Is CPU mining dead in 2026?

CPU mining has narrowed sharply but is not dead. RandomX ASICs are now shipping, home returns are thin at retail power prices, and what survives is smaller networks and motives other than profit. An honest look, including where Malairte itself is exposed.

Understanding mining difficulty and how it changes

A grounded explanation of mining difficulty on the Malairte network and why it goes up and down without anyone setting it manually.

How block rewards reach a Malairte miner and when to expect them

An educational walk through what happens between your miner finding work and MLRT actually arriving in your wallet, including confirmations, payout thresholds, and why the timing varies.

CPU mining vs GPU mining on Malairte: which fits your rig

A clear-eyed comparison of mining Malairte (MLRT) on your processor versus your graphics card, covering output, power draw, noise, and which path makes sense for the hardware you already own.

Solo vs pool mining on Malairte: the actual variance maths

The Poisson maths behind solo mining, written out in full, with a worked example using live Malairte network figures. Includes the percentile spread nobody publishes, and an honest account of why the answer here is unusually favourable and what would change it.

Reading your miner dashboard: shares, hashrate, accepted, rejected

Decode what your Malairte miner is actually telling you in its live output - hashrate, shares, accepted vs rejected, ping, and temperature.

Malairte Mining for Beginners

A grounded introduction to mining Malairte (MLRT) on the CPU or GPU you already have - no ASIC, no specialized hardware.
