We’ve all seen crypto winters and crypto summers. And many of the protocols and products we’re talking about today were built during the last crypto winter. It’s a great time to build for the future 🚀

Dogecoin core devs, I would focus on one thing: coming up with a good process for increasing the block size limit over time. Let me know what you all think!

512

432

Moreover, the fixed issuance means that the inflation rate actually declines over time, and in a couple of decades it will be below 2%.

166

1,665

Another criticism of Doge is that it’s inflationary and the supply is infinite, as opposed to Bitcoin’s finite supply of 21M coins. ~5B new Doge are created every year, and the current supply is about 132B. This results in a current inflation rate of <5% – less than USD!

622

490

Now, critics will claim that this will come at the cost of enthusiasts being able to run a full node on a Raspberry Pi at home. Processing 10GB in blocks per minute will require more sophisticated hardware. And I think that’s actually a fair tradeoff.

155

188

1,221

Moving to a 1GB (and later 10GB) block size limit would provide all of the throughput a global currency would need for the foreseeable future. L2 solutions are not necessary to solve this problem.

450

463

1,390

As a comparison, Visa’s network can theoretically handle 65,000 tps. Doge would need to be able to significantly outperform Visa, which entails increasing throughput by at least 10000x. Fortunately, this is easy to solve simply by increasing the block size limit.

203

1,442

Currently, with a 1MB block size and 1 minute block time, Dogecoin’s throughput is about 40 transactions per second (tps).

127

1,242

Doge’s current block time is 1 minute. This is a bit on the long side for payments – a ten second block time would be more appropriate as it would be less than the typical time spent completing a debit card transaction.

120

213

1,963

But it shouldn’t be so fast that miners start building up too many competing chains and waste excessive amounts of energy establishing consensus.

188

246

3,184

Ideally, the block time (time between successive blocks being added to the chain and to verify a transaction) should be fast enough that the transaction can be recorded in the next block in less time than it takes to pay at a point of sale terminal.

145

1,611

First off, transaction fees have to be vanishingly small. We’re already there. As of last Nov’s 1.14.5 update, typical transaction fees have been ~$0.003 - which you can experience on

@robinhoodapp

- compared to the 1-3% network fees that major card networks charge.

276

2,066

Can #Doge truly be the future currency of the Internet and the people? As we added the ability to send/receive DOGE on Robinhood, I’ve been thinking about what that would take.

We will also need many more talented people, so if you’re interested in joining our efforts to make the stock market global, fair, and accessible to all, reach out to us – we’re hiring! (9/9)

careers.robinhood.com

Robinhood is hiring! Join our team and help us democratize finance for all.

True 24/7 trading will require the cooperation of many market participants and regulators, and we’re looking forward to engaging deeply, building in public, and keeping everyone apprised of our progress. (8/9)

141

Robinhood wants to untether our markets from East Coast American working hours and offer equities investing ‘round the clock. And serving customers all over the world will mean we need to give people access to the markets on their time. (7/9)

161

Over the coming weeks, customers will get an additional four hours to trade in real-time while maintaining the same delightful and simple user experience they’ve come to expect from Robinhood. (6/9)

Robinhood has built a team to tackle this, and today we are proud to announce the first step on our journey: new extended trading hours from 7AM ET to 8PM ET. (5/9)

blog.robinhood.com

The Future of Investing is 24/7 — Under the Hood

We’re working towards 24/7 investing, starting with new extended hours from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET

143

Customers have busy schedules during the day - they’re working, caring for kids, or going to school. We want to build a world where people have the flexibility to invest on their own timelines and on their own terms. (4/9)

But despite abundant international demand and advancements in technology, market hours are still tied to the working hours of East Coast Americans. (3/9)

Robinhood brought millions of new investors into the markets by eliminating trading commissions and account minimums, and by popularizing fractional shares, which made companies with high share prices accessible to all. (2/9)
