thinking again about a cluster of cheap cores for a mining ASIC

a bunch of cheap ARM Cortex-A53s still don't have enough on-chip cache to compete with a Ryzen

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

as tightly as a standard multiprocessor chip

they can share read-only access to one chunk of pool RAM

and can each have their own private caches for scratchpad

not having to implement inter-core cache sharing protocols should simplify their work

it would basically be a bunch of single-core CPUs sharing a chip package, as opposed to a multi-core CPU chip

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

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

but only one coin adopted it first

I thought there was gonna be 157 coins

you didnt adopt randomx first tho

you adopted randomwow

tru

all apart from Monero are laughably insecure

tru

I mean, 200 KH/s?

even monero is not exactly immutable at this level

1200 Mh/s is maybe a million CPUs?

BredoLab is by far the largest recorded botnet to date, as it combined the resources of over 30 million computers around the world.

and supercomputers and aws and asymptotically's secret stash of server racks

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

I've heard that profitable isn't necessarily easy to define

I think mining is an easy way to make people realize their computer is messed up (CPU fans spinning all the time)

or the botnet is really stable enough for mining or the hardware is not up to the task

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

tevador: do you know if any AV software adapted randomx-sniffer?

no idea, but anecdotal evidence says probably not

I wonder why they removed Monero from here: crypto51.app

randomx not on nicehash?

the whole thing probably runs on nicehash api it looks like

it is on nicehash AFAIK

nicehash.com/algorithm/randomxmonero 47 MH/s

yea, just got there

jwinterm: you can balance a lot of compute power on the rafters of your garage :D

Monero was removed because we solved 51% attacks

Duh

dash has an issue on there basically saying that

decred more or less as well
