11:31:17 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> I'd be glad to have a machine up and running for the context.  Ugh, the 3700x is currently in the login node, which is the most locked down of the boxes. I could move processors around.. or pickup something on ebay. I have some celeron CPUs from the early GPU mining craze (forget the generation), and also an i5 from around the same time. I can look into what the intel chips are. I<clipped me
11:31:18 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social>  guess my question is what CPU are you looking for, and I'll see what I can do. We could also overcomplicate this and bench on ranges of hardware.
11:36:06 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> i have a pine64 somewhere, and some version of an rpi
12:27:19 <m-relay> <a​remor:matrix.org> Maybe lean towards consumer grade that RandomX prefers; Ryzen something
12:27:34 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Team Red 100%
19:24:15 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> someday intel will make a good cpu again..... right?
19:26:21 <NorrinRadd> some day 
19:31:09 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> ok, potential intel options are i3-8100 , and celeron G1840
19:32:03 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Intel deserve to die
19:40:15 <m-relay> <s​gp_:monero.social> i3-8100 is a bit old, definitely on the "lower end" of cpus at this point
19:43:31 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> i'd be fine buying a sub 100$ AMD cpu for this, and if we're sticking with AMD, then its a question between zen 2 and zen 3, because I don't have any AM5 boards yet. Or i could be funded to go buy right off the shelf of my local retail store the best computer that 500$ can buy, or whatever they have for sale for $500
19:45:12 <m-relay> <s​gp_:monero.social> How do these benchmarks need to be run? I have a i5-12600KF and i7-12700K that I can offer. Or if I can't help with these I'll be quiet :)
19:45:35 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> these two seems well suited imo
19:45:37 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> well a quick shopping suggests that the 5600G is what u may find in a ~500$ retail box
19:45:57 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> 5600G is good too
19:46:29 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> I imagine someone would need to remote in and be able to control the overal environment. I mean, i have a higher end intel in my laptop and my gaming PC, but those aren't accessible via the computing cluster
19:49:32 <m-relay> <g​ingeropolous:monero.social> but to this point, these are details that should also be worked out. what operating system etc.
19:55:40 <NorrinRadd> some descendent of debian 
19:57:12 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> NOT UBUNTU
19:57:49 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> debian or arcg
19:57:57 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> debian or arch linux
21:40:37 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> I found this article posted a few months ago by TRM Labs, a blockchain surveillance firm: https://www.trmlabs.com/post/the-rise-of-monero-traceability-challenges-and-research-review
21:40:43 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> > Despite facing challenges such as exchange delistings and network attacks, Monero continues to thrive due to its strong community and continuous improvements. While some traceability remains possible under specific conditions, Monero’s privacy features make it one of the most secure and anonymous cryptocurrencies available today.
21:41:04 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> > [The March 2024 flooding attack] shocked the Monero community and triggered even more focus on improving the network. The Monero Research Lab is actively working on new methods to prevent similar attacks and enhance the coin’s privacy features. Monero’s community is known for being proactive in identifying and fixing weaknesses, which helps maintain the integrity and security of the network
22:09:47 <m-relay> <c​haser:monero.social> that's very flattering :) BTW, TRM guys, can also just tell us here, we know you are both in this chat and Lounge
22:20:13 <m-relay> <c​haser:monero.social> Rucknium, in their paper (linked in the article) they use your terminology a lot, but for all the work you put out, the only citation they give you is for a Reddit post :)
22:22:41 <m-relay> <b​asses:matrix.org> average chain analysis firm, trying to act like they are the "good guys".
22:24:17 <m-relay> <a​ntilt:we2.ee> :)
22:48:02 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> chaser: That's why we need to revive the MRL Research Bulletin series and get DOIs assigned. So we can be cited properly 😁
