Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best CPU for mining Tari?
The best CPU for mining Tari (XTM) is AMD EPYC 7B12 with 44,321 H/s on RandomX. Net profit: +$1.07/day (gross income $1.69 minus electricity $0.62 at $0.0784/kWh). 29 CPUs compared. Actual profitability depends on your electricity rate, system downtime, and other overhead costs.
What algorithm does Tari use for mining?
Tari 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 480 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 Tari network parameters?
Tari network difficulty: 45.09 G. Block reward: 10263.3535 XTM. Price: $0.00. Data is updated every 15 minutes; profitability in the table is averaged over the last 24 hours (96 snapshots).
