Easiest Way to Mine Dogecoin (or any other coins)
Cryptocurrency is all the hype nowadays. If you are interested in the world of cryptocurrency and want to try mining some coins, then read on! I assume you already know what cryptocurrency is and how it works.
Get a Crypto Wallet
The first thing to do is to get a wallet. As the name suggests, a crypto wallet is a place to store your cryptocurrencies. There are many good wallets out there, I use Exodus wallet (https://www.exodus.com/). Just install any wallet of your choice that can store Dogecoin.
Get a Crypto Miner
There are many mining software for different coins. Some coins use a certain algorithm to mine, while others use a different algorithm. Some mining software is optimized for certain algorithms and certain computer hardware, so choose the mining software that suits you the best. I use Unmineable Mining Software (https://unmineable.com/miner). Just download and install the miner.
Find Mining Pool
While you can mine solo, I recommend that you consider joining a mining pool. The reason is your computer is not strong enough to mine solo unless you have a super mining rig. I use Unmineable (https://unmineable.com).
Start Mining
I will show you how to mine Dogecoin using Unmineable miner and Unmineable Pool. First copy your Dogecoin Wallet address (very important, don’t get it wrong). It will look like this DM6mRre6tyPyTgFiGs83j3XsKaVpgXXXXX. Then open Unmineable miner and choose Graphics Card (GPU) mining hardware. Then choose Dogecoin and copy-paste your Dogecoin wallet.
Your Unmineable form should look like the picture above. If you are kind enough, do fill the referral code with s7ne-rbo7. It will also lower your mining fees to 0.75%!
The last step is to click the green start button.
After the miner calculates your hash rate, it will show at the bottom left corner. I use an HP Omen laptop with NVidia Gefore GTX 1650 TI and it only has 8.2 Mh. So it is recommended to mine with a mining rig to get a better hash rate. Unmineable will transfer your newly minted Dogecoin to your wallet (with a fee) if you reached 50 Doge. Different coins apply different payment limits.
Conclusion
Crypto Mining is worth it if you can get cheap electricity or better free electricity and free internet. You can mine using your average gaming gear. But if you are serious about this, you might consider building yourself a mining rig. Remember to calculate the expense to mine before you start. Hope this helps!
