I was actually experimenting yesterday with cryptocoinjs on dogecoin. It works with very few changes, if you find and change a few options/constants among the various modules (mainly btc-p2p and p2p-node), eg by modifying the installed packages in your ~/node_modules directory. The port needs to be 22556, the DNS seed to seed.dogecoin.com, and the "magic bytes" to 0xC0C0C0C0.
There's an example of using getData on the transaction hashes inside "inv" (inventory) messages. it works, but you get hex public keys. So remember to use version bytes of 30 (decimal integer) to a base58check encoding function, to get the dogecoin addresses that begin with "D". Well, at least the output addresses are easy enough. I'm still having trouble parsing the input addresses.
Among other things, pg and anyone with physical access to the HN server should have the capability to determine which users voted on a given comment, since the server needs to store that so it knows to not let you vote twice.
I was LinkedIn stalked by AOL HR two days before this happened. I thought about doing the interview just to get back in the habit but ended up declining the invite and indicating Armstrong's hamfistedness was the reason why.
