JUST HOLD ON!!!

Before Starting to Mine Dogecoin

Know About The Essential Aspects!!!

It will be very effective if you have a clear concept about mining, it’s methods, basic requirements, and working mechanism. These aspects make your mining process so smooth and profitable. So, let’s jump into the mining ocean. 

What is Dogecoin Mining?

Dogecoin is mainly a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and so on which acts as a  payment system on the Blockchain network. Dogecoin mining refers to the process of earning Dogecoin as a reward by checking transactions and solving cryptographic puzzles or complex mathematical equations on the Blockchain network. The miner who solves these blocks first will get the Dogecoin reward. 

Moreover, the Dogecoin mining process allows the miners to earn Dogecoin into their wallet through computing cryptographic equations and these cryptographic puzzles are released as a block. Then, the miners solve these mathematical equations by using their computing power. Most significantly, it helps to check the validation of each transaction and keep secure the entire network.  

What Are the Methods of Mining Dogecoin?

Methods of Dogecoin Mining

The miners can mine Dogecoin through three individual approaches. According to your preference, you can choose any of them and earn a massive amount of Dogecoin. So, these are: 

  • Cloud Mining
  • Personal Mining (Individual or Solo)
  • Pool Mining  

Cloud Mining

Cloud mining is one of the methods of mining Dogecoin as well as, it allows the miners to mine even if they have no required hardware equipment and computing power. So, the cloud mining process allows the miners to mine Dogecoin through renting computer power and other hardware equipment. 

In this process, the miners need to go through the contract paper and have to pay a monthly or annual fee based on the agreement. Thus, the miner can rent their required computing power from a data center for completing the mining operation. After that, you need to choose a cloud mining pool such as Genesis Mining, Eobot, and Nice Hash are the best mining pools for the cloud mining method.  

There are some pros and cons of the cloud mining process, you need to be conscious before choosing it.  

Pros

  • Provides the easiest way to earn your desired cryptocurrency 
  • Does not require a vast technical knowledge
  • Ensure a steady internet connect  
  • Does not arise any overheating issues
  • Cost-effective way    

Cons

  • Because of fixed contracts, the miners need to pay for the computing power, even if the price of Dogecoin goes down
  • Most of the time it will be unprofitable 
  • Sometimes the cloud mining service provider does not provide clear information about themselves and their working process
  • Lack of flexibility 

Personal Mining

This one is another method to mine Dogecoin, and it can allow the miners to mine Dogecoin with their own equipment and the miners need to afford all of the expenses. So, personal mining or solo mining, or individual mining is a mining process when the miner can operate all of the mining operations through their own equipment and without joining any mining pool.   

In this process, the miners need to purchase all the required hardware and necessary equipment. After purchasing all required hardware equipment, the miner can create a mining rig. Moreover, this process is free from all types of monthly or yearly fees because the miner can purchase all of these through a one-time payment.    

Pros

  • The miners will get enough flexibility
  • More profitable than cloud mining and pool mining 
  • Do not need to pay any fees 
  • Less prone with higher uptime  

Cons

  • Time-consuming process
  • Have an uncertainty to get reward
  • Higher risk than pool mining or cloud mining
  • Internet interruption related issues   

Pool Mining

Pool mining is one of the exclusive ways to mine Dogecoin through joining a group. Moreover, this method allows the miners to join a mining group and merge their computing power for completing the mining process. 

Before joining a mining pool, the miners need to pay a certain amount of mining fees which is around 1% to 3%, it will vary based on which mining pool you will choose. When the pool miners win a block, the reward will be distributed among all miners. The most popular Dogecoin mining pools are Aikapool, GHash, Litecoinpool, Prohashing  Multipool, and so on. 

Pros

  • Ensure a powerful computing power
  • Provides higher hash rate
  • Ensure a decentralized mining network 
  • Reduces mining cost 

Cons

  • Smaller reward than solo mining or cloud mining
  • Need to provide a certain amount of fees 
  • Mining decision interruption

What Are the Requirements for Mining Dogecoin?

First of all, you need a speedy and continuous internet connection because you have to open your PC for a long time. Also, the miners need some specific hardware, software, and a Dogecoin wallet. 

Depending on the mining methods, the miners need to adopt the mining equipment but remember the mining outcome will depend on the PC’s specification. So, let you check and be prepared before starting Dogecoin mining.  

Hardware

The miners can use mainly three types of hardware equipment to complete the Dogecoin mining process.

CPU 

The central processing unit can provide the computing power which is required to complete the mining process. But it is not a good practice to use the PC’s CPU for mining because the mining process produces too much heat and your computer can be damaged because of overheating. In that case, if you have a small or old laptop, you can use CPU mining.   

