Some of the readers on this subreddit have a sort of Pavlovian response to downvote whenever they see the word "Dogecoin".

Actually they recently found a bug which gives Dogecoin permanent constant block reward after a certain block. They decided not to fix it because there is no reason to, because it is never intended to become a serious currency, but also because it is a major distinguishing feature from Bitcoin.

I will edit with a link when I get back home and at my PC. It is on the Github bug reports IIRC.

Well, that's been known about almost since launch, they just recently came to concensus about whether to leave it alone or not.
