Looks like Arweave is adopting #LMDB now? https://github.com/permaweb/HyperBEAM/pull/309/commits/dde0a79d52643fe043b40adfa81e0c7290a446a3
It's amusing to me to see them adopting this code now, since they were the first project to adopt #RandomX. Early to adopt my recent work, late to adopt my early work. Also interesting to see that they use #Erlang - I first tried to develop an erlang wrapper for LMDB years ago to use in #riak, but all of that was abandoned.

Yes, and Tari also supports randomX mining in addition to sha3. The decentralized mining pool https://p2pool.io/mini/ has increased from 15 MH/s to 115 MH/s hashrate in one day. Congratulations @fluffypony

We recently celebrated the 5 year anniversary of the #RandomX ASIC-proof Proof-of-Work algorithm in production. https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1h6e4nk/randomx_5_year_anniversary/
That writeup also includes links to history from the 2yr and 4yr anniversaries, if you aren't familiar with it. "They said it couldn't be done" but "they" were wrong. Bitcoin devs, Eth devs, etc., none of them could achieve this. But we did.
#Monero still the only true crypto currency guaranteeing privacy and egalitarian access for all.
Ain’t nothing wrong with going to the dentist and getting your teeth fixed. Just get the right size #RandomX
I didn't submit a talk to #Fosdem this year but will probably be attending. Ping me if you're interested in chatting about #LDAP, #OpenLDAP, #LMDB, #SymasCorp, #Monero, #RandomX, or whatever else comes to mind. #fosdem2024
After spending a fortune to develop an unprofitable #RandomX miner, Bitmain is running out of money. You're welcome. https://mastodon.social/@web3isgreat@indieweb.social/111212632335059771
So, about 4 years after deployment, we have confirmation that Bitmain, the foremost mining ASIC producer in the world, couldn't produce a #RandomX mining ASIC. As expected, the best they could come up with was slapping a bunch of RISC-V CPUs in a box and calling it a "professional miner" - but notably, not an "asic miner". https://mastodon.social/@hyc/110976439561297760
The Sophon SG2042 they're based on is a big step forward for RISC-V, but still far behind AMD and Intel. All just as we predicted 5 years ago.
The Frontier supercomputer with 9408 AMD Epyc 7A53 64core CPUs at 2GHz can probably hit around 510MH/s on #RandomX (guessing, based on existing benchmarks of 32core Epyc 7452 at 2.35GHz). Its peak power consumption is 40MW but that includes its GPU accelerators, so total CPU-only would be half that or less.
We'll never know for sure because Frontier runs at 90% utilization 24/7 doing scientific number crunching jobs.

Just did an interview with @MoneroTalk
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T9BFnn2-TDM
discussing recent rumors of a new Bitmain "ASIC" for mining #Monero #RandomX
Just did an interview a couple weeks ago about how we designed #Monero 's mining #PoW algorithm #RandomX among other topics. The video went online yesterday: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=abEek1mnchQ
From #FPGA discord, what makes an ideal target for FPGA vs GPU. Notice that it strikes out completely, for #Monero #RandomX.

Today is the 3-year anniversary of the #RandomX Proof of Work algorithm on the #Monero mainnet. A completely CPU-bound PoW that is un-optimizable and infeasible to implement in a single-purpose ASIC.
Skeptics said it was impossible to design such an algorithm, and that an ASIC that outclassed CPUs would appear within 3 months. SChernyk, tevador, and I proved them wrong. 3 years later, no ASICs in sight. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/hashrate-price-xmr.html#3y
