sech1GPU mining soon!
-
sech1the guy is a miner dev, but he said same things about randomx all the way back in 2019
-
sech1screenshot in case he deletes or edits the post: p2pool.io/u/51dcc52d1bb8841d/sp.png
-
gingeropolous[m]sp. that guy
-
gingeropolous[m]still profiting off of open source stuff
-
gingeropolous[m]he still selling kernels or whatever?
-
sech1"Team Black Miner" now. He's capable, but his randomx claims need some proofs or at least justification.
-
hycfaster randomx on GPU? sure
-
hycmaybe on an RDNA2 GPU or something
-
sech1A bit faster than the reference implementation? Definitely possible. Faster/more efficient than a CPU? Not likely.
-
sech1He's specializing on NVIDIA GPUs.
-
hycyeah, not gonna happen
-
sech1"soon to be released"
-
sech1let's wait
-
ooo123ooo1234[m]<sech1> ""Team Black Miner" now. He's..." <- any link with numbers to read about capabilities ?

sech1just on the first page I found "Working well. Miner reported hashrate = 401.6MH/s vs 396.4MH/s for trex."
-
sech1and his old thread bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.0
-
ooo123ooo1234[m]ok; I've only found this stat about used mining software: hiveon.com/statistics; and it has only 0.15% share
-
hycrandom thought about 51% attacks: carrying out the attack requires mining an alternate chain in secret, and then suddenly publishing it to the main network
-
hycif this sort of thing was going on, you'd expect to see sudden massive fluctuations in hashrate
-
hycthe fact that a lot of botnets are mining to one pool implies that they aren't being used for a 51% attack
-
hycin terms of attack risk they're really the least of our worries
-
meropeThat depends though: it only works if you assume a 51% attack using pre-existing miners
-
meropeBut an attacker with "fresh" hashrate would be completely undetectable until they publish their alternate chain
-
hycgood point
-
hycanyway I was only considering the threat of lots of hashrate at a few mining pools
-
sech1It's possible to detect mining pool executing a 51% attack
-
sech1just check previous block hash in each pool job - if it's from an unknown block, it's suspicious
-
hycoh, yeah makes sense

hycASIC industry falling on hard times twitter.com/_amanda_fab/status/1529556426716233731

hycASIC mining, specifically

hycsuch a shame, <sniff>
