We were delighted to welcome our guest from Dogira. Having a meme on the front of a coin is great – having an amazing community is also great. But Dogira wants to focus much harder on technical innovation.
The AMA took place on April 16th, 2021 and our guest was @EoghanH.
The total reward pool was 500$ and was divided into three parts. In this AMA Recap we will try to summarize some of the most interesting points for you.
Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Telegram&Bitcointalk community
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Hello dear community, we are glad to introduce you Dogira’s project. Our guest today is @EoghanH, welcome to Satoshi Club
Eoghan: Hey @AndresM77 – many thanks, delighted to be here! 😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Hello again, dear community! Hello and welcome to Satoshi Club, @EoghanH!😊 I think we won’t have a boring AMA today 😁
Eoghan: Thanks Gold, greatly appreciate the invite to be with you all today! 😁hahaha, I’ll make sure of it!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Come on, give us a little intro to warm up 😉 Introduce youreself. How did you get to be involved in crypto & Dogira?
Eoghan: Sounds like a plan! 😁
So, my name’s Eoghan, and I’m a project lead/lead developer on the $DOGIRA Project. I originally entered cryptocurrency back in 2013/2014 (save for mining some bitcoin on a very old GPU..), and have been maintained a massive interest in cryptocurrency – and in particular, services/utility development for crypto ever since. My largest project around that time was with working on the original Dogecoin codebase, leading one of the first major patches that hit the community. I worked directly with the DigiByte team, and we implemented the gravity well algorithm into the 1.6 client. This was an intentional hard fork on the network which was targeted towards mitigating the negative effect that multipools were having on the coin. After launch, we saw our market cap jump around 25% – and of course, we all know the story of Dogecoin from there 😁 Outside of that, I worked with the community as a moderator on r/dogecoin, continued to contribute towards the codebase development, and built additional services such as voltmodded ASICs for community use, and the likes!
7 years on, I’ve still maintained a love for crypto (and of course, for doge!), and for development services; albeit, with a little more grey hair, and a lot more professional/industry-level experience behind me 😁
And apologies, I’ll try keep my answers a little shorter so we don’t have quite as much dead air and sticker time between questions 😂
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: What is the essence of your project? In your understanding?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: No problem, very interesting history and background btw😃
Eoghan: For Dogira, it’s in making what we always wanted Dogecoin to be from the start.
Having a meme on the front of a coin is great – having an amazing community is also great. But we want Dogira to focus much harder on technical innovation, and being at the forefront of Blockchain 2.0/3.0.
Dogira is targeting Native Blockchain Gaming services under our development cycle, and true, tangible value-rewarding NFTs. We want to ensure that our token has true long-term value, rather than just joining the big pool of new coins which fire and forget. We’re building for the long run, and hope to provide continual, safe returns for all of our traders, investors, and hodlers 🙂
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: it means you are a crypto romance 😉
Eoghan: Oh, most definitely 😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Yes, in a world where money rules, this is rare 😁 I will ask another standard question and move on to questions from the community.😉
Eoghan: Well, don’t get us wrong – we want everyone to share in the profits from Dogira! But we want to make sure those profits aren’t just earned off hype or word-of-mouth, or the richest man on earth unexpectedly telling everyone to buy us 😜
We want long-term returns for all of our members, based off true value and innovation in our blockchain-powered world 🤘
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Also we would like to know about your team. Who is on the project team? Yes, that’s a good goal! 😊
Eoghan: Of course! So alongside myself, we’ve an amazing community team who work hard to ensure we’ve a welcoming, and fun environment for everyone on board with the coin – and of course, our community themselves, who have been hard at work spreading the word, and making an amazing environment for everyone to take part in!
On the official level, there’s Dan, one of the founders at Adapt Crypto, who is in an Operations role. We’ve Mia, a Senior AWS Developer who is serving as another Engineer on the team, and we’ve Skyler who’s running the show when it comes to Marketing. We’re big on having an open, and transparent team – you always need to see the faces behind the businesses you’re investing in 😁
And of course, it goes without saying – all of our team are massive Crypto enthusiasts in their own right 😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thank you very much for the great intro! let’s start with community questions🚀
Eoghan: Sounds great, let’s do it! 😁
Q1 from Telegram User @alptrader
As I read on your website Eoghan Hayes joins the Dogira team, who developed Dogecoin. Experienced members are good for security and this is important. But while checking the smart contract audit I’ve seen that the smart contract is audited by War on Rugs. Don’t you think it would be good to make multi audits and being audited by known firms like Certik? Do you think that’s enough for being sure that your smart contract is secure? Or do you have additional measures for the security?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: oops 😁
Eoghan: Yes, I completely agree – one audit is never enough, and the more safety and reassurances we can provide to long-term hodlers and investors, the better. Absolutely.
