Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency made a comeback at the end of last year as retail investors and traders flocked back into the market to snap up Dogecoin.

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）最喜欢的加密货币在去年年底卷土重来，散户投资者和贸易商涌向市场，以抢购狗狗币。

The coin, which was launched as a joke in 2013, has persisted over the years and remained prominent, but just how serious is the business of mining the O.G. meme coin in 2024? Well, vendors at today’s Mining Disrupt conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, say people are actively buying the machines to do so.

这款硬币是在2013年开玩笑的，多年来一直坚持下去，并且仍然很突出，但是在2024年开采OG Meme Coin的业务有多严重？好吧，今天在佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡举行的矿业中断会议上的供应商说，人们正在积极购买机器。

The conference was heavily focused on the established business of Bitcoin mining, which is headlined by major, publicly traded firms and backed by President Trump, but coins like DOGE and Litecoin (LTC) also require proof-of-work mining and reward miners for supporting each chain.

该会议主要集中在既定的比特币开采业务上，该业务是由大型，公开贸易公司和特朗普总统支持的标题，但是Doge and Litecoin（LTC）等硬币也需要工作证明采矿并奖励矿工来支持每条连锁店。

In fact, the machines that mine such coins often mine them at the same time—technically dubbed “merged mining,” which lets them boost their earnings. And vendors said that miners of all stripes, from solo participants all the way up to public companies, are showing interest in order to earn a bit of extra cash.

实际上，这些硬币经常同时挖掘出这些硬币的机器（被称为“合并采矿”），这使它们可以提高收入。供应商说，从独奏参与者一直到上市公司的所有条纹的矿工都表现出兴趣，以赚取额外的现金。

“Mining DOGE or LTC can help miners maximize revenue,” said Payne Cong, head of business development at ElphaPex.

Elphapex业务发展主管Payne Cong说：“采矿道或LTC可以帮助矿工最大化收入。”

And Alan Martinez from hardware maker JSBIT told Decrypt that while the miners could potentially earn $750 per month mining DOGE on just one of the nearly silent machines, big mining companies are also showing interest in snapping up the money makers.

来自硬件制造商JSBIT的艾伦·马丁内斯（Alan Martinez）告诉Decrypt，尽管矿工可能每月只能在一台近乎无声的机器上赚取750美元的矿业矿业，但大型矿业公司也表现出有兴趣的兴趣。

“We’re talking with large firms—listed on the Nasdaq—who are interested,” he said.

他说：“我们正在与大型公司（纳斯达克河上的名字）交谈。”

Case in point: Last year, the Nasdaq-listed VivoPower (VVPR) announced that its subsidiary Caret Digital would start mining Dogecoin and Litecoin.

例子：去年，纳斯达克上市的Vivopower（VVPR）宣布其子公司Caret Digital将开始开采Dogecoin和Litecoin。

Data from CoinWarz shows that right now, miners can make profits of $5.83 per day mining DOGE with one machine. Mining Bitcoin with one machine can, on average, reap operators rewards of $9.41 per day.

Coinwarz的数据表明，目前，矿工可以用一台机器赚取每天$ 5.83的矿业利润。用一台机器采矿比特币平均每天收获$ 9.41。

Public American miner BIT Mining said in December that mining DOGE was a bigger cash cow for the company than the orange coin. Mining Bitcoin is becoming increasingly difficult for smaller players as mining difficulty increases and the price of the biggest digital asset takes a hit.

美国公共矿工比特（Bit Mining）在12月表示，矿业道德（Doge）比橙色硬币（Orange Coin）更大。随着采矿难度的提高，最大的数字资产的价格受到打击，采矿比特币变得越来越困难。

DOGE gained a cult following after Tesla boss and now Trump advisor Musk started talking about the coin on X (formerly Twitter). Before that, the asset was largely seen as a big joke—but then it started to gain substantial value.

在特斯拉老板和现在的特朗普顾问马斯克开始谈论X上的硬币（以前是Twitter）之后，Doge获得了追随者。在此之前，资产在很大程度上被视为一个大笑话，但随后它开始获得大量价值。

Recently, Musk praised the coin’s tokenomics. DOGE has an uncapped supply with 10,000 new coins minted every minute, and the tech billionaire has argued that this makes it good as a currency, instead of Bitcoin, which is largely touted as a “digital gold.” With its limited supply, Bitcoin is seen by many as a store of value rather than a coin that’s worth spending like cash.

最近，马斯克赞扬了硬币的标记学。 Doge每分钟都有10,000个新硬币的无上限供应，而科技亿万富翁则认为，这使它成为一种货币，而不是比特币，而不是比特币，这在很大程度上被吹捧为“数字黄金”。由于供应有限，比特币被许多人视为价值存储，而不是值得花钱的硬币。

But big-time miners aren’t getting small-time serious—at least not yet. Martinez said that so far, the biggest customers were small businesses, such as owners of cafes and office buildings.

但是大型矿工并没有变得很小，至少还没有。马丁内斯说，到目前为止，最大的客户是小型企业，例如咖啡馆和办公楼的所有者。

He cited an example of an unnamed coffee shop chain that he said was mining Dogecoin at six of its shops, “almost” like a side hustle, taking advantage of the heat recapture as well.

他列举了一个不愿透露姓名的咖啡店连锁店的例子，他说，该连锁店正在其六家商店开采Dogecoin，“几乎”像侧面喧嚣一样，也利用了热量捕获。

“Don’t turn on your heater—turn on your miner,” he said of DOGE mining’s additional benefits. “When was the last time a heater paid you?”

他说：“不要打开加热器，在矿工身上转移。” “加热器上次付给您的是什么时候？”
