[TUTO] How to mine dogecoin

To follow up on the Dogecoin , I 'll give you a detailed tutorial on Dogecoin , its advantages and disadvantages ...

Firstly the Dogecoin is a virtual currency that two weeks , she is still very young and therefore has a very (very ) low value but this is not a problem.At a time when the bitcoin amounted to several hundred euros , the bitcoin miner is very long ... must see for example several months 1 year for 1 BTC ( Bitcoin ) ... while Dogecoin you can undermine the tens of thousands per day, but I'll come back later.

I'll split this topic into several points:
1 / Dogecoin is so low , why mine ?
Certe the Dogecoin is very low but the mine can be very interesting , especially at this time . The value is so low that the Dogecoin is not yet widely used , and very easy to undermine . The value at the time I'm writing this tutorial is 1 million Dogecoin = 0.6 btc = 250 euros.
The Dogecoin is very low time , it increases 200% every month, do the math, in 1 or 2 years vaudras how the Dogcoin ? I can see the people who will tell me the ooh dogecoin not gonna be worth more than 10 cents ... I tell them no worries OK , I want that dogecoin 1 = 10 cents , if I have a million ... possible at this time so it is young.
2 / How to undermine and what config ?
For starters it is best to have a desktop pc , even if AC works on laptop , but less powerful in most cases. Blasting uses only the graphics card ( NVIDIA or AMD ) from your computer . More powerful it is , the more you will gain ...

a / For NVIDIA
- Select a mining poolI advise you ;http://fast-pool.com/http://doge.cryptovalley.com/But there are others on this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361813.0
1 / Cudaminer Download the software easily findable on Google.
2 / select the pool of your choice , I recommend Fast pool (linked above)
3 / Create an account with user name , password , address and Mail PIN code (4 digits of your choice)
4 Create an worker (following the tab of your pool) I advise you to put 1 in x user and password ( it will be easier to read )
5 / You have downloaded Cudaminer , extract all the files for this:http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2013/51/1387411890-1.jpg
You have a 32-bit system , x86 appreciatedYou have a 64-bit system , x64 appreciated
6 / enter the folder that corresponds to your operating system (32bit ? 64bits ?) Then create a text file (. Txt) . name the way you want and enter it.You should be left with an empty file, without writting it.
7 / To connect to the pool , I'll take the example of Fast pool write :
cudaminer.exe -o stratum + tcp :/ / fast - pool.com : 3333 -O ab : c
you just have to replace :has the login user name of the poolb by the name of your worker (1 if you followed the tutorial )c by the password of your worker (x if you followed the tutorial )
Once replaced everything , save the mod text file and close it.
8 / You have a xxxx.txt file , change the extension xxxx.batRun the . Bat and you good .


===> For AMD graphics cards:
Follow the same tutorial for Nvidia but instead download the software cgminer and put in your text file ( rename it before beating. )cgminer.exe -o stratum + tcp :/ / fast - pool.com : 3333 -O ab : c

Bitcoin Alternative Dogecoin Soars 900% As Other Crypto-Currencies Suffer

Dogecoin, the dog meme-based crypto-currency, has seen its value surge more than 900% in a week which saw bitcoin lose half its value.

 
The dogecoin crypto-currency increased in value by more than 900% in a week which saw bitcoin tumble 50%.

Created in early December, dogecoin is one of a growing number of crypto-currencies which function in a same way to bitcoin. They are every decentralised, with no backing from any country or bank, and they can be traded online for fiat currencies like dollars and sterling.

Although each dogecoin is only worth a fraction of a bitcoin - and indeed, a fragment of a dollar - the currency saw massive growth while bitcoin, litecoin and most other crypto-currencies  reported heavy losses, sparked by the Chinese central bank's decision to ban financial services from dealing in bitcoins

• Whats is Dogecoins

Dogecoin is ranked as the ninth most indispensable crypto-currency, with a market hat of $9.5 million (5.8m). This pales into insignificance compared with bitcoin's $8.3 billion and litecoin's $494m valuations, but dogecoin's reluctance to follow their downward trend is fascinating.

In seven days Dogecoin has increased in value by 935%, and its users hope it will soon be more vital than some real world currencies, such as the Zimbabwean dollar.

One thousand Zimbabwean dollars is currently worth around $2.76, while the same number of Dogecoins was worth $1.28 at its peak, but the currency has since dipped to $1.07 per thousand coins at the time of publication.

Currently, 9% of the total 100 million dogecoins have been mined, but as with bitcoin, extracting the coins will get more difficult - and therefore slower - over time.

Almost all of the 53 crypto-currencies tracked by CoinMarketCap are seeing growth, ranging from modest increments of less than 10%, up to surging growth of more than 100% in the last 24 hours. Just six of the 53 currencies had lost value in the 24 hours prior to this article being published.

Although bitcoin now stands at around $700 per coin, it has fallen significantly in the last week from a high of $1,200 - a fall blamed on the actions of the Chinese central bank effectively blocking its citizens from using the currency.

