CPU mining remains competitive in today's crypto landscape. Recent data from Epoch 195 demonstrates why the narrative around CPU mining's death doesn't hold up.

The numbers tell the story. Qubic's CPU mining operation is delivering $0.97 per day in returns—outpacing the Monero and Tari combination at $0.75 daily, and solo Monero at $0.73. That's meaningful upside when stacked against traditional alternatives.

What's driving this? An epoch that burned 12.05 billion QUBIC tokens while maintaining 85% top-up sustainability on the network. This isn't theoretical speculation—it's actual economic output proving the model works at scale.

The takeaway: dismissing CPU mining as obsolete misses what's happening beneath the surface. When networks achieve this level of token burn and network stability simultaneously, you're looking at sustainable economics, not hype.

Damn, the data for Qubic really slapped us in the face. $0.97 is so much more than Monero? CPU mining isn't dead, just too many people are bearish. This is the real economic model, not just armchair theorizing. Wait, with a burn rate of 1.205 billion Tokens, how long can this last? I understand the reasoning, but is this a flash in the pan or truly sustainable? CPU miners are indeed coming back. But honestly, 99% of people don't even look at this kind of data, yet some are still busy in WEB3. I just love how this kind of thing, which is often written off as dead, keeps living. Truly amazing.
