07:17:24 <Inge-> arm v8.2 cores looks promising. Still under-cached for effective RX performance I think.
07:17:44 <Inge-> 1 MB (L2?) per core, 32 MB L3 ...
07:43:06 <sech1> Wownero has 1 MB scratchpad, a perfect match
19:37:48 <sech1> Who said there are no GPU botnets? RYO (CN-GPU): https://imgur.com/a/5bBdqRY
19:53:24 <gingeropolous> funny how they show those patterns
20:24:22 <Inge-> it is just a calming wave
21:02:07 <hyc> how do they know it's a botnet?
21:02:37 <hyc> 24hr period, could be a data center mining intentionally
21:06:23 <Inge-> the hashrate is pretty low ...
21:06:36 <Inge-> but for CPU it would take quite a few machines ...
21:20:30 <hyc> I wouldn't expect a botnet to dial itself up and down like that. maybe it's "smart" and only mines when the PC is idle
21:20:50 <hyc> but for it to have a perfect 24hr period like that, across thousands of random machines? Not credible.
21:22:07 <sech1> plausible
21:22:11 <sech1> office PCs mostly
21:22:28 <hyc> only if they're all in the same geographical area
21:22:36 <hyc> I would think most botnets are pretty global
21:22:57 <hyc> and office PCs should have a different idle pattern on weekends
21:23:36 <sech1> I see the same patterns in Monero, so they're localized geographically to some extent
23:12:10 <hyc> this looks more to me like a planned activity, not some opportunistic botnet. Maybe operating in an area with solar power
23:12:26 <hyc> or some other scheme that only makes sense to consume electricity during certain time periods
