Topic: Beginners Guide to CPU mining DogeCoins - Now with images! (Read 88520 times)

Could somebody help me out with something please? When I run the batch file I created to start minerd, finally I got it to trigger a box popping up that says- "What program do you want to use to run minerd.exe?" Can anybody tell me how I can get past this, and just have minerd start running from my command line batch file? I am Definitely Not a computer expert. Thanks guys.

I am not mining this but I think you don't want to be mining with a CPU.  Anybody mining with a good graphics card will be hundreds of times more successful.  

i cant seem to be able to run or do this thing properly, i keep getting an error, either im using the wrong software or im completely lost, can anyone give me a link of the mimer i should download for windows 7 ultimate 32bit? thanks

Wow. End this thread. You must explain the risk to the computer...

Many of these Doge miners are younger, and newer to the crypto world. Note the guy above who says his 40 doge coins hes mining could be worth 10$ in the future, so "yeh 400$ a day is worth it."

The energy and declining hardware costs are huge. 40 Doges a day, even at a short term miracle price of 1 cent/doge (10x current market cap, and would require Doge to be receiving more NEW invested money per day than BTC currently is) isn't worth it. Not even close.

Once Doge is more valuable than BTC (thats an if), not only will it be harder to get as many Doges per day with your CPU, but it will finally almost be worth it to mine with your CPU.

I'm not the biggest fan of Memorycoin and I agree with the guy above^. Mine it, sell it, buy your favorite crypto or hold BTC.

Newbie here just wondering If you could advise me If I am doing the right thing or is there no point continuing with this pool/mining.

So I've not been around as much as I would have hoped recently and just wanted to clear a few things up having read through the recent posts. Recently I've not been at all happy with the service from cryptovalley and so I would recommend a different pool and I will be updating the thread accordingly. A lot of you are having connection issues due to using that pool and no other reason. Apologies, I did recommend this pool at the time as it was the best I had found but they have gone down hill since. Currently I use multipool.us - either for their profit switching mining pool or just for the dogecoin specific pool (their website lists different ports to use if you just want to stick to one currency rather than auto-switching) however they do charge a fair old rate on withdrawals and so you may want to look around yourself and be sure to check out the miners and withdrawal fees to make sure they aren't too bad.

Mining on your CPU for dog isn't anywhere near as profitable as it used to be, back when I wrote this tutorial my 50 KH/s that I got from my CPU was enough to get me a couple thousand a day but it certainly isn't anymore (bare in mind the price of doge was only like 30 satoshis at the time so it still wasn't great. However, that doesn't mean that those of you who are simply curious about the currency can't just give it a little go .

These days the only real way to effectively mine doge is with a fairly decent GPU (graphics card), for example my new GTX 760 which can mine at 250 KH/s but even that isn't exactly going to make you rich or anything. Plus, baring in mind the card set me back £200 it certainly isn't something to try and invest in.

I'll try put together a GPU mining tutorial for Doge in the next couple days if you have a GPU and are interested. It's a fairly similar process but is complicated by the variety of graphics cards around and the varying software required to utilize such cards. Anyhow, if I do write a tutorial for it I'll be sure to post here to update you all.
