Qubic Starts Dogecoin Mining Phase 2, Shifting Rewards Away From XMR

Qubic has entered phase 2 of its Dogecoin mining rollout, shifting miner rewards from Monero (XMR) to DOGE-based incentives. Starting with epoch 209, computors can operate in either XMR or DOGE mode, with only the higher-yielding contribution counted per index—effectively phasing out XMR if DOGE is more profitable. All block rewards are used for QUBIC buybacks, which are then distributed proportionally based on Dogecoin shares submitted. This transition, part of a three-phase plan announced in March, aims to fully migrate from XMR to DOGE, allowing parallel operation of DOGE mining (via Scrypt ASICs) and AI training (on CPUs/GPUs). Phase 2 introduces weekly reward windows, aligning with Qubic’s goal of scaling toward full-capacity dual-workstream operations.
