Cryptos by market cap). Dogecoin is the network, and DOGE is the token.Dogecoin rewards content creators for sharing content. Musicians, for example. It's a valuable service because existing mainstream platforms for content providers can be expensive.If you join a Dogecoin community, you can receive DOGE rewards, and the Dogecoin community is growing.How is Dogecoin Mined?Dogecoin uses proof of work (PoW) consensus for mining, which requires independent miners to validate transactions to secure the Dogecoin network.There is speculation that Dogecoin may transition to proof of stake (PoS) consensus in the future. Alex Mashinsky is a Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of the Celsius Network. Earlier last year, he commented, "I'm going to make a prediction," declared Mashinsky, "in the next two years, Dogecoin is going to migrate from proof of work to proof of stake."Unlike Bitcoin, which requires vast computing resources, you can still mine Dogecoin on a decent Windows system with a GPU (graphics processing unit). You can also mine DOGE on a Mac or Linux system.Mining Bitcoin is energy-intensive with huge electricity requirements. But, Dogecoin has low usage, with an average of 0.12 kWh (Source: TRG Datacenters). Low energy requirements equal lower running costs, which is why mining DOGE has become attractive to crypto miners.It takes 10-minutes to mine one Bitcoin, but one DOGE takes 1-minute to mine. DOGE blocks are discovered faster than Bitcoin. The rewards are significantly higher for mining DOGE than Bitcoin. Bitcoin rewards are 6.25 BTC, and DOGE rewards are 10,000 DOGE.One could argue that Bitcoin is $43k (6.25 x $43k = $268,931) and DOGE is $0.15 (10,000 x $0.15 = $1,500) so the rewards are inconsequential by comparison.Dogecoin has no maximum cap, so there are no limits on the number of coins mined.The process of mining DOGE is the same as Bitcoin. DOGE miners aim to create a fixed length of code called a hash, using a hashing algorithm called Scrypt. Bitcoin uses a more complex SHA-256 hashing algorithm. But more complex equals slower, which is why Dogecoin can produce a block faster than Bitcoin.The value of a hash is equal to or lower than the target hash. The miner who gets closest to the hash value is the one to get the DOGE rewards. The value doesn't have to be correct, simply the closest to the target.When a DOGE rig generates a value, it will spit out a random solution. There is no skill
