Dogecoin Mining Calculator (DOGE) — Scrypt

Q: Can you mine Dogecoin on its own?

Almost no miners mine DOGE alone — nearly all Dogecoin mining today happens as merged mining alongside Litecoin, earning both coins from the same Scrypt hash rate.

Q: Does Dogecoin's block reward halve?

No. Dogecoin's block reward has been fixed at 10,000 DOGE per block since 2015, unlike Bitcoin and Litecoin which halve on a schedule.

Q: What algorithm does Dogecoin use?

Scrypt — the same algorithm as Litecoin, which is what makes merged mining between the two possible.

Dogecoin uses Scrypt and is merge-mined with Litecoin — the same hash rate earns both coins simultaneously. Enter your ASIC's hash rate and electricity cost to see live combined profit.

About Dogecoin Mining

Dogecoin (DOGE) launched in 2013 and shares Litecoin's Scrypt algorithm. Since 2014, Dogecoin has allowed merged mining (AuxPoW) with Litecoin — almost no one mines DOGE on its own anymore, since merge-mining earns both coins for the same electricity cost.

Dogecoin's block reward has been fixed at 10,000 DOGE per block since 2015 — unlike Bitcoin and Litecoin, it doesn't halve on a schedule, which keeps issuance predictable.
