狗狗币Dogecoin核心开发团队成员在7月24日接受了以太经典ETC公众号的采访，Roy（狗叔UncleDoge）作为采访人对团队开发组长Max Keller进行了采访，这是国内媒体首次采访狗狗币核心开发团队，
恰逢狗狗币创始人Jackson宣布将在9月出席以太经典ETC在韩国举行的全球峰会。这次Max将会为我们带来狗狗币最新开发动态，并罕见地阐述了自己对狗狗币和数字货币未来的看法。
Roy：你好，Max（马克斯），非常荣幸成为第一个采访你的中国媒体，能不能介绍一下你自己和狗狗币核心开发团队的其他成员？
Hi Max, very proud of being the first medium to have an interview with you. can you give an introduction of yourself and other members of Dogecoin core developers?
Max：首先，我很抱歉这么久才回复你，上个星期太忙了。下面是我对你问题的回答。我的名字是Max Keller（马克斯·凯勒），今年28岁，来自德国。白天的时候我是一家大型公司的安卓工程师，同时在我闲暇的时候，我会做其它各种各样的项目，其中一个就是狗狗币。自狗狗币诞生伊始，也就是 2013年12月中旬，我就加入了狗狗币社区。目前，狗狗币的核心开发团队由3个以上的开发者组成，他们和我一样是志愿者。我们组织形式很松散，而且在社区主要活跃的的地方(狗狗币社区主要活跃的地方是Reddit)进行沟通和交流。这种方式使得我们的工作显得更开放和透明。
My name is Max Keller, I’m 28 years old and from Germany. I’m working as an Android engineer for a large company during the day and work on various projects in my free time, one of them being Dogecoin. I have been involved in Dogecoin since mid-december 2013, so just after Dogecoin’s launch. The Dogecoin Core Developer team currently consists of three more developers, all volunteers as myself. We’re loosely organized and mostly communicate using the same places the community can use so we try to be fairly open and transparent about our work.
Roy：目前，狗狗币的开发工作是什么？
What are the current development jobs for the dogecoin?
Max：目前，我们仍然在完成(核心钱包)1.14版本发布的过程中。遗憾的是，我们遇到了一些绊脚石，特别是在Mac操作系统版本的狗狗币核心钱包。同时，未来1.15和1.16版本也开始着手开发了。在核心团队之外，我也加入了狗狗币-以太坊桥接项目(Dogecoin-Ethereum bridge)。
We are currently still in the process of finishing the 1.14 release. Sadly we had a few roadblocks especially with the Mac OS version of the Dogecoin Core wallet which are being worked on though. In parallel future versions like 1.15 and 1.16 are worked on. Outside of the Core team there is still work being done on the Dogecoin-Ethereum bridge project.
Roy：狗狗币有没有一个完整的技术路线图？或者，仅仅只是跟着比特币技术栈进行迭代？
Does Dogecoin have a full technical roadmap? Or just follow the Bitcoin technology stacks?
Max：狗狗币核心团队总是集中精力来提供一个稳定的网络。我们深以为，稳定的网络对一个加密货币是至关重要的。这就是为什么我们一直不愿意仅仅考虑目前被认为具有创新性的任何功能。我们一直在稳定的基础上推动创新，而不是与之交织在一起。看看加密货币世界的现状里，你几乎每天都能看到一些加密货币与它们所实施的大部分未经测试和证实的技术作无休止的斗争。
Dogecoin Core has always been focused on providing a stable basis for the network. We follow the ideal that having a stable foundation for a coin is of utmost importance. This is why we have always been reluctant to just tack on any feature that is currently deemed innovative. We’ve been pushing for innovation to happen on top of the stable basis, not intertwined with it. Looking at the current state of the cryptocurrency space you will almost daily see a coins struggle with the largely untested and unproven technologies they implement.
Roy：我们知道狗狗币的核心开发者都是兼职的，未来有计划组建一个全职团队吗？
We know Dogecoin core developers are the part time team, is there any plan to build a full time team?
Max：我们目前没有看到这样的可能性，让我们建立一个全职团队来进行相关的管理工作，所以答案是否定的。
We don’t currently see a possibility for us to handle the administrative workload required to build a full-time team, so no.
Roy：杰克逊·帕尔默(狗狗币的创始人)在团队和社区中的扮演什么角色？ 他回归了吗？
What is the specific role of Jackson Palmer in the team or in the community ? Is he back to the community?
Max：Jackson（杰克逊）在加密货币世界进进出出好几次了，在狗狗币也同样如此，他不属于核心团队活跃成员好一段时间了。我们也经常闲聊，聊天通常涉及狗狗币和加密货币世界，我们在做狗狗币的开发工作时有时也会把他的建议考虑进去，这就是他目前参与狗狗币的程度。
Jackson has been in and out of the space a few times, and in and out of the community just the same. For a while now he has not been an active member of the Core team. We talk from time to time and chat about Dogecoin and the cryptocurrency space in general and we take his advice into account when working on things, but that is about the extent of his current involvement.
