Dogecoin director sparks debate with bold Project Sakura protocol vision. Timothy Stebbing unveils Dogebox, fostering decentralized community software innovation. Speculation rises as Dogecoin explores faster payments and protocol shifts. Dogecoin Foundation director Timothy Stebbing has reignited discussion in the community after clarifying his stance on Project Sakura, a proof-of-stake concept he has been working on. His comments were made in response to a rumour after increased concerns over blockchain security following the Qubic 51 percent attack on Monero, which has since focused its attention on Dogecoin.