We’re currently reaching out to multiple other third-party companies for security audits, and are working hard on ensuring we can have our V2 token contract pre-audited before release. And of course, our CEX partners have additionally reviewed our contracts to ensure both their safety, and their trader’s safety.
This is a great point from alptrader – security audits are super important for all coins, especially in this very hectic bull-run where new coins are almost appearing by the second. Great question! 😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: safety first! and our members also consider you to be an indicator of the project’s safety 😁
Eoghan: Well, I would like to think at this point, I have a good track record! One of the last things I did while officially involved with the Dogecoin project was whistleblow on someone who stole approximately $1.8million in cryptocurrency. He was thankfully apprehended by law enforcement, and faced trial shortly after.
Everyone’s safety is paramount, as far as I’m concerned.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for the answer! Do you want to add something or we can move on to the next question😉
Eoghan: Well, for anyone who wants to read into the interesting, but harrowing story of the scammer above – CNN ran an article about him, and included my statements on the case here: https://www.ccn.com/after-two-major-employee-confessions-bitcoin-exchange-ceo-alex-green-no-doubt-exposed-long-time-scammer/
Crypto is full of individuals who are looking for quick scams and exits – Dogira is being led by a team who has dealt with the worst of them, and wants to assure our investors that we’re here to protect them from a point of experience.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: You did a very good job. Scamers must be punished😉
Eoghan: Absolutely – the more we ensure that they face justice, the more we deter other would-be thieves from attempting the same. Crypto is evolving and maturing; and it’s time to make sure we can do that together, and invest safely as a collective group 👌
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: by the way, I really like your site. it is very informative and not overloaded and also has good graphics. Give the designers respect 👏👏👏
Eoghan: Oh, many thanks! That one was actually put together by myself.. it was my first time in years building something in WordPress, so I appreciate the Compliment! 😂 We’ve actually a brand new site in development at the moment, built with Vue.js!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Thank you for the answer, are you ready to proceed with the next question?
Eoghan: Most definitely! 👍
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: 😁I hit the very heart😉❤️
Q2 from Telegram User @KASG95
You say that the first batch of investment NFT “has been exhausted”, but could you really tell us when and how this activity was carried out? Also, did you mention to us if you will make any next NFT sales and promotions? If so, could you give us the date to participate in it?
Eoghan: So, originally we built an investment NFT to fundraise to get us listed on our first CEX – give me a quick moment, and I’ll grab the link for you to post here!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Yes, please. Which is the price of those NFTs?
Eoghan: These NFTs retailed at 0.5 ETH each, and we made 40 available.. they sold out in 10 hours, and are currently being re-listed for $10,000+ each 😬 which is a bit high for my pockets personally, but it’s awesome that people are aiming for getting massive returns off these – alongside the 10,000 Dogira that will be airdropped to them for holding them at the end of April!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: I see, amazing design😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: This is an incredible success.🚀
Eoghan: So, we’re huge fans of building bespoke, and unique NFTs of High Quality!
We put these online at around midnight UTC, and they were all sold out before the team woke up the next morning – these particular NFTs return 10,000 Dogira via airdrop into the wallets of all holders at the end of April, so as of today’s price, they’re all already up in profit!
100% of the funds (minus gas/listing fees) went towards our CEX/Marketing fund, ensuring that the investment fed directly back to the coin, and all of it’s holders 😁
Eoghan: Thank you! We love building NFTs, and strive for the highest quality in them wherever possible – looking good is a decent step in increasing resale value for our investors 😉
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: It is very cool! I want it 😁
Eoghan: Well, good news – and to answer the last bit on the question above, we’re going to be developing, and releasing new Investment NFTs very soon! 😁 Keep an eye on our homepage at https://dogira.net , and our telegram at https://t.me/dogiratoken to be the first in line for one!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: I can’t stop looking at this 🙈
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: So, those NFTs have another use different of collections?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Me too, team godzilla😁
Eoghan: We’ll see what we can do about getting a Satoshi Club version built to commemorate this occasion 😉
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: That would be awesome😱
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Wow! i just can’t believe it 😁 You are very generous ❤️
Eoghan: So, these ones airdrop a set amount of Dogira back into your wallet after holding for 1 month – and with our move towards native blockchain gaming, we’re currently working on getting even more use-cases in here; such as being able to trade and display your NFTs in-game, or even equip them on your character 😁 Tell your readers and listeners to get in fast, they don’t want to miss the Satoshi Club x Dogira NFT spin-off series! 😁
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Thank you for the clarification, would you like to add something before the next question?
