<kevino:tchncs.de> is is better to run your node through a docker container on a VM of just using linux is fine ?

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> just using linux is fine imo

<squashme:matrix.org> Question for anyone running ASICs here.

<squashme:matrix.org> I've been CPU mining through my own node and want to scale up — got access to free hydro so power isn't the constraint. Looking at the X9 but I'm conscious of the fork discussions and don't want to be contributing to hashrate concentration when the whole point is a decentralised network.

<squashme:matrix.org> Is anyone running 1-3 units at small scale and finding it works? Everything I find online is hardware sellers quoting the same modelled figures, no real operator accounts. Would rather hear from people actually doing it — including if the answer is "don't, stick to CPUs."

that "ASIC" is off-the-shelf CPUs

just not in a good way you can change what code it runs, so, any update without support from provider is likely to not be possible

<squashme:matrix.org> Thank you, that settles it. Sticking with CPUs.

here's some numbers for RandomX V2 as well github.com/tevador/RandomX/blob/master/doc/design_v2.md

<john_xmr:matrix.org> Hey everyone! 👋

<john_xmr:matrix.org> Just launched a street outreach proposal on Reddit to spread Monero & Wownero across France through physical guerrilla marketing.

<john_xmr:matrix.org> The plan: print 2,500 weatherproof vinyl stickers ("Fiat is dead" cyberpunk vibe) and distribute packs to volunteers across major French cities to plaster the streets and promote financial privacy.[... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/lbyq4qYLOFktbXky ]

<absinthium:4d2.org> @john_xmr:matrix.org: wownero is pretty dead, no?

<squashme:matrix.org> Can't we make a new coin that's mineable

This coin is mineable.

<squashme:matrix.org> Yes, wownero seems like a good fork but it's a meme coin that needs shilling, another coin with genuine utility and difference would be great.

<plowsof:matrix.org> lets call it bitmoney? or we could use the esperanto word for money and drop the bit. ill make the bitcoinforum post to announce
