ugh. what happens if these other networks switch to randomx? we could find ourselves in a pool hopping nightmare akin to other coins that share PoW with higher mcap coins

i mean, maybe pride will keep them from forking over into general compute, but who knows

<sech1> Regarding RandomX, the only thing I've heard so far were Xilinx U50 FPGAs doing 6.5 kh/s @ 75 watts, a bit worse than a tuned Ryzen rig <<--- any updates to randomx could widen this gap?

yes, make dataset 8+ GB and they won't work at all :D

i know it might be met with resistance from those that wanted randomx to be the last PoW fork, ever. But would be interesting to see options

hah

ok, well that has the downside of just being a stopgap. eventually, FPGA's will get more ram, right?

no need to tweak the algo, they're worse by all metrics

and when Ryzen 5000 come out, the gap will be even bigger

roight roight. they have to compete with the titans

and whenever intel gets their shit together and releases Sparkle Canyon

just saw gnu tools adding support for cortex A-78

aside - cortex A55 was probably their most unfortunate model number

gingeropolous: won't Monero be the highest marketcap RX coin?

it's more about daily emission, not market cap

RVN has much lower market cap, but the same daily emission

What we need is merge mined chains to add to the incentive to mine monero.

lol

Yeah sech1, when can we merge mine Tari and Monero qith xmrig?

Can't they yet ?

I saw some mentions of merge mining that pretty much messed with Tari, so not sure what the current status is

I think they did merge mine some test blocks already, though I dunno if that was with xmrig or monerod.
