I hope to confirm the Hysteria award but this time will be harder because I have been inactive in the last part of the year
Regardless of that, people are going to vote whoever they think is the best, regardless of activity. Like, I'm pretty sure that two of the best players of the few past years are going to win once again this time, even though they have been mostly playing elite/intermediate at a rate of about one game per week ;)

I'll do my best to show up tomorrow at 16 GMT, but this is not a promise.
If I happen not to make it, we can hopefully meet in the weekend during afternoon/evening hours.

Vok/Triad, can you play on Friday?

I'm not an expert, but here's an explanation which hopefully is accurate enough:

Dogecoin is a digital currency system working as a decentralized p2p network.

You can store your dogecoins in a wallet on your hard drive.
There are also online wallets, for example http://www.coinedup.com - you can log in there with a google account.

You can send dogecoins to someone else in transactions which are identified by encrypted code (you can send the code via the internet or even write it down on paper).

In order to prevent fraud, every transaction has to be confirmed (verified) by the network.

The confirmation process is done by solving cryptographical problems embedded in the transaction keyphrase.

You get awarded by coins for providing your computing power to the network (also known as "mining"). That's how new coins are distributed.

There is a fixed number of coins in the network. Currently, there are about 10 billion in circulation and this number will increase asymptotically until it reaches a maximum value of 100 billion long time from now.

If there are too many miners, the network automatically adjusts the "difficulty" of the problems needed to decrypt the transactions in order not to distribute more coins than expected.

Higher difficulty requires more processing power required to obtain coins.

The exchange rate of dogecoin is determined by supply and demand. Currently, the network is totally flooded with coins, that's why the price is so low.

Due to relatively low difficulty, you can mine thousands of coins per day (a few dollars worth) with an average PC, even more with a high-end one.

There are people out there who can obtain millions of coins per day with extremely powerful racks. Even if you subtract the electricity costs, it turns out to be quite a profitable activity ;)

As more and more users join the network, it will get progressively harder to get new coins (a good thing) and the price will increase. But if the interest is lost, the coins will remain easily obtainable (a bad thing) for those who stick around, negatively affecting the value.

Hope that clears things up a little bit 8)

6500 per day is a nice amount. I'd say keep it running. Unless you are using a borderline energy-inefficient PC or the cost of the electricity in your house is sky-high, the number of coins you get is totally enough to cover the power bill. You can also remote control your PC and turn the miner off if the situation gets sticky.

i doubt dogecoin will become as expensive as bitcoin, after all there is 1 billion of dogecoins unlike bitcoin with like 21 million, still worth a try
Of course it will not, there will be a total of 100 billion doges (about 5000 times more than bitcoins). The future of dogecoin depends on its popularity, more people = more mining difficulty = higher price. The exchange rate will not fly up to several cents per doge as long as you can easily mine thousands per day with a decent PC ;)
