[ANN] RandomX 5 Year Anniversary
Yes, it’s been 5 years on the same PoW. And the date came and went without much fanfare. For those perhaps trickling into monero because of the pRiCe, you may not be aware of how much of a milestone this is in the context of an industry that is ruthless when it comes to exploiting weak PoW algorithms for profit.

XMR registers 2.5-year high of $218 after ~31% surge
Monero (XMR/USD1) bulls have managed to essentially wipe all bear progress since May 2022 with an impressive under 9-hour ~31% surge yesterday from $166 to ~$218.