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Join Satoshi Clubbers🚀🚀🚀
Eoghan: We’ll have way more NFTs releasing in the future – so, if you missed out on the first batches, don’t despair; there’s many more coming! 😁 and of course, we’re verified on Rarible, ensuring that your ability to re-sell is as protected as it can be!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Don’t forget to share with Satoshi Club please🙏
Eoghan: Of course – if we’re all in agreement, your names will be on one of them! 😁 We’ll work out the finer details after our AMA 😉
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Thank you, let’s proceed with the next question
Q3 from Telegram User @Highpee
There is a hype about Dogira Native Blockchain Gaming. Nowadays, blockchain based games are springing up daily without a specific direction as some projects only offer gaming into blockchain integration. So, what will be special about Dogira Native Blockchain Games? What type of games are you proposing/introducing and how possible will it be for you to offer blockchain into gaming as a reward rather than a mere native integration? What type of immutable experience do you think Dogira blockchain-driven games will offer to those interested in your gamified tokens as well as core gamers?
Eoghan: Another great question – and yep, that’s been one of my own concerns with a lot of projects springing up lately. They talk about enhancing gaming experiences, without really giving any clue as to what they’re looking to do with their projects! And it’s something our team has extensively spoken about internally 🙂
So, the reality is that the sky is the limit for blockchain gaming – pending you’ve got your foundations in place. One of our major goals across the upcoming year is to develop an SDK which all developers can take advantage of, and easily allow them to integrate blockchain-specific functionality into their game. From something as simple as authentication via wallet signature, to using Dogira as the in-game currency for your game – stretching into far more advanced stuff such as implementing verified anti-cheat technology, we want to get this into the hands of ALL developers, not just ourselves.
A big goal for us is seeing games integrate with cryptocurrency seamlessly – and utilise the full power of the blockchain in specialised scenarios. Say for example, a game that ran 100% on the blockchain; you can purchase items from any NFT store, craft or combine them in-game, and receive new NFTs or tokens in return across your adventures.
We’re looking at turning pay-to-play, into pay-from-play 😉 and of course, all of these functionalities just adds more inherent value to the NFTs and Tokens that are being traded – you don’t need to be a gamer to understand that if an NFT is worth as much as a $100 in-game item, that it can sell for $100 very easily on the open market! 😁
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: I should recognize that you have an amazing project, btw could you tell us about your recent partnerships?
Eoghan: Of course! So, on the official side with ourselves, we’re partnered with FEG – and they’ve just been awesome in assisting us in getting our names out there, and in helping us build value for the community.
On the gaming side, I previously worked in the Games Development industry – and was lucky enough to have a title I developed myself hit the #1 spot on Steam just over a year ago, earning stream-time from a lot of major twitch influencers 🙂
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: By studying your biography, I understand how boring I live. 😁
Eoghan: This is my own game, released last year; https://store.steampowered.com/app/1162930/Split_or_Steal/
And right now, we’re planning on hosting some events in-game which will allow people to compete for Dogira. What’s better again is that Split or Steal is based around the idea that you can steal from someone.. so, if any of you ever wanted to experienced scamming, or getting scammed in a safe online environment where you don’t have to pay in, well, you’re in luck! 😂
We’re hoping to have this event running in the upcoming weeks!
Eoghan: Don’t worry, it riddles me with anxiety! 😂
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: I’m not worried, I don’t have time to admire! You are a unique person to be honest. 😁
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Completely agree😁
Eoghan: Oh, and we’re currently working on our WhitePaper for Dogira’s V2 Contract upgrade – And we’re hoping we’ll have some more partners to announce shortly after! 😁 You’re making me blush 😂❤️
And in return, you all have built one of the best crypto communities out there at the moment – we all love Satoshi Club over at Dogira Central! 😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Please share a roadmap for the near and future future by the way😉 These are very valuable words for us.❤️
Eoghan: Of course! It’s posted with lots more detail over at https://dogira.net, but let me drop our quick-read poster on here for everyone!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: You have successfully passed the first quarter as I see
Eoghan: We have – and we’re very hard at work on our 2nd Quarter! We’ve already hit our first DEX and CEX listings, we’ve got our first version of the new website up, we’re in the middle of a $100,000 marketing spend, and we’re hard at work in creating new Reward-based NFTs!
