CPU/GPU Mining Bitcoin

superman2727 · Apr 28, 2018

I know that Bitcoins can be mined using GPU and CPU of our devices.

But until now, I am still confused on what is the difference of GPU in CPU

and What would be the best choice to use in Mining Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies?

Someone please explain to me what are their differences and what should be my best choice.

Hello,

You can mine cryptocurrencies with your CPU (processor) or GPU (graphic card) depending on your computer hardware. But Bitcoin mining isn't possible with your computer CPU or GPU (I'm not saying you cannot mine bitcoins, but you will not be able to earn more than $1/month due to the bitcoin network hashrate).

There still are some cryptocurrencies which can be mined with a personal computer, especially cryptocurrencies based on the cryptonote algorithm like Monero, Stellite, Sumokoin, Graft etc ...

That's being said even with other cryptos you won't make any money of 1 computers unless you use multiple GPU cards you can probably lose money through due to energy consumption.

Just to add to this point:
They are both processing units but with different capabilities. A CPU is seen as the powerhouse, which is needed to run different processes, such as programmes, and manage the complex tasks.
A GPU has far more cores than a CPU, which allows it to perform thousands more calculations at a time than a CPU can, which is necessary in managing graphics for example.

This is why GPUs have been used in mining.