GPU

Most of the miners use GPU to mine Dogecoin because it is more powerful than CPU mining. When you have a highly configured PC with a good graphics card, you can use GPU mining. For example, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, and so on. Most specifically, the GPU mining process is comparatively less expensive than ASIC mining.

Scrypt ASIC Miner

Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is the best mining solution rather than CPU and GPU mining. To mine Dogecoin through ASIC chips, the miners need to build a mining rig that is incorporated with all necessary hardware equipment. It is more expensive but powerful than CPU and GPU mining, and ASIC chips supply more hashing power to mine the desired cryptocurrency.        

Software

The miners also need some specific software to complete the mining operation. There are numerous mining software available such asCGminer, Cudaminer, Guiminer, and so on. But which software the miner will use, will depend on which hardware they have chosen. Thus, you need to decide on the mining hardware first, then you can download the required mining software. 

  • CPU Mining: If the miners choose CPU mining, it is required to download CPU miners
  • GPU Mining: For beginners miner, EasyMiner will be the best. If you have Nvidia GPUs, you can download CudaMiner software. Also, CGminer will be suitable for any type of GPU.
  • ASIC Mining: For the ASIC miners, it will be needed to download MultiMiner software. But it will work with CGminer and EasyMiner software as well.  

Dogecoin Wallet

The miners need to have a Dogecoin wallet to mine Dogecoin because it protects the miner’s private key and public address. Also, it will store the Dogecoin rewards which will be earned through the mining process. You can use your public address for sending and receiving Dogecoin, but you need your private key to access the entire process. So, the miners need to create a Dogecoin wallet to store the rewards and start the mining operation. 

How to Get a Dogecoin Wallet Address?

Here, I will provide a step-by-step direction to get a Dogecoin wallet address. You can follow it to create your Dogecoin wallet because it will be required for Dogecoin mining.

  • At first, you need to go to Dogecoin’s website (dogecoin.com

How to get Dogecoin Wallet

  • Then, you need to click on the Wallets option and go to the wallet section. Here, you will see the two types of wallets, Multidoge, and Dogecoin Core.

Working Mechanism of Dogecoin Mining

Though Dogecoin was invented as fun, it has been received appreciably in the crypto market as well as crypto traders and investors. In this regard, the price of Dogecoin has been increasing day by day. Within this few times, which is around 7 years, it ranks among the top 10 cryptocurrencies.

Before starting the mining of Dogecoin, it will be effective if you have a clear concept of the working mechanism of Dogecoin mining. For that reason, I will provide the entire working process of Dogecoin mining.

Phase 1: Adding New Blocks

This mining process allows users to add new blocks to the Dogecoin Blockchain network. Moreover, the entire process is performed in a decentralized network so, it is required to meet all agreements to add a new block to the decentralized ledger in the chain.   

Phase 2: Solve Cryptographic Puzzle

Each block contains a lot of cryptographic puzzles or complex mathematical equations. Thus, the miners need to solve these cryptographic puzzles through computing power, and the miner who can solve this first will be rewarded.    

Phase 3: Validate the transactions

The basic activity of the miners is to check the validity of each transaction. After checking the transactions, it will be added to the Blockchain ledger as a block. So, each block of the decentralized Dogecoin network is verified transactions. It is basically known as “Proof-of-Work”.

Phase 4: Compare with the Hashrate

This one is a very crucial phase to earn Dogecoin through the mining process. Hashrate means the total computational power of the miner’s hardware. Depending on the hash rate of the miner’s computer, the miners can mine Dogecoin.

In this phase, the miners can generate a fixed-length alphanumeric code that will represent messages, words, or data, which is known as “hash”. Moreover, the miners can use different Hashing Algorithms to create a hashing code. After generating the hashing code, the miners need to guess the target value, which is known as “target hash”. The main goal of the Dogecoin miners is striving to generate a hash that is equal to or lower than the target hash.

Moreover, this is completely unpredictable and probably depends on the miner’s luck because each hash is created randomly. Thus, it is like a lottery ticket, and each hash would be considered a ticket. 

Phase 5: Get Dogecoin into Your Wallet 

According to the previous phase, the miner can generate a hash code, and the hash will be compared with the target hash. Though the miner’s hash will act as a lottery ticket, the miners can earn a huge amount of Dogecoin through the mining process. 

The miners who can match all the conditions of their hash with the target hash through creating a winning code will earn a Dogecoin as a reward and the blocks will be added in the chain with the decentralized network.