It looks like something from Q3 may be getting moved into the Q2 category 😉
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: We see, you are reaching your targets so fast 🥳 Maybe will be possible to see the Gaming services expansion before Q4
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Amazing🚀🚀🚀
Eoghan: I think that’s super important for every new crypto project – set targets, and deliver on them in a timely fashion. It’s the best way to build mutual trust with your investors, traders, hodlers, and of course – speculators on the fence 😊
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: especially speculators 😂
Eoghan: We won’t make any major promises this far away – but right now, everything is looking great for the future 😁
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Congratulations
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Are you ready for the next question😁
Eoghan: Well, we told them to get in while the price was 3c – now, we’re telling them to get in while the price is only 8c. I have a feeling we’ll be telling them about the price still looking great to jump in at 20c in the near future! 😂
But of course, this is easy for us to say when we’re still so far away from what we think is a fair price target for our Dogira 😉
Eoghan: Of course! Let’s do this! 🚀
Q4 from Telegram User @dudeiebitch
20 days ago (i.e march 27 2021) on your Reddit account you dropped a memo about deploying the dogecity v2, because one of your team members tried getting away with funds. I will like to know if you have deployed the version 2 already and how is the former token we purchased on the V1.
I will also like to know who covered the loss that was carted away, what are also the assurance that all our funds are secured and something like that won’t happen again.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: fomo will work sooner or later 😁
Eoghan: Excellent question again – we found that one of the old team members (obviously, since removed) was exploiting a tool we built which was intended to reward community members who helped spread the word about the coin. He was funnelling Dogira in to tonnes of different wallets “owned by community members” – which were actually all him.
We found that he sold well in excess of over $100,000 worth of coin. I spotted this after a few days of onboarding on to the project.
Myself and Mia worked through the night in writing up the DogeCity V2 contract, in order to safely move the funds out of reach from this person, and ensure they could do no further damage. Following this, we immediately contacted Cipher Blade, a cryptocurrency forensics & investigation group.
Eoghan: We’re delighted to announce that following a short few weeks of investigation and action on their part, we have now recovered 100% of the fund that was stolen. The fund was then split between re-buying Dogira at market pricing to recover from the price dip that was caused by that person’s sell-offs; and any remaining was then put towards our current marketing blitz, following community consultation.
Action is still continuing against the individual in particular, to ensure they can never attempt this again against any other communities.
As I said, we have a track record to maintain in punishing scammers 🙂
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: You saved Dogira👏
Eoghan: We only upgraded our community contract wallet to V2, which required no hard fork – our V2 token upgrade is still under development, and we’ll be hoping to have news on this in the very near future.
We’re prioritising our V2 token upgrade (previously under Q3.. this may well be what arrives into Q2 😉), but not out of any need for additional security – we just want to get all of our intended features, especially surrounding Blockchain Native Gaming, and NFT Reward systems in place as soon as possible so we can then focus on developing the more creative side of our content, and get way more of it out there for everyone to enjoy, consume, and share 😎
Eoghan: Massive props are owed to Mia for this one too – without them working all through the night with the team, we’d never have been able to turn everything around in less than 12 hours after I raised the alarm!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Great work, unfortunately that things sometimes happen
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thank you very much for your honest answers! ready to proceed?😊
Eoghan: Indeed, but I think everyone can agree – a 12 hour turnaround with absolutely zero coins lost is something we can all celebrate in the face of these events 😎 Yes indeed! 😁🚀
Q5 from Telegram User @Arisabela
Personally, I am not a fan of putting my money in “meme coins”, many times the market can be too volatile, is Dogira Token thought to be just that? a meme coin? What will the sustainability of your currency be based on in the future?
Eoghan: Definitely not – Dogira is a coin with a meme on the front, but it’s anything but a meme coin behind it.
We’re basing our long-term value off our value-inherent NFTs, which I think proved their own merit after selling out $35,000 worth in 10 hours! And of course, combining that with our Native Blockchain System, and intent towards building a development ecosystem that allows everyone to jump on board, and dip their toes into launching their own games using our upcoming SDK – and not to mention, our NFT/Token launchpad which will further bring these major components together!
