kindly link to this on #monero-pow I think the time has shown us now - that ASIC manufacturers build, deploy and sell devices addressing randomX mining. Monero dev’s should NOW flip some switches to make exactly this devices as useless as they can get for mining randomX. 18:17 sech1 and an instruction I picked, it's not even a finalized draft in risc-v, lol 18:18 sech1 *it's not ratified yet 18:19 sech1 and considering that they physically created their ASICs in 2021... It's 10000% not there It could also be a temporary time-limited function or only active till a certain block-number to not affect future developments. You could introduce short-term asic-mitigation switch handles. ASIC manufacturers increased the difficulty for individuals for a long time now. Please, make their devices as useless as possible for mining Monero now, so they will earn less money from selling their burned silicon to good people. They will also gain a bad reputation because they will NOT get the advertised Hashrate or burn much more energy or so. hyc, you should get one or two of it and get useful findings, like whats the specific devices timings and exact those timings:frames, as they only exist in these devices, unuseable. Let them earn unsatisfied users - let us earn more, those who keep believing in one-CPU-one-vote. El sponge?
