Sounds like it would be interesting to have a discussion with Peter Todd on RX and on dynamic block size

Miners 90145, minexmr 30.5%

more than double the pre-RX #miners

pre-RX was hovering around 40000

after the fork it dropped to 30000 and has been climbing up ever since

yep. seems like quite an essential step in strengthening the network

btw top 2 pools can't do 51% anymore with these numbers

we need 3 pools to collude now

yay

or 2 chip manufacturers :P

Not just one ?

No, 3. A, M, and D.

I guess none of the alternatives are any good.

isn't ARM just some cache away from competitive chips?

yes. but not sure it's in their design philosophy to ever do that

certainly hasn't been so far
