Can I farm DogeChia with my existing Chia plots?

Yes, existing Chia plots can be used to farm DogeChia. But as with all other Chia forks, NFT plots generated for pooling will not win a full reward right away. The reward allocated to the pool becomes available for you to claim 7 days later.

 

What is DogeChia’s prefarm?

The developer pre-farm for DogeChia is 300,000 XDG to support development and cloud infrastructure costs.

 

Is there a DogeChia Block Explorer?

Yes – Right here:

I noticed that you’ve called your fork “DogeChia”, but GitHub shows you forked Flax. What’s the deal?

We started as a fork of Flax, which itself is a fork of Chia. So we’re actually a fork of a fork of Chia. – We are not affiliated with Chia or Flax.

 

While our original codebase was a fork of Flax Network, we have since rebased with Chia at their version 1.2.2, which is our version 0.1.5. Since then we have added support for additional wallet types, implemented custom graphics, colored coin support, and addressed several bugs. Including a critical mempool bug Chia fixed at version 1.2.9. We recommend using the latest version of DogeChia at all times.

 

Didn’t you guys used to have a different URL?

 

Yes. We used to be at  DogeChia.org – Now we’re here at dogechi.org.  It’s the same blockchain, the same people and the same dog, but a different URL because there was a concern that some people might confuse us, a dog-themed parody crypto project with another, more serious project.
