Dogecoin's mining is similar to other blockchains that use proof-of-work. While miners are competing to add new blocks of transactions to the blockchain, they use their computers to solve a mathematical puzzle.
The miner receives 10,000 DOGE for every block solved. Dogecoin does not use reward-halving at the moment, unlike Bitcoin. Half-off was used during the early years of coin circulation. Before January 2015, the miner's compensation was cut in half. This is approximately every 69 or 100,000 blocks.
