Native WIN32 setup and build instructions (on mingw32/Windows):                                                                                                    (See bottom of file for steps to cross-build for Win32 from Linux.)                                                                                          Introduction                                                                                                                                                                 The following instructions have been tested on both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Most of what is described below (copying files, downloading files, etc.) can be done directly in the MinGW MSYS shell; these instructions do not do so because package versions and links change over time. The best way is to use your browser, go to the links directly, and see for yourself which versions you want to install. Winrar was used to do the extracting of archive files in the making of this guide. If you think that this

If you haven't completed part 1 of this guide please return there and setup your dogecoin node first. First we're going to need to configure our dogecoin core to listen for miners. We can start by using the example dogecoin.conf found on github here .  copy all lines of that configuration file and paste them into a text editor. Now we're going to remove comments on certain settings we need to run a node/server to mine from. These are the lines we want to remove the '#' comment symbol from. listen=1 server=1 rpcuser=makeusernamehere rpcpassword=makepwhere rpcport=22555 I like those settings because it tells Dogecoin Core to listen for rpc connections and that is IS a node server. The rpcuser and pass should be something unique so that nobody can control your wallet. The rpc port hel

You can actually end up spending more in electricity costs than you can gain in mining dogecoin because it's such a cpu intensive task. The emphasis on low powered computers in this article is geared around profitability. If you complete this tutorial on a high powered computer then it will also work but watch your power bill. The way that a cryptocurrency verifies its transactions is with what's known as cryptographic hashes. In the computer world, these hashes are typically used to store passwords for things like wifi and your operating system. When a computer saves these passwords, for example, it encrypts them with a key, usually a really high prime number , and then you have a scrambled set of characters that do not disclose the password to any reader
