Epoch 171 marked a turning point for Qubic’s mining architecture and operational model. This week, we delivered significant performance gains that reflect both technical evolution and strategic intent.
- Revenue generated: ~$180,250 from selling 459 XMR, while retaining 14,500 USDT, 22 XMR, and 3.7 billion QUBIC for miner rewards.
- Token burn: A substantial 65.9 billion QUBIC were burned—at an average rate of $2,280 per billion.
- Hashrate surge: The network peaked at 2.3 GH/s, capturing 45% of the global Monero hashrate.
- Blocks mined: Qubic’s compute power contributed to 3,496 Monero blocks.
- Profitability edge: Mining Qubic remains nearly 3× more profitable than mining Monero with equivalent resources.
This Epoch wasn’t just about numbers. Under the hood, system upgrades—like the 64-nonce space expansion—allowed full hashrate potential to be deployed. More miners joined, performance climbed, and network resilience strengthened. Mechanisms are now in place to scale further and adapt dynamically in a growing landscape.
Qubic continues to ramp up—not with hype, but through real, measurable momentum.
