Title: Is dogecoin mining on a new workstation pc still possible?
Post by: lampsoniceggman on January 22, 2016, 12:50:11 AM
Even with pool mining. Is it just not worth it?

I tried coinking.io mining pool. Did not seem to do much....

I've got new workstation graphics nvidia gtx 970 and latest i7.

Is that not enough to mine dogecoin anymore?

Does anyone know how to get dogecoin?

I really want dogecoin just because it's dogecoin.

The entire list of supported pools is 90% 404'd

what happened guys???

Can anyone please give a new enthusiast some friendly advice?

Thank you.  ;D

Since Doge is merge mined with LTC, network hashrate and difficulty went up considerably. You won't get a share that has any value with GPU/CPU (same as you would mine LTC). If you have an ASIC, check the LTC pools. Otherwise you would do much better mining GPU friendly coins and buy Doge with your earnings.
What coins can you mine with your GPU? There are many threads in this section to it's useless to repeat it over and over.

btw, Coinking isn't a good choice currently.

Nothing Scrypt (which includes Doge) has been mineable for a profit with ANY GPU for 2+ years now. ASIC have long since taken over Scrypt.

 With your card, Dash (X11) should be a viable option, among other non-SHA256 non-Scrypt algorythm using coins.

@ sp_

Thank you very much for your advice.  ;D

@QuintLeo

Thank you. So you're saying Scrypt is useless now and the ASIC chips are taking over dogecoin now too.

Seems my only option is to mine something new other people want and get paid in dogecoin.

For my specs does anyone recommend a specific coin I should mine to request payout in doge?

Again thank you for the advice. I will gladly tip you in doge if you'd like

That already happened more than 1 year ago.

You might want to use Multipools with automatic conversion. You mine different altcoins and the pool sells them and buys Doge for you.

Or use Nicehash, get paid in BTC and buy Doge yourself