Technical innovation is at the forefront of Dogira. We absolutely love our community (and their memes) – but we want to drive and empower that through innovation.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Does community activity affect the final product?
Eoghan: We share your own views on “meme” tokens – and unfortunately, yes, I believe we’ve been mis-categorised by more than a few people as we originally launched very close to the memecoin explosion.
A lot of coins are appearing with zero value, zero use-cases, and zero real roadmaps or direction for the future. These will be the coins that hurt investors once that bubble pops – we on the other hand, are focusing our efforts towards developing real value, and real use-cases for a token that we want to stand out among the crowd.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: So, which are the main benefits for Dogira holders?
Eoghan: Of course – our community are one of the most incredibly important voices for us as developers. We want to get them excited about what we’re building, and we want to hear about all the things that they want to get excited about to! We have a core development vision and goal, but community input is always a massive contributor to our success.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Do you have different local communities? Could you share links of it if you want😁
Eoghan: Having a currency that will see real uses cases outside of “just hodl and pray” – we’re empowering our token with real technical innovation. We want to see it being used as currency within other hit games, and we want to keep creating NFTs with use-cases and investment opportunities which will allow people to reap the rewards from long term hodling – no “praying” required! 😁
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Incredible 👏 a great project with fundamentals
Eoghan: We’re currently in the midst of working with our community managers to set up new communities catering to other languages – this has become a big request during our growth period, so we’re working hard on making it happen, and ensuring that Dogira can be empowered by the global crypto community 😁
We’ll have more details on this dropping on our website, and over on our telegram soon!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: “just hodl and pray” 😁 lol I remember this expression
Eoghan: Yes 😂 it sure works sometimes – pending you know when to jump off! We want to see real value, where prayers aren’t required; just technical progress and innovation from a team you can trust 😌
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: We will be waiting for news about it
Eoghan: Maybe an NFT with some country flags included would be good to spread the word? 😉
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Haha it depends of the luck, that’s no good
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: I hope to see my country’s flag one day😁
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: As a Hispanic American I hope to see some flags fro south america there 😁
Eoghan: Those both sound like fantastic ideas! 😁
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Thank you so much for those exciting answers, are you ready to know the last question of this part of the AMA?🥳
Eoghan: Of course! 😁
Q6 from Telegram User @sofiaisla
I read on your website that you still have to find any dragon sanctuary / Shribe for the Charity campaign of animals. Could you tell us when you plan to do this? What charities do you plan to select? Would users help make donations? How would these be carried out? Do you have plans to make more donations?
Eoghan: We’ve not yet engaged with our animal charity friends on this yet – we’re currently working with our community to get ideas for which charities they would like to see funding donated to! And we’re hoping to start getting moving on this in the very near future 😁
For donations, we of course are looking towards limited edition NFTs as one of the many options available – grab yourself a nice High Quality 3D Rendered image of our furry/scaley friends, and help them out at the same time!
Eoghan: We’re hoping to make this a staple of our token – being able to give back to the community, and do our part to keep our animal friends happy and safe.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Great initiative
Eoghan: Thank you! Giving back to the community, and especially to our animal friends is always something that we love to see – and we’re very proud to have our own part to play in that 😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Good deeds and care for the environment are very important in our time
Eoghan: Definitely – we can look after ourselves by taking the time to look after others 🙂
Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community
Q1 from Telegram User @highpee
Apart from the first NFT investment sale which is already concluded, do you plan to run another set of NFT sale to accommodate investors who were unaware of the first sale and missed out? And will they also qualify to receive the planned Dogira NFT Airdrop if they are able to purchase the NFT?
Eoghan: Yes! We’re actually hard at work at some new Community & Investment NFTs right now – and will be sharing the details on https://t.me/dogiratoken once they’re ready to drop.
Every NFT would carry its own properties in so far as Airdrops and the likes are concerned – but every NFT will clearly list them on their own listing pages! 😁
Q2 from Telegram User @Derazy
Are you satisfied with current price of the DOGIRA Token? Do you think $DOGIRA can compete with other token at the market? What is your program to maintain the price of your token.
Eoghan: Well, and before I answer – do keep in mind that obviously, I’m quite biased as one of the leads on the project 😉 so, keep in mind this isn’t financial advice, and always DYOR!
