03:06:32 has anyone done a study on monero block propagation? basically, im curious if a subnetwork of solo mining daemons could get an edge over large pools somehow 03:06:57 basically, by allowing other solo daemons to get the new block faster, they have a greater chance of having the longer chain etc 03:07:24 of course, if this is just a maintained list, then a pool op could just connect directly to one of these nodes , or all, and nullify the potential advantage 03:09:14 though with fluffly blocks, and i know i typed that wrong but im not going back, news of a new block is really independent of blocksize and any potential advantage of being directly linked to a blockfinder may not be really anything 04:27:45 Sure. Large pools probally do that already. ;) Waiting for block propgation can be surprisingly lethal. When the XMR network was much smaller, that's why I ran the dedicated chain of daemons chosen at major POP's to help reduce latency across the network in general, because block transmission is slow. 04:32:44 The main issue you'll run into is that the larger network is going to get away from you if you don't put your blocks out there in a reasonable time. Functionally, you're proposing a small fork in the network by the solo-pools. 05:42:55 https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/clocktuner-for-ryzen-(ctr-by-1usmus).html 05:48:48 gingeropolous: so kind of like that bitcoin mining pool network thing? 05:49:10 sech1: tried it? 05:49:22 windows only I presume? 05:49:23 It's not out yet 05:49:29 LTT did a video yesterday 05:49:29 ah right september 10:24:41 .price pkr
