How to mine Litecoin LTC with Dogecoin DOGE

31/10/2024

Litecoin is a cryptocurrency created in 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google employee. It was designed as a "lighter" version of Bitcoin, offering faster transactions and lower fees. Over time, Litecoin has become one of the most popular and well-established cryptocurrencies, widely used for quick and inexpensive transfers.

Dogecoin, on the other hand, was created in 2013 by programmers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a joke, based on the popular Shiba Inu dog meme. Despite its humorous origins, Dogecoin gained a large community and is commonly used for tipping online and charitable donations. Over the years, it has become one of the most recognizable cryptocurrencies, thanks in part to the support of its user base and public figures.

Kryptex Pool supports mining Litecoin along with Dogecoin using various ASIC devices. GPUs and CPUs, however, aren't capable of mining Litecoin, as they simply lack the necessary processing power.

Kryptex Pool uses PPS+ payout scheme.

With merge mining, you mine Litecoin and Dogecoin together. Every 24 hours, we convert Dogecoin to Litecoin, adding a bonus to your Litecoin rewards.

Supported miners

Kryptex LTC+DOGE Pool supports all well-known miner manufacturers:

  • Bitmain Antminer
  • Goldshell
  • ElphaPex
  • Innosilicon
  • FusionSilicon
  • BW

And this is not a complete list of all manufacturers.

Create a Litecoin LTC Wallet

To start Litecoin + Dogecoin mining, you should have a Litecoin wallet address. You can create your wallet or obtain a wallet address from a cryptocurrency exchange.

For prolonged storage, we recommend using your own wallets.

Alternatively, you can mine directly to your Kryptex account and withdraw cryptocurrency through various methods: in USDT starting from 1.5 dollars, in Bitcoin, in Ethereum, AdvCash wallet or even Amazon (US) eGift card. The process is explained in detail in our article.

Connecting to the Pool: Step-by-Step Guide

Let's take the Bitmain Antminer L9 ASIC as an example.

  1. Access the control panel of your ASIC.
  2. Navigate to the settings section, typically labeled "Miner Configuration" or "Settings".
  3. Input the following settings:
    • URL of the LTC+DOGE mining pool: stratum+tcp://ltc.kryptex.network:7777
    • Worker: Enter the wallet address for mining and the worker name in the format Wallet_Address.Worker_Name. The worker's name should comprise numbers and Latin letters, excluding spaces or special characters.
    • For instance: LgETtY86dfiWsgD3Mmcx1PtzhCdeYUVBaL.L9 where: LgETtY86dfiWsgD3Mmcx1PtzhCdeYUVBaL — represents the Litecoin wallet address. L9 is the chosen name for your worker in free form.
    • Ensure you use a Legacy Litecoin or SegWit Litecoin wallet address.
    • Password: This field is optional. You can either enter x or leave it blank.
  4. If needed, replicate these settings across all three profiles. This ensures that the ASIC will reconnect to the pool and resume operations in case of a connection loss.
  5. Save and apply the settings, then reboot the ASIC.

Monitoring Your Pool Mining Activity

Once your ASIC has stabilized, which typically takes up to 20 minutes, and you have successfully connected to the Kryptex Pool, you can check the status and profitability of your mining efforts on the pool page.

  1. Visit the LTC+DOGE Kryptex Pool at https://pool.kryptex.com/ltc.

  2. Input your wallet address into the search field and press Enter.

  3. View the statistics related to your ASIC on the pool.

  4. For additional monitoring, you can also track the performance of your ASIC through our dedicated monitoring bot on Telegram: https://t.me/KryptexMonitoringBot.
