"The story of how Litecoin saved Dogecoin on September 11th, 2014, is compelling and often overlooked even today as Dogecoin’s own Wiki doesn’t even discuss the history….," he tweeted on X.
Belew’s efforts to update the Dogecoin Wiki in August with the relevant information regarding the merge mining between Litecoin and Dogecoin were met with a decline by Wikipedia moderators. Frustrated by this, Belew took to Twitter, expressing his disappointment in the absence of any mention regarding the foundational merge mining between the two cryptocurrencies in 2014.
Can anyone help get this updated? My input was denied. #dogecoin https://t.co/npcNOAKaJf— Shan Belew Ⓜ️
