比特幣（BTC）礦工越來越多地將注意力轉向Dogecoin（Doge）和Litecoin（LTC）

比特幣礦工之間的競爭是激烈的 - 這就是為什麼專業人士越來越多地將注意力轉向Dogecoin和Litecoin

Competition among Bitcoin miners is fierce – which is why professionals are increasingly turning their attention to Dogecoin and Litecoin, where they can profitably miner using specialized hardware. How does this actually work?

比特幣礦工之間的競爭是激烈的 - 這就是為什麼專業人士越來越多地將注意力轉移到Dogecoin和Litecoin上的原因，他們可以使用專門的硬件來獲利礦工。這實際上是如何工作的？

Last week, the world’s largest Bitcoin mining conference, “Mining Disrupt,” took place in the US, and two trends were observed: The industry is increasingly organizing mining of Dogecoin (DOGE) and Litecoin (LTC) . Furthermore, the use of electricity from renewable sources is becoming more attractive. To understand the situation, some background knowledge is necessary.

上週，世界上最大的比特幣採礦會議“礦業中斷”發生在美國，觀察到了兩種趨勢：該行業越來越多地組織開採Dogecoin（Doge）和Litecoin（LTC）。此外，可再生能源的電力越來越有吸引力。要了解情況，有必要一些背景知識。

Bitcoin (BTC), the mother of all cryptocurrencies, relies technologically on the Proof-of-Work (POW) protocol to ensure decentralization and thus security. Network participants can earn extra income through mining with PoW . However, these mining bonuses for BTC have been significantly reduced due to the Bitcoin halving in April 2024, intensifying competition. But Bitcoin isn’t the only cryptocurrency that uses the PoW protocol. Dogecoin and Litecoin are two altcoins among the 20 most capitalized cryptocurrencies that use the Bitcoin protocol with slight modifications, thus allowing mining.

所有加密貨幣的母親比特幣（BTC）在技術上依靠工作證明（POW）協議來確保權力下放並因此安全。網絡參與者可以通過與POW的採礦來賺取額外的收入。但是，由於2024年4月的比特幣減少了比特幣，BTC的這些採礦獎金已大大減少，這加劇了競爭。但是比特幣並不是唯一使用POW協議的加密貨幣。 Dogecoin和Litecoin是使用比特幣方案進行輕微修改的20種最大資本化的加密貨幣中的兩個山寨幣，因此可以採礦。

Back in December, BIT Mining, one of the major market players, announced that it would be using its equipment not only to mine Bitcoin, but also Dogecoin and Litecoin. This proved to be even more profitable than traditional Bitcoin mining at times.

早在12月，主要市場參與者之一Bit Mining宣布，它將不僅使用其設備來開採比特幣，還可以使用Dogecoin和Litecoin。事實證明，這比傳統比特幣採礦更具利潤。

Renewable power sources are an advantage when mining BTC, DOGE and LTC

挖掘BTC，Doge和LTC時，可再生能源是一個優勢

It’s no surprise, then, that at least one other major Bitcoin miner, Caret Digital, is now also incorporating Dogecoin and Litecoin into its calculations. Caret Digital is a subsidiary of VivoPower, which sells solar cells and operates its own power plants with renewable energy. With this combination, Caret Digital expects investments in Dogecoin mining to pay for themselves within the first year and subsequently generate profits.

因此，毫不奇怪的是，至少另一個主要的比特幣礦工Caret Digital也正在將Dogecoin和Litecoin納入其計算中。 Caret Digital是Vivopower的子公司，該子公司出售太陽能電池並以可再生能源運營自己的發電廠。通過這種組合，Caret Digital預計對Dogecoin礦業的投資將在第一年內支付自己的費用，並隨後產生利潤。

Here’s an important point: When it comes to Bitcoin mining, the three factors that determine profitability are the BTC price, the energy price, and the cost of the specialized computers. Companies like Caret Digital that can rely on receiving electricity below market prices gain a competitive advantage, which also applies to Dogecoin and Litecoin mining. Another innovative approach is to use the waste heat from the mining hardware for heating. For example, a coffee shop chain reported at the Miner Conference that it had installed computers for Dogecoin mining in its stores and was enjoying the additional heating power.

這是一個重要的一點：當涉及比特幣開採時，確定盈利能力的三個因素是BTC價格，能源價格和專用計算機的成本。像Caret Digital這樣的公司可以依靠低於市場價格的電力獲得競爭優勢，這也適用於Dogecoin和Litecoin採礦。另一種創新的方法是使用採礦硬件中的廢熱進行加熱。例如，一家咖啡店連鎖店在礦工會議上報導說，它在其商店中安裝了用於Dogecoin採礦的計算機，並享受了額外的供暖能力。

Crypto mining in Germany pointless due to high electricity prices

由於高電價，德國的加密礦山毫無意義

However, these examples also demonstrate that profitable crypto mining is a tricky business. Data services like CoinWarz show in model calculations that even assuming an electricity price equivalent to approximately 9 euro cents per kilowatt hour, Dogecoin and Litecoin miners are currently operating at a loss, and this doesn’t take into account the acquisition costs for the specialized computers.

但是，這些例子還表明，盈利的加密礦業開採是一項棘手的業務。諸如Coinwarz之類的數據服務顯示在模型計算中表明，即使假設電價相當於每千瓦時約9美分，Dogecoin和Litecoin Miners目前正在虧損，這也沒有考慮到專業計算機的收購成本。

In Germany, the average electricity price for private consumers is significantly more than 20 euro cents per kilowatt hour, making profitable Bitcoin mining a pipe dream.

在德國，私人消費者的平均電價大大超過每千瓦時20歐元，這使得有利可圖的比特幣挖掘了一個夢想中的夢想。

Conclusion: Crypto mining has its drawbacks with Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Litecoin

結論：加密礦業公司與比特幣，狗狗和萊特幣有缺點

Another major topic at the Miner Conference was the recent clarification by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that mining in the PoW protocol is legal and does not require licensing. This is in line with the crypto plans of President Donald Trump, who aims to boost Bitcoin mining in the US. Experts remain skeptical, particularly regarding Dogecoin mining, because the number one meme coin does not have a fixed token limit in its concept, unlike Bitcoin and Litecoin.

礦工會議上的另一個主要主題是美國證券交易委員會（SEC）最近澄清的是，POW協議中的採礦是合法的，並且不需要許可。這與唐納德·特朗普總統的加密計劃一致，唐納德·特朗普的加密計劃旨在提高美國的比特幣開採。專家仍然持懷疑態度，尤其是關於Dogecoin開采的態度，因為與比特幣和Litecoin不同，第一模因硬幣的概念沒有固定的令牌限制。

Every minute, 10,000 DOGE are distributed to miners, causing around 3 percent inflation. Furthermore, Dogecoin ‘s price curve has fallen back to the levels it held in November 2024, when Donald Trump clinched his election victory. We conclude: Profitable crypto mining is not realistic from Germany, with its current electricity prices. Before you fall for advertisements that promise passive income for Bitcoin mining or mining Litecoin and Dogecoin, you should do some math yourself.

每分鐘，將10,000個門將分配給礦工，導致大約3％的通貨膨脹。此外，Dogecoin的價格曲線已經降至2024年11月的唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）取得了選舉勝利時所佔的水平。我們得出結論：目前的電價，德國的盈利加密礦業開採並不現實。在您跌落廣告之前，可以承諾比特幣採礦或採礦萊特幣和狗狗幣的被動收入，您應該自己做一些數學。
