What Is GPU Mining?

GPU Mining is the process of using specialized hardware to mine proof-of-work cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Individuals who perform these computationally intensive tasks are awarded crypto rewards, called block rewards.

Mining rigs must be equipped with power and Internet connectivity to operate. Additionally, cybersecurity must be a priority to mitigate risks such as malware and viruses that compromise a GPU mining rig’s security and jeopardize stored data.
