Crypto enthusiast Doge Whisperer announced the release plan for Dogecoin<\/a> upgrade 1.46.6, which includes better wallet<\/a> protection and improved address message handling.<\/strong><\/p>\n As much of the $1.3 trillion crypto market goes through a bearish winter following the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin<\/a> and threats of a global recession, there is good news on the horizon for Elon Musk\u2019s \u201cpet\u201d memecoin, DOGE.<\/p>\n Announcements made by crypto enthusiast Doge Whisperer and Dogecoin News suggest that DOGE\u2019s upgrade to 1.46.4<\/a> is imminent, with improved wallet protection and better handling of address messages among the \u201cMUST HAVE.\u201d<\/p>\n Doge Whisperer posted<\/a> the upgrade\u2019s rollout schedule on Twitter and a GitHub link<\/a> to DOGE\u2019s source code repository. In the tweet, they praised the dev team behind the upgrade, \u201cWay to build team,\u201d while acknowledging the author of the rollout plan Patrick Lodder.<\/p>\n In addition to wallet protection and better address message handling, Lodder has promised that a known bitcoin vulnerability will be fixed. The Dogecoin Core wallet, the Dogecoin foundation\u2019s official desktop wallet, will be cheaper. At the same time, a Gitian script will be released to allow future updates. Gitian scripts enable multiple developers to create identical executables, all signed by multiple parties, to ensure that the executables use the same source code. It removes the chance of errors occurring during executable creation and distribution.<\/p>\n Lodder also includes \u201cSHOULD HAVE\u201d goals in the timeline, such as a dependency update and \u201can important cleanup.\u201d These, Lodder says, the dev team needs to do their best to merge.<\/p>\n Other non-critical issues falling under the \u201cCOULD HAVE\u201d category are cleaning up code warnings when code compiles (turning human-understandable code to code that a computer can understand) and improving ease of use.<\/p>\n Dogecoin developers include<\/a> lead maintainer Ross Nicoll, Michi Lumin, Lodder, and Escanor Liones.<\/p>\n In a recent Twitter exchange with Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said<\/a> he believes that DOGE has \u201cpotential\u201d as a currency. He noted that developers should focus on lowering transaction fees, reducing the time it takes to validate a block of transactions, and increasing the number of transactions in a block. Dogecoin\u2019s current block time is one minute, compared to 10 minutes for bitcoin.<\/p>\n Musk has been a vocal proponent of DOGE, making announcements that have sent the cryptocurrency soaring<\/a> on multiple occasions. The most recent surge in price came after an announcement<\/a> that Musk had become a Twitter shareholder. He went on to agree to buy the social media company but, at the time of writing, threatened<\/a> to withdraw his offer because the company hadn\u2019t disclosed the extent of its problem with spam bots.<\/p>\n All the information contained on our website is published in good faith and for general information purposes only.
