03:15:20 <m-relay> <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
03:17:04 <m-relay> <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
03:26:04 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It's about a little less efficient than my CPU
03:26:29 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> so I assume building dedicated servers for the purpose gonna mine a lot more for the same wattage.
03:28:01 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> so They don't have a clear advantage yet.
03:28:01 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Beside the used space, I guess.
03:28:02 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Will see when we get the actual price if it's worth anything.
03:28:02 <m-relay> <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
03:38:23 <louipc> maybe they can economize on the cooling
03:39:45 <hv-bridge> <voidsshadows> is mining with 17 kh/s a second worth it
03:39:54 <m-relay> <r​ecanman:agoradesk.com> Yes
06:32:27 <geonic> depends on your electricity cost and what you define as "worth it" :)
15:36:48 <m-relay> <d​roid192:matrix.org> any comments? https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1695828148997529786
15:39:23 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It's +- on par or slightly less efficient compared to current gen CPUs.
15:39:23 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> So nothing to worry.
15:39:24 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> They won't eat all the hashrate
15:39:41 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Risc V are CPU, at the end they packaged a bunch of them in a box or something
15:39:56 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> so it will take less space than a generic PC / server based rig
15:40:00 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> but it's about it
15:41:57 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> When we get the price, we should see if it have a price advantage (compared to building the rig yourself)
15:45:35 <m-relay> <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
15:47:25 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Hopefully it can be repurposed, that would be nice.
15:47:25 <m-relay> <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.
15:49:15 <m-relay> <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
16:00:19 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> I assume they use quite complete CPU in there.
16:00:19 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> So that way it can cover all CPU based crypto and should survive algo change
16:08:57 <nioc> They have been mining with them for almost 2 years and now want to sell the same ones that they have been mining on
16:09:25 <nioc> That is their business model
17:18:59 <m-relay> <1​23bob123:matrix.org> Rude called it a token
