Definition: CPU mining


Mining cryptocurrencies using a regular computer. CPU mining cannot be used for Bitcoin; however, Monero, Dogecoin and Bytecoin can be mined with a CPU rather than a GPU or specialized mining machine. Bitcoin, the premier crypto, requires specialized hardware (see ASIC miner). See crypto mining and GPU mining.
