Your wallet would probably remind you to update when the new 1.8 wallet becomes available officially. All your doges should be safe no matter where they are. (presumably if you have paper wallets or cold storage, you don't need to move them or do anything)   There is not any change to the doge blockchain. The hard fork is for added security and would not change anything significant about the core properties of the coin itself.



 About mining as I understand it, you would be able to mine litecoin and dogecoin together and receive your reward in what you prefer. I think you would still be able to mine only dogecoin if you prefer but it would be more profitable to mine them together and get your reward as dogecoins.

 Dogeparty is not a scam... why do you think it is?!

  You can see your burned coins on DDogepartyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw1dfzr . After you burn your doges they would show up there.

 You can be sure that they are really burned because you can't generate a private key for that type of adress.  To generate a private key for DDogepartyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw1dfzr you would need a really powerful quantum computer and even then it would take few trillion years to do it.

 In theory nobody ever would be able to use the coins on DDogepartyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw1dfzr. In practice maybe someday after 100 years someone could have a powerful enough quantum computer... but then every adress on any cryptocoin would be at risk.

It'd be hilarious if it was a scam though.

I lost a bet that was 2^32... anything is possible!

Although I doubt dogeparty will live up to the hype, there is nothing sketch about the burn process or address.  The same thing was done with bitcoin and they are still intact and worth a hell of a lot more than the doge. 

It would still be significantly less than Bitcoin I would imagine. (less % owned by scammers... I'd imagine BTC is pretty high)

Personally, I see XDP going much hire than DOGE!  O ya and no cap is a great idea!

REALLY hope doge gets back up n running. I love the community and concept.
The most significant is this IMHO:

I have a question.

The new Counterparty features for doge, are the doge coins burned as in permanently gone?

If so, how many doge per month are expected to be burned and how many new doge coins usually get minted per month?

I'm trying to figure out if this ever growing inflation and dilution of Doge will ever reverse course as it's always been doge's biggest setback.

Thank you!

What about a Dogecoin Icebucket Challenge?

anyone an idea how to do it?
I can write an article about it
