<f​ranciscolinan:matrix.org> Hi, is there any discussion about making RandomX more gpu friendly?

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> franciscolinan: , if you can figure out how to make a PoW GPU friendly but not ASIC friendly .....

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> RandomX was for CPU only if GPU or FPGA come again then what's the point of RandomX lol

<p​reland:monero.social> That does remind me though; is there any talk abt how to make RandomX botnet-resistant?

<p​reland:monero.social> The fact that the most cost-efficient cpu (threadripper 3990x) only earns like 70 cents per day is insane

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> botnet are good for monero lol why monero need botnet-resistance lol

<p​reland:monero.social> And top of the line threadripper would earn a little over a dollar per day

<p​reland:monero.social> Not necessarily; XMR’s hashrate decreased dramatically a bit ago when 3 major hornets were taken down in a sting operation

<p​reland:monero.social> Botnets aren’t decentralized even if the computers that make them up are: a botnet is controlled by a centralized authority

<p​reland:monero.social> Plus if Monero becomes botnet dependent it’s going to give people an actual reason to screw over the network

<p​reland:monero.social> Private transactions? Ehh. Climate change. Meh.

<p​reland:monero.social> Ruining grandma’s 2007 Dell laptop to earn half a cent per day? Now that’s not so nice

The recent hashrate drop is not necessarily related to those botnets

this discussion is not for this channel

correlation != causation

<p​reland:monero.social> Oh crap sry

<p​reland:monero.social> Thought this was main lol

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> yea that's nature and law enforcement doing it's thing

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> monero cannot afford to be botnet-resistance lol

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> we need all the hash rate we can get by any means necessary

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> its vital for cpu privacy coins like monero

<j​effro256:monero.social> 0x1zxq7896lp2zero: plz switch channels

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> sure

<0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> 👍️
