07:41:35 <binaryFate> flirting with 1.5GH/s again
07:46:52 <binaryFate> going down now, seems to have been a very sporadic spike
07:50:26 <sech1> This guy is still ramping up: https://xmr.nanopool.org/account/42fVwusSRCpaJvQhLZWCs66Ekf5NUiqfdjhqFR5w4KdgTJkymxrRV4CRb2KkDdwofLVvWMJ6trXSFShN7CA9q7gYU2aChVM
08:09:24 <UkoeHB_> that one guy has 35k workers? impressive
08:20:05 <sech1> 35k "workers"
08:32:54 <asymptotically> totally legitimate salaried employees!
09:25:22 <SerHack> Marx approves 👍  /s
14:58:25 <kinghat[m]> not sure if relevant: https://www.techradar.com/amp/news/intel-and-amd-shouldnt-panic-yet-but-this-chinese-vendor-has-repacked-a-xeon-cpu
18:23:56 <hyc> I don't see any special relevance. it's a server CPU aimed at Chinese data centers, built in partnership with Intel
18:24:12 <hyc> so what?
18:48:41 <kinghat[m]> is it common for the large chip guys to partner on custom chips like in this situation?
18:51:47 <hyc> I don't think the current global situation is common. US/China trade war has prompted a lot of different approaches
20:09:01 <gingeropolous> total miners 40667
20:38:04 <sech1> Damn, he doesn't want to stop: https://xmr.nanopool.org/account/42fVwusSRCpaJvQhLZWCs66Ekf5NUiqfdjhqFR5w4KdgTJkymxrRV4CRb2KkDdwofLVvWMJ6trXSFShN7CA9q7gYU2aChVM
20:38:08 <sech1> 51 MH/s
20:38:14 <sech1> 40k workers
20:40:38 <hyc> mebbe he really is secretly commandeering office computers in many businesses ;)
20:42:06 <UkoeHB_> the slope is so steady it's bizarre
20:43:06 <sech1> it's almost if someone is setting up cloud compute VMs one by one
20:43:16 <sech1> using some automated script
20:45:12 <sech1> This is probably the largest miner on the network now
20:53:45 <hyc> and still no oddities in nonce patterns? this is still a bunch of standard CPUs?
20:54:49 <hyc> no growth over the weekend
20:56:25 <hyc> interesting that he's actually assigning unique worker IDs
20:56:43 <hyc> I didn't even bother to do that when I had 4 miners going to one pool
21:02:09 <sech1> I don't see anything new in nonce patterns
21:07:18 <sech1> https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/gr3sxr/number_of_miners_on_supportxmr/ "An aside and I will make a post on it later, reading through the randomx audit it seems the randomx team may have had a custom chip design from the start"
21:07:23 <sech1> where's my asic hyc?
21:07:37 <hyc> lol
21:09:52 <hyc> good reply https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/gr3sxr/number_of_miners_on_supportxmr/frwn07a/
21:13:12 <hyc> I bet a recent model iPhone would beat 2KH/s
21:14:05 <hyc> I would also say RandomX is one of the few algos I would trust for cross-architecture benchmark comparisons
21:14:18 <hyc> H/s on ARM == H/s on x86
21:15:30 <hyc> (e.g., pretty sure Geekbench numbers on ARM are not comparable to x86)