Roy：狗狗币基金会的发展现在怎么样了？它还存在吗？
What is Development of Dogecoin Foundation? Is it still alive?
Max：据我所知，狗狗币基金会已经不再运作了。
To my knowledge there is currently no active Dogecoin Foundation in that sense.
Roy：狗狗币目前最紧缺的资源是什么？你认为有必要成立一个基金来支持狗狗币的发展吗？
What are the most necessary resources Dogecoin need? Do you think it is necessary to create a fund to support the development?
Max：我们已经有一个发展基金了，我想，时间是我们最紧缺的资源 考虑到所有团队成员有他们自己正职工作和生活，有些时候，真的很难找到平衡点。
A development fund already exists. I think the most needed resource for us would be time Given all of the team members have day jobs and a life apart from development it’s hard to find the right balance here sometimes.
Roy：你认为狗狗币在加密世界的角色是什么？ 是什么因素让狗狗币在这个竞争异常激烈的加密货币世界中如此不同？
What do you think about the role of Dogecoin in crypto world? What make Dogecoin special in this seriously competitive environment?
Max：我认为这可能是狗狗币不会刻意去变得具有竞争性的原因所在;) 我们一直都是一个非常注重货币本身的社区，而不太强调竞争。通过查看统计数据，你就会发现按照日常交易数据和其他的因素，狗狗币仍然是最好的加密货币之一。我想，当你看到这里，它已经说明了，相比之下，它是多么不需要变得具有“竞争力”。我明白在大量其他货币的流入下，现在的加密货币世界比2013年的时候要严酷地多，但我们很自豪我们今天仍然能够跻身于顶尖加密货币的行列。即使它只是作为一个玩笑而被创造出来。
I guess the fact that Dogecoin does not try super hard to be competitive We have always been a very community focused coin which put much less emphasis on competition. If you check statistics, Dogecoin is still one of the top currencies in terms of daily transactions and other factors. I think it speaks for itself when you see this compared to how little we had to be “competitive”. I know the current space is much harsher than it was back in 2013 given the huge influx of other coins, but I’m proud that we can be a part of the top currencies still to this day. Even after being created as a joke.
Roy：我们知道狗狗币在Reddit上曾经有一个打赏应用叫dogetipbot，但是它已经消失了。你认为狗狗币仍然还是一个打赏货币吗？对于狗狗币来说，什么才是狗狗币最好的应用场景？
We know Dogecoin had a tipping application named dogetipbot in Reddit, but is dead now. Do you still think Dogecoin is a tipping coin? What is the best application scenario for the Dogecoin?
Max：是的，非常遗憾，dogetipbot（狗狗币打赏工具）最后的结局是惨淡收场，但是社区在dogetipbot下架之后的很短时间内快速建立一个新的打赏工具。这再一次说明了社区的力量。
是的，在现在的各种各种的社区里小费打赏仍然是最受欢迎的事情，但是考虑到狗狗币的高速交易和交易吞吐量，进入低门槛和容易操作，我认为狗狗币在网上购物、贸易、尤其是购买数字产品等许多其他场景中，狗狗币也是大有用处的。我自己也在不同的地方使用狗狗币来购买真实世界的物品
Yes, sadly dogetipbot’s history ended badly. But the community was able to quickly build a new reddit tip bot only shortly after dogetipbot went down. This again speaks for the power of the community. And yes, tipping is still to this day one of the favorite things in the various communities. But given Dogecoin’s high speed and high transaction capability, low barrier of entry and easy handling I think Dogecoin can also be very useful in many other scenarios like online shopping, trading and especially buying of digital goods. I myself use Dogecoin in various places to buy real world articles too
Roy：狗狗币在中国有一个大型的社区，他们大部分人都是狗狗币的信仰者，你对于中国的施比们或者投资者们有什么建议呢？
There is a big community for the Dogecoin in China. Most of them have a faith in Dogecoin. What’s your suggestion for the Chinese Shibes or investors?
Max：我的观点是，如果狗狗币获得更广泛的采用，比如在线商店等，我们就可以向世界表明，狗狗币有实际的用途，而且不仅仅是一种迷因货币。正如你可能知道的，最近一家总部位于中国的大型在线商店FastTech开始接受狗狗币。我看到过很多人在该商店使用狗狗币来下单，包括我自己。我认为类似这种被商户接纳能够更好地帮助市场发展，比其它很多加密货币人为操控的市场行为不知要好多少，所以我会说推广商户接受是我们最好能够做的事情。
I feel that gaining better adoption of Dogecoin by users and e.g. online shops we can show the world that Dogecoin has legitimate uses and is far more than just a meme currency. As you may know only recently FastTech, a large online store based in China, has started accepting Dogecoin among other currencies. I have seen many people already order there using Dogecoin, including myself. I think adoption like this can help grow the market much better than artificial market movements that we see in so many other cryptocurrencies, So I’d say promoting adoption is the best we call can do.
