I guess not so great news for GPU miners...

Edit : but good news for Botnets

Lingering concerns

Perhaps a more realistic concern in the mind of Ehrenhofer and others is the proliferation of botnets on the monero network as a result of a
CPU-friendly mining algorithm like RandomX.

This does raise the question : does the end justify the means ?

This has been a topic for years for Monero.  The more ethics neutral / anarchist side of the argument is Botnets secure the network, period.

But I also think there are other aspects that can be considered, such as Monero mining scripts instead of paywalls.

Anyway, it's all a big experiment, yes?

I'm speculating it does not.

I copied this from one reddit post yesterday when someone was calculation how big were transactions last month and compare them with Bitcoins.  Monero transactions take ~ 5.23x more space than Bitcoin transactions    If we take 20% off we get 4.2x    I wonder where is limit. How close to bitcoin will we eventually get.

The thing is Bitcoin has the same sorts of advances on the horizon.  I doubt Monero ever catches up.

What is important is Monero KEEPS up.

In 2017, Monero was one of the best runners. Suppose, this year, it will move faster. I guess Monero can reach 180 dollars for an altcoin at least. It must get its place on the top-10 cryptocurrencies list.

Actually in 2016 Monero was the best runner. If 2019 is new 2015, then 2020 will be Monero 2016 over again.

Well that's quite specific, any reason why?

I don't mind. I'm glad someone cares about the core issues. Ease of integration, reuse and standardisation.

We need plugging into Monero to be easy. For all.


This is the real deal for integration and utilisation.



Thank you Woodser!

When will the monero come back to the top 10?

Looks like it might drop to the bottom ten! Smiley

Yup with this https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/654  Monero will, most likely only the next year, become 25% faster and have 20% cheaper transactions and blockchain size growth. I guess it will also help to move 20-25% more to bottom ten

And/or possibly larger ring size for improved fungibility (with the existing transaction size, or a smaller reduction). How to make use of the improvement in deployment hasn't been decided.

What about the idea of integrating Microsoft's (lol) ZK techniques?  That is a thing too, yes?

Longer term potentially. This new CLSAG is about ready to deploy now, pending code and cryptography audits.

That should be enough for M$ to co-op the tech and bundle in into win 11, no need for ZK.

Monero could be the next Stacker!

Yes - there's a good chance Monero will eventually move to zk snarks, starks, or other.
