In a crypto landscape fixated on futuristic solutions, Dingocoin is busy innovating for real-world adoption—focusing on user-friendly payments and broad accessibility. Yet, at our core, we rely on Proof of Work (PoW), a method sometimes dismissed as “old tech.” Here’s why this battle-tested approach remains the best foundation for building a robust, unstoppable payment coin.
The Big Four: PoW, PoS, DPoS, and DAG
Proof of Work (PoW)
- Mechanism: Miners expend computational power to secure the chain. Tampering becomes financially impossible for attackers.
- Why It Matters: PoW’s energy-backed security fosters genuine decentralization—nobody can cheaply rewrite the ledger or censor valid transactions.
Proof of Stake (PoS)
- Trade-Off: Gains speed and energy savings, but large stakeholders can wield disproportionate influence.
- Risks: Vulnerabilities like “nothing at stake,” possible partial censorship if validators comply with regulatory demands.
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)
- Method: A handful of elected delegates produce blocks, enabling high TPS and fast block times.
- Trade-Off: Smaller validator sets can lead to collusion or forced takeovers (Steem fiasco). Essentially a more centralized approach.
Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs)
- Potential: Feeless microtransactions and parallel confirmations.
- Limitations: Many DAG projects have used partial central “coordinators” or stopgap measures, lacking the proven trustlessness of PoW.
Why PoW Is Ideal for Real-World Payments
- Security & Reliability
- Bitcoin’s 13+ years without a hack exemplify PoW’s unrivaled resilience under adversarial conditions.
- PoW doesn’t shut down or fork at the whim of a single stakeholder—miner distribution spans the globe.
- Straightforward Scalability
- On-chain PoW can be slow, but parameter upgrades (like Dingocoin’s “Geelong Agreement” for ~330 TPS) and bridging solutions keep fees low and speeds comfortable.
- This approach preserves neutral, unstoppable security while letting daily transactions flow seamlessly.
- Neutral, Censorship-Resistant
- Because no single entity controls the majority of hash power, it’s extremely difficult to censor or revert valid transactions.
- Over time, PoW’s track record has outperformed alternative consensus methods whenever total security and trustlessness are paramount.
Dingocoin’s PoW Approach
Building for Real-World Adoption
- Fair Launch, No Premine: Every DINGO is mined—no insider allocations or locked dev wallets.
- 1-Minute Blocks, Minimal Fees: Tailored for daily usage, micro-remittances, or tipping. Combined with bridging and phone-based apps, this fosters real-world convenience.
Secured by Scrypt Merge Mining
- Top LTC pools—ViaBTC, F2Pool, Antpool—already recognized Dingocoin’s approach and integrated us into their merged mining.
- This synergy pushes our cost to attack sky-high, making chain rewrites infeasible without enormous physical hardware and energy expense.
Do-ocracy & Ongoing Innovation
- Community: Anyone can propose code changes or marketing initiatives, ensuring Dingocoin stays user-focused.
- Geelong Agreement: Our upcoming on-chain update for ~330 TPS keeps transactions cheap while preserving PoW’s rock-solid base.
Old Tech, Modern Payments
While new blockchains chase big throughput numbers, Proof of Work remains the most battle-tested consensus for a truly trustless, unstoppable ledger. Dingocoin blends that reliability with a forward-looking stance—giving you near-zero fees, short block times, and an inclusive governance model, all built on PoW’s proven security.
In short: When it comes to decentralized payments, the “old” approach still solves the hardest problem best. Dingocoin is proud to harness PoW for everyday transactions, bridging honest mining with real adoption—because some “old tech” is simply too good to replace.

We love talking about our community-driven PoW blockchain, but we’re not here to steer your financial decisions.
Remember: The crypto outback can be wild. Prices bounce around faster than a dingo on the chase, and any moves you make with DINGO are your own choice. We highly suggest you do your own research (DYOR!) and maybe chat with a pro before diving in. We don’t promise to send you to the moon—just provide a fair-launched coin, mined by the pack and for the pack.
Use it, enjoy it, but know the risks are yours to wrangle. No financial advice, no guaranteed windfalls—just Dingocoin in all its down-to-earth dingo glory
