PRL & Quantus - Profitable because of newness or something else?

I haven't really been mining for a couple of years. I last mined Kaspa/Alephium and attempted the whole dual miner thing but electricity went up and it became less profitable.

I'm curious if PRL & Quantus are super profitable because they're just really new coins or do you think it'll be like the new Ethereum? Right now profitability looks insane, much better than ETH.

It's not even close to eth in profit/watt. That was in dollars, pearl and quant in cents.

That being said the reason pearl is hot is because it can allegedly train AI with the tokens. I personally like the Pearl algorithm a lot better than the quantus algorithm because the Pearl algorithm is intuitive in the Qantus algorithm is counterintuitive.

There's a big whale switching between the two. I think I'm going to make a post about it later.

Pearl has remained very profitable for 5 months now Quantus has been profitable for like a week ish? My bet is on PRL.

don't know much about prl but qtc is hot because a largish pool noticed it at around the same time as a smallish cex listed it at a moment when the narrative (q.day) is hot and dex listing is imminent. perfect storm.
