Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best CPU for mining Quantum Resistant Ledger?
The best CPU for mining Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is AMD EPYC 7702 with 42,093 H/s on RandomX. Net profit: +$0.42/day (gross income $0.95 minus electricity $0.53 at $0.0784/kWh). 29 CPUs compared. Actual profitability depends on your electricity rate, system downtime, and other overhead costs.
What algorithm does Quantum Resistant Ledger use for mining?
Quantum Resistant Ledger uses the RandomX algorithm — memory-hard proof-of-work algorithm optimized for general-purpose CPUs. Uses 2 GiB dataset in DRAM, benefits from large L3 cache and fast dual-channel memory. Used by Monero (XMR), Zephyr (ZEPH), Salvium (SAL) and other Monero forks.. 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 Quantum Resistant Ledger network parameters?
Quantum Resistant Ledger network difficulty: 3.33 G. Block reward: 1.2955 QRL. Price: $0.70. Data is updated every 15 minutes; profitability in the table is averaged over the last 24 hours (96 snapshots).
