- github.com, bitcoin wiki / dogecoin documentation: dogecoin's proof-of-work uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (same as litecoin, which dogecoin was forked from), dogecoin (official repository, https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin) documentation and source: dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work, inherited from litecoin. this is a static protocol fact, not derived from on-chain ethereum data; the pinned ethereum block window only timestamps the request., dogecoin core / dogecoin wiki: dogecoin uses the scrypt proof-of-work hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), as opposed to bitcoin's sha-256., dogecoin core / litecoin documentation: dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work (inherited from its litecoin codebase fork), as opposed to bitcoin's sha-256., dogecoin core documentation / dogecoin.com faq and litecoin whitepaper: dogecoin forked from litecoin and uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work mining, as opposed to bitcoin's sha-256., dogecoin core documentation / dogecoin.com faq: dogecoin's proof-of-work uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), distinct from bitcoin's sha-256., dogecoin core documentation / litecoin whitepaper describe dogecoin as a litecoin fork using the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work (merge-mined with litecoin, both scrypt-based)., dogecoin core documentation / wikipedia "dogecoin" article: dogecoin's proof-of-work uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256., dogecoin core documentation and the dogecoin whitepaper/wiki (dogecoin.com, github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin) state that dogecoin's proof-of-work uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256., dogecoin core documentation and the litecoin/dogecoin whitepapers describe dogecoin's proof-of-work as using the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), as opposed to bitcoin's sha-256., dogecoin core faq https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/doc/faq.md;

dogecoin wiki describes dogecoin's pow as scrypt, inherited from litecoin, dogecoin github repository (dogecoin/dogecoin), readme and src/chainparams.cpp / pow.cpp, which specify dogecoin uses scrypt as its proof-of-work hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin); corroborated by the dogecoin core documentation at https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/readme.md, dogecoin github repository (dogecoin/dogecoin), src/chainparams.cpp and src/pow.cpp, which implement scrypt as the proof-of-work hashing algorithm; corroborated by the dogecoin core documentation at https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/readme.md describing dogecoin as a scrypt-based (litecoin-derived) proof-of-work cryptocurrency., dogecoin is a fork of litecoin and uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work consensus, as documented in the dogecoin project's own technical description and widely-cited reference material (e.g. dogecoin github readme / litecoin whitepaper lineage)., dogecoin official documentation (https://dogecoin.com) and the litecoin wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/litecoin), both of which state dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for proof-of-work, inherited from its litecoin codebase fork., dogecoin official repository readme, https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin (raw readme.md): 'uses the scrypt hashing method for proof of work'; corroborated by wikipedia 'dogecoin' infobox, hash_function: 'scrypt-based'., dogecoin project documentation (dogecoin.com / github dogecoin/dogecoin readme): dogecoin's proof-of-work uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256., dogecoin protocol documentation (dogecoin is a fork of litecoin, which uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work; this is dogecoin's publicly documented pow algorithm, unchanged since launch)., dogecoin protocol documentation / dogecoin core source (chainparams, pow.cpp) and litecoin whitepaper lineage: dogecoin's proof of work uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256., dogecoin uses scrypt as its proof-of-work hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin's fork design), as documented in the dogecoin core source (src/chainparams.cpp / pow.cpp use cscrypthash / getpowhash via scrypt) and standard dogecoin protocol documentation., dogecoin uses scrypt as its proof-of-work hashing algorithm (per the dogecoin project's own documentation and source code, which define the block hashing function as scrypt, inherited from litecoin)., dogecoin uses the litecoin codebase, whose proof-of-work hashing algorithm is scrypt (as specified in the litecoin/dogecoin source and documented on the dogecoin wiki and litecoin whitepaper)., dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work (inherited from litecoin, per the dogecoin protocol documentation and source code, e.g. github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin readme and src/ consensus code using scrypt for block hashing)., dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work (inherited from litecoin, per the dogecoin protocol specification / dogecoin/dogecoin github repository and documented on the dogecoin wiki)., dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work (inherited from litecoin, which dogecoin forked from); documented on the dogecoin wiki (https://dogecoin.com) and litecoin whitepaper describing the scrypt pow algorithm., dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work mining (inherited from litecoin, which dogecoin forked from); documented on the dogecoin project wiki (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/readme.md) and wikipedia's dogecoin article, both of which state dogecoin uses scrypt rather than sha-256., dogecoin uses the scrypt hashing algorithm for its proof-of-work, inherited from litecoin (dogecoin was forked from litecoin in 2013). this is documented in the dogecoin project's official github repository (dogecoin/dogecoin) and its whitepaper/documentation, which state the chain uses scrypt-based pow rather than sha-256., dogecoin wiki / litecoin whitepaper: dogecoin's proof-of-work uses the scrypt hashing algorithm (inherited from litecoin), not sha-256., dogecoin.com, dogecoin/dogepedia and coindesk-style dogecoin mining guides (web search results, 2026-10-04): dogecoin uses scrypt proof of work, as litecoin does, en.wikipedia.org, official dogecoin core readme (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/readme.md) and official dogecoin core faq (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/doc/faq.md), raw.githubusercontent.com, websearch (standard mode), dogecoin mining sources: cartesi docs dogecoin-hash tutorial (docs.cartesi.io/tutorials/dogecoin-hash/create-project) and dogepedia 'what is a miner' (dogecoin.com/dogepedia/articles/what-is-a-miner/); both state dogecoin pow uses scrypt.
