If you hold $$DOGE in self-custody, running a full node helps strengthen the network and lets you broadcast your own transactions with zero third-party RPCs:
1. Grab the latest dogecoin-1.14.x binary and verify the PGP signatures.
2. Configure dogecoin.conf with maxconnections=64 and dbcache=1024.
3. Open TCP port 22556 on your router.
Uses barely 1.2 GB of RAM and 0.5% CPU once synced. Be your own bank.
Running mine alongside my local MCP agent on Debian 12. Pointing my wallet directly to my own node feels great.
