Evaluate Ergo GPU mining before you commit
Ergo's Autolykos v2 is memory-hard and designed to keep mining accessible to GPU operators. Whether mining is worth it for you depends on your electricity cost, hardware efficiency, ERG price, network difficulty and pool fees — verify with a current calculator before buying hardware.
GPU miners need a chain where their hardware is competitive long-term. They also need an honest read on whether current conditions actually pay back their power bill.
Autolykos v2 keeps the algorithm GPU-friendly. This playbook walks through the setup and gives you a profitability checklist (live calculators, realistic defaults) so you can decide before committing capital.
Verify your GPU meets minimum requirements (4GB+ VRAM). AMD and NVIDIA cards both work.

How network security and rewards differ between typical Proof-of-Stake staking and Ergo's ASIC-resistant Autolykos GPU mining.

How Ergo's Autolykos PoW keeps mining open to consumer GPUs, limits pool dominance and funds long-term security with block rewards plus storage rent.
