Module 2

Qubic + External Mining (AI / PoC / XMR)

Qubic’s mining framework isn’t locked to its own AI training jobs.

You can switch between mining for Qubic and other networks - keeping your hardware productive even when Qubic rewards decrease.

The most common external options are:

Proof of Concept (PoC) projects - experimental or early-stage networks where miners can test and validate setups before full launch.”

Monero (XMR) — a privacy coin that’s CPU-minable

External Mining Mode

During idle time, miners can use idle time to mine other networks (e.g. XMR)

Switching between Qubic and XMR is automated. The miner automatically switches (previously set around every 676 ticks), so there’s no need to configure this manually.
