16:47 hyc it would be fun to see their 2+ years of effort poof
16:47 sech1 and they don’t have superior efficiency
16:47 hyc but anything we did like that would only have a temporary effect> from https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-pow/20230827
@hyc : As you can see in my other two posts here, i’d really like a “temporary effect” make this specialized devices less worth for one or two years from now. The ASIC-manufacturer will feel and deserve the backlash. Make it poof.
They’re CPUs. They can just roll out a firmware update and be up and running again.
Dude, they’re mining just like you. What is the big deal?
People view centralization of mining power as a threat.
I get that. What I don’t get is how these would help centralize power given they mine at the same efficiency (at best) as everything else.
Well, about 22 of my CPUs would run 1320 watts and give me 127kh/s. They must be using threadrippers or similar to get 212kh/s.
