XMR Mining

What is XMR Mining?

Monero (XMR) mining refers to the process of verifying transactions on the Monero blockchain and adding them to the ledger in a secure, decentralized, and privacy-focused manner. Unlike Bitcoin, XMR uses the RandomX algorithm, which is optimized for CPUs, making it more accessible to individual miners.
