Mining & XELIS Hash

XELIS uses proof-of-work with an algorithm intended to be CPU/GPU friendly and ASIC-resistant (see official docs for exact specifications).

Difficulty adjustment uses a Kalman filter to respond to hashrate changes while filtering noisy measurements.

Sustainability note

Mining has energy and hardware implications. When teaching, include operational security (pool choice, malware risks, thermals) and transparent disclosure about dev-fee economics on the official site.
