Out of curiosity and to better understand the recent cryptocurrency craze I started to mine dogecoins.
First, I installed the +scrypt variant of cgminer via MacPorts (you need version 3.7.2, the last one being able to mine via GPU/scrypt – you can read how to install an older version of a port at the official MacPorts site).
Then I registered an account at doge.gentoomen.org – which unfortunately ceased to exist not even 12 hours later…
So I checked out some other doge mining pools and currently use doge.coinium.org – there is a good getting started guide for the whole setup process.
For now I am mining ahead at a speed of approx. 7 Kh/s average and looking forward to earn my first dogecoin – if ever…
Update: Halted the mining process after approx. 20 hours due to the noise and heat emerging from the laptop. In fact, I seem to have some confirmed dogecoins now, estimated worth 0,00001 € or something, but I gained a lot of insights to the whacky, parallel existence of cryptocurrencies.

“Bitcoin is pretty much designed for tax evasion. Moreover, The Gini coefficient of the Bitcoin economy is ghastly, and getting worse, to an extent that makes a sub-Saharan African kleptocracy look like a socialist utopia (…)” (Via hubski.com.)

“Design is now happening more and more in the form of code. It’s less and less about people who boot up Photoshop (and I use that term purposefully, because it takes that long to start up), work exclusively in there, and hand off a PSD to the development team.”
