Table/Wownero

Wownero (WOW)

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.
Solo mining only — the protocol disables pool stratum / hash forwarding, so there are no fees and no stale shares. You connect your miner directly to your own daemon and wait for a full block.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best CPU for mining Wownero?

The best CPU for mining Wownero (WOW) is AMD EPYC 7742 with 30,616 H/s on RandomWOW. Net profit: +$6.74/day (gross income $7.28 minus electricity $0.54 at $0.0727/kWh). 17 CPUs compared. Actual profitability depends on your electricity rate, system downtime, and other overhead costs.

What algorithm does Wownero use for mining?

Wownero uses the RandomWOW algorithm — lightweight RandomX variant used by Wownero. Smaller scratchpad (1 MiB vs 2 GiB) and faster verification, but CPU performance differs from standard RandomX — separate benchmarks required.. Block time is 300 seconds. Pool fees are typically 1–2% (we use 0% in our calculations). Stale shares are typically 0.3–1% with good connectivity (we use 0%). Both factors are accounted for in the profitability table above.

What are the current Wownero network parameters?

Wownero network difficulty: 998.54 M. Block reward: 77.5941 WOW. Price: $0.04. Data is updated every 15 minutes; profitability in the table is averaged over the last 24 hours (96 snapshots).
