ElphaPex DG Hydro 1 20Gh Scrypt Litecoin & Dogecoin Miner: Product Overview
What Is the DG Hydro 1 and What Does It Mine?
The ElphaPex DG Hydro 1 20Gh is a dedicated Scrypt ASIC miner for Litecoin & Dogecoin. Manufactured by ElphaPex. This model belongs to the ElphaPex DG Series. Released in 2025.
Is the DG Hydro 1 Right for Your Setup?
Mining starts with power. A competitive electricity tariff or surplus renewable generation can give your operation a useful cost advantage, while higher electricity prices can make an otherwise capable miner uneconomic. Compare your rate and chosen coin in the earnings table, allowing for cooling, pool fees and any other operating costs.
Prefer to avoid the day-to-day work of running your own mining site? Our managed ASIC hosting services offer an alternative, with power, cooling and monitoring handled at the facility. Explore current locations and rates, then speak to our team to confirm compatibility, availability, minimum quantities and any additional fees.
This model requires a compatible liquid cooling installation. Confirm coolant requirements, flow, pressure, heat rejection and electrical supply against the manufacturer’s specifications before ordering.
Confirm the power supply, leads and cooling equipment included with your exact variant, and obtain its manufacturer’s installation manual before arranging the installation.
Which Coins Can the DG Hydro 1 Mine?
Mining Compatibility
Mining on the Scrypt algorithm, you can directly secure Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE) and DigiByte (DGB), while merged-mined coins-Dingocoin (DINGO), Pepecoin (PEP), Luckycoin (LKY), Bellscoin (BELLS), Junkcoin (JKC), Shibacoin (SHIC) and CraftCoin (CRC)-boost your payouts; you can also earn Bitcoin and other coins by selling your Scrypt hash-power on the NiceHash Hashpower Marketplace (Nicehash-Scrypt).
How Scrypt Mining Works
Scrypt is the proof of work algorithm used by Litecoin and Dogecoin. It combines hashing with memory access, although specialist ASICs are now established equipment for this work. Dogecoin supports merged mining, allowing suitable pools to use the work performed for another Scrypt chain, such as Litecoin, to secure Dogecoin as well. Receiving rewards from both networks depends on the pool and its payout arrangements. A Scrypt miner cannot switch to Bitcoin mining simply by changing its pool address.

Coin and merged mining support depend on the network, pool and firmware. Selling hashpower through a marketplace is different from directly mining its payout coin.
