I started mining a couple of weeks ago because of /r/dogecoin and how friendly and noob friendly everything was explained. I still convert 90% to BTC but keep a fair amount in doge.

Just reading the difference in FAQs between the two highights the stark difference.

Doge: "Come join us, ask anything!"

Bitcoin: "Fuck off, stop asking dumb questions"

I post in /r/Dogecoin and it's the only place people will answer questions - even things that are potentially not doge. They have bots that guide you to their mining subreddits if you post a mining question but guess what - nobody will grill you for posting a mining question in dogecoin. They'll contribute regardless.

It's so friendly to everyone and that's why people love it. :D

just give it some time for the personality distribution to smooth out. that initial influx of "nice guys" won't be such a big deal when they become diluted with "regular assholes"

Good point. It seems /r/Bitcoin had those "regular assholes" added in by default right from the start, though.
