Free Dogecoin Mining Is It Possible?

By Prashant Jha

Dogecoin, the meme that turned profitable, and now have a legit market position has been intriguing the world and grabbing everyone’s attention.

The unlimited supply factor has kept the prices fairly low, and it might be a good investment, but people always look for free stuff Don’t they?

The best thing about cryptocurrency is, it pays you for everything you contribute towards its network. And one way to earn any free cryptocurrency is through mining. So is it possible to mine Dogecoin for Free?

The answer is both YES & NO.

Let me explain,

Mining is a process of transaction verification since there is no centralized network of authorities taking care of the authentication process, the task falls on the shoulder of peers on the network.

So, YES you can mine dogecoin for free, so why NO?

Well, mining itself requires computational power known as Hash Rate or Hash Power. Since every transaction on the Blockchain network based cryptocurrency come with a 256-bit digital signature, which cannot be tampered.

In order to verify the transaction, the computer needs to run heavy code lines simultaneously, this process requires a ton of computational power.

So, in order to meet the Hash power demand to verify a block, your computer needs a specific set of hardware and software as a normal PC might overheat and consume a lot of energy and still might not fetch you the result.

The prerequisite for setting up a mining rig might be expensive, and a good CPU or GPU based mining rigs can easily cost you in upwards of $1,000.  

Thus, the process of mining might fetch you free Dogecoin, but the initial cost of setting up a mining rig is costly, thus nullifying the free mining theory.

Faucets are the best way to earn free Dogecoins and there are various websites offering the same. However, one must be careful as many faucets promising glittery return can be a scam.

Faucets basically pay you a free Dogecoin token for either answering a few questions or playing games. Since the market price of Dogecoin is fairly low, you might find faucets offering free Dogecoins.
