So I started mining some dogecoins just as an experiment, as I missed the boat on bitcoins and never really learned how the system works, so I figured this would be a way to learn the basics.
Things were going OK, I had 4 pcs mining that were left on all the time anyway. Found a wallet site to store them in and transferred a bunch.
Now this morning I see this on their website:

Also, the pool I was mining from suddenly went down as well. Are things this volatile in the bitcoin market too, or is this because dogecoin is more of a joke coin? At least they aren't worth anything. If I lost thousands of bitcoins due to hacking Id probably be hanging from a rope right now.
