Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin. Answer true or false.

Answer

true
merge-mined
Dogecoin supports AuxPoW (auxiliary proof-of-work), allowing Scrypt-based miners, chiefly Litecoin miners, to simultaneously mine Dogecoin blocks alongside Litecoin blocks without extra hashing work, since Dogecoin enabled merge mining in September 2014.
