Yes, it is RandomX algo.
What's the profitability? Which Ryzen are you using to mine? I have a PC with 3600x, wondering if I can use it for something else other than gaming but I doubt it will give me anything meaningful for mining.
Melanin Solar a startup is developing a use case for CPU mining using solar energy with a distributed smart box based on raspberry pi technology.
What does this actually mean? Does it help CPU mining become more efficient? You need to do more than this if you want to shill this project. I can't even find a website for this.
You could run it to mine Monero it depends if you gaming cpu intensive games or not, dedicate half the cores for mining.
I have a HTPC with a 200GE which is running 24/7 and use the cpu for mining monero (total abt. 41W at wall) while mining) as it is only used to view Netflix, PrimeVideo, YT and viewing movies etc from my NAS box killing 2 birds with one stone

Running it like this I don't feel power costs too much.
