11:34:23 <hyc> is it worth trying to add some optimizations from e.g. xmrig into monerod's miner?
11:34:55 <hyc> I get the feeling the mutex overhead will already kill it so maybe not
11:36:05 <hv-bridge> <\x> itll be nice
11:39:12 <moneromooo> Definitely worth it for changes that don't take much time to port.
11:39:48 <moneromooo> I assume there's big bang/buck ones and medium/small bang/buck ones.
12:39:41 <gingeropolous> i think its worth it. Currently solo miners using the daemon are at a disadvantage compared to running a 3rd party miner against their daemon. would be nice if they were the same
12:45:32 <sech1> Huge pages + MSR should reduce the difference to a few %
12:46:00 <sech1> xmrig has randomx_boost.sh to apply MSR mod separately
12:52:40 <sech1> randomx-benchmark + huge pages + MSR mod = 8220 h/s, xmrig = 8750 h/s, hmm... I though the difference would be smaller
12:53:47 <hv-bridge> <\x> sech1: tried emailing hwbot again?
12:54:00 <hv-bridge> <\x> xmrig randomx benchmarks on hwbot plez
17:46:56 <hyc> not sure how I feel about writing MSRs inside monerod
17:49:18 <moneromooo> It could be made a non default option if it's got potential dangers.
17:51:55 <sech1> it can slow down other parts of monerod
17:52:01 <sech1> it's better to keep it separate
18:00:39 <hyc> in that case there doesn't seem to be much to do on this front, in monerod itself
18:15:00 <gingeropolous> total miners 85000
18:15:06 <gingeropolous> minexmr.com 32.6
21:08:19 <hv-bridge> <\x> make the msr thing opt-in
21:08:57 <hv-bridge> <\x> the tweak affects some things, makes other programs slower
21:42:22 <NickvanSaberhagn> Does adding msr increase the attack surface for an adversary?
21:48:58 <sech1> msr only works with root privileges so yes