I think right now, personally, that DOGIRA is massively undervalued. We’re not even at a $10mil market cap yet (even though we recently doubled!) – and I think our biggest run is still yet to come. We’re seeing tokens with zero use-cases and copy/pasted contract code hit $100mil+ in market cap; and what sets us apart is we’re building for actual long-term value, with a professional team of veteran developers on board.
So, personally for me.. I think buying Dogira today is buying Dogira at a massive discount. We have a tonne more events and news-drops planned over the next while, and will be continuing to tread these roads with the aim towards seeing the coin keep growing in size 😁
Q3 from Telegram User @smelekin
Would you want Elon Mask to shill about Dogira project on twitter?
Eoghan: Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s too easy to get the richest man on earth to promote your coin 😂 but hey – maybe the old Doge team might swing a little weight towards him 😉 Never say never!
With that though, it’s so amazing to see notable public figures get involved with Cryptocurrency. It really shows that we’re on the cusp of the Blockchain becoming a real-world, everyday thing for everyday people. And it’s still so early in the day for us – I think Blockchain right now is like the Internet in 1996. It was there, but mostly thought of as a gimmick/flash in the pan.
And as the years rolled on.. it became absolutely integral to the world we live in 😁
Q4 from Telegram User @BlancaSdF
Integrate Dogira to games and fantastic and something unprecedented, you plan to launch multiple games for it, could you detail what types of games you have in mind?
Eoghan: In the immediate future, we’re looking at integrating events and Dogira rewards into Split or Steal on steam; https://store.steampowered.com/app/1162930/Split_or_Steal/
Which we’re hoping to get rolled out over the upcoming weeks! This of course would only be one of our first, basic inclusions of Dogira inside a game – our plans for the future involve far more ambitious integrations, such as having tokens tradeable in online worlds, or displaying your NFTs as statues within a game world – and even earning tokens in-game as rewards for carrying out quests, or being a standout virtual trader, or craftsperson 😁
The sky really is the limit when it comes to Blockchain Gaming – and we’ve not seen anything yet on the market which even touches on what the Blockchain can do for games. This is something that our team hopes to get remedied in our future 😎
Q5 from Telegram User @Gutike95
I understand that you want to provide your project with tangible long-term value and real use cases, but really what “real use cases” can Dogira be used for in the future? only in NFT games?
Eoghan: Well, gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry in itself 😉 Popular AAA games get up to a billion of revenue on a single title. NFTs sell for tens of millions. The “only NFT and games” part depends on how you look at it; our goal is to monetize NFTs and gaming, flowing money to players, creators and our stakeholders.
In our Whitepaper we will describe the precise mechanism and how revenue is generated for different channels. Overall, the value proposition of Dogira is that as a holder, your could just stake your Dogira in our upcoming staking portal and passively profit from all reward channels we introduce in the future.
Further to that then, as a player you will be able to earn money; you are basically “staking your playtime” which gives you rewards. And not to mention, on gamification on our side.. There will additionally be a reward-staking lottery, where you can participate for a chance to win a good chunk of the reward pool, if you want to leave a little bit of life up to lady luck 😉.
And of course, far more channels will come in the future for all of our hodlers, and traders. We’re very much looking at the big picture here – and want to ensure that we’re building products that are both innovative on a technical level, alongside being worthwhile for the greater crypto community.
Q6 from Telegram User @Guandog
What do you think about the growing rise of the DOGE army? do you think Dogira has the grounds to go to the moon?
Eoghan: It’s so great to see Doge doing so well after all this time, and it makes me extremely proud of the time I spent working on an official level with the team there, and the community which formed around us.
I think Dogira has every chance of doing just as incredibly well as Dogecoin has done – and right now, we’re at such an early stage in the project’s lifetime, that it’s still easy for just about anyone to get in, and pick up a couple of coins.
As a side-note on how amazing tokens can do given enough time.. Yesterday I received a message from a friend, reminding me that I had given him some dogecoin for helping me out with a university assignment back in 2013.. He just checked them, and they’re currently worth $45,000 😂
So, we’re certainly no strangers to seeing those parabolic gains in cryptocurrency – and we’re looking forward to seeing what the future might have in store for us!
Q7 from Telegram User @Antoni_azx
Many see NFTs as an empty and worthless investment when it has no real use, Dogira seems to have a more fun approach in this regard, can you tell us what they can be used for? What is your approach to gaming and NFTs?
