<c​ryptogrampy:monero.social> DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE NEW BITMAIN MONERO ASIC CPU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP MY NURSING HOME BED AT WARM AND COMFY AS AN INTEL CHIP

<c​ryptogrampy:monero.social> ASKING FOR AN 86 YEAR OLD WHO HAS AN EXTRA 3500$ LAYING AROUND AND REALLY ENJOYS LAYING IN A SAUNA WHILE WATCHING MATLOCK ON VHS

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It's about a little less efficient than my CPU

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> so I assume building dedicated servers for the purpose gonna mine a lot more for the same wattage.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> so They don't have a clear advantage yet.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Beside the used space, I guess.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Will see when we get the actual price if it's worth anything.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> But at the end it's possible that it's going to add a little decentralization and won't eat all the hashrate

maybe they can economize on the cooling

<voidsshadows> is mining with 17 kh/s a second worth it

<r​ecanman:agoradesk.com> Yes

depends on your electricity cost and what you define as "worth it" :)

<d​roid192:matrix.org> any comments? twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1695828148997529786

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It's +- on par or slightly less efficient compared to current gen CPUs.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> So nothing to worry.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> They won't eat all the hashrate

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Risc V are CPU, at the end they packaged a bunch of them in a box or something

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> so it will take less space than a generic PC / server based rig

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> but it's about it

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> When we get the price, we should see if it have a price advantage (compared to building the rig yourself)

<e​ndor00:matrix.org> Not just building the rig yourself. After all, a Ryzen rig can be reused for other stuff or resold (which reduces the amount you need to mine to get to ROI). Who knows how (un)usable that thing will be

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Hopefully it can be repurposed, that would be nice.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> I assume, if they did not modify the CPU part of it too much, that it will be possible, depending how locked down they are.

<e​ndor00:matrix.org> It also depends on how much they stripped down their instruction set. If they cut too many corners, those cpus will be technically functional, but practically useless

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> I assume they use quite complete CPU in there.

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> So that way it can cover all CPU based crypto and should survive algo change

They have been mining with them for almost 2 years and now want to sell the same ones that they have been mining on

That is their business model
