13:57:36 <gingeropolous> total miners 39106
14:12:58 <hyc> yeah I would expect botnet growth to be exponential
14:13:22 <hyc> steady ramp like that just looks like someone routinely spinning up new machines
14:20:23 <gingeropolous> how long before antivirus companies start watching monero network for indication of new botnet infections
14:21:33 <gingeropolous> this self signing thing is quite attractive. i guess though a bot could phone home to get the necessary data?
14:22:18 <hyc> yes. there's no reason a large number of miners couldn't all use the same signing key
15:43:31 <xmrpow> Has anybody of you tested some of the hardkernel socs for randomx mining? On monerobenchmarks.info aren t a lot of benchmarks...
16:32:20 <sech1> gingeropolous even with self-signing, each bot could use unique private key and send it with block solving nonce
