How to Do the Doge
Ok kids, here's your super-quick setup guide to get you selling artwork for Dogecoin. The first thing you need to do is download and install a wallet which will handle your transactions. I see that they have added a Dogecoin Light wallet. Up to you to decide which one to use. I would recommend the full wallet. It will take a fair chunk of time to sync up with the network, but it's a one-time deal and will only need to incrementally update from then on. This is what my wallet looked like a couple of weeks ago...
So what are we seeing here is my current balance, two deposits from mining pools into my wallet, and one withdraw of 1001 Doge which I have sent to the Art-4-Doge site. Go there now, set up an account, and click on the "Wallet" icon. You will see something like this...
The address shown there is for your wallet ON the DogLet site, in this case, "DEXwxfxbFZ4EXTdms3hYjuogcusXZV8Brh". This is where payments for your artwork will be deposited. You can also send Dogecoin there and use it to buy items from the site. Now to withdraw Doge from the site and into your wallet we will have to create an address to send them to. On your desktop wallet, the one which you've just installed, click on the "Much Receive" tab. You will see something like this...
Here you see addresses that I have created to accept transfers from mining pools, the Reddit tip-bot, and one labeled Photos for the DogeLet site. Create a new address if you wish or use the one already there. Simply right-click and copy the address to clipboard and then paste it into the "Withdraw to" address on the DogeLet site. Enter however many Dogecoin you wish to send to your desktop wallet from the site wallet and hit "send". In a very short time, usually under a minute, you will see the funds appear in your desktop wallet. Sending Dogecoin from your wallet to an address is just as simple. Click on "Pls Send" on your desktop wallet and you will see a screen something like this...
If you want to send Dogecoin to somewhere, simply paste an address into the "Pay To:" field, select amount, and add a label if you wish for record-keeping. Click send and it's off. This now concludes our quick and dirty setup which will get you started. As to what to do with your Dogecoin, it's up to you. There is a great Reddit community with a growing list of vendors and sites online that are willing to accept Doge. There are also ways to convert your Doge to Bitcoin and regular fiat currencies but we will leave that for another day.
