 Fuck it. Just gonna print a paper wallet.  
 not sure what you expected, Doge was built as a joke. 
 Why do they even bother to maintain this garbage? 
 that and Solana, the other networks at least work sanely

Solana falls apart because they somehow managed to fuck up even PoS beyond repair that also means the network can go down due to one bad node

these deserve a new category 
 there might be some people that think it's a real project, but my guess would be they're riding the hype toward speculative profit. 
 Its literally going to take hours just to sync the headers.  
 Isn't DOGE basically a fork of bitcoin with all it's known vulns and bugs? How actively maintained is their project? 
 Usually seripus shitcoin fork repos will merge non-breaking uncontroversial optimizations as they present themselves in original repo releases.