Eoghan: NFTs are indeed worthless when you use them for things like digitalizing a Mona Lisa. The core of owning “the real Mona Lisa” is that it was created by the actual artist. When it comes to our NFTs, there is simply no way to have a fake – because there is no fake. And experts can figure out if you own the original or not.
By snapping a picture and selling it as NFT you lose that value. NFTs then go and try to re-introduce it, but in the end this is a very intangible promise. You could just copy the JPG and have the same thing.
What Dogira is going to do is to create NFTs on the blockchain. You could think of it as if Picasso would use blockchain tools to craft his NFT image. There would be no way to copy it, because NFTs prevent that though cryptography. You would have to repeat each of his steps in creating the NFT on the blockchain. Of course that would be impossible, unless you owned the Brush and colors that have Picasso’s signature.
In a way, owning blockchain art will have value, because it is not a merge of an ownership certificate of a picture. The art itself was created on the blockchain, and each brush stroke was confirmed and committed to the chain.
What we’ll be doing will take this artistic process, and also add tangible rewards and use-cases on top of it – I’ve described a few of those above already, but we’ll have even more information available for this within our V2 Upgrade WhitePaper. Stay tuned, and keep a close eye on our Website and Telegram for more 😉
Q8 from Telegram User @atillayeni
Doge is making huge success. Why did you leave from dogecoin project?
Eoghan: Well, at the time, I was also working a full-time job with Microsoft, and about to enter into the final year of my Computer Science degree – so, time restraints played a massive part in that 🙂
Coupled with this, I think in the time I spent with Doge, I had made as much impact as I possibly could have at the time. We had a thriving ecosystem, and tonnes of utilities/services which gave Doge a real use-case in the world. We had lots of developers who were taking their first steps towards becoming Blockchain developers, and the community was so large that it was able to keep snowballing by itself without the need for any major new catalysts 😁
Those in the community, and those heading the Dogecoin project has greatly changed over the years, but one thing I’m thankful for is that they always kept the heart of the project – and it’s been a real joy to get to watch it evolve and grow over time.
My only one regret during this time was that Dogecoin launched just as Scrypt ASICs appeared on the market – and my major push was to switch to an X11 algorithm which was ASIC-resistant. I pushed for this as I wanted to see regular people mining with their CPUs and GPUs, without the need for specialised hardware which may be hoarded by massive mining operations. Unfortunately, the team could never reach an agreement on this – but, I certainly wouldn’t begrudge them for it. Projects are operated on and run by teams, and opinions can sometimes differ. We all try to do what’s best for our projects at the end of the day, and Doge still catapulted into success as the years went on.
I think it might’ve catapulted a little quicker with X11 though, but that’s just my opinion on it 😜
Q9 from Telegram User @JoanaZ
➡️ Currently Dogira works with the Ethereum Network, but have you planned extend to other networks with lower fees or create your own Native network?
Eoghan: We are looking into other chains, however we do believe that Ethereum’s gas fees are a temporary problem.
Many of the alternatives are not up to the standard you would like to see in a professional product, and may even be owned by a centralized entity, which goes against the very nature of what crypto stands for. One candidate we are excited for is ADA, however they are not yet in a place where we could commit ourselves to their chain.
The development tools are rough, the documentation is lacking – and it is unclear how many of our innovations would translate to ADA. This may be a candidate for the future, if Ethereum can’t compete with it.
Rest assured that we are aware of this problem, and if we have to run our own blockchain to solve it, we will get there. However, we’re confident that market leaders such as ETH and ADA will continue to evolve their services in order to allow us to focus on building technology that can work on top of the decentralized blockchain as it’s being designed – rather than trying to stretch ourselves far too thin, when there are experts hard at work over the course of years who are no doubt also aware of the problems imposed by both the current network gas costs, and feature-incomplete chains 🙂
Q10 from Telegram User @Tehokjambe
What about the next road map, are you planning to hold a pre sale for the public?
Eoghan: After we release the Whitepaper and seek new partnerships, we intend to hold another ICO phase.
This will however, not be for a new token – but to bolster the existing token.
Full details on this will be in the whitepaper, but we think that this offer will provide great value to new investors, while hugely bolstering the value of Dogira for all existing holders.
The funds we raise from this will go towards expanding our team, increasing community ownership, and striving towards featuring on a top-tier exchange. As always, we’ll be working closely with our community in a transparent fashion in order to make this happen 🤘
