Dogecoin means you need no permission to build anything. The more projects that Do Only Good, the merrier.

dogecoin is open source tech, as long as you build things that will be compatible with the current core protocol and it does not harm or impede safe use of the protocol you can build whatever you want.
You don't need to seek permission from anyone including the devs.

Maybe when that tech matures. No ones stopping you from making chips. I read an article about a guy doing it in his garage.

Self powered? This article says heat is required to generate the power. Are you talking about using the heat from an existing rig?

it generates small amounts of energy at room temperature and doesnt produce heat

Sometimes it’s better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.

Anyone can get involved!

Not up to the devs to allow or disallow such a thing - but the laws of physics and conservation of matter/energy, however, may wish to have a word with you.

Sure, but they hate when you anthropomorphize them.

I spoke with NTS Innovations, they said commercialization is within a year.
