Miners 36916

total miners 37598

wtf is going on

gingeropolous: where do you get that number from? miningpoolstats.stream?

miners 37607

maybe those HTC phones coming online?

Or people sitting at home and setting up rigs?

Or people who lost their jobs due to all the shit going in the world and trying to earn anything with what they have?

I see a lot of newbie posts in r/moneromining

is the hashrate also rising?

it did go up a bit

You must be looking at another chain. It's at 1.26 now, and it's been between 1.15 and 1.3 for like a month or two.

It was at 1.15, now at 1.25

it went up in the last couple of days which coincided with miner count going up

just check out recent posts in r/moneromining

there are really a lot of new people there

I just had a random DM on twitter asking about mining or buying

the guy said specifically he's worried about his current stock investments and wants to transfer some into monero

why is multi-algo bad?

insecure

is it possible to require the same block to be mined by multiple algorithms?

would this make it secure?

don't think that would hurt security, but it would hurt verification speed

agreed. would it help security?

also, any other algorithm you can think of is already ASIC-optimized
