02:44:58 <garth> All these years later, are there still no RandomX ASICs or FPGAs?
02:47:11 <hyc> we're actually only coming up to the 2 year anniversary of mainnet next week
15:16:06 <garth> Yep. And no evidence of ASICs?
15:41:47 <pauliouk> might take a while for ASICs to come about - would need someone with AMD's grade of development to produce something ASIC-esque, and would take a heck of a budget
15:49:16 <gingeropolous> and then they'd have to decide if it makes more sense to mine an obscure digital money or to sell these ASICs to the world as CPUs
15:49:27 <gingeropolous> because clearly at this point they are undercutting amd, intel etc
15:51:48 <pauliouk> most do both... mine for 6 months then sell the kit
15:52:10 <pauliouk> "Devices are tested extensively to ensure stable operation" :D
15:53:23 <gingeropolous> yeah, but if you have tech that unseats amd and intel, u wanna hold onto it and give them more lead time?
15:55:34 <garth> Great point
18:11:42 <Tonux> sech1: regarding your reddit reply for the user asking about effort persistence; maybe we could save the current effort % on a graceful exit?
