CPU Miner
CPU Miner is a software program for creating virtual cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin and Bitcoin. CPU Miner is open-source software that allows the generation of virtual currency using a computer processor and graphics processor. Most adware manufacturers infest users’ computers by integrating CPU Miner into their own software. In such cases, your computer’s processing power is used by others without you even being aware of it, so to speak, it is run like a slave.
What is CPU Mining?
CPU mining is the name given to the mining done with the central processing unit, that is, the processor as we know it from our computers. In this type of mining, the mathematical equations used for transfers are solved by the CPU. In the early days, it was possible to mine Bitcoin with processors, but over time, the increasing popularity and the increase in the number of miners increased the total transaction speed of the Bitcoin network and the difficulty level of mining increased considerably. Some of the cryptocurrencies that emerged after Bitcoin are still mined by CPU mining.

How Does CPU Mining Work?
The event we call CPU Mining is to get coins as a reward by making the computer do mathematical operations by using the processor of the computer you use for this job.
Processor mining has evolved continuously from day one and then naturally became more difficult. But the result turned out to be an unprofitable business for miners. Investors saw that CPU mining is no longer a profitable business, so they turned to GPU mining.

GPU Mining
GPU mining allows mining with graphics cards. Graphics cards are much more efficient than processors in solving the mathematical problems required for coin mining. The reason for this is that GPUs are much more efficient than CPUs in floating-point calculations, and processors hosted by video cards, are much more efficient than CPUs in floating-point calculations.
