06:50:53 ASICs don't have botnets they said... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5342640.0 07:07:31 lol how can that even happen 07:08:54 well they do have ARM CPU with Linux onboard 17:28:17 Any suggestions for getmonero mining page? https://deploy-preview-1656--barolo-time-757cf9.netlify.app/get-started/mining/ 17:28:48 corresponding PR: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/1656 17:56:02 "which means it's impossible to build specialized hardware to mine Monero" 17:56:05 not impossible 18:07:23 "This PoW algorithm is ASIC resistant, which means specialized hardware has less of an advantage at mining Monero. Miners can use consumer-grade hardware and compete fairly" 18:07:25 better ? 18:11:28 sounds good 18:11:35 better, but it's hard to explain all nuances in a single sentence 18:12:04 This better. Us use it. 18:12:18 That's already two sentences :/ 18:12:46 lol 18:13:09 I was thinking "less benefit" but less advantage is good enough 18:14:07 Maybe "playing on the strengths of modern CPU architectures mean it is much harder for specialized hardware to get an edge". 18:14:08 at this point in time, ASIC advantage <= 0 18:15:16 ^ the above is a teeny tiny bit better than "This better. Us use it." 18:28:46 ok posted the chat log to the PR 19:20:59 One of Monero's philosophies is to maintain egalitarian mining, so that everyone can have the possibility to mine. 19:21:06 possibility should be opportunity imo 19:40:03 thumbs up for opportunity 19:41:00 updated 19:46:58 And Curiosity. 20:02:34 monero on mars 20:03:44 jtgrassie, thanks for entertaining my twitter ramblings. sorry if i was being stupid. but i feel these things need discussing. 20:24:34 oh all in good spirit 20:25:27 and agreed discussion valuable
