is monero looking to change its proof of work algorithm since bitmain release the x5?

<s​trawberry:monero.social> X5 = box of cpus, but yes

<d​ave.jp:matrix.org> Useless to fight cpu’s and give a specific kind of cpu a advantage, but anyways there are other changes due to pow so it can be pushed

<j​effro256:monero.social> binarybaron: what do you mean by expensive ? In what terms ? You need to have a fully scanned wallet to make a reserve proof, and you need the spend key loaded (which means you can't make it from a view only wallet)

<n​vmitsmatrixdotorg:matrix.org> Banhammer mods @roblacks:c-p-b.com

jeffro256: is this still a remaining issue? monero-project/monero #9450#discussion_r1739870169

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> This was merged on stressnet btw

<j​effro256:monero.social> @selsta: not technically if we don't fix the strict aliasing, but yes if we did. But either way, I will push a commit for that in the next hour that is cleaner / doesn't copy if we choose to fix the strict aliasing thing later

<j​effro256:monero.social> Sorry for the delay

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Any clues how to fix the GitHub Windows builds? It used to work, but now it is failing with `error: could not open file mingw-w64-x86_64-protobuf-21.9-1-any.pkg.tar.zst: Unrecognized archive format`

<r​ucknium:monero.social> We are seeing this issue in the stressnet repo

<r​ucknium:monero.social> It sort of looks like the archive that its being downloaded has changed or something.

rucknium: I'll PR a fix after I'm done with some other stuff.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Thanks, t​obtoht_ :)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Tob

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Should we use 21 series or 27

ofrnxmr: anything other than 21 will cause breakage, a proper fix requires cmake changes

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Kk

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 21 is still avail

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Just not 21.9

I'm going to attempt to get latest working, otherwise this hack will break again in a couple weeks

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Nice, thanks 🔥

tobtoht_: I tried to build with the latest version of protobuf but I get a linking error

I assume that's what you mean with CMake changes?

yes
