Mine Soqucoin
SOQ uses Scrypt Proof-of-Work — the same algorithm as Dogecoin and Litecoin. Your Antminer L11, L9, L7, or any Scrypt ASIC works with zero configuration changes. Plus, merge-mine SOQ alongside LTC and DOGE for free bonus revenue.
Start Mining in 3 Steps
From zero to mining SOQ in under 5 minutes.
Choose a Pool
Pick a mining pool from the list below. Copy the pool's stratum URL and port number. If you're solo mining, skip to the solo mining section.
Configure Your Miner
Point your ASIC or mining software to the pool's stratum URL. Set your SOQ wallet address as the worker name. Use SoquShield to generate a wallet address.
Start Earning
Power on your miner and watch the hashrate appear in your pool dashboard. Block rewards are 500,000 SOQ per block (60-second block time).
Compatible Hardware
Scrypt mining requires ASIC hardware — the same machines that mine Litecoin and Dogecoin.
| Hardware | Hashrate | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Antminer L11 / L11 Pro | 20–21 GH/s | Bitmain's latest flagship Scrypt ASIC. Best-in-class efficiency for serious operations. |
| Antminer L9 / L7 | 9.5–17 GH/s | Proven mid-range Scrypt ASICs. Widely deployed and reliable workhorses. |
| Compact Home Miners | 0.1–1 GH/s | Goldshell Mini Doge 3+, Fluminer L2, and other desktop-friendly Scrypt ASICs. |
| NiceHash | Pay-per-hash | Rent Scrypt hashpower from the NiceHash marketplace. No hardware needed. |

Mine SOQ for free alongside your existing Litecoin and Dogecoin mining.
What is Merge Mining?
Soqucoin supports Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW), the same technology Dogecoin uses to merge-mine with Litecoin. This means any pool mining LTC or DOGE can simultaneously mine SOQ at zero additional cost — no extra electricity, no extra hardware, no performance impact.
Dogecoin itself was bootstrapped this way in 2014 via merge mining with Litecoin, and it's now a $25B+ network. SOQ inherits the security of the entire LTC/DOGE mining ecosystem from day one.
Pool operators: Adding AuxPoW support for SOQ is straightforward if your pool already supports LTC merge mining. Contact labs@soqu.org for integration guidance.
Solo Mining
Run your own node and mine directly. Full block reward, but less frequent payouts.
Solo Mining Setup
# 1. Install and run a full node
curl -sSL https://soqu.org/install.sh | bash
soqucoind -daemon
# 2. Wait for sync (check progress)
soqucoin-cli getblockchaininfo
# 3. Generate a mining address
soqucoin-cli getnewaddress "mining"
# 4. Enable mining
soqucoin-cli setgenerate true
# Or in soqucoin.conf:
gen=1
genproclimit=-1 # Use all CPU coresEarly Emission Window: During the first ~11 months, block rewards range from 500,000 SOQ down to 15,625 SOQ per block — dramatically higher than the permanent 10,000 SOQ/block floor. While network difficulty is still low, even smaller miners have a realistic chance of finding blocks solo.
Rule of thumb: If your hashrate is ≥1% of the total network hashrate, solo mining is viable. Check the current difficulty on the network dashboard. As more miners join and difficulty rises, pool mining will provide more consistent payouts — but in the early months, solo miners with any Scrypt ASIC can benefit from the high initial rewards.
