However, there is another kind of mining that is available to almost every owner of computing equipment connected to the Internet - CPU mining. There are cryptocurrencies, the mining of which is specially optimized for processors, which is done to achieve the highest degree of network decentralization and to provide as wide access to cryptocurrencies as possible. Tera Coin is this crypto. The algorithm of Tera is unique as the CPU-capacities with a bias on the use of RAM are used. Tera coin is actively traded on Hotbit, for instance.
