Monero Mining - Untraceable Mining
I'm also the author of similar content found in Wordpress
Happy Saturday, Crypt-o-financers! This is a follow up post to my previous blog about Monero. Most of the content of this post was provided by our content partner, Coincentral. Today, I'll be discussing about Monero Mining. For the original article, you can also view it here.
Since Monero starts gaining popularity as a privacy cryptocurrency, interest in its mining also started to rise.

Monero Mining Advantages:
1. Cooler Mining Temperatures - Monero mining rigs can last longer than Bitcoin or Ethereum mining due to its lower computing requirements.
2. Price Value - Monero has risen in value from less than $1 in 2016 to $250 which makes Monero mining relatively profitable.
3. Decentralization Oriented - Monero mining program tries to stay away from ASIC* miners (type of mining software), as this trumps the coin's purpose to be decentralized, making it easier for people to mine this currency.
You can get to know more about ASIC mining software by going to this blog post, watching the video there.
4. Exchangeability - Monero is commonly listed on different exchanges, making it easier for Monero holders to exchange it to other cryptocurrencies like bitcoin for liquidation purposes.
5. Easy Hardware Requirements - As monero mining hardware requirements are less than other coins, this makes it easier to mine and more profitable than other coins.
Monero Mining Disadvantages:
1. Can't be mined by ASIC - Potential ASIC hardware manufacturers designed to mine monero may waste their efforts and resources as the program doesn't support it. Bitcoin mining though supports ASIC mining but this also makes the coin less decentralized.
2. Other privacy coins exist - Monero is not the only privacy currency available. Alternatives like Bytecoin or Zcash to name a few can challenge Monero's use and value.
Notes
- Monero decreased mining difficulty and increased profitability in time, due to the improvements made in the way how the coins can be mined.
- This coin can be mined for some time because it doesn't currently support ASIC hardware mining which greatly increases mining difficulty and network congestion.
