The reason why this is worthy news is that you made it so. Hence, think twice unless you are Dogecoin lover, and if you are, mission accomplished. Many times things come from behind and win, watch the moon closely this time.
Apple approves Dogecoin iOS app

#22Misleading title.
No it's not; it's a Dogecoin app, in the app store, so the title is accurate.
Sure, it may need a clarification that it's a read-only app, but still.
Re: Apple approves Dogecoin iOS app
#23Dogecoin is an example how your story about your product could make it or break it. Dogecoin is not yet another digital currency and this has nothing to do with it's technology.
I'd also say it demonstrates the importance of identifying a niche. Nobody cares about generic AltCoin #842012. Positioning themselves as a tipping currency was a smart move. The internet has badly needed a way to reward people with very small amounts of money for years. That's one of the things I really like about doge, personally.
The thing I don't understand, though... why not just use bitcoin to do it?
It was BTC that found a way "to send really small amounts of money through the internet". No need to invent a niche.
To me it looks like the ones using dogecoin don't want to think of it as money, but just some other form of internet points like karma.

#24Why is this news? There's been other Dodgecoin apps in the App Store for a while now. I've been using this one personally to track my wallet balance: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/doge-tracker-dogecoin-price/... Infact I think the one I've been using is probably better designed, although it isn't free.
It's news because yesterday there was a story about them removing a Bitcoin app.
They removed the Bitcoin app because you can send coins with it.
This dogecoin app is "read-only" for your dogecoin accounts.

I agree, let me give you 0.0000005 BTC. Or I could give you 100 DOGE.

I know. Obviously a lot of people didn't get that (too busy grabbing their pitchforks) which is why this story has probably made it to the front page today.

If you are being sarcastic, I am missing it. If in the end of the day both can buy the same thing, why should I care how big or how small the numbers are?

So it's because it looks better? You could always say "here, have 500 Satoshis".

Here's 5400 Satoshi, actually. There's a dust limit to prevent micro cent spamming.
