Dogecoin starter experience

1

Poloniex

I tried Poloniex, which again took too much fees for sending away coins, also their option to sell-to-fiat, was eventully a coin-send to Simplex which costed me 25€ in Bitcoins, plus additional 5€ for withdrawing my Fiat via SEPA.

Multidoge

But I wanted to join the rocket, so I wanted Dogecoin! Sooo, which Tool should I use for my personal Wallet? As mentioned above, I don't want to use a cloud-tool for storing, but I also don't want to give out my private-key, once I want to move or sell some Coins. Paperwallets and/or dogechain.info is no option - Looks like I have no choices beside MultiDoge and Dogecoin Core. The first, never really started to sync (or lets say, it looked like it was done, but it never started doing anything - which I found out hours later, when it started syncing forever). Dogecoin Core as a full-node in a pretty slow network would finish syncing in like 10 Weeks, so some guys store snapshots called bootstraps e.g. here, which you can torrent-download in a few hours, and then wait another 12 hours of syncing to wait for the remaining month. (If you got a replacement for Dogecoin Core, I would be grateful!).

changelly

After I got this working, I tried to buy Dogecoin, which is also not that easy. I expected it to be normal to buy coins directly into my personal Wallet, which I would not recommend. I tried Moonpay via Changelly and Moonpay directly, they offer bad prices and execute whenever they want. So I clicked on buy at 0.28€, it got executed ad 0.36, and few hours later is was back down at 0.32, so it couldn't be any worse. Some others might work similar, but I didn't tested them.
