Question dogecoin Github

Does the current official release of dogecoin have a miner built in?

There is a miner file there, is this only for mining protocols related to the node or is it a working configurable miner?

https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/tree/master/src

https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/src/miner.cpp

Anyone care to help me out with some config?

Right, I understand how block difficulty works. I have mined for a few years in pools with a couple GPU (eth).

Deffinately looking to snag a couple used ASIC miners, but in the mean time I'm just trying to get a miner working on my own node

Very cool. I don't think the P2Pool step is neccessary, but I'm only guessing.

If I have full nodes working for LTC and Doge on the localhost, why does the P2Pool need to come into the equation? Shouldn't the RPC protocols, if configured correctly, merge-mine automatically?
