JUST IN⚡️: $OPEN weekly acquisition contracts surged +122% WoW to 537 contracts (4,574 total).

This is the #1 metric directly from @Opendoor to watch on the path to profitability. This is MASSIVE. 🚀

Got my $OPEN gear! LFG!

The RandomX Version 2 update aims to address CPU bottlenecks like CFROUND and memory access; it's nearly complete with only PowerPC testing remaining, expected to be ready for hard fork by August 2026, potentially reducing ASIC efficiency significantly without requiring an external audit.
rucknium: sech1, could you describe the purpose of the RandomX update, what tasks remain, any way others can assist, and maybe an expected timeline for completion?

sech1: The purpose is to fix the bottlenecks in RandomX on modern CPUs. The main things we found are CFROUND instruction and memory access, so this is what we changed in v2
I think the only task that remains is PowerPC big-endian intrinsics (two small functions). Need a ppc64be systems to test it

jeffro256: Can you explain a bit further what about the "memory access" was a bottleneck?

articmine: Is this going to be ready for the upcoming hard fork?

sech1: The CPU is waiting for data from the memory (dataset) instead of executing instructions, so it wastes energy
There's a smaller bottleneck with L3 cache access where CPU waited too, but we filled it with AES tweak
acricmine it's already 99% ready, just needs ppc64be test

DataHoarder: we are doing live benchmarks with it, PR/code is ready as well
I have been doing similar tests in my go-randomx project (where it's also already implemented)

rucknium: Any expected effect on the Bitmain X9?

DataHoarder: quoting from elsewhere as well:
"18:22:02 <sech1> If they have RISC-V CPU with hardware AES instructions, it should drop from 1 MH/s to ~650 KH/s on v2
18:22:32 <sech1> If they have the CPU without hardware AES instructions, but with an AES crypto accelerator to generate the scratchpad, they're screwed
18:22:56 <sech1> Like 1 MH/s to 100 KH/s level of screwed"

sech1: It depends on how X9 implemented AES support. If it's a separate circuit not in the CPU, X9 will be effectively bricked
Yes, that above ^
Worst case (for us) it will drop hashrate from 1 MH/s to 650 KH/s

rucknium: I assume you don't know anyone with an actual X9 unit yet.

sech1: It's on preorder now, delivery in July
So no one but Bitmain has it

DataHoarder: They also would need to bother and update the firmware which they didn't even for minor changes on other coins they supported

articmine: Why do I see deja vu here eight years later?

syntheticbird: and be sure you'll see it again in eight years

rucknium: sech1, Before you have said that miners would need a 6 month period of time between released of the "final" monerod for the hard fork and activation of the hard fork with RandomX V2. Is that timeline still accurate?

sech1: 6 months after XMRig release, not monerod
If v2 is finalized and released soon, miners will start updating

rucknium: That makes it easier if it's not a monerod requirement.

DataHoarder: ^ even if no hardfork is set for monero at that point, just xmrig finalized support

sech1: We plan to finalize v2 in January, make a pull request, then I can start updating XMRig and it will be also released in February

DataHoarder: I guess it'd be rx/0 to rx/1 or whatever version shift

sech1: So miners will be (for the most part) hardfork-ready in August
no, rx/v2 :)
I don't want to have confusion with number again as it happened with Cryptonight

rucknium: Would Version 2 need any kind of external audit like Version 1 did, or are the changes small enough not to need it?

sech1: Changes are small and evolutionary

rucknium: Seems like everything is going smoothly :)

DataHoarder: note a v2 hardfork also would include commitments, for anyone tracking that work
commitments already exist in randomx codebase merged

rucknium: commitments of?

sech1: https://t.co/faziwZWxkJ
Those commitments ^

jeffro256: Commitments to PoW verifiable by Blake2b
rucknium: Good to hear.
It's DoS-resistant pre-verification for our RandomX PoW
Integration PR is here: https://t.co/VCJUsCco4A

rucknium: Thanks so much, sech1 and DataHoarder, for working on it!

• Built $SHOP at scale, now attacking $OPEN
• Homeownership strengthens America
• AI replacing human bias in the biggest financial decision people make
• Left $SHOP for performance-based RSUs
• One of the largest retail movements ever formed

We’ve rolled out a new Cash+ experience as of today in a test.

I am very optimistic but we need to measure impact before going 100%.

Waiting for a special event❔ You'll miss $OPEN.

It’s about stacking small edges:
❄️ More data
❄️ Better pricing accuracy
❄️ Increased automation
❄️ Structurally lower costs

Platforms don’t flip overnight, they compound quietly until the curve bends — When the outcome looks obvious, it's too late. ⏳
