比特币（BTC）矿工越来越多地将注意力转向Dogecoin（Doge）和Litecoin（LTC）

比特币矿工之间的竞争是激烈的 - 这就是为什么专业人士越来越多地将注意力转向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?

比特币矿工之间的竞争是激烈的 - 这就是为什么专业人士越来越多地将注意力转移到Dogecoin和Litecoin上的原因，他们可以使用专门的硬件来获利矿工。这实际上是如何工作的？

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.

上周，世界上最大的比特币采矿会议“矿业中断”发生在美国，观察到了两种趋势：该行业越来越多地组织开采Dogecoin（Doge）和Litecoin（LTC）。此外，可再生能源的电力越来越有吸引力。要了解情况，有必要一些背景知识。

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.

所有加密货币的母亲比特币（BTC）在技术上依靠工作证明（POW）协议来确保权力下放并因此安全。网络参与者可以通过与POW的采矿来赚取额外的收入。但是，由于2024年4月的比特币减少了比特币，BTC的这些采矿奖金已大大减少，这加剧了竞争。但是比特币并不是唯一使用POW协议的加密货币。 Dogecoin和Litecoin是使用比特币方案进行轻微修改的20种最大资本化的加密货币中的两个山寨币，因此可以采矿。

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，主要市场参与者之一Bit Mining宣布，它将不仅使用其设备来开采比特币，还可以使用Dogecoin和Litecoin。事实证明，这比传统比特币采矿更具利润。

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

挖掘BTC，Doge和LTC时，可再生能源是一个优势

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，至少另一个主要的比特币矿工Caret Digital也正在将Dogecoin和Litecoin纳入其计算中。 Caret Digital是Vivopower的子公司，该子公司出售太阳能电池并以可再生能源运营自己的发电厂。通过这种组合，Caret Digital预计对Dogecoin矿业的投资将在第一年内支付自己的费用，并随后产生利润。

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.

这是一个重要的一点：当涉及比特币开采时，确定盈利能力的三个因素是BTC价格，能源价格和专用计算机的成本。像Caret Digital这样的公司可以依靠低于市场价格的电力获得竞争优势，这也适用于Dogecoin和Litecoin采矿。另一种创新的方法是使用采矿硬件中的废热进行加热。例如，一家咖啡店连锁店在矿工会议上报道说，它在其商店中安装了用于Dogecoin采矿的计算机，并享受了额外的供暖能力。

Crypto mining in Germany pointless due to high electricity prices

由于高电价，德国的加密矿山毫无意义

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，这些例子还表明，盈利的加密矿业开采是一项棘手的业务。诸如Coinwarz之类的数据服务显示在模型计算中表明，即使假设电价相当于每千瓦时约9美分，Dogecoin和Litecoin Miners目前正在亏损，这也没有考虑到专业计算机的收购成本。

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.

在德国，私人消费者的平均电价大大超过每千瓦时20欧元，这使得有利可图的比特币挖掘了一个梦想中的梦想。

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

结论：加密矿业公司与比特币，狗狗和莱特币有缺点

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.

矿工会议上的另一个主要主题是美国证券交易委员会（SEC）最近澄清的是，POW协议中的采矿是合法的，并且不需要许可。这与唐纳德·特朗普总统的加密计划一致，唐纳德·特朗普的加密计划旨在提高美国的比特币开采。专家仍然持怀疑态度，尤其是关于Dogecoin开采的态度，因为与比特币和Litecoin不同，第一模因硬币的概念没有固定的令牌限制。

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.

每分钟，将10,000个门将分配给矿工，导致大约3％的通货膨胀。此外，Dogecoin的价格曲线已经降至2024年11月的唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）取得了选举胜利时所占的水平。我们得出结论：目前的电价，德国的盈利加密矿业开采并不现实。在您跌落广告之前，可以承诺比特币采矿或采矿莱特币和狗狗币的被动收入，您应该自己做一些数学。
