Recent Notes

And it's clearly working as the Monero network has a higher hashrate and is therefore more secure today than it was in 2022 when the tail emission kicked in.

What ASICS have going for them is space savings. It takes a lot less space to put several ASIC chips on a board than to have multiple separate computers.

I wouldn't be trying to use it to make money. I would be using it primarily as a space heater and, secondarily, as a miner to offset some of the electricity bill.

Yeah, fair point. That would be one awfully pricey miner, that's for sure.

The idea to buy a Bitcoin ASIC and then just swap it for Monero has crossed my mind. The canaan s3 looks like a space heater and pulls 800 watts at the wall. But it's Bitcoin.

This was what was always going to happen with traceable currencies. There would always be a market for clean UTXOs and it would have a premium associated with it because one surveillance coin is not equal to one surveillance coin.

I need a #Monero miner that pulls 700w at the wall. Its a pretty cold night and #HomeAssistant has had my space heater running near constantly tonight. Instead of just burning all that power, I could be earning some Monero with it if I had a miner like that.
