The future of cryptocurrency mining with Arm

[diamond.g]

This build seems to be doing 2.2Mh though I notice it is still using OpenCL and not Metal where I would assume the rate would be higher.

Why though when you get get 6x the hash rate with $150 RX550?

I thought the ETH DAG was too big to fit in a 4GB frame buffer?

You can still mine Ethereum Classic on 4GB. If you need more memory then RX470/480/570/580 8GB with even faster hash rate.

I really hope that Apple Silicon is terrible for mining. I really don't want supplies to dry up.

Apple Silicon might be bad, never terrible, but thought the hardware, the architecture is yet to be discovered by miners, just a matter of time.
But being optimistic, I don't think will repeat what happened with GPUs because crypto has lost some trust, and than we might have a drop in prices due to popularity.

The M1 Mac mini would've been my choice for an Ethereum staking machine, but thanks to Apple's storage prices it's just not a sensible choice. So at the moment stakers are using the Intel NUCs, which actually run surprisingly hot (that or I am too used to the M1!)

Right now, M1 is a gadget for enthusiasts or to invest some money in development.

Theres no “Hollywood conspiracy.” Crypto people are highly criminal and we know that Steve Bannon and Richard Spencer themselves said Bitcoin is the money of the far right.

Before this energy sucking scam came Bannon and another crypto guy Brock Pierce had a massive virtual mining operation in China. They hired many Chinese gamers to mine World of Warcraft gold for endless hours so that they would have a monopoly of the supply of virtual gold which let them push the price up and make a lot of money.

Bannon then used the money to pay for far right operations in the US and EU.

Then Bitcoin comes along immediately after with a decentralized mining game and the same people involved and again the mining is monopolized in China.

As long as it ain't them lizard people....

So do we think the M1 Max will hit 57MH/s Eth?

You will damage your laptop doing this sustained nonsense. Apple will look at the logs and tell send you home with no replacement or refund. You can’t delete certain hardware logs and forensic hardware analysis will show what you were doing.

Has that happened before?

It would be great as it would be the most efficient eth mining rig!