BTC China, believed to be the world's largest bitcoin exchange, was forced to suspend its users from depositing funds, after its payment processing partners abandoned it for fears of reprimand from the central bank for dealing with bitcoin.

Bad ass: The Founders of Dogecoin See the Meme Currency's Tipping Point

Bad ass : The Founders of Dogecoin See the Meme Currency's Tipping Point

Scrooge McDoge riding the Dogecoin wave, by /u/entosse

By now, youve probably heard of Dogecoin, the confusingly popular cryptocurrency that uses a regal looking Shiba Inu as its mascot and has a strict style lead of Comic Sans MS for absolutely all. In a few short weeks, Dogecoin has gone from being an incredibly silly attempt at a cryptocurrency, to one of the most unlikely contenders in the burgeoning digital money realmsimply by being attached to an addictively cute meme.

The doge meme is based on an obscure short video from Homestar Runner, an early internet repository of viral comedy videos, in which a puppet version of Homestar Runner spells dog as doge. Years later, the spelling was revived on reddit, ported to Tumblr, and eventually developed into the Shiba Confessions blog, which Know Your Meme says popularized image macros of "shibes" with their thoughts pasted on top in Comic Sans.

Now the aesthetic has been used for currency. Using a Shiba Inu as Dogecoin's figurehead instead of, say, the tiring ol Queen or some dead president, has clearly worked. Not only has this seemingly farcical currency been covered by Bloomberg Business Week, Business Insider, the Washington Business Journal, and other ostensibly serious publications, Dogecoin already boasts a vibrant community of users who are bullish on the currency even if each dogecoin is yet worth fractions of a cent.

To make more sense out of this phenomenon, I got in touch with Dogecoins creators, Jackson Palmer, a marketer at Adobe, and Billy Markus, a software developer at IBM. Markus told me Dogecoin was made without much real thought.

Palmer, who says he follows cryptocurrency closely, took notice of the sheer amount of altcoins that have popped up in an attempt to take a bit of market share away from Bitcoin. Megacoin, AnonCoin, SexCoin, WorldCoin, DigitalCoin, GoldCoin, BBQCoin these are every genuine virtual currencies upon the market right now. So, upon November 27th, Palmer tweeted jokingly that he was investing in Dogecoin, beautiful certain its the next huge thing, to which some of his friends encouraged him to actually make it happen. So he did.

As Palmer told me, one night after work, I sat down with a beer, I had too much time upon my hands, and I bought Dogecoin.com. Then I Photoshopped the logo onto the coin and put it up there.

When Palmer published that simple website less than a month ago, he didnt have any of the software written that would have made Dogecoin an actual currency. Then Markus found the early Dogecoin website and reached out to Palmer.

Much investment

I was tinkering with a coin that I had already made called Bells, based off of Nintendos Animal Crossing, that wasnt particularly successful," Markus said. "I was mucking with it and I figured out how to change every the fonts to Comic Sans MS, then thought, oh ok, this could be funny. So I had a mockup of the client with the Dogecoin picture Palmer made, and I just wanted to show that I wasnt a n00b and I could actually make coins This wasnt some weird master plan that we had.

Once Markus proved to Palmer he could turn Dogecoin into a functional virtual currency, Palmer was ready to go. After he sent the screenshot to me, we got in touch over email and thought: Lets shove this thing out,'" he said.

While I assumed that Markus and Palmer must be rolling in Dogecoins right now, apparently that isnt the case. Cryptocurrency is generated through a process called mining, where the computers on the currencys network are paid to decode blocks that help the network verify transactions. Given that Markus and Palmer were the first people on the Dogecoin network, it would follow that they would be able to get a ton of Dogesbecause no other mining computers would be competing with them for blocks at the timebut Markus told me Dogecoin gained popularity so quickly he was unable to collect a significant stash of virtual dog money.

The quick growth of Dogecoin speaks to the power of memes more than everything else. As a Litecoin clone, the currency's major difference from a number of other altcoins is its marketing. According to Palmer, having a fluffy dog as a mascot is indeed the key.

A lot of cryptocurrencynamely Bitcoin, with its history with Silk Roadhas been sitting in the shadows. Its associated with the dark web," Palmer said. "So I think by combining a coin with a meme, which is something that people see spammed to hell upon their Twitter and Facebook feeds every day, I think it adds a face, the Doge face, and makes it more accessible. Its something people can acquire behind. Its no longer this shady thing that geeks in basements use."

"Its important to note that this wasnt some master scheme, it was just the two of us throwing a few emails back and forth before we pushed it out there," Palmer continued.

"The amount of people who are rooting for this and have some Doges and are really good natured about it is amazing."

The crucial struggle for Bitcoin, and cryptocurrency at large, is getting people to understand what it is, how it works, and  how it can be useful to them. People are curious about cryptocurrency, but they dont understand it. While Dogecoin still has a much smaller market hat than Bitcoin, anecdotal evidence suggests its meme-based accessibility is helping attract new users.

