Dogecoin launching a new update this month.
Dogecoin (DOGE) has been making headlines of late. Crypto has gained the support of some of the heavy-weights in the industry, including Tesla’s Elon Musk. Recently, Elon engaged in a Twitter spat with one of DOGE’s co-founders, Jackson Palmer, about his coding abilities. It now appears that while these two were “sparring,” DOGE’s core developers were busy planning an upgrade of the system.
It’s worth noting here that Palmer left the Dogecoin project over 7 years ago.
A recent tweet reported that a DOGE core developer, Patrick Lodder, was liaising with others to implement a system upgrade, dubbed update 1.14.6. Patrick had earlier on posted about it on Reddit. You can find the GitHub version here.

The Must Haves
According to Patrick, a few things must be fixed before the update is released. These include enhanced wallet protection, fixes for known Bitcoin vulnerabilities, fixes for potential DOGE vulnerabilities, making the Dogecoin Core wallet cheaper to use, an easy-to-use gitian script, and improved handling of address messages.
The Should Haves
He also mentioned a few other updates that Dogecoin should. These aren’t necessarily a must to be included when the update happens. These include dependency updates and a few others that are in development.
The Could Haves
This group of updates isn’t necessarily important and the system can still work without them, but Patrick feels they could be included now or at a future date. These include better clean-up modules, increased secrets entropy, increased system performance, and cleanup of compiling. There are a few others still in the draft stage.
How Is DOGE Responding?
The DOGE community is already excited about the upcoming updates, and the crypto has already seen a positive impact on price. At the time of this writing, DOGE is trading at around $0.083 and posting a 2.5% increase on the daily.
