XMRig
XMRig appears in 20 analyzed articles across the measured technology press. Recent coverage is steady, counting every mention over recent months. This page shows the public snapshot: movement, coverage mix, recent sources, and what drove the latest change.

Counting every mention, coverage of XMRig is steady — it appears in 20 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What XMRig coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.

How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.
Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
20 articles mention XMRig across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 9 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.

2 posts on company and project channels mention XMRig across the full 15-month record. They come from any company or project channel Compass reads, not only XMRig's own. They are counted separately from the 20 press articles.

Press coverage and company and project posts are two separate counts. Every press figure on this page, including the monthly line and the rising or falling call, comes from the independent press only. Before October 2026, Compass counted these posts as press coverage. How this is measured.
