  Description : peer-to-peer network based anonymous digital currency

Dogecoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that
is completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or
trusted parties.  Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and
transact directly with each other, with the help of a P2P network to
check for double-spending.

It's great that you're looking into dogecoin. Just be aware of the
problems with litecoin and bitcoin in the archive, namely that
upstream developers for those projects have concerns over how Debian
does stable releases. Network fixes can't be released/patched and
users end up with broken and potentially network damaging nodes.

Both litecoin and bitcoin cannot propagate to testing because of those
issues. I do not know about dogecoin's development, but if there are
similar concerns you should look into filing an RC bug against
dogecoin to prevent it from migrating to testing.

Also, there is a bitcoin packaging team (Debian Bitcoin Packaging Team
pkg-bitcoin-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org), you can maintain it
under that umbrella if you'd like so that others can help sponsor/bug
fix/update if you'd like them too.

Cheers,
Scott
