15:57:22 i'm a bit out of the loop with the whole thing, but wasn't RandomX supposed to be a last effort to have a ASIC resistant PoW? i think i recall people saying things among the lines of "if this does not work, we'll probably just embrace asic mining, we can't/shouldn't play cat and mouse forever" back when RandomX was introduced, has this sentiment changed since? 15:59:33 My understanding that bitminer has not released any asic. It is just a set of risc cpus. The main benefit is that everything is packed so there is less to manage but it's not an asic 16:00:51 oh, how can bitmain outcompete AMD, intel, Qualcomm and other CPU manufacturers? 16:02:17 It cannot indeed 16:02:53 Some more clues here: 16:02:53 https://youtube.com/watch?v=T9BFnn2-TDM&si=ktSlAU1Pmh1VnSVJ 16:06:31 thanks, will take a look 16:07:03 seems there is a price 16:07:04 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/FlJQgCBTVIiywQrSQmGnWZns 17:03:16 That is an unofficial 3rd party listing, the screenshot has been around for a few days 17:11:19 my bad
