How Much Does a Goldshell Mini-DOGE Miner Earn a Day Currently

The Goldshell Mini-DOGE ASIC miners for mining Scrypt-based crypto coins such as Litecoin (LTC) and DogeCoin (DOGE) are quite popular topic among the home miners with the recent spike in the price of both mentioned coins. The miner has the DOGE in its name, but you can mine any Scrypt-based crypto coin and there is actually no point in mining only DogeCoin with it as DOGE is merge-mined with Litecoin, so you are essentially mining Litecoin and DogeCoin together and not only one or the other. Of course, there are quite a few other crypto coins out there that use the Scrypt algorithm, it has been one of the earliest alternatives to Bitcoin’s SHA-256 algorithm, though probably mining for LTC and DOGE is the most popular way these are being used.

It is interesting to note that the Goldshell Mini-DOGE Miner is no longer available for sale by Goldshell as it has been replaced by a slightly faster in terms of hashrate and better in terms of power usage Pro version (205 MH/s at 220 Watts or about 1.1 Watt per Megahash), however you can easily find the non-pro version on the second-hand miner market. And you will be surprised to see that these small home miners do not come very cheap, even though they are not that profitable at the moment. And if you are buying one, just make sure you get the WiFi version as it makes it much easier for home use as there is also a non-WiFi equipped earlier model apparently. If you manage to get a good deal on a Mini-DOGE Pro miner (they come with black cases, so they are easy to differentiate) you better go for that one, though it is not that much of a difference to justify a big price difference.

The official specifications of these small miners are 185 MH/s Scrypt mining hashrate and 233 Watts of power usage, or with other words about 1.26 Watts per Megahash as power efficiency. Just as a reference the quite old already and still quite popular Bitmain L3 Scrypt ASIC miner offers around 1.6W per Megahash and can be optimized to work with around 1.3 Watts per Megahash which is very similar to the Mini-DOGE. So, if you are looking at buying a Goldshell Mini-DOGE you might also check out the options for a Bitmain AntMiner L3 with a custom firmware, it might come cheaper with higher hashrate, but also a bit bulkier and noisier and no WiFi option on that one.

But let us get back to the main question and it is how much do these Goldshell Mini-DOGE Scrypt ASIC miners able to currently mine in terms of LTC and…