Roy：你有计划在未来做一些与加密货币和区块链技术有关的项目吗？
Do you have any plan to do some projects related to cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology in the future?
Max：我并没有真正计划我的其它项目。我也不打算进入加密货币世界。但如果一个有趣的机会出现，并且时间允许的话，我会对许多事情持开放态度。
I don’t really plan my side projects. I didn’t plan to get into crypto either. But if an interesting opportunity comes up, and time permits it, I’m open to many things.
Roy：您对未来加密货币的看法是什么？加密货币和区块链如何改变我们的世界？他们为人类创造了一个更美好的世界吗？
What is your perspective for cryptocurrency in the future? How cryptocurrency and Blockchain change our world? Do they make a better world for the human being?
Max：我觉得在这里区分底层区块链技术和基于该技术构建的加密货币非常重要。区块链技术本身仍处于非常早期的阶段，我认为它可以做的不仅仅是托管加密货币。在我看来，我们好像还没有找到它的“杀手级应用”。我个人对加密货币世界的实验持欢迎态度，而且我也认为加密货币将会与我们长存，以这种或另一种形式。
I feel like it’s important to distinguish here between the underlying blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, which are built on top of that technology. Blockchain tech itself is still in very early stages and I think it can do much more than just host cryptocurrencies. But somehow it seems to me like we haven’t found the “killer usecase” for it yet. I welcome the experimentation that goes on in the space and think cryptocurrencies will be with us for a long time, in one form or another.
Roy：我们知道中国对加密货币的监管很严格。这使得包括狗狗币在内的加密货币在中国被采用变得困难。加密货币如何适应未来的监管？
We know there is a tight regulation for cryptocurrency in China. This makes the cryptocurrencies adoption difficult in China including Dogecoin. How cryptocurrencies fit for the regulation in the future?
Max：这很难回答，因为不同的地方有不同的法规。我认为我们需要对监管机构进行教育区块链和加密货币是如何运作的并且我们如何从中受益，以便让他们更好地了解试图监管的东西。并且我认为，这个行业需要适度的监管，主要是此前由于各种问题导致每隔几个月就会出现重大的损失事件。然而，我们需要确保监管和创新能够共存，但这是一条非常细微的界限，遗憾的有些监管机构已经逾越了这条界线。最终我们希望找到一个中间地带，既有利于鼓励创新，并且还保护了用户。
This is pretty tough to answer as regulations are so fundamentally different in different places. I think we need to educate regulators about how blockchain and cryptocurrencies work and can help us so they better understand what the are trying to regulate. I also think that a certain amount of regulation is required in a space that is currently still experiencing major losses seemingly every few months due to various different issues. Yet, we need to make sure that regulation and innovation can co-exist, but that is a very thin line which sadly some regulations have already crossed. In the end, a middle ground will hopefully be found that promotes innovation on one hand, but also helps protecting users on the other hand.
Roy：狗狗币和加密货币如何改变了你的生活？
How Dogecoin and cryptocurrency change your life？
Max：我认为在所有这些事情的最美妙的是在我成为社区的一部分后有机会认识这么多不同的人。我认识了一些新朋友，并对加密世界的话题进行了大量的讨论。显然也有困难时期，必须作出艰难的决定，但我也看到了积极的一面。我能够学到一些在我日常生活和工作中有用的经验。总的来说，这是一段美好的时光。
I think the best thing out of all this was the opportunity to meet so many different people throughout the time I have been part of the community. I found some new friends and had lots of great discussions about topics in and out of the crypto space. Obviously there were hard times too and tough decisions had to be made but I see the positive side of that too. I was able to learn a few lessons that have been useful since in my day to day life and job. Overall it’s been a great time.
Roy：你和其他团队的成员有没有可能来访中国，来给中国社区做个演讲？ 如果这样，我们可以协助这趟行程。
Is it possible for you and other members of team to visit China, have a speech to Chinese community? If so , we can help with this trip.
Max：我只能确认自己，尽管我很想去中国，但是目前没有可能，主要是很难迁就我的工作。如果未来有这样的机会，我一定会告诉你的！
I can only speak for myself and as much as I’d like to visit China it is currently not possible for me to fit this into my work schedule. But if I ever have the ability to spend some time in China I will surely let you know!
狗狗币与以太经典ETC在某些理念上不谋而合，都认为稳定的网络与不可篡改性对加密货币至关重要的，在加密货币的世界里，是少有的能够保持最大去中心化程度的两个币种，与比特币的理念相一致。关于狗狗币的不可篡改性，社区曾在2015年针对是否要去掉那个永远每年增发52亿的设计发生了激烈的争论，最后决定保持原有的代码，不修改这个通胀设计。对于这些崇尚区块链精神的币种，他们在未来能够走得更远，更能代表未来的方向。
