18:10:34 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> so i don't know if this is the right time or place to post, but i figured we are soon to get randomx v2 into the code, then perhaps it is.
18:11:38 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> for monerosim, it turns out that you can't run randomx inside the shadow environment. a hacky solution was made that doesn't require modifying monero (as that was one of my design principles when unleashing the llms on my project), but the hack is limited.
18:12:46 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> in parallel, i wanted to see if i could get monerod to more accurately simulate mining in the shadow environment. This required modifying monero (by the bots, yes) to create mining hooks. The code created is here: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/compare/master...Fountain5405:monero-shadow:mininghook
18:13:55 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> basically, with the hooks, we can simulate things like PoWER (the proof of work for tx relay), selfish-mining mitigations... basically anything that uses PoW
18:16:57 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> im hesitant to actually create a PR for it for obvi reasons.