In hindsight it was obvious that cryptocurrency was ready for something that was more accessible, and a meme is obviously really accessible," Markus said. "Everyone recognizes the doge meme. Its based on a dog, and everyone loves dogs. It was a perfect storm.

And there's hard evidence that Dogecoin is working at least a bit outside the Bitcoin sphere: when Bitcoin suffered a 50 percent price decline last week, all altcoin crashed right along with Bitcoin for except for Dogecoin, which jumped up 14 percent. (The bubble popped this last weekend, but Dogecoin  appears to be on the up again.)

Cryptocurrency has a lot of growing to do, and it also has a lot of stabilizing to do," Palmer said. "If every weve done with Dogecoin at the end of the day is grow awareness in a decentralized currency such as Bitcoin, then I think weve done a fine job, because for a lot of the people who are using Doge now, its their first cryptocurrency that theyve ever used, and theyve started mining. Theyre learning, and I think its good that people actually desire to learn about it because its associated with this doge meme.

Essentially, Dogecoins Shibe is the Trojan Horse through which Palmer and Markus have introduced cryptocurrency to a growing audience. Currently, Dogecoin is bouncing between the 10th and 14th spot for the worlds largest cryptocurrency in terms of market hat, it is being searched on Google more than Litecoin, the supposed silver to Bitcoins gold, and the Dogecoin subreddit is one of the fastest growing conversation boards upon Reddit itself.

Of course, this rapid growth is based upon almost nothing at every, given that there is no real means to exchange it for goods and services, moreover tipping fellow Dogecoin enthusiasts when they make a funny Dogecoin characterize or video, or by giving someone Dogecoin to buy you a pizza. If Dogecoin stays popular, genuine-world applications will appear here and there. For example, there's a martial arts school in California, called Kuk Sool Won, that accepts Dogecoin as payment, and there's chat of starting an online foundation for dog shelters that accepts Dogecoin donations.

Still, Dogecoin is more than likely just a mad internet fad that will dissipate into nothingness in the next three months. But what if it doesnt? Adoption is key. Last week, when Dogecoin was introduced to a popular (and infamous for its many technical errors) cryptocurrency exchange called  Cryptsy, Dogecoins value quadrupled. For a currency that many people think is a stupid meme coin, that's noteworthy.

By no means does the Dogecoin community seem to have any grand delusions about the future of their beloved Shibe-dollar. The price doesnt even matter, said Markus. Palmer agrees.

The money doesnt matter, its more: Im getting something out of this, Im understanding how cryptocurrency works, Im learning, I profit to tip other people with it, I get to make other peoples days,'" he said. "In terms of the future of the currency, where Id like to see it is tipping. I think the success of the Dogecoin tip bot on Reddit is testament to that."

The tip bot Palmer is referring to is a easy script thats built into the Dogecoin subreddit that allows users to tip other users in Doge if they say something intellectual, post something funny, or provide them with a service. Its a micro-economy in the most micro way, but considering its scale, its been incredibly popular. Markus told me the tip bots coder reported 7,200 users used the tip bot in one week, for a total of 10,000 tips that totaled 20.6 million Doges, or about $8000 at current rates.

Palmer is a huge fan of the giving community that Dogecoin has. Its brought out the good nature of folks upon the internet, and thats something I really like to see," he said. "People are being generous, theyre not being negative, and I think thats whats key to this community, and I think it will into the future.

Given that the success of Dogecoin seems to be, by all accounts, an crash, Palmer and Markus seem dedicated to taking care of the currency. "I do feel responsible for this currency even if it started as a pet project, its a really good learning experience for me," Markus said. "The amount of people who are rooting for this and have some Doges and are really good natured about it is incredible. Even though it just crashed, theyre still saying: Thats ok, were still going to the moon! I really desire to create this a good currency.

Whether or not Dogecoin will succeed beyond the coming weeks will be largely up to the community. If it's able to help spread a wave of adoption while creating services that take Dogecoin for goods and services then, who knows, the world might have a sizable Dogecoin economy upon its hands. In the meantime, I asked Palmer and Markus where they think virtual money in general will be heading.

Markus told me it would be great to see a currency that when mined, instead of just sucking down electricity for no reason, did something useful in the way SETI@Home uses a distributed network to aid the search for intelligent life or how Folding@Home helps doctors and scientists fight disease. I think what everyone wants is a coin where the mining process is actually useful," he said.

Palmer just wants to buy a soda. My opinion with crypto is that a lot of it does require mainstream adoption, and thats happening and it will happen," he said. "I think the begin for that probably is more along the lines of microtransactions, or transactions where its not a huge purchasing decision. So, if Im going to buy a bottle of Coke and a vending machine started accepting Bitcoin, then thats something I wouldnt think twice about. If it could be integrated upon that level that would really help the crypto community in general by building the awareness that Bitcoin lacks today.

Good luck
