What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency featuring a likeness of the Shiba Inu dog from the “Doge” Internet meme as its logo,  that was forked from Litecoin in Dec 2013. Dogecoin has been primarily used as a tipping system on Reddit and Twitter to reward the creation or sharing of quality content. Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia created Dogecoin, envisaged as a fun, light-hearted cryptocurrency that would have greater appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience.

Dogecoin Mining: Solo vs Pool

You need to pay small fee when you mine as a part of Digecoin mining. You receive a small portion of the total reward when a pool mines a block. But a pool mines block more often that a solo miner. That is why chance of getting reward in a pool in more than solo mining. This can provide you with a steady new supply of Dogecoin.

As a beginner, You should join a Dogecoin pool. This way you won’t have to wait as long to mine your first block of new currency. You’ll also feel like you’re part of the community and that’s what Dogecoin is all about!
