tromp: you've got a lot of gall spewing lies about the Monero PoW changes

nobody ever claimed any of the CryptoNight tweaks were expected to last for years

it was always stated that they were interim tweaks to knock out existing ASICs, only.

to buy time for a long term solution to be developed. which was done.

and it's also clearly stated in the RandomX design doc that verification speed was aimed at being the same as CN verification speed.

which was also done.

and none of this was unknown to you - you've been present here the entire time, witness to all the discussions as they occurred.

the theme of your message - "everything's a trade-off" may be accurate. but you could have made your point without such blatant lies.

RandomX verification is even a bit faster than CryptoNight, even in the slow mode. And much faster in full dataset mode.
