Dogecoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, the same as Bitcoin. Answer true or false.
Answer
false
- hashing algorithm
- Interpreted as the proof-of-work algorithm being compared: Dogecoin uses Scrypt, while Bitcoin uses SHA-256.
- sources
- dogecoin.com, dogecoin algorithm/consensus overviews (okx learn, 'dogecoin algorithm guide' and 'dogecoin consensus mechanism'); dogecoin core source (src/crypto/scrypt.cpp) uses scrypt for proof of work, dogecoin core / documentation (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin) and litecoin documentation: dogecoin is a fork of litecoin and uses the scrypt proof-of-work hashing algorithm, not sha-256. bitcoin uses sha-256. therefore the statement is false., dogecoin core documentation (github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin) and litecoin project docs: dogecoin was forked from litecoin and uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for proof-of-work, not sha-256 (which bitcoin uses)., dogecoin core documentation (github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin) and the litecoin/dogecoin whitepaper lineage: dogecoin was forked from litecoin and uses the scrypt proof-of-work hashing algorithm, not sha-256. bitcoin uses sha-256 (bitcoin whitepaper, bitcoin.org). since dogecoin's mining hash function (scrypt) differs from bitcoin's (sha-256), the statement is false., dogecoin core documentation / dogecoin whitepaper (github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin): dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256. bitcoin uses sha-256. therefore the claim is false., dogecoin core documentation / wiki (dogecoin.com, github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin): dogecoin uses scrypt as its mining proof-of-work algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256. bitcoin uses sha-256. therefore the statement is false., dogecoin core documentation and source (dogecoin/dogecoin repository, src/chainparams.cpp and readme) specify dogecoin uses the scrypt proof-of-work algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256;

bitcoin uses sha-256. these are distinct algorithms, so the statement is false., dogecoin core source (src/chainparams.cpp / pow.cpp) and the litecoin project documentation both confirm dogecoin is a scrypt-based coin, merge-mined with litecoin, not sha-256 like bitcoin., dogecoin core source (src/chainparams.cpp and src/pow.cpp in the dogecoin/dogecoin repository, which use the scrypt pow function);

bitcoin core's pow uses double sha-256. the two algorithms differ, so the statement is false., dogecoin core source, src/crypto/scrypt.cpp and src/primitives/block.cpp (pow hash is scrypt, not sha-256d);
