Dogecoin Hashprice
No chart here — honestly. None of our data sources publishes a per-day Dogecoin network-hashrate history, and without it a hashprice series can't be reconstructed, so we don't fabricate one. The live value above is computed fresh from the current 24-hour network hashrate and DOGE price. For scrypt-market history context, see the Litecoin hashprice chart — Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin, so the two networks' hashrate trends move together.
What is hashprice?
Hashprice is the industry-standard measure of gross miner revenue, applied here to Dogecoin: the US-dollar value one megahash per second (MH/s) of scrypt power earns in one day. It combines block subsidy, network hashrate and DOGE price into a single number you can compare against your electricity cost. Transaction fees exist on Dogecoin but are a negligible share of block rewards, so we treat them as zero rather than dressing the number up.
The merged-mining picture: Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin via AuxPoW — most large Litecoin pools mine both chains with the same hashes. A real scrypt rig therefore earns this DOGE hashprice plus the Litecoin hashprice, from the same watts.
How it's calculated
= 1,440 blocks/day × 10,000 DOGE × your share of the network × USD/DOGE
The live value uses the current 24-hour network hashrate and the live DOGE price, recomputed in your browser every 60 seconds. Dogecoin retargets difficulty every block (DigiShield), so unlike Bitcoin there is no two-week epoch — the network tracks hashrate changes almost immediately.
Why it matters for miners — and what moves it
With a fixed 10,000 DOGE subsidy forever (about 5.256 billion DOGE per year — flat issuance, so the inflation rate falls every year), Dogecoin hashprice has only two moving parts: network hashrate, which dilutes your share as more scrypt machines point at LTC+DOGE, and price. There are no halving cliffs. In practice DOGE often contributes a large fraction of a scrypt rig's total revenue, which is why merged mining kept L-series machines profitable through Litecoin's 2023 halving.
FAQ
- What is a good hashprice for mining Dogecoin?
- It depends on your power cost. A machine is profitable while its daily revenue (hashprice × its MH/s) exceeds its daily power cost (watts × 24 × your $/kWh ÷ 1,000). Example: a 9,050 MH/s, 3,425 W scrypt machine (approx. manufacturer spec) at $0.06/kWh burns about $4.93/day in electricity. Since Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin, compare that cost against DOGE hashprice plus LTC hashprice combined — nobody mines DOGE alone at scale.
- Does Dogecoin hashprice drop at halvings?
- No — Dogecoin has no halvings. The block subsidy is fixed at 10,000 DOGE per block forever, about 5.256 billion DOGE per year, so the inflation rate falls each year while issuance stays flat. Dogecoin hashprice therefore only falls when network hashrate grows faster than price, or when price drops — never in a scheduled overnight step like BTC or LTC.
- Does hashprice include pool fees?
- No. Hashprice is gross network-level revenue per MH/s per day. To get your net number, subtract your pool's fee (typically 0–2%) and your electricity cost — and add the Litecoin side of your merged-mining payout.
