RandomX + P2Pool = truly decentralized mining
Monero's RandomX is optimized for CPUs — no ASICs, no GPU farms. P2Pool handles 15%+ of hashrate, decentralized, no pool operator to censor. Every CPU contributes.
This is what Satoshi envisioned: one-CPU-one-vote. Combined with privacy-by-default, Monero is the closest thing to the original Bitcoin whitepaper vision.

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.
@MoneroTalk @Tari @fluffypony
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.
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.
