Mining Malairte
Malairte uses the RandomX algorithm — designed to level the playing field by favouring general-purpose CPUs while remaining competitive for GPUs. Anyone with a modern computer can participate.
Your Options
CPU vs GPU Mining
CPU Mining
RecommendedRandomX was designed with CPUs as the primary target. It makes heavy use of CPU cache, branch prediction, and integer operations — areas where modern desktop and server CPUs excel.
- + Low barrier to entry — any modern PC
- + Low power consumption per hash
- + Resistant to ASIC competition
- ~ Lower absolute hashrate than GPU
GPU Mining
Modern GPUs can mine RandomX with respectable performance due to their parallel processing and large VRAM caches. While CPUs have a relative advantage, powerful GPUs remain competitive.
- + Higher absolute hashrate
- + Good for dedicated mining rigs
- ~ Higher power draw
- ~ Less CPU-algorithm advantage

Setup Guide
Getting Started
Install the wallet and sync
Download and install the Malairte Core wallet from the Downloads page. Open it and let it fully sync with the network before mining. This creates your local full node which is required for solo mining.
Download a mining application
For CPU mining, XMRig supports RandomX and works with Malairte after changing the coin/algorithm settings. For GPU mining, SRBMiner and XMRig-CUDA are popular options.
Generate a mining address
In the Malairte wallet, create a new receiving address specifically for mining rewards. This is where your earned MLRT will be sent. Keep your wallet backup phrase secure — it is the only way to recover your coins.
Start mining
Launch your mining application pointed at your local node (solo) or a pool address. You should see accepted shares appearing in the miner output within a few seconds. Monitor your hashrate and temperature.
Strategy
Solo Mining vs Pool Mining
Solo Mining
You mine independently and keep 100% of any block reward you find. Rewards are infrequent but larger. With the current network difficulty, solo mining is only practical for miners with significant hashrate.
- + Full block reward (50 MLRT)
- + No pool fees
- ~ Rewards are infrequent/variable
Pool Mining
Join a mining pool to combine your hashrate with other miners. Rewards are distributed proportionally based on contributed work. More consistent income stream for smaller miners.
- + Consistent, predictable payouts
- + Suitable for any hashrate
- ~ Small pool fee (1–2% typically)
Community mining pools are listed on the Malairte pools repository.
