hyc
thinking again about a cluster of cheap cores for a mining ASIC
-
hyc
a bunch of cheap ARM Cortex-A53s still don't have enough on-chip cache to compete with a Ryzen
-
hyc
that would be where to focus and innovate. putting a bunch of cores onto a chip, that don't need to coordinate with each other
-
hyc
as tightly as a standard multiprocessor chip
-
hyc
they can share read-only access to one chunk of pool RAM
-
hyc
and can each have their own private caches for scratchpad
-
hyc
not having to implement inter-core cache sharing protocols should simplify their work
-
hyc
it would basically be a bunch of single-core CPUs sharing a chip package, as opposed to a multi-core CPU chip
-
hyc
they could have a few shared memory ports for command/control, to start/stop computation, pass params. wouldn't need much else.

<[discord] Kayla#5718>: and a shared nvme for pxeboot UwU
-
tevador
hyc: that would most likely require an ARM architectural license, which is currently held only by Applied Micro, Broadcom, Cavium, Huawei, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Samsung and Apple

didn't realize there were that many coins that had adopted rx
-
jwinterm
but only one coin adopted it first
-
jwinterm
I thought there was gonna be 157 coins
-
needbrrrrrrr90
you didnt adopt randomx first tho
-
needbrrrrrrr90
you adopted randomwow
-
jwinterm
tru

tevador
all apart from Monero are laughably insecure
-
jwinterm
tru
-
tevador
I mean, 200 KH/s?
-
jwinterm
even monero is not exactly immutable at this level
-
jwinterm
1200 Mh/s is maybe a million CPUs?
-
jwinterm
BredoLab is by far the largest recorded botnet to date, as it combined the resources of over 30 million computers around the world.
-
jwinterm
and supercomputers and aws and asymptotically's secret stash of server racks
-
tevador
30M computer botnet sounds powerful on paper, but why aren't they mining monero then? are there more profitable things to do? I doubt it
-
jwinterm
I've heard that profitable isn't necessarily easy to define
-
jwinterm
I think mining is an easy way to make people realize their computer is messed up (CPU fans spinning all the time)
-
tevador
or the botnet is really stable enough for mining or the hardware is not up to the task
-
jwinterm
so maybe would be more profitable for a week, but longer term if you decimate your botnet you can't do other botnet stuff like ddos or whatever
-
selsta
tevador: do you know if any AV software adapted randomx-sniffer?
-
tevador
no idea, but anecdotal evidence says probably not
-
tevador
I wonder why they removed Monero from here:
crypto51.app
-
jwinterm
randomx not on nicehash?
-
jwinterm
the whole thing probably runs on nicehash api it looks like
-
tevador
it is on nicehash AFAIK
-
tevador
-
jwinterm
yea, just got there
-
asymptotically
jwinterm: you can balance a lot of compute power on the rafters of your garage :D
-
jwinterm
-
needbrrrrrrr90
Monero was removed because we solved 51% attacks
-
needbrrrrrrr90
Duh
-
jwinterm
dash has an issue on there basically saying that
-
jwinterm
decred more or less as well
