13:09:58 <\x> hyc: time to have monero running on openwrt? https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/a96382c1bb204698cd43e82193877c10e4b63027
13:10:08 <\x> cpu is A53 with aes
13:10:13 <\x> 2GHz
13:10:23 <\x> 7000 coremarks per core
14:41:27 <hyc> only 2GB RAM, will be a tight fit
14:42:10 <hyc> would need the dataset customization we talked about once before, using only 3/4 of expanded dataset, 1/4 unexpanded
14:42:54 <hyc> or maybe 1/2 and 1/2, leave some RAM for other processing
14:43:19 <hyc> overall, still too slow for practical mining
14:44:12 <hyc> I have 10 AMlogic S912 boxes here with only 2GB RAM each, was using them back in cryptonight days but not useful now with randomX
15:51:23 <pauliouk> my little android tv boxes (A55's 4gb memory) run stable at 100h/s, so half the price of a raspberry pi for the same hashrate
15:52:15 <pauliouk> Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals make me want to buy more - but they are... well... to be fair I'd be better off buying another mobo/mem/cpu in the deals and have a wall mounted setup
15:54:08 <pauliouk> unless you get an AliBaba mass-bulk-buy deal discount on android boxes, then probably best to have a new PC at the end of it all than a few hundred android boxes
15:55:33 <pauliouk> wonder if there's any trimmed down minimal function android phones that go cheap that can mine at around 500-800h/s
16:50:55 <hyc> heat is still a problem for smartphones. can only mine at 50% utilization
16:51:54 <hyc> but yeah at one point I was gearing up to bulk order more android boxes
16:52:43 <hyc> plug a bunch into a 49 port USB hub. even with that overhead, pretty good H/W efficiency
16:53:33 <pauliouk> heats not too much of a problem if you can remove the case from the phone and stick it to something to draw the heat away, LED heatsinks are cheap enough, or even just sticking them to the side of a PC case with fans running keeps them cool enough
16:54:32 <pauliouk> my little boxes draw about 950mA each on full load, took them out of the cases and 3d printed a little rack for them
16:55:59 <pauliouk> was tempted at one point to build a mITX case up to run them all in a confined box with power and network soldered in. but time and effort put an end to that plan
16:58:05 <hyc> yeah I was going to commission a USB-stick formfactor, strip all the unnecessary bits
16:59:26 <hyc> wouldn't need video or network, just use cdc-ether over usb port
17:00:05 <pauliouk> be nice if that existed, could expand it whenever you had the money for more kit
