Dogecoin (DOGE) Mining Calculator
Dogecoin uses the Scrypt algorithm with a 1-minute block time and a fixed block reward of 10,000 DOGE. Unlike Bitcoin, Dogecoin has no maximum supply — new coins are issued indefinitely at a fixed rate. Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin, meaning the same Scrypt ASIC hardware earns rewards from both networks simultaneously.

Best Hardware for Dogecoin Mining
Dogecoin and Litecoin share the Scrypt algorithm, so the same hardware mines both. Top performers are the Antminer L9 (16 GH/s, 3,360W) and Antminer L7 (9,500 MH/s, 3,425W). Any Scrypt ASIC that supports merge mining (AuxPoW) will automatically earn both DOGE and LTC.

Dogecoin's Fixed Block Reward and Inflation
Unlike Bitcoin, Dogecoin has no halving. Since 2015 it has paid a fixed 10,000 DOGE per block on a roughly one-minute schedule, adding about 5 billion DOGE per year. That makes Dogecoin mildly inflationary, with the percentage inflation rate shrinking each year as total supply grows — a deliberate choice to keep the coin spendable rather than hoarded.
For miners, the fixed reward means your DOGE-denominated income per block is constant; only difficulty, DOGE price, and your share of network hashrate determine fiat profitability. There is no scheduled supply shock to plan around, unlike Bitcoin or Litecoin halvings.
Why Dogecoin Mining Rides on Litecoin
Dogecoin secures its network through merge mining with Litecoin (AuxPoW since 2014). The overwhelming majority of Dogecoin's hashrate comes from Scrypt ASICs that are simultaneously mining Litecoin, so Dogecoin effectively borrows security from the larger Litecoin mining ecosystem.
In practice you don't choose between mining DOGE or LTC — you mine both on the same Scrypt hardware. Treat Dogecoin earnings as a bonus layered on top of your Litecoin yield when judging whether a Scrypt rig pays off.
