What is Dogecoin mining?

Dogecoin mining is a way of getting rewards such as a new Dogecoin just for checking transactions. As easy as this might sound, things can get seriously get complicated. Mining of Dogecoin is like participating in a lottery, to participate in this lottery, you have to do some work. You can do this work via a mobile or a personal computer like a laptop or a desktop, depending on whatever is easier for you. All you have to do is get the transactions and transfers checked.

 A lot of computers will work in a similar block of transactions and all of this will be done at the same time. Only one computer or we should say only one person can win the jackpot of new coins. The person who wins the new coins is known as the node. The node will add the new series of transactions to the traditional series of transactions. This can be completed using some complex mathematical equations.

For mining Dogecoins, your mathematics must be really strong. This is because the person who solves the complex mathematical equation first or very quickly wins the jackpot. Only the person who solves the equation first can form more series of transactions which are confirmed and one after another. Although Dogecoin is similar to many alternate coins or altcoins, it also has many differences.

If we compare Dogecoin to Bitcoin, Dogecoin uses SCRYPT while Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 algorithm.  Bitcoin is a lot more difficult to solve. In a way, Dogecoin is easier and has a block time of 2.5 minutes s compared to Bitcoin which has 10 minutes of block time. The reward quantity in Dogecoin might be greater than Bitcoin, but the US Dollar value of Bitcoin reward is a lot more than Dogecoin.

How to Mine Dogecoin?

There are a total of two ways of mining and collecting rewards in Dogecoin. You can do it either by playing solo or joining a Dogecoin pool. In Dogecoin solo you are mining the reward alone; there is no one to help you. While in the Dogecoin pool, you start mining along with a bunch of other people.
