Scrypt miners, meet Bittensor
As of · Jun 4, 10:37 UTC
DogeLayer points existing Scrypt mining rigs at Bittensor, letting LTC and DOGE earn a subnet token for the same hashrate they already produce.
What is DogeLayer
DogeLayer is a Bittensor subnet built around proof-of-work mining hashrate for the Scrypt algorithm, the same algorithm that secures Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE). It runs as a mining pool: rigs connect to a stratum endpoint and contribute hashpower, and that contribution is measured on-chain.
The simple version: It's like a Litecoin mining pool, but with a second payout layer. You point your Scrypt ASIC at it, keep earning LTC/DOGE, and if your miner is registered on the subnet you also accrue a Bittensor token for the hashpower you provide.
Centralized equivalent: Traditional Scrypt pools like Litecoinpool, ViaBTC, Prohashing, or F2Pool. DogeLayer adds a Bittensor reward layer on top of the conventional pool model.
How it works:
- Miners contribute Scrypt mining hashrate to the pool through a stratum connection, using their subnet as the worker username.
- Validators rank and weight miners by the share-value, the hashpower, they produce over each period.
Why This Matters
- The problem it solves: Scrypt mining hardware is single-purpose. It hashes LTC/DOGE and does nothing else. DogeLayer gives that same hashpower a second, parallel reward stream without asking miners to buy new equipment or switch chains.
