There are many reasons to mine Verus . One of the main reasons is you can currently merge mine $VRSC $vDEX $CHIPS and $vARRR at the same time with the same energy as mining just VRSC
You can than stake those rewards passively in a full node wallet while you continue to mine more rewards.
You will eventually be able to do this with up to 22 total chains.
There is also the speculative side of mining Verus.
I can’t tell you how many times someone asked why they should mine Verus in the early years when at the time it was not the most profitable to mine…if they understood how promising the protocol was they would have mined thousands of dollars in VRSC as it was one of the few coins that has had a steady rise in value over the years instead of a steady decline from its start like most crypto protocols
Verus is an asset that is good to mine and hold long term. It’s proven that. Also you'll want some sort of fan to put the phone on while it's mining. Don't use your daily driver. Mining causes heat. Phones aren't designed to be at 100% CPU load for long, let alone all terracore cores pinned at 100% all the time. They don' thave a good way to get that heat out.
