inscriptions to those sats. Doginals is the Dogecoin adaptation of that idea.

Inscriptions with JSON body field p set to dns carry Dogecoin name operations. op:reg registers a name; op:rec updates holder records such as addr (Pay) and url. Ownership follows the inscription UTXO. Indexers and products such as dogecoinnames.com read the same envelope.

A 2012 Bitcoin/Dogecoin address type that hides a redeem script behind a hash. Doginals encode inscription push-data in P2SH redeem scripts so content can ride along with a spend.

Dogecoin never gained Bitcoin’s Taproot. Marketplaces that wanted Bitcoin-like inscription sales had to invent a PSBT analogue so two parties could complete a trade without a trusted escrow script.

Taken from Litecoin. Early Dogecoin could not be mined with Bitcoin SHA-256 ASICs, which shaped who arrived in 2013 and how the chain felt: faster blocks, lighter folklore, heavier inflation.

By analogy with Bitcoin’s satoshi, a shibe is a 1/100,000,000 slice of one DOGE. Dogecoin’s native name for that unit is often koinu. Doginals numbering treats each shibe as uniquely ordered by mining and transfer history.

The Doginals name for an inscription. Shibescription #0, created 24 February 2023, is treated as the first in the Apezord lineage. Numbering is an indexer convention, not a Dogecoin consensus rule.

Inscription validity is not a consensus rule of Dogecoin. What counts as “the” Doginal or “the” DOGI is whatever wallets, markets, and indexers collectively treat as canonical.

Dogecoin, like Bitcoin, tracks coins as unspent outputs rather than account balances. Inscriptions stick to those outputs as they move.

An ord-style explorer associated with Doge Labs / dogeord.io, used as a window onto numbered shibes after the random-reward problem was solved.
