Litecoin & Dogecoin Scrypt Mining Guide
SoloMineLab runs live Scrypt Stratum infrastructure for three distinct solo configurations: Litecoin Solo (port 3335), LTC + DOGE Merged Mining via AuxPoW (port 3336), and Dogecoin Solo via AuxPoW (port 3337). All three are non-custodial solo modes—not shared PPS/PPLNS payout pools—so any discovered block pays 98.5% directly to your winning wallet in the coinbase transaction.
Winning blocks settle 98.5% directly to your coinbase output (vout[0]) and 1.5% to SoloMineLab (vout[1]) directly on-chain with zero pool custody (subject to tx fees and consensus block maturity). Zero fees apply to submitted shares, and there is no account balance or withdrawal threshold. See full Non-Custodial Solo Mining Architecture →
Scrypt Stratum Endpoints & Dual-Wallet Options
Scrypt ASIC miners such as Antminer L7/L9/L3+, ElphaPex DG1, Goldshell, and FutureBit Apollo configure three fields: Pool URL, Username, and Password. Every port enforces live address and checksum validation before accepting work:
| Mode | Stratum Endpoint | Username | Password | Coinbase Payout |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LTC Solo | stratum+tcp://ltc.solominelab.com:3335 | YOUR_LTC_ADDRESS.rig01 | x (or d=DIFF) | Litecoin wallet (98.5%) |
| DOGE Solo (AuxPoW) | stratum+tcp://doge.solominelab.com:3337 | YOUR_DOGE_ADDRESS.rig01 | x (or d=DIFF) | Dogecoin wallet (98.5%) |
| LTC+DOGE Merged | stratum+tcp://ltc.solominelab.com:3336 | YOUR_LTC_ADDRESS.rig01 (or LTC_ADDR+DOGE_ADDR.rig01) | doge=YOUR_DOGE_ADDRESS (or x) | Separate LTC & DOGE wallets (98.5% each) |
The optional .rig01 suffix labels individual rigs in the live Miners dashboard without altering your coinbase payout destination. The string doge=YOUR_DOGE_ADDRESS in the Password field specifies your Dogecoin payout address for merged mining—it is not an account password.
1. Litecoin Solo (:3335)
Pool URL: stratum+tcp://ltc.solominelab.com:3335
Username: YOUR_LTC_ADDRESS.asic01
Password: x
Targets Litecoin blocks exclusively (including SegWit and MWEB block template rules on our co-located Litecoin node). Visit the live Litecoin Solo Mining Pool or open the LTC Setup Assistant for hardware presets and block time estimates.
2. Dogecoin Solo via AuxPoW (:3337)
Pool URL: stratum+tcp://doge.solominelab.com:3337
Username: YOUR_DOGE_ADDRESS.asic01
Password: x
Modern Dogecoin mainnet enforces AuxPoW (Auxiliary Proof-of-Work) consensus. Rather than a custodial single-address createauxblock setup, port 3337 builds your non-custodial Dogecoin child candidate via getblocktemplate (vout[0] pays 98.5% straight to your validated D... / P2SH wallet) under a synthetic 0-sat OP_RETURN AuxPoW parent commitment—so no Litecoin wallet is needed. View active workers on the Dogecoin Solo Mining Pool.
3. Litecoin + Dogecoin Merged Mining (:3336)
Pool URL: stratum+tcp://ltc.solominelab.com:3336 (or stratum+tcp://doge.solominelab.com:3336)
Syntax A (Standard): Username YOUR_LTC_ADDRESS.asic01 · Password doge=YOUR_DOGE_ADDRESS
Syntax B (Dual-Username for panels reserving Password): Username YOUR_LTC_ADDRESS+YOUR_DOGE_ADDRESS.asic01 · Password x
Port 3336 constructs two separate coinbase transactions per miner: a Litecoin parent coinbase paying 98.5% directly to your LTC wallet (carrying the fabe6d6d commitment to the Dogecoin block hash in scriptSig) and a separate Dogecoin child coinbase from getblocktemplate paying 98.5% directly to your DOGE wallet via CAuxPow. Because Dogecoin and Litecoin maintain independent difficulties, every Scrypt hash checks both chains with zero hashrate penalty. Verified for direct ASICs and Mining Rig Rentals via the Merged Setup Assistant and Non-Custodial Guide.
Hardware Compatibility & Wallet Rules
Only Scrypt ASIC hardware can mine Litecoin or Dogecoin. SHA-256 hardware such as Bitaxe or Bitcoin Antminers must use BTC (:3333) or BCH (:3334) instead.
Always mine to self-custodial wallets whose addresses accept direct coinbase outputs. Never point solo miners to custodial exchange deposit addresses without confirming coinbase transaction support.
FAQ
Do I need two wallets for LTC+DOGE merged mining?
Yes. Merged mining on port 3336 settles Litecoin block rewards to your LTC wallet and Dogecoin block rewards to a separate DOGE wallet. Single-coin modes on ports 3335 and 3337 require only that coin's wallet.
Is SoloMineLab Dogecoin a solo pool or a PPS/PPLNS shared pool?
SoloMineLab is strictly a non-custodial solo pool, not a proportional or PPS/PPLNS payout pool. Winning miners receive 98.5% of any valid block found directly via the block coinbase transaction.
Does LTC+DOGE merged mining cut my Scrypt hashrate in half?
No. The pool includes the Dogecoin AuxPoW commitment inside the Litecoin work template so every Scrypt hash is tested simultaneously against both chains with zero hashrate penalty.
Can I connect multiple Scrypt ASICs using the same wallet?
Yes. Append unique worker names such as .l7a and .l7b to your payout address so each machine appears independently in live telemetry while crediting the same wallet.
