As of June 2026, the best CPU for mining Verus (VRSC) is AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, earning -$0.28/day net profit on VerusHash after electricity costs ($0.0727/kWh). 2 CPUs compared.

Table/Verus

Verus (VRSC)

Low 24h trading volume — the market may not absorb mined coins at the displayed price. Income is correct on paper but realising it at scale is uncertain.
Hybrid PoW/PoS coin: the CPU hashes 100% of the time but wins only ~50% of blocks — the rest are minted by stakers. Income is reduced to that share, but electricity is the full mining draw (the CPU never idles).

Best CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X — net -$0.28/day

Historical income

Average gross income per 1 kH/s per day, computed from all snapshots in the period. Multiply by your hashrate to estimate your earnings.

Example: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X at 28,000,000 H/s would have earned ~$0.02/day on average over the last 30 days.

Period coverage is partial — fewer snapshots than expected for 30 days; figure may shift as data accumulates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best CPU for mining Verus?

The best CPU for mining Verus (VRSC) is AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with 28,000,000 H/s on VerusHash. Net profit: -$0.28/day (gross income $0.02 minus electricity $0.30 at $0.0727/kWh). 2 CPUs compared. Actual profitability depends on your electricity rate, system downtime, and other overhead costs.

What algorithm does Verus use for mining?

Verus uses the VerusHash algorithm — cPU-friendly proof-of-work algorithm (VerusHash 2.2) used by Verus (VRSC). Built on AES and AVX2 instructions rather than memory hardness, so it is compute-bound and barely uses RAM — unlike RandomX. Mined with hellminer or nheqminer (xmrig and SRBMiner do not support it), so it needs separate benchmarks. Hashrates are measured in MH/s.. Block time is 60 seconds. Pool fees are typically 1–2% (we use 1% in our calculations). Stale shares are typically 0.3–1% with good connectivity (we use 0.5%). Both factors are accounted for in the profitability table above.

What are the current Verus network parameters?

Verus network difficulty: 85.60 T. Block reward: 3.0000 VRSC. Price: $0.44. Data is updated every 15 minutes; profitability in the table is averaged over the last 24 hours (21 snapshots).
