Dogecoin Digging? (Mining?)

[nightblaze]

I understand that dogecoin is different from bitcoin at a very basic level, and I've read up a little on dogecoin mining, but is there mining hardware for dogecoin? I expect that the hardware for bitcoin would be different because it's based off of something else, but I have not found and hardware for Dogecoin mining. Tips, anyone?

You mine dogecoin with a graphics card. Read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=400621.0

Are graphics cards the only option right now? There's no way to enhance the graphic card you already have?

Dogecoin was MADE to be a joke. Honestly, that's the main reason I like it! I understand money is serious, but I feel that life should be ENJOYED. Money is a big part of people's lives. If it's not fun, then what's the point?

Doge is big joke.

People pay a lot of money to listen to comedians tell jokes, too.

Thank you, odolvlobo. Just because something is a joke doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed! ^_^

There's no specialist hardware for mining dogecoin as such. Because dogecoin is a Scrypt based coin it can be mined effectively using GPU's like ati 280x. You can use this same hardware for any other scrypt based coin mining.

Here's a website that compares different hashrates over different ati cards.

Cool, thanks! I appreciate the clarification!

You can just use minerd miner to mine DOGE, it supports scrypt and you'll have no problems.
