02:18:48 <hyc> bad news in AMD land https://twitter.com/sickcodes/status/1458944880550432768
13:57:44 <Inge> anyone heard of Raptoreum and their ASIC/FPGA resistant alogirhtm GhostRider?
14:05:11 <Inge> Hm sounds like it used to be a fork of RVN but now is a fork of ... DASH. 
14:07:20 <Inge> Looks like X16r + several outdated CN algorithms. oh joy
14:14:11 <hv-bridge> <sech1> https://github.com/Raptor3um/raptoreum/blob/master/src/hash_selection.h#L46
14:14:24 <Inge> "GhostRider uses the x16r randomizer combined with CNv1-8" 
14:14:35 <hv-bridge> <sech1> All CN variants are just CNv1 with different scratchpad size and iterations
14:15:19 <hv-bridge> <sech1> but it's all in random order. 15 algorithms + 3 CNv1 variants
14:15:45 <gingeropolous> wow, just wow
14:16:38 <hv-bridge> <sech1> They have 50k miners already: https://miningpoolstats.stream/raptoreum
14:17:03 <hv-bridge> <sech1> Very high emission rate, $120k/day
14:17:10 <hv-bridge> <sech1> almost as high as Monero (in $ terms)
14:17:22 <gingeropolous> GPU miners need something to do
14:18:12 <hv-bridge> <sech1> CPU only so far
14:18:41 <Inge> yeah I saw it because it made mainstream-ish news in Norway 
14:18:46 <Inge> never heard about it before
14:19:01 <hv-bridge> <sech1> xmrig support maybe (just maybe) coming soon
14:19:08 <hv-bridge> <sech1> if I'm not too lazy
14:23:03 <gingeropolous> how the hell do they get mainstreamish news
14:23:29 <gingeropolous> prolly by dumping more into PR than actually developing a resistant pow
14:25:39 <hv-bridge> <sech1> Apparently everyone is buying up Ryzens to mine Raptoreum
14:27:12 <gingeropolous[m]> according to the "news"
14:28:54 <hv-bridge> <sech1> Funny thing their bitcointalk thread was started in 2018
14:29:02 <hv-bridge> <sech1> they were in "testnet" the whole time
14:56:20 <gingeropolous> well, in the good news column there's only like 300 Mh/s available for randomx on nicehash https://www.nicehash.com/my/marketplace/RANDOMXMONERO
15:02:08 <jaska087> I wonder if nicehash will support raptoreum
15:02:21 <jaska087> that will probably take some power off from monero
15:05:22 <gingeropolous> until a gpu miner is made
15:20:29 <hv-bridge> <sech1> Ryzen 3000 are more efficient on Cryptonight than GPUs
15:20:45 <hv-bridge> <sech1> Less known fact because nobody cared about Cryptonight when Zen2 released
15:40:59 <pauliouk> yeah I read an article about Ryzens being bought up for Raptoreum - I'd only buy them for Monero :P
16:41:28 <hyc> it's idiotic, but it would also suck away capacity for monero botnets 
20:36:04 <Inge> there is also Arweave and Haven
