According to U.Today, Dogecoin has once again grabbed the limelight following the Grok AI revelation about RadioDoge, a project aimed at preparing the Dogecoin ecosystem for swift grassroots adoption. Amid the speculation surrounding Grok AI's statements, Dogecoin core developer Michi Lumin has stepped in to provide crucial clarity on the issue.
The Dogecoin community's attention was piqued by a Grok AI post claiming that SpaceX was launching Dogecoin nodes into space attached to Starlink satellites. This was supposedly to extend the Dogecoin network's reach to remote areas lacking traditional internet infrastructure, as part of the RadioDoge project. However, Lumin has pointed out inaccuracies in Grok's description of RadioDoge, emphasizing the importance of relying on credible sources for information.
Lumin clarified, 'Just so everyone is aware. This is an AI bot that writes stuff you ask it to, and it isn't something anyone should use as a source. In this case, the bot describes RadioDoge incorrectly, while using a few relevant words.' He further explained that RadioDoge is currently only a terrestrial network.
RadioDoge is a Dogecoin foundation project that focuses on promoting Dogecoin's grassroots adoption. It aims to use affordable and reliable radio technology (HF/LoRaWAN) in conjunction with the global Starlink satellite network to provide wide-scale access to Dogecoin for individuals beyond the reach of traditional internet infrastructure. In 2023, RadioDoge marked a significant milestone by facilitating the first Dogecoin transaction without the internet. The project is expected to continue developing the RadioDoge network and exploring new use cases this year.
According to the 2024 roadmap presented by the Dogecoin foundation, the RadioDoge network will be developed through volunteer node operators, with group engagements in emerging economies being sought for trial deployments.
