02:23:21 <m-relay> <f​ranciscolinan:matrix.org> Hi, is there any discussion about making RandomX more gpu friendly?
02:26:53 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> franciscolinan: , if you can figure out how to make a PoW GPU friendly but not ASIC friendly .....
15:29:19 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> RandomX was for CPU only if GPU or FPGA come again then what's the point of RandomX lol
16:09:31 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> That does remind me though; is there any talk abt how to make RandomX botnet-resistant?
16:10:13 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> The fact that the most cost-efficient cpu (threadripper 3990x) only earns like 70 cents per day is insane
16:10:27 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> botnet are good for monero lol why monero need botnet-resistance lol
16:10:58 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> And top of the line threadripper would earn a little over a dollar per day
16:11:27 <m-relay> <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
16:12:02 <m-relay> <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
16:13:10 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> Plus if Monero becomes botnet dependent it’s going to give people an actual reason to screw over the network
16:13:12 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> Private transactions? Ehh. Climate change. Meh.
16:13:14 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> Ruining grandma’s 2007 Dell laptop to earn half a cent per day? Now that’s not so nice
16:13:19 <sech1> The recent hashrate drop is not necessarily related to those botnets
16:13:23 <nioCat> this discussion is not for this channel
16:13:24 <sech1> correlation != causation
16:13:46 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> Oh crap sry
16:13:51 <m-relay> <p​reland:monero.social> Thought this was main lol
16:14:21 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> yea that's nature and law enforcement doing it's thing
16:14:51 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> monero cannot afford to be botnet-resistance lol
16:15:14 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> we need all the hash rate we can get by any means necessary
16:15:54 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> its vital for cpu privacy coins like monero
16:16:07 <m-relay> <j​effro256:monero.social> 0x1zxq7896lp2zero: plz switch channels
16:16:15 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> sure
16:16:19 <m-relay> <0​x1zxq7896lp2zero:monero.social> 👍️
