About MiningFAQ
Mining knowledge, sourced and shown.
Practical mining knowledge with sources, visible assumptions, and editorial standards you can check.
Our purpose
Clarity for every mining decision.
Proof-of-work mining mixes hardware, electricity, markets, and operations. Much of what is written about it is promotional or missing the assumptions behind its numbers.
MiningFAQ is a practical reference: we explain how mining works, compare hardware with sourced figures, and build tools that show their working, so you can make your own decisions.

Editorial standards
Evidence before hype.
Every guide, comparison, and estimate follows the same principles.
Beginner friendly
Guides start from first principles and explain terms as they appear.
Sources included
Specifications, coin details, and news link to their sources, with the date observed.
Assumptions visible
Estimates show their units, inputs, and limitations, so you can see why a number came out as it did.
How we publish
From source to page.
A clear process keeps the sources, assumptions, and history visible.
Research
Technical claims are checked against primary sources such as manufacturer specifications and official project pages.
Validate
Every article passes a strict content schema before publishing: titles, dates, topics, and source links must be valid.
Review
Editors review technical claims and source quality. Content lives in version control, so every change has a history.
