  narf, what sort of scale are we using?

  I have been running a monero node for 5+ years, but in the last several months I haven't been able to get more than 1 incoming connection

  ./monerod --block-sync-size 10 --enable-dns-blocklist --limit-rate 256
• 16:13
  sportscliche
  I have checked and re-checked my port forwarding setup and it looks OK
• 16:15
  sportscliche
  Running v0.18.2
• 16:15
  sportscliche
  v0.18.1.2
• 16:23
  Mochi101
  sportscliche, maybe there're way more other nodes available now than there were before.
• 16:24

  Earlier this year, I would have 50+ incoming connections. Now it is either 0 or 1
• 17:36
  Mochi101
  sportscliche, you have the latest version?
• 17:37
  Mochi101
  If you have an old version you may be helping keep a fork alive. :)
• 17:38
  Mochi101
  oooh... I never seen
• 17:38
  Mochi101
  that you posted your version number

  sportscliche, what block height do you have?

  Is there a chance of earning XMR by mining with a CPU only, or would ASIC miners work better?
• 18:29
  yang2
  also are there mining pools to join ?
• 18:30
  hyc
  ASICs cannot mine XMR
• 18:31
  yang2
  so, the CPU mining is sufficient to be successfull?
• 18:35
  DataHoarder
  sufficient to be successful? what would it look like to not be successful?
• 18:38
  sportscliche
  My current block height 2745726
• 18:39
  sportscliche
  and no incoming connections
• 18:40

  DataHoarder: I am thinking if mining works in the same way as btc, where CPU mining is useless.
• 18:41
  DataHoarder
  it uses RandomX, that is why CPU mining is more efficient than GPU/ASIC
• 18:41
  DataHoarder
  basically a monero ASIC would... implement a good CPU
• 18:41
  DataHoarder
  see github.com/tevador/RandomX/blob/master/doc/design.md

  Is it posssible to cluster the miner nodes together using the same wallet on each ?
• 18:58
  dEBRUYNE
  yang2: Do you mean multiple machines with a CPU?
• 19:09
  yang2
  right
• 19:13
  hyc
  you can point multiple PCs at a single p2pool node
• 19:26
  Mochi101
  send nodes
• 19:57
  yang2
  ok thanks

  another bitcoin mining company on hard times, share price falls 72% after attempt to raise $27M fails londonstockexchange.com/news-articl…trategy-company-ops-update/15693615

  more ASICs being sold to raise cash...
• 23:05
  great_taste
  meaning more centralization?
• 23:06
  NorrinRadd
  well it's the corps that are going bankrupt. likely plebs buying the used asics. so it's probably increased decentralization actually
• 23:07
  NorrinRadd
  an s9 is like $200 and an s19 like $1800 down from $19000.... so you can see how plebs could be incentivized to jump in
• 23:08
  great_taste
  plebs be eating ze bugs...
